Ability to Hide Schedule Refresh Option
Organizations are limited to the number of Scheduled Refreshes they can have. For large organizations, that limit can be quickly reached, resulting in a "1st Come, 1st Serve" motto in terms of who can schedule a refresh. Could there be a way to either increase the number of allowed Scheduled Refreshed or hide the option altogether to be able to cut-down on user frustration when they find they are not able to schedule a refresh due to company limits being hit.
Add an Apex Perspective to Apex Toolkit for Eclipse
It would be nice if there were a default Apex perspective bundled with the Apex Toolkit for Eclipse. That would save a few minutes of configuration when setting up the Apex Toolkit, and would help new users (like me!) find their way around the interface quicker.
Need Territory Management in custom report types
Currently you cannot insert territory management fields into custom reports. The standard Salesforce.com reports all have a number of territory management related items that can be include in those reports. Please enable Territory Management fields so that they can be pulled into custom report types. I need to be able to put territory information into my custom reports.
BUG - HTML solutions automatically create links to a local disk drive
In my opinion the below is a bug, but the support staff sees it as a feature request so they make me post it here.
When you enter a path to a specific location on a computer in the solution text, then Salesforce automatically creates a link of the first part of that path. So it create a url link to a local disk drive. Example:
If you enter this:
C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\bhs\
Then it creates a link of thix:
C:\documents
Why is this a bug?
1) It's not logical to create a link to a local disk drive, it should only create links to web sites (if at all).
2) The link that is creates is not correct. It breaks at the first space in the entered location.
3) Maybe it should not create links at all. This because the html editor also provides a button to insert a link so it would also be acceptable that you have to make a link yourself when you want to.
4) There is no way to remove the link if you don't want to have it.
Linking Campaigns
Different campaigns should be able to be linked together in order to more accurately track ROI. Often there are many different ways that people sign up for services and they are tracked by individual campaign even though the goal is the same between all the campaigns. If these campaigns could be linked, it would be much easier to identify all of the similar campaigns and have better organization within the system.
Support REST-based Web Services
I have spent the day trying to consume third-party web services from my Apex classes. It is amazingly frustrating. If some attention was paid to building and making REST-based web service calls from Apex, and dealing with the XML or other datatypes returned by those calls, I think the integration of a third-party service would be much simpler.
I believe some of this may be possible with the, soon to be released, HTTP Callouts, but I wanted to make sure this request was recorded.
Please expose Campaign Source Field on Opportunity w/Products Reports!
We'd like to be able to also have campaign source when creating advanced reports. It has all the other oppty fields!!! This would show us more info on ROI as well as campaign / marketing metrics.
Thanks
Email Relaying in Professional Edition
Enabling email relaying for Professional Edition (PE) customers, already available for EE and UE customers since our Spring '07 release.
Email relaying is using an email server to send email that did not originate on the email server. Companies set up email relaying to:
* Route all email through their own email servers to avoid the appearance of email spoofing by Salesforce. Email spoofing is the forging of email headers to make messages appear as if they came from someone other than the original sender.
* Store copies of all email as required by government regulations in various industries.
* Apply existing content filters that scan messages for data and content that is not approved to be sent out through company email.
* Run outbound email through antivirus software before sending it to customers.
* Append data such as company-wide disclaimers at the bottom of email messages.
* Use Transport Layer Security (TLS), a protocol for secure email communication, to ensure the security and authenticity of both inbound and outbound email.
You can set up email relaying for Salesforce-generated email by configuring Salesforce to automatically route email through your company's Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server.
Use Email Template with SingleEmailMessage
The MassEmailMessage object in the Apex API lets you specify an email template to use with the emails. In the SalesForce user interface, users can specify an email template when sending an email to a Contact.
But when you use the SingleEmailMessage object to send a single email, there is no templateId property that lets you use an existing template for the message. As a result, you always have to create the message from scratch.
I'd like to see the ability added to SingleEmailMessage to use an existing email template. This would greatly simplify the code used to send common one-off emails.
Local search in Apex Mobile WM5
Some simple local search should be available in Apex Mobile (WM5). I believe something exists under other OSs. E.g. on the Account tab, sorted by name, it should be possible to select e.g. 's' to get only accounts starting with 's'.
New Field Type: Tag
I would like to be able to tag records in a similar fashion to http://del.icio.us
I realize that one can tag solutions. However, I would like to be able to tag anything. Furthermore, I don't want to be constricted by pre-defined tags as with the solutions. I want to be able to enter them on the fly.
I would propose that a new field type be created called "Tag"
If applicable, when one clicks on this field one would enter tags separated by spaces.
Corresponding to this, would be a new list tag view or cloud tag view.
Here's an example:
I currently use Salesforce.com to track both customers and vendors among other entities.
I have a field called Type under Accounts whereby one selects Customer, Vendor, Competitor, Government Agency, Trade Organization, etc
I created a new Multi-select field under Accounts called subtype that applies, at this point, only to Vendors. There, I can select from a large list of items. I were in the steel construction industry. So, some sample values are: steel, paint, fasteners, welding, crane, trucking, etc.
The reason why this new type of field would be very helpful is that often a supplier suppliers many different types of items.
Hope this helps.
Email Approval - Out of Office reply loop - 500k emails
We've had this happen a couple times now where our users setup an out of office rule (in their Out of Office Assistant) to reply to all email (internal and external) and the user is also in one of our approval processes.
We have the email response functionality turned on. When they receive an email from salesforce, their out of office replies to the sender. Salesforce can't make sense of the reply (APPROVED, DENIED, YES, NO, etc.) so another email is sent to the user, then their out of office replies again....on and on...
We had one user receive 500,000 emails in the span of a couple days. Just now we had our Europe Exchange server grind to a halt because of the same occurance.
Need to put in a feature into the system to detect out of office replies, and sever this loop.
