Comment on New Opportunity Page Layout – With Highlights Panel! by David Schach

I’m GUESSING that it will come out with Chatter, as that will be one of the signs that the new UI is fully deployed. As Chatter and the Deal Bar both require that an org has the new UI, they cannot be released until that happens.
So bottom line: I think it will come out when Chatter is GA, or perhaps between two major releases (Spring and Summer 10) as a minor update.
I have ZERO hard facts from salesforce.com — and with Safe Harbor and all that, I wouldn’t make any predictions anyway!

It’s not officially ready yet. I got it in a pilot in a prerelease. But it will be ready for the public soon, I hear.

How did you get Salesforce to enable this in your Sandbox? My support rep says it is not available, and I even directed her to your posting here.

Comment on SugarCRM: Shenanigans! by Steve

SugarCRM should look in the mirror before they start hurling rocks.

Earlier this year, I was hired into a company that was using SugarCRM. I hadn’t seen it before, but it was clear to me that it was an attempt to clone SFDC’s functionality and — to a great extent — SFDC’s look and feel. The staff at this company was on their last nerve with Sugar. The transaction times were often in the 20 – 45 second range, occasionally more than a minute. Queries frequently returned partial results. I politely suggested a switch to SFDC, demoed it for them, and they quickly signed up. I managed to migrate their data from Sugar in a couple of hours.

That is true now, but when the post was written, Event & Task did not support enhanced list views.

Just Create a VF page with a meta redirect to “/007″ this will elimiate any iframe needed.

Comment on Preparing a New Org by Geraldine

And what do you mean it’s not a “How To”? Many an aspiring admin will be using this as the be all and end all to prepping a new org.

Totally stealing this plus my 0.02c worth:
Create roles to match the company org, where no org is available, be guided by the project leader on the client’s side
Add Role.
Once you have created the roles, assign users to those roles dependent on sharing/viewing information.
Add an Executive Administrator who will assist the Executive or CEO and allow them access to edit everything.
Finally, go to Administration Setup > Security Controls > Sharing Settings > and set up sharing rules to share all records read/write/edit between CEO/Executive and CEO/Executive or else the CEO will not be able to view or edit Accounts, Contacts, Reports etc which TFG creates.

Comment on Proof that salesforce.com listens – and comprehends by Scott Hemmeter

A great change coming out of this would be a single screen to set many of these random settings. Perhaps it’s a screen you get to on initial launch of an org and also one that is easily accessible in Setup.

Well that’s short and to the point.

They may have a light touch but there’s no question Salesforce.com focuses on and has successfully enabled a very powerful community.

They do actually listen, you are right! One of my buddies at Appirio complained that the new login screen was confusing and they changed it in a matter of days. Take that SAP!!
