Increase Workflow Time Trigger Limit to >999 Days
As of now, there is a 999 day limit in the Workflow Time Trigger function in Salesforce. For an organization like mine that has mandatory reporting requirements that go on for years after a case is created, it would be helpful if this limit could be extended. In fact, it would be fantastic if the hours/days drop-down included weeks or months, as well.
This would allow for workflows that would remind case owners when certain tasks need to be completed... particularly when cases remain active for many years (and case owners are managing a large volume of cases).
SF Mobile - Team Data for Tasks and Events
Currently, users cannot download team data on SF Mobile for Tasks and Events. For example: If was was a Sales Manager or above and wanted to see data on all onsite visits taking place (Logged Calls) in SF Mobile, I cannot do it. Currently I can only see my own or those that relate to me directly.
I believe you could do this in early 2008, but it recently dissappeared. We couldn't use tasks and events much on mobile previously because the start and end appointment times weren't working correctly. Now those are fixed, but we can't create any views for the data logged in the system.
In the help guide on the Salesforce Mobile console it says you cannot synch "All Records" for Events. We would like to synch the user's team records but it is not an available option for events.
Optionally, use filters to restrict the records that a parent or child data set includes:
Use the Filter by Record Ownership options to configure Salesforce to automatically synchronize records based on the owner of the record. The possible options are:
All Records: Salesforce automatically synchronizes all records the user can access. The All Records option is not available for tasks and events when they are parent data sets in a mobile configuration. This helps prevent failed data synchronization due to activity filter queries that take too long to run.
User's Records: Salesforce automatically synchronizes all records the user owns.
User's Team's Records: Salesforce automatically synchronizes all records owned by the user and the user's subordinates in the role hierarchy.
User's Account Team's Records: Salesforce automatically synchronizes accounts for which the user is an account team member, but does not include accounts owned by the user.
User's Sales Team's Records: Salesforce automatically synchronizes opportunities for which the user is a sales team member, but does not include opportunities owned by the user.
None (Search Only): Salesforce does not automatically synchronize any records for this data set; however, users can use their mobile devices to search all of the records they can access.
Campaign Inclusion Reports
I want to grab all contacts who are in Campaign A with a certain status, but not in Campaign B and not in Campaign C.
I can't do this right now in standard reporting. Please add this functionality to allow for more sophisticated outreach and messaging.
Creation of any object via workflow rule.
I had many requests in crating new objects such as opportunity after period of 1 year, however there is no such option in the workflow rules it would be nice to have. It would be more robust than writing apex code.
IDE: Keyboard Shortcut to Run Tests
When developing, I typically run tests and get failure, then write some code and re-run the tests. This is repeated many times.
Ctrl+S is nice for saving files, and I would like a keyboard shortcut to re-run the tests currently in the Apex Test Runner.
IDE: Line Numbers on test results
Test results in the IDE can quickly become thousands of lines long when we are debugging. Please add line numbers to the test log viewer to make review easier.
IDE: Autocomplete for Apex and Visualforce code
Please add type-ahead code complete for Apex and Visualforce to the IDE editors.
Also please create simple macros for creating setters and getters for variables. We all write that one line of code 10 times a day--make it easier to do by making sure the built in Eclipse code macro generators work with the Force.com editors.
IDE: Enable real-time collaboration with ECF
Eclipse Communication Framework allows for collaborative coding via instant message and other protocols. One nice feature is real-time co-editing of code through Coda. Please make the Force.com IDE function with these Eclipse tools.
IDE: Show Problem count more visibly
If you have a save problem in the Force.com IDE, it will put an error in the problem view. This can easily be missed. It would be nice to have problems jump out at you a bit better, perhaps showing the current problem count in the main toolbar.
IDE: Full text search on test results log
Please make the test results searchable in the Force.com IDE. I have to copy the results out to a text editor and then search them there.
Make Governor Limits Queryable in Apex
Governor limits will always be a factor in Force.com code. There will always be cases where things beyond our control--data may push us over governor limits. It would be easier to build code that behaves better if we could get current governor limits from Apex.
For example,
System.Governors.Trigger.TotalDMLStatements
would return 20, which we could use in our code. If the limits ever go up, our code is ready to take advantage of that.
Sort Cases by Date when last Comment added, or Date when last attachment added
I use the Console to manage cases. We want to be able to sort the list of cases in the upper part of the console using the date when the case was last updated. This allows us to see cases which are being worked on to be together at one end of the list, and cases which don't have so much activity at the other end. There is a field called "Last Modified Date/Time" but this field is only changed when the case header is changed. If the only change involves adding a comment, or attachment, then this field is not changed. Perhaps another date/time field is required which contains the Date/Time when the Last Comment/Attachment was added. Or, maybe the exisitng "Last Modified Date/Time" should be updated when comments are added, or when attachments are added.
