What are the Customization Enhancements to Force.com?
When creating new apps on the Salesforce platform, it’s now possible to control which features users get at a granular level using custom permissions.
What is Custom Permissions?
DEFINITION: Custom permissions enables developers to easily create custom permissions on profiles and permission sets that Administrators can easily assign to users.
Declaratively Assign Custom Permissions on Profiles and
Permission Sets
Declaratively define custom permissions in
Setup
CUSTOMER IDEA: Custom Permissions was submitted by a customer via the Idea Exchange.
The Manage Users permission is the ultimate power in the universe of permissions. To ensure this permission isn’t over-used, more specific permission have been created for Managing Users: Eight new user permissions have been
crated for managing versus assigning rights for users including profiles, permission sets, roles, sharing, as well as the fundamental user management permission.
The manage users permission still exists, but now fewer users will be assigned to this permission, allowing tighter control over who has access to adjust user permissions.
What are the Enhancements to Permissions?
New Section under System Permissions
New user permissions that separate duties
Publisher Actions show in the Salesforce1 mobile browser app even when Chatter is disabled.
– Can be created and added to the Publisher Actions section in object page layouts.
What are the Enhancements to Publisher Actions?
NOTE: Publisher Actions with Chatter disabled will only show in the Salesforce1 mobile browser app.
No Feed!
No Chatter Actions!
With advanced setup search (beta), capabilities are added to the search box in the Setup sidebar, improving searching for custom field definitions and custom object definitions by name.
– Once advanced setup search is enabled, a tooltip will appear in your Setup search window.
– With custom field search, an administrator or developer can find the custom field definitions he/she is searching for dramatically faster by searching for them by name.
• For example, searching for “loc” returns all custom fields across all objects whose name includes “loc”, such as “Account Location”, “Asset Location,” and “Vehicle Location.”
– With custom object search, you can find the custom object definition you need immediately by typing in at least two letters of its name.
• For example, searching for “ex” returns “Exam,” “Expense,” “Expertise,” and so on.
What are the Enhancements to Setup?
Advanced Setup Search is enabled at
Customize | User Interface
What are the Enhancements to Setup? (cont.)
Filters
1.) Typing “exp” narrows down the Setup tree to the matching Setup pages …
NOTE: Advanced Setup Search (Beta) is an opt-in feature.
2.) Pressing Enter in the sidebar searches for “exp” across all of the org’s custom field definitions, custom object definitions, public
groups, permission sets, profiles, roles, and users.
When setting the Login IP Ranges for a profile on your organization, you can now also enter a description for each range to help identify the purpose of the range setting.
The limit has been raised from three to seven for external IDs on custom fields. Customize feed-based page layouts to meet your needs.
– Expand the feed horizontally and automatically collapse the publisher when it’s not in use so users can see more information at a glance when they work with records.
Every custom object is now classified as a Light or Enterprise object, based on whether or not it uses a private sharing model, Bulk API, or Streaming API.
– If you use a private sharing model, Bulk API, or Streaming API with the object, it’s considered an Enterprise object.
Significant changes were made to how HTML code is handled in home page components.
– To see a full list of the enhancements, please see the release notes. We’ve made some changes to the way actions work in Salesforce and Salesforce1:
– Global Publisher Layouts and Global Actions have new locations in Setup.
– Mobile smart actions no longer automatically display in Salesforce1.
– We’ve added a create action for events to the default actions on the global publisher layout. With Usage based entitlements, track how much your organization is using in a given entitlement.
What are the General Administration Enhancements?
Keep track of how many custom objects your users are assigned to by creating a custom report type with the user License and Custom Object usage by User License Metrics objects.
What are the General Administration Enhancements? (cont.)
Create a new Custom Report Type with “User Licenses” as the primary object.
Sample Matrix Report built using the Custom Report
Type showing custom object usage trending over 3 days.
Workflow email alerts for the User object can reference fields from the user record that triggered the workflow rule.
– When workflow email alerts approach or exceed certain limits, Salesforce sends a warning email to the default workflow user or – if the default workflow user isn’t set – to an active system administrator.
Flow triggers can pass pervious record values into Sobject variables (pilot) using the {!old} value. You can now run reports on completed and in-progress approval processes and their steps. Previously
reports were available only for pending approval requests.
– It’s important you understand the limitations and special behaviors when you create or view approval history reports. To see all considerations, please see the release notes.
There are new methods available for triggering a flow:
– The Apex start() method
– A custom button or link
– The flow URL
– The Run button in the Cloud Flow Designer Manipulate multiple salesforce fields for salesforce records with a single query, and manipulate that data with a
single DML statement by using sObject variables, sObject collection variables, and loops in a flow. When building a flow, you can now reference fields for records that are related to the values that are stored in an
sObject variable.
What are the Enhancements to Workflow?
You now have two options for sending email from a flow: call an existing workflow email alert or configure the email within the flow.
