Salesforce Winter’25 Features For Admins

1. Configure Record Highlights in Lightning App Builder

The Dynamic Highlights Panel offers greater customization for your Lightning record pages, replacing the compact layout and traditional highlights panel with a flexible option. Now, you can display up to 12 fields, tailored to your needs. Key features include:

  • Primary Field Selection: Assign a Primary Field (recommended as the record's Name) to be the panel's header.
  • Filter Criteria: Customize which fields are displayed based on criteria you define.
  • Mobile App Configuration: Extend the Dynamic Highlights Panel to mobile Record Pages for a consistent experience across devices.

Example: Managing customer records, you want sales reps to instantly access key details. You configure the Dynamic Highlights Panel to display fields like “Account Status,” “Last Interaction Date,” and “Opportunity Value.” With “Account Name” set as the primary field, it’s displayed prominently, helping reps focus on crucial information quickly.

2. Enable Dynamic Highlights Panel and Dynamic Forms on Mobile with One Click

Easily activate Dynamic Forms and the Dynamic Highlights Panel for mobile devices with a single click. This streamlined process ensures a consistent experience across desktop and mobile, saving time.

Example: Your sales team frequently accesses Salesforce on their phones. By enabling Dynamic Highlights Panel and Dynamic Forms with one click, they can view the same fields and layouts on both mobile and desktop, improving efficiency and consistency.

3. Make Record Fields Stand Out with Conditional Formatting

Enhance your Dynamic Forms-enabled pages using conditional formatting. You can apply icons and colors to fields based on specific criteria or values.

Example: On a Lead record page, you apply conditional formatting to the “Lead Relationship” field. A green checkmark appears for high-priority leads (“Hot”), a yellow exclamation mark for medium-priority leads (“Warm”), and a red cross for low-priority leads (“Cold”), helping sales reps quickly prioritize follow-ups.

Note: Use conditional formatting carefully to maintain clarity in your org.

4. Add Calculated Fields to Your Lightning Reports with Einstein Generative AI

Einstein Generative AI simplifies the creation of Summary Formulas and Row-Level Formulas in reports by allowing you to:

  • Describe Your Calculation: Input your needs in plain language.
  • Review and Insert: Einstein suggests a formula, ready to be added to your report.

Example: You need to calculate “Customer Lifetime Value” in a sales report. Instead of writing the formula manually, you describe it to Einstein Generative AI as “Calculate total revenue minus total costs over the customer’s lifetime.” Einstein suggests the formula, reducing errors and speeding up your workflow.

Note: Available for Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions with the Einstein 1 Sales or Service Edition and the DC Report GPT add-on.

5. Do More with Custom Report Types (Beta)

The revamped Custom Report page in Setup improves usability and flexibility. Key enhancements include:

  • Streamlined Layout Editor: Manage custom fields and sections with ease.
  • Expanded Field Limits: Add up to 1,000 fields using lookup fields.
  • Enhanced Customization: Search for fields, view details, and adjust names directly in the editor.

Example: You need a custom report to analyze regional sales performance. With the new Custom Report page, you can drag and drop fields like “Sales Region,” “Total Sales,” and “Target Achievement” into your report layout. You can also include up to 1,000 fields, offering a detailed view of your data.

6. Get Better Performance for List Views on Custom and Standard Objects

List views for custom and standard objects now load faster thanks to Lightning Web Components (LWC), replacing Aura, for enhanced performance.

Example: Your list views for custom objects like “Support Tickets” previously loaded slowly. With this update, they are now faster and more responsive, allowing you to manage support tickets efficiently.

7. Make Inline Edits with the Enhanced User List View

The User List View now offers a modern UI with inline editing capabilities. You can view, sort, filter, and modify records directly within the list view without navigating away.

Example: You need to update contact information for multiple users. With the enhanced User List View, you can edit fields like “Email Address” and “Phone Number” directly in the list view, streamlining the process and saving time.

8. Improved User Access Summary Page

The revamped User Access Summary page provides a consolidated view of user information, making access management simpler.

Example: While managing user permissions, you need a quick overview of access rights. The improved User Access Summary page consolidates this information, making it easier to review and manage access.

