App of the Week – Create Salesforce Hotkeys in Chrome

App of the Week – Create Salesforce Hotkeys in Chrome

If you are the sort of Salesforce user who repeats many of the same tasks throughout the day, such as logging calls, or updating data on pages, this app could be a huge timesaver for you. Not built into Salesforce, but rather, as an extension of Google Chrome, this app allows you to create your own hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts) for just about any function on your Visualforce pages. There are even two kinds of hotkeys available, so you can adjust the hotkey based on your personal preference.

Instead of scrolling to the bottom of your account page to find the “add file” button, you can simply program a simple combination, such as ctrl + A, to do it for you. Try it out to boost your productivity.

Tip of the Week – Chrome Extensions for Salesforce

Tip of the Week – Chrome Extensions for Salesforce

Salesforce is the #1 CRM in the world. Google Chrome is the #1 browser in the world, swallowing up around 50% of the browser market share. So it only seems natural that the two would start integrating.

Google Chrome has extensions for just about everything in Salesforce: login, productivity, debugging and code search tools, and more! You can enhance your dashboards, analyze code, and set custom hotkeys. What’s more, this is only a partial list of the extensions out there! If you can dream it, there’s a chance someone has developed it.

App of the Week – This free Chrome extension brings Salesforce Dashboards to a new level

App of the Week – This free Chrome extension brings Salesforce Dashboards to a new level

Salesforce Dashboards rock! Take data from multiple Reports, visualize that data with easy-to-understand charts, then put them together on one page, all with a simple drag-and-drop interface. Dashboards let you get the pulse of your business at a glance. But there are some notable limitations. For example, you can only have 3 columns on one Dashboard, and automatic refreshes can’t happen more than once daily. If you need to see more data at once and need up-to-the-second information, you need to check out this awesome Chrome Extension!

Salesforce only allows you to refresh Dashboards daily, weekly, or monthly. With Enhance Salesforce Dashboard, you can now have “up to the second” real time information. Use options to set auto refresh frequency/duration.

Enhance Salesforce Dashboard is a free application that you can install today. My whole team loves this fantastic tool, and I know you will too! Check it out!
