Has this been addressed? I would also like to be able to reorder how the widgets appear in the email subscription for my dashboard. I want to make the email presentation more logical and show the charts that are in the dashboard in the same order in the email.
I am currently using a service that pulls data from PostgreSQL into Google Sheets and an add-on that uploads from Sheets to Salesforce. My goal is to automate this and cutting out steps would be helpful. That being said, bonus points for a service that offers scheduled moves. :D
We've used Skyvia (https://skyvia.com/data-integration/integrate-salesforce-postgresql) for a similar setup because it supports both PostgreSQL and Salesforce, can run scheduled synchronizations, and handles bi-directional syncs without needing Sheets as a middle layer. Once it was set up, the scheduled jobs were pretty much hands-off.
If you have more complex transformation requirements, tools like Talend or Informatica are also worth a look, but for straightforward scheduled syncs between PostgreSQL and Salesforce, they may be more than you need.
I am trying to pull an activities report based on events. I can all of the standard fields as well as my custom fields. But I can't seem to pull in "attendees" into a report. Any help would be appreciated.

Tom Bassett (Vera Solutions)If you want additional reporting options I believe you will need to create roles.
In my Developer Org I have more options as I have some roles setup
Thanks, Tom
Formula fields that include related object merge fields are also not allowed in roll-up summary fields. When you refer to a roll-up summary field in a list view or report, you can't use certain qualifiers, including: Starts with. Contains.
The types of fields you can calculate in a roll-up summary field depend on the type of calculation. For example,
: Number, currency, and percent fields are available when you select SUM as the roll-up type.
: Number, currency, percent, date, and date/time fields are available when you select MIN or MAX as the roll-up type.

If it is true that both Person and Business Accounts share the same set of fields (ignoring for now how Contact fields are combined with Person Accounts), some of the "advantages" of using Person Accounts seem to be unclear. Essentially one has to strip out many irrelevant fields for layouts a user will see when dealing with either Account type.
So if you have person accounts, how do you know when to use an account field last_activity__c vs a personcontact_last_activity__pc field on a record page?
For example, on a person account record, how do you know which of these fields to use?
I need to implement Opportunity Splits to our existing instance that splits has never been used. I was able to successfully do it in my Sandbox but I have tried twice now in production and get this error message: "The script enabling opportunity splits was unsuccessful. To properly revert your organization, please contact customer support via the salesforce.com Help and Training portal." I have submitted a ticket and I haven't heard anything back from SFDC. I'm scouring the internet and can't find anything about this. Has anyone ran into this before?
Same issue here. There is a clause in the opportunity split config screen about "Check for Mass Operations". This suggests that automation pertaining to Opportunity may need to be disabled before proceeding with this action. I am going to try that and report back.
Update: I applied the permission set to my own user, but it is possible that Salesforce is using the system user to do this. I will try applying this permission set to the system user and try again.
I am getting an error :'Can’t resolve merge fields Review the quick text merge fields for errors or try inserting them again.'
I am not to figure out why, I get these even if I am using the fields from drop-down menu.
The quick text folder is shared with me. The field I am trying to use the quick text on is on the event object and the merge fields are Lead fields related to the event.
I am unable to resolve the issue through debug logs as well so I am at a dead-end here. Any inputs would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi,
Same issue here,
User can see the quick text but can't use it and it displays the merge fields error
To fix : manually share the quick text with the user.
Opportunity Recycler - Now Available Free on the Salesforce AppExchange
With a bit of nostalgia, 15 years after my original posting on the Trailblazer Community, I am pleased to share a new free app on the AppExchange: Opportunity Recycler.
Over my years of working with Salesforce in various organizations, I’ve seen a need for a better way to handle Opportunities that are temporarily lost due to reasons related to customer purchase timing.
If you think this might be a solution that could benefit your organization, please take a look.
Trying to lean salesforce here :)
Thanks
Hello,
Self Service Portal (SSP) has been deprecated and was replaced by Customer Portal for newer orgs. However, both are now considered legacy, and Salesforce currently recommends
Experience Cloud for self-registration and customer portal needs. Licensing is still required, with different options based on access and usage.Please advise....
