Tip of the Week – Editing Hovers in Lightning

Tip of the Week – Editing Hovers in Lightning

Little features of a system can make big differences in function and efficiency. Take for example, the hover feature. You know, that intuitive aspect of computing where you place your cursor over something you are interested in, and more info will pop up without clicking. It saves time and keeps screens de-cluttered and organized. If you are using Salesforce, you can see this hover feature in action when you hover over a Case number, and an extremely helpful pop-up will give you a preview of what is contained in that Case.

In the standard format, this hover feature can be a great help to moving deals faster and simply making sure you have the right case. However, if you are using Salesforce Lightning, it can get better. With a little know how,  you can choose exactly what info is pertinent, and customize what appears when you hover over the Case number. Follow the link below for a quick guide on modifying your compact layouts, and making those hovers work for you.

Tip of the Week – Overriding Tabs and Pages in Salesforce

Tip of the Week – Overriding Tabs and Pages in Salesforce

Today’s tip comes courtesy of a recent client question that yielded great results. Specifically, the question came up, “what do I do if I want to override the default page for the Opportunities Tab?” The solution here comes in two parts.

First, you need to create the custom Visualforce Page that will be used to replace the default home page. This will probably be the tough, time consuming part as you need to build out your Apex code to make the page. However, once that is done, the second step is quick and painless. Simply, go to Setup –> Customize –> Opportunities –> Buttons and Links –> Then Edit link next to the Opportunity tab. Upload your custom page and that’s it! This procedure can be used to edit and customize any tab or page within Salesforce.