– With an Email Alert element, you only need to associate the email with a record.
– With the Send Email element, you need to provide the subject, body, list of recipients, and sender for the email.
As an alternative to Record or Fast elements, flows can now use object-specific and global actions to create and update salesforce records.
Previously, flows could potentially consume more resources than are allowed by our governor limits, such as the number of DML statements or SOQL queries issued in a single transaction.
What are the Enhancements to Workflow? (cont.)
Previously, administrators could limit user password reuse by selecting an option of up to 15 passwords remembered in an organization’s history. Now administrators can select up to 24 passwords remembered.
Administrators could previously require minimum password lengths of up to 10 characters but can now require a 12 character minimum length.
Admins can require uppercase and lowercase letters (before it was just alpha characters, regardless of case).
Previously administrators could require a maximum lifetime for a password, such as 90 days. Now administrators can also require that password lifetimes be a minimum of one day.
Prevent unwanted access to your organization using the Force logout on session timeout session setting, where the page gets automatically redirected to the login page once a session times out, so whatever was on the screen is no longer visible.
Developer Edition organizations now get 10 Identity Connect permission set licenses for testing and development.
What are the Enhancements to Security?
The Salesforce login page includes a link, Log in to a custom domain, so users of organizations that implemented My Domain or Communities can easily get to their organization.
The multiple username login hints feature lets the salesforce.com login page remember usernames for past login, across multiple organizations or custom domains. This feature is now supported in Internet Explorer 8 and later.
You can use Microsoft Access Control Service as an authentication provider using OAuth. Authorization is typically done by a Microsoft Office 365 service like Sharepoint® Online.
What are the Enhancements to Security? (cont.)
REFERENCE: For a list of all the Summer ‘14 Security features, please see the release notes.
User can click on Log in to a
custom domain
User can overwrite the auto completed My domain URL with their community URL
User start typing and the page displays suggestions for
completing the My Domain URL.
User Sharing controls the visibility of internal users and external users within your organization, communities, and portals. Starting in Summer ‘14, user sharing is on by default in all orgs.
Enable or disable the sharing button for all users via the Sharing Settings page.
What are the Enhancements to Sharing?
User Sharing enabled for all
Separate OWD enabled for all
Control whether users can manually share
their own user record
External Organization-Wide Defaults enable you to set a different default access level for external users. In Summer ‘14, External Organization-Wide defaults are auto-enabled for all organizations.
When you create, update, or delete sharing rules, the resulting recalculation is now processed asynchronously and in parallel. The recalculation is run in parallel and asynchronously in the background, which speeds up the process and provides better resilience to site operations such as patches and server restarts.
– Progress of the recalculation can also be monitored on the Background Jobs page.
What are the Enhancements to Sharing? (cont.)
REFERENCE: For a full list of Summer ‘14 sharing enhancements, please see the release notes.
Use the Salesforce Metadata API to define a retention policy for your field history (Pilot).
– Field History Retention policies define how long field history should be stored in production and archive data stores. With an aggressive retention policy, Salesforce will allow significantly higher field tracking per object, significantly increasing the data audit capability available on the platform
This release includes updates that improve the performance, logic, and usability of Salesforce but may affect your existing customizations. For a full list of critical improvements, see the release notes.

Force.com Development Enhancements
Sandbox Enhancements Change Sets Enhancements Force.com Canvas Enhancements Developer Console Enhancements Visualforce Enhancements Additional Force.com Development Enhancements
What are the Force.com Development Enhancements?
In Summer ‘14, Sandbox copy and refresh now support connected apps installed using a package installation, such as connected apps installed from the AppExchange.
You can match provisioned licenses in production to your sandbox organization without having to refresh your sandbox.
What are the Enhancements to Sandbox?
Administrators and Developers now have new ways to use change sets and external tools for deployments. The following Entitlement type sets are now included in change sets:
– Entitlement Process
– Entitlement Template
– Milestone Account access permissions are now included in territories and deployed as part of territories in change sets. With Summer ‘14, you can now monitor the status of all deployments in one place. Change sets, the Metadata
API, and tools-based deployments all show on the Deployment Status page.
The Force.com Migration Tool now accepts the rollbackOnError parameter in build.xml for deployment targets and no longer ignores this value.
What are the Enhancements to Change Sets?
Now you can directly embed Canvas Apps on your Page Layouts and in S1 Mobile Cards without having to use a Visualforce wrapper.
What are the Enhancements to Force.com Canvas?
Embed your Canvas App directly in a Page Layout without using a Visualforce Container
Canvas Apps can be displayed in Record Detail and in Mobile
Cards in S1
The orientation event enables you to handle changes in orientation when your canvas app appears on a mobile device.
Set your own Canvas App icon for your apps in S1 Mobile Navigation menu.
What are the Enhancements to Force.com Canvas? (cont.)
