2. The new Salesforce Mobile App is a game changer

3. Printable View for Lists comes to Lightning

The RECYCLE BIN is now in Lightning, and it’s even better

Now we’ve View, Restore, Delete and The Tab for Recycle Bin.

Why people love it: Accidental deletions happen more often than most of us would like to admit, and having the ability to easily find and “undo the oops” without switching back to Classic is on the shortlist of the most highly anticipated “better in Lightning” features.

Printable View for Lists comes to Lightning

Why people love it: Even if we live mostly in a digital world, there are still those times when you just need that hard copy. The Printable view gives you only the parts you need from the screen.

Bye-bye Power of One fields. Hello Count Unique Values (Beta)

First, enable this feature from “Reports and Dashboards Settings” by selecting “Enable Unique Row Count Aggregate in Reports (Lightning Experience Only).”

Why people love it: Admins everywhere have struggled with this “counting conundrum” since the dawn of Salesforce, and the best way to accomplish this was to add the legendary “Power of One” custom formula field on every object you want to count. With this feature now built into the report options, you can reserve your custom fields for other things.

Start a Flow on a Schedule:

What it is: Now you can schedule an autolaunched flow to start on a particular date and time and set the frequency to once daily, or weekly. Scheduled flows can run on a set of records you specify. For example, send a weekly alert to the owners of Opportunities in the Prospecting stage that haven’t been updated in the last seven days.

Why people love it: Previously, the only way to schedule a flow was to use scheduled Apex to call the flow. Scheduled Flows lets Admins schedule flows to run with the same ease as setting up a meeting.

Platform App Builder Certification Maintenance (Winter '24)

Maintain Your Platform App Builder Certification for Winter ’24 The Enable Reactive Components for Screen Flows running API Version 57.0 and 58.0 setting expires in Winter ’25. Before that release, upgrade your flows to run on API version 59.0 or later to take advantage of reactive components. Build Screen Flows with Reactive Global Variables Save time by referencing global variables in reactive formulas on flow screens. Use custom labels in reactive formulas to display translatable text to your users. For example, create a custom setting called DiscountPercentage, which specifies org, profile, and user discount percentages. Reference the variable in reactive formulas across a screen flow. The screen flow applies the correct discount value for the user running the flow and recalculates the value as the user makes changes.

Make Invocable Actions Easier to Configure with New InvocableVariable Modifiers Simplify the configuration of invocable actions using new modifiers from Salesforce. Both the defaultValue and placeholderText modifiers will appear in Flow Builder for the Action elements that correspond to an invocable method. Here’s how to use them. defaultValue Modifier : Set a default value for an input parameter. When the action is used, the input parameter will have a predefined value unless changed by the user. placeholderText Modifier : Set custom placeholder text for an input parameter. Text can provide examples or additional guidance to help users understand what to enter in the input field. Accessing these modifiers in Flow Builder makes it easier to configure and use the actions within your flows. This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Performance, Unlimited, Developer, Enterprise, and Database.com editions.
