Tip of the Week – Easily Track Your Salesforce Certifications in the New Year

It’s a new year, a fresh start and that means New Year’s Resolutions. For many people out there, every year begins with a real desire to boost our careers and to make the coming year a big step towards personal success. What better way to do this than by earning a new Salesforce Certification?!

To help you make that resolution a reality, Salesforce has created a Credential Status Request tool to help you track and access your Certification progress. This simple tool, rolled out as of the Winter ‘18 release, is found on the Salesforce website. Once there, you simply put in your Webassesor username or email, and Salesforce will email you a list of your credentials, your required release exam(s), and due date(s). Worried about missing an important due date? Salesforce will automatically send out status reminders every other month.

Tip of the Week – Salesforce Search Function Updates and Tricks

Tip of the Week – Salesforce Search Function Updates and Tricks

From large to small, every release of Salesforce, (Spring, Summer and Winter) includes changes and tweaks to many different features. As one of the small changes in this year’s Winter ‘18 release, the search function has become smarter and faster in this year’s. The search changes are seemingly simple, so you might not notice them if you don’t know what to look for.

First, the instant results that appear under the search box now have a spell check function, helping you enter the correct search keywords, even if you aren’t the best at spelling. Following that is a trio of features that can make scanning and using search results a breeze. You can resize results columns, toggle the text results to wrap, and easily sort your search results. So now that you know, pull up that search bar and check out these handy new upgrades. Unfortunately, these improved search features will not be standard for everyone. As of now, these improved search functions are only taking effect on instances of Salesforce Lightning.