9. Get Insight into How a User’s Permissions are Granted

The new “Access Granted By” feature offers a pop-up view showing which Permission Sets, Permission Set Groups, or Profiles grant access, making permission management more efficient.

Example: If a user is unable to access a particular object, you can click “Access Granted By” to see which Permission Sets or Profiles are controlling access, allowing you to quickly troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

10. See How Object Access is Granted in Object Manager

The Object Manager now allows you to view detailed information about which permission sets, permission set groups, and profiles provide access to an object, and the level of access granted.

Example: To verify which profiles have access to a sensitive object like “Financial Reports,” you can now see a detailed breakdown of access levels from different permission sets and profiles, ensuring access control is properly managed.

Top Salesforce Winter’25 Release Flow Features and Updates

1. Errors and Warnings Pane

The Errors and Warnings pane in Salesforce Flow enables users to quickly identify and resolve issues that could prevent a flow from being saved or activated. It organizes these errors and warnings into categories, simplifying the troubleshooting process.

Example: While building a flow to automate lead qualification, if an error occurs in a decision element (such as a missing field reference), the Errors and Warnings pane will point out the exact issue and provide a direct link to the element, allowing for quick fixes without having to search through the entire flow.

2. Simplified Flow Resources

Creating variables and constants is now more intuitive, with better grouping and labeling of flow resources like Text, Number, Currency, Boolean, Date, and Date/Time.

Example: If you're building a flow to calculate the total value of a sales order, you can easily create a "Currency" variable named "TotalOrderValue" and a "Number" constant for "DiscountRate" in the Flow Builder’s Manager panel. These resources are well-organized, speeding up the flow creation process.

3. New Flow Builder Tips

Salesforce has added optimization tips within Flow Builder that guide you in designing efficient flows, helping avoid configurations that could slow down performance or hit system limits.

Example: While creating a flow for customer service case routing, a tip might appear suggesting that too many nested loops could degrade performance. The tip could recommend using fewer decision points or an Apex trigger to streamline the flow and improve efficiency.

4. Einstein Generative AI (Beta)

With Einstein Generative AI, you can now create flow formulas by describing the desired outcome in plain language, and the AI will generate the appropriate formula for you.

Example: If you need a formula to apply a 10% discount to a product price, instead of manually writing it, you can simply describe the action: "Calculate a 10% discount on the product price." Einstein AI will generate the formula: Product_Price__c * 0.9, which you can then implement in your flow.

5. Editable Einstein Instructions

Einstein instructions can now be edited directly in Flow Builder, enabling you to adjust settings on the spot.

Example: If you're using Einstein to create personalized email content in a flow, you can easily modify the instructions for tone or content directly within the Einstein interface, without needing to restart the flow creation process, making it easier to refine your automations.

6. Subflows in Prompt Flows

You can now add active prompt flows as subflows within a main flow, making it easier to break complex automations into smaller, manageable sections.

Example: In a flow designed to gather customer feedback, you could include a subflow that focuses specifically on product quality, with detailed questions. The results are then passed back to the main flow for further processing, such as generating reports or triggering alerts.

7. Expanded Email Options

The "Send Email" action in Flow Builder now allows you to add up to 150 email recipients via the CC and BCC fields, significantly increasing the previous limit of 5.

Example: If you’re setting up a flow to send promotional offers, you can now add team members in the CC field for internal awareness and use the BCC field to discreetly include select partners without revealing their email addresses to others.

8. Scheduled Flows Limit in Debug Details

The Debug Details panel now displays your organization’s daily limit for scheduled flows, helping you keep track of flow execution capacity.

Example: For companies running scheduled flows for monthly reporting, you can check the Debug Details panel to see how many scheduled flows you have left for the day, ensuring you stay within the limit and critical reports are generated on time.

9. Action Buttons for Screen Flows

Action Buttons in Salesforce screen flows now show a running status and allow you to reference the progress in other parts of the flow.

Example: In a flow that updates multiple customer records, an Action Button could trigger an auto-launched flow to handle the updates. As the process runs, you can disable other buttons or display a loading icon, ensuring users don’t take conflicting actions while the update is in progress.