Canvas apps can use their own logo,
or the default Puzzle Piece logo
Rotating your device sends an event letting the canvas app know
which orientation you are at (0, -90, or 90 degrees)
Now you can dynamically generate Canvas App parameters and modify the signed request through the use of an Apex class associated to the Canvas App
What are the Enhancements to Force.com Canvas? (cont.)
Using an Apex Lifecycle Handler, you can
override the default behavior of the signed
request and context
You can use custom logic to override the default Canvas URL
Now you can include record details in the signed request that are automatically generated based on the record the Canvas App is embedded on. The <apex:canvasApp> component has a new attribute called entityFields. This attribute lets you specify object fields to be returned in the signed request Record object.
What are the Enhancements to Force.com Canvas? (cont.)
You can set the record fields in the Apex Lifecycle
handler and/or the Visualforce component
The fields requested will be returned in the “record” object in the
signed request and context
The Canvas SDK provides methods to resend and refresh the signed request, allowing you to use your existing single sign on solution (including SAML) to provide your users with a seamless authentication flow.
What are the Enhancements to Force.com Canvas? (cont.)
This also allows you to display VF
pages between different orgs
With SAML Support, you can now log
into your 3rd party app and then refresh the Signed request through the Canvas
SDK
The new Edit menu in the Developer Console allows you to quickly access search and edit functionality. Search for files by name using the new Open Resource dialog in the Developer Console. Use the Query Plan tool to optimize and speed up queries done over large volumes.
The Change Log Levels dialog in the Developer Console now includes a color-coded Expiration field that displays the current logging status.
What are the Enhancements to Developer Console?
Visualforce Remote Objects has been improved with new features, including remote method overrides, an upsert() operation, the orderby query condition for specifying sort order, and new query operators for where conditions. Also, Remote Objects now supports geolocation fields, which removes a limitation of the prior release.
The topics widget lets users see, add, and remove topics on a record so it’s easy to tag and categorize records. Use the renderStyle attribute to specify whether the widget appears with a basic or an advanced user interface.
The markerFill and fillColor attributes of the <apex:lineSeries> charting component weren’t defaulting to match the component’s strokeColor as documented. This behavior has been corrected for pages that are set to API versions 31.0 and later.
The way that Visualforce adds Salesforce CSS and JavaScript resources to generated pages has been optimized. The result is pages that are faster to download and more efficient to render in the browser than in prior releases.
Visualforce session management has been improved to more correctly handle transitions between different salesforce.com servers. The critical update is transparent in normal use but fixes problems with certain edge cases.
What are the Enhancements to Visualforce?
Limits for all Apex describe calls have been removed for all API versions. Describe calls include describes for sObjects, fields, field sets, child relationships, picklists, and record types.
The Limits methods for script statements have been removed but are available and deprecated in API version 30.0 and earlier. Because the script statement limit is no longer enforced in any API version since Winter ’14, the associated Limits methods are no longer needed.
You can access the Standard Price Book in your apex tests when SeeAllData=FALSE and create your own test data rather than relying on pre-existing test data.
You can submit more batch jobs simultaneously and actively manage the order of the queued jobs (Pilot) There are a number of changed methods, classes, and interfaces in the Summer ’14 release. For a full list of
these changes, please see the release notes. There are a number of new and changed objects, as well as new and changed calls, methods and attributes
related to API 31.0. For a full list of API changes, please see the release notes.

ISV Enhancements
Historically, after selecting to install an app from AppExchange, customers have had to go through a long installation experience. New with Summer ‘14, a simplified installer makes app installation possible in just one step.
What are the Enhancements to ISVForce?
Release Notes
One-step Install
ISVs can specify the set of post-installation configuration steps that their customers should perform upon install or upgrade.
What are the Enhancements to ISVForce? (cont.)
Post install instructions
NOTE: While uploading the package, the ISV has to specify the post install instructions. This can be a URL to their website or a VF page that is part of the package that is being uploaded.
The new Partner Community at https://partners.salesforce.com is now the primary resource for all ISVs. You can collect detailed Usage Metrics from each organization in which your managed package is installed,
giving you valuable insights into the utilization and performance of your app across your entire customer base. The Usage Metrics Visualization package, available from Salesforce Labs on the AppExchange, enables you
to visualize trends in usage metrics data for your app.
What are the Enhancements to ISVForce? (cont.)
Ability to visualize metrics for one org or across all orgs
Visualize Data for the Last 30, 7 or 2 days
The License Management App now generates licenses and leads for package installation in sandbox organizations, in addition to production organizations.
Administrators can now use the API to assign or revoke licenses for any managed package installed in their organization.
You can now create partner organizations directly from the Environment Hub, instead of having to visit the Partner Portal.
Mobile packaging is now available to all customers for free, solving the app distribution problem for customers building mobile apps on the Salesforce platform by providing an easy mechanism for distributing those apps to employees or partners.
