    Hi, I’d definitely recommend K2U (formerly Focus on Force) platform. It combines focused study guides with realistic, scenario-based practice exams and detailed explanations, so you can prepare much more efficiently.

Hello Trailblazers,

We PDF files attached to one of our objects that we need exported frequently. I have only been able to use the Data Export to download all of files but I am not able to find the ones I need. I also used Data Loader but again, I am not able to effectively filter for the files related to a specific object or owned, or created by a specific user. I appreciate hearing about your experience or insight on this.

Thanks,

Kharaam

    Hi Kharaam, per this help article, in order to successfully export or query all Content Documents and Files in the org, the permission 'Query All Files' must first be enabled. Once this is enabled you can use Data Loader to export files via the Content Document object. 

     

    Note: You'll need to manipulate the exported data to be able to download the files. Here's a YouTube video for one approach that doesn't seem too difficult.

Security Center Essentials is available, and here’s a practical way to use it this week.Security Center Essentials is available, and here’s a practical way to use it this week.Start with two questions: What should be in my environment? And what changed recently?Start with two questions: What should be in my environment? And what changed recently? Review connected apps, managed packages, access points, and recent configuration changes. Make sure you know what they’re for, who owns them, and whether the changes were expected.

 

Then make that review part of your regular operating rhythm, whether that’s around deployments or in a monthly governance check-in.

 

That’s what Sabrina Simeroth and I dig into on this week’s Salesforce Admins Podcast, along with Health Check, security baselines, and when it may be time to move beyond Essentials.

    Hi @Michael Gerholdt

     

    Great insights! I really like the focus on asking β€œWhat should be in my environment?” and β€œWhat has changed recently?” Security Center Essentials gives admins a practical way to establish a baseline and proactively identify unexpected changes.  

     

    Thanks for sharing!

We use picklists a lot  they provide consistency for reporting and reduce clicks.  However, we have some piclists that have constantly changing values.  For example, on our custom demo request object we have a picklist to select the demo unit being requested.  We get frequent requests from the business to deactivate values (taking a unit out of rotation for maintenance or repairs, or retiring it), renaming units, adding new units, etc.   

 

We do releases every 2 weeks, so that can mean that sometimes their changes have to wait longer than they would like, and its also just a lot of piddly maintenance for us.   

 

Is there a way to give a group of users a way to maintain the picklist values?  I know I can give them delegated administration rights to a custom object, but that gives them rights to everything and we really want to restrict it to just the picklist values for particular fields.  We have multiple business units sharing the same org, so there are a lot of record types, etc and it just seems risky to give product managers or other business users admin rights - too easy for them to inadvertently change something and cause a domino effect.  Our org is also almost 20 yrs old, so there's a lot of complexity and historical development that adds to the risk.   

 

Without having to write and maintain a bunch of code, has anyone found a solution to a problem like this?  An app exchange app or some custom declarative development you've done to tackle a similar problem?
