#List Views0 discussing

Good morning!

I was trying to create an action to put on the list view of Accounts, in order to create a new account with a layout showing a few fields. I came to realize that when creating an action which creates a new record, by default it behaves as 'create new child record' so you can only use it when selecting an account on the list view and then clicking the button (otherwise you get an error message). Salesforce support confirmed this is works as designed.

Now my question is: how do I create an action/button that does what I'm looking for? I created a global action to do this from the record page but I want to put one on the list view as well.

    Any OOTB solutions to it? All I can think about is overriding the custom quick action. But nothing from the Standard functionality side.

I need to remove "Change Owner" button for list view of a custom object for some specific profiles (and not all profiles). I tried the solution here, https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/298187/how-can-i-remove-change-owner-button-from-a-list-view-in-salesforce

but in lightning, the edit button doesn't show. and the classic solution takes it away for all profiles.

 

Any suggestions.

    Hi Aryan Sharma, 

     

    To remove the

    “Change Owner” button from the list view of a custom object for specific profiles:

    1. Go to SetupProfiles.
    2. Select the Profile you want to modify.
    3. Under System Permissions, uncheck Transfer Record and Modify All Data.
    4. Scroll to Object Settings → [Your Custom Object] → Edit, and uncheck Modify All.
    5. Save the changes.

    Additionally, check any Permission Sets assigned to the user. Ensure they don't have Transfer Record or Modify All permissions.

    If the user owns the record, Salesforce will still show "Change Owner" regardless of permissions. only the record owner but not the other profile user records.

I want to order my Custom Object Records of dance classes in a course in ascending order. Each class in the course is numbered, 1 through 12.

 

When I select to sort the List View, it puts classes number 10, 11 and 12 before class number 2. (see attached screenshot)

 

List View Sort Order for numbers

 

This help article suggests to change the Field Type to Numbers for correct sorting. I could change it to only the number of the class, as other information (course and dance school) is found in other Fields. However, this is important contextual information I would like to always have at hand when referencing each of these classes in e.g. Reports. 

 

I would therefore humbly ask if you awesome Trailblazers out there have another idea for a workaround this. 

 

I much appreciate your time in reading this question, and thank you in advance for any ideas you may have

    Hi @Sebastian Sonesten,

     

    Add a leading 0 to each of the single digits class names - ‘01 UDC Rudea de Casinno VT 23’, ‘02 UDC Rudea de Casinno VT 23’, etc.

     

    Example: Hi , Add a leading 0 to each of the single digits class names - ‘01 UDC Rudea de Casinno VT 23’, ‘02 UDC Rudea de Casinno VT 23’, etc.

Would be a great feature if related object fields could be surfaced in List Views without the need for duplicating as formula fields. Could this be considered for a future List View enhancement?

    Hi @Stuart Gare - great suggestion! This is on our radar but not on our roadmap for this year. We're focused on modernizing list views on Lightning Web Components and then delivering on the top 3 idea exchange items: default sort, multi column sort, and inline edit for list views.

     

    We will take this into consideration for the future and I agree with Nisar to upvote the idea exchange post for cross object fields!

I work at a recruitment company and often contacts are responsible for several companies/locations. (Accounts)  

 

The problem is that when I create a listview in contacts using filters I can only filtert based on the (main) account. The companies that the contact is also in a relationship with are not included when I make the view.  

 

We first came up with the idea to make a list in reports based on relationships, but then you can't send a list e-mail. (so far i know)  

 

Does anyone have an idea how I could email everyone in relation to certain accounts?

I'm trying to clean up the list views so my sales users have a clean experience, and my support users still have access to everything they need. I've shared list views with the support group (tried both by public group and by profile), but the list views still show up for the sales users. I'm stumped - any ideas?

    Hello @Melissa Morse

     

    I have two ideas that could be the problem.

     

    Enabling 'Grant Access Using Hierarchies' may grant a user's manager access to list views that are intended to be shared exclusively with a specific Public Group and not beyond it.

     

    Sharing a list view with any group, regardless of its membership status, makes that view public. Consequently, users with the 'Manage Public List Views' permission will be able to see it.

We are trying to Create a Case List View that will show a user which cases they need to approve.

This can include cases assigned to them or cases they are a part of an Approval Queue.

 

I can't find a good filter or field that will do this out of the box.

 

Any suggestions?

    @Michael Faber i am trying a way out.. but before i figure out the solution.. can you share how many approval queues you have?

     

    the though process is

     

    1. You can have a record submission action in the approval process which will populate Approver's Name into a custom field in case object. Approver name can be User or queue as desired.

    2. We then create List Views based on every approval queue you have so that records fall into specific list views display accordingly

Hi,

I am getting this error when I try to hit the button for inline editing in the Task List View. I had been using Record Types for Tasks but deleted the records types. Now there are no record types being used on the Task Object. How do I get rid of this error?

    Hi @Jenna Weltz,

     

    1. f an object's record types are all in "Inactive" status, inline editing won’t work for the affected records. To resolve this issue:
    • Delete all inactive record types for that object
    • Update your record types so that there is at least one active record type                      

    Note: This 'active' record type doesn’t need to be assigned to any profiles. 

     

    • After this is done, add the list view filter "Record Type EQUALS <blank>" 

    For more details pls check

Hey, so for some weird reason, I can't seem to locate the button on the Tasks list views that allows me to create a custom list view for the Task object, the way other objects do and I don't know why.
