For example, you can let users create Available in: both Salesforce or update records and log calls directly in their Chatter feed or from their mobile device. Classic (not available in all Quick actions can also invoke Lightning components, flows, Visualforce pages, or canvas apps with orgs) and Lightning functionality that you define. For example, you can create a custom action so that users can write Experience comments that are longer than 5,000 characters. Or create one that integrates a video-conferencing application so that support agents can communicate visually with customers. Quick actions available in: Group, Professional, Create quick actions, and add them to your Salesforce Classic home page, to the Chatter tab, to Enterprise, Performance, Chatter groups, and to record detail pages. Choose from standard quick actions, such as create and Unlimited, Contact update actions, or create custom actions based on your company’s needs. Manager, Database.com, and Developer Editions Note: Custom quick actions aren’t supported in Chatter groups with customers. Custom canvas actions In Salesforce Classic, quick actions appear in the Chatter publisher when Chatter Settings are enabled. available in: Professional In Lightning Experience, they appear in different areas of the user interface, depending on the (with Canvas enabled), action’s type. In the Salesforce mobile app, actions of all types appear in the action bar, the action Enterprise, Performance, bar’s action menu, and as list-item actions. Unlimited, and Developer Editions Quick actions come in two flavors. Object-specific quick actions Object-specific actions have automatic relationships to other records. Users can quickly create or update records, log calls, send emails, and more in the context of a particular object. For example, you add an object-specific action on the Account object that creates contacts. If a user creates a contact with that action on the detail page for the Acme account, that new contact is associated with Acme. Global quick actions You create global quick actions in a different place in Setup than object-specific actions. They’re called global actions because they can be put anywhere actions are supported. Users can log call details, create or update records, or send email, all without leaving the page they’re on. There are several types of object-specific and global quick actions. • Create actions let users create records—like New Contact, New Opportunity, and New Lead. Global create actions enable users to create object records, but the new record has no direct relationship with other records. Object-specific create actions create records that are automatically associated with related records. They’re different from the Quick Create and Create New features on the Salesforce Classic home page, because create actions respect validation rules and field requiredness, and you can choose each action’s fields. • Update actions let users make changes to a record. • Log a Call actions let users record the details of phone calls or other customer interactions. These call logs are saved as completed tasks. Object-specific Log a Call actions let users enter notes about calls, meetings, or other interactions that are related to a specific record. • Custom actions invoke Lightning components, flows, Visualforce pages, or canvas apps with functionality that you define. Use a Visualforce page, Lightning component, or a canvas app to create global custom actions for tasks that don’t require users to use records that have a relationship to a specific object. Object-specific custom actions invoke Lightning components, flows, Visualforce pages, or canvas apps that let users interact with or create records that have a relationship to an object record. 1 Quick Actions • Object-specific Send Email actions, available only on cases, give users access to a simplified version of the Case Feed Email action in the Salesforce mobile app. You can use the case-specific Send Email action in Salesforce Classic, Lightning Experience, and the Salesforce mobile app. • Global Send Email actions are supported only in Lightning Experience. You can’t add them to the Cases layout or use them with cases. • Question actions enable users to ask and search for questions about the records that they’re working with. For create, Log a Call, and custom actions, you can create either object-specific actions or global actions. Update actions must be object-specific. 2 DEFAULT ACTIONS Default actions are sets of predefined actions to get you and your users started using actions in EDITIONS your org. Add default actions to publisher layouts to make them available to your users in the full Salesforce site and the action bar in the Salesforce mobile app. Available in: both Salesforce Each default action has a predefined set of fields. Use the page layout editor or global publisher Classic (not available in all layout to remove actions or to change the order in which the actions appear.

  • Dutch-Australian Genealogy Group
    DUTCH-AUSTRALIAN GENEALOGY GROUP NEWSLETTER February 2021 Hello Everybody Welcome to the Newsletter of the Dutch Australian Genealogy Group for February 2021 Unfortunately, we had to cancel the meeting once again for February, but there is some light at the end of the tunnel. We have had a generous offer from Gerry Smolders, President of the Dutch Club-Neerlandia, who has thrown us a lifeline and has offered us the use of their premises for our meetings untill we can meet at The Abel Tasman Village again. Club Neerlandia is in Frenchs Forest and I am aware that this may be a long way to travel for some of us, so please let me know if this is feasible for you, as it will not be much of a meeting if Kim and I am the only ones there. Even with the welcome rollout of the vaccine, I feel it will be sometime before life goes back to normal and social distancing is a thing of the past. ................................................................................... A FEW DAYS AGO, I HAD ONE OF THOSE DAYS. YOU KNOW THOSE DAYS. Amy Johnson Crow I woke up feeling alright, grabbed my coffee, and sat down to dive into my research. Nope. My laptop wouldn’t turn on, and everything I did to try to fix it just didn’t work. That meant a call to technical support, which even for the most tech-savvy can have you nervous and frustrated. We went through the usual process, and it became apparent that my computer was just… dead. My mind took me into immediate panic mode, "When did I last back up my hard drive? What about all the research I’ve been working on?" and of course - all the work I had been doing on my podcast for the week.
