Hello, 

I am the sys admin and need to update product records.  I've noticed almost every other object has the pencils next to each field for editing.  Products do not.  I have to click the edit button, opens a edit screen, then save.   

I have forgotten how to adjust this, and not finding anything helpful so far.

I'm currently facing an issue with displaying a Lightning Web Component (LWC) quick action button on the Task record page.

Here are the details of what I've done:

 

1. LWC Quick Action Creation:

  • I have created a Lightning Web Component for a quick action under the Task object.
  • I updated the XML as shown below:

<LightningComponentBundle xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">

    <apiVersion>57.0</apiVersion>

    <isExposed>true</isExposed>

    <targets>

        <target>lightning__RecordAction</target>

    </targets>

    <targetConfigs>

        <targetConfig targets="lightning__RecordAction">

            <actionType>ScreenAction</actionType>

        </targetConfig>

    </targetConfigs>

</LightningComponentBundle>

 

2. Page Layout Configuration:

  1. I have added the button to the page layout under "Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions."

Despite following these steps, the quick action button is not visible on the Task record page. I have ensured that the action is available in the "Lightning and Mobile Actions" section of the page layout.

Can anyone help me identify what might be causing this issue or suggest any additional steps to troubleshoot? Your assistance is highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

    I had a similar problem, and found a solution for my case:

    In Service Setup > Channels > Digital Experiences > Settings, make sure the "Use Lightning web components on your record pages in Aura sites" option under "Experience Management Settings" is checked.

Ever find yourself clearing your cache way too often for just one Salesforce page layout you're updating?

 

Same. But guess what? I recently learned about a game-changer: the hard refresh—it’s like a cache cleanse on steroids.

 

If you’re using Firefox or Chrome, just hold Shift and click the refresh button. Boom, done.

 

Or, if you’re feeling fancy, here’s the keyboard shortcut cheat sheet:

Windows:

Chrome: Ctrl + F5 or Shift + F5

Edge: Ctrl + F5 or Shift + F5

Firefox: Ctrl + F5 or Shift + F5

Opera: Ctrl + F5 or Shift + F5

Mac:

Chrome: Cmd + Shift + R

Safari: Cmd + Option + R

Firefox: Cmd + Shift + R

Opera: Cmd + Shift + R

 

This little trick might just save you a lifetime of frustration (or at least a few hours). You’re welcome.

How do we edit the task Type options that show up in this arrow button in the activity timeline? (I'm on a Lightning account page, for reference.) We recently updated our task Type picklist options but those changes are not reflected here, so I must need to update them manually, but I can't find where/how!

    @Chloe Orcher Yes I figured it out! Go to Accounts in the object manager, and select the “Buttons, Links, and Actions” page. In there, click on the New Action button in the upper right.

     

    My use case was that I wanted it to create a task, so if it’s the same for you, you’ll set the Action Type to “Create a Record” and the Target Object to “Task.” From there you’ll fill out what you want the label and name to be. After you click Save, you’ll also be able to set up the layout and choose which fields you want to be visible and/or required. Yes I figured it out! Go to Accounts in the object manager, and select the “Buttons, Links, and Actions” page. In there, click on the New Action button in the upper right.

    To add it to the dropdown on your page layout: go to account Page Layouts and open the layout you want to add it to. Select the “Mobile & Lightning Options” category and then you’ll be able to drag and drop the New Action you created into the Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions section of the page. (You can also remove Actions from the layout by removing them from that section too.)Screenshot 2024-08-02 at 10.23.01 AM.png

Is there a way to apply a conditional filter to individual tabs on a lightning page?  So the rest of the layout remains the same, but only if it is a specific record type will this tab appear.  I know I can put it in as a section on one of the other tabs and conditionally view it there, but we really want it as its own tab...

Design for User Success: Field Placement

A new series starts today that goes along with my recent presentations at user groups and events. Freebie’s donning his bohemian look and sitting down at the drafting table to discuss design, art, composition, graphics, and more. Step One is to think about where you place fields on your pages. Don’t just fill a page layout based on the order the fields came together. Consider where your users are looking, how they go about their day, and what they need to do at any given time. Your colleagues will thank you!

    I loved the article.  It's a common pain and it goes right to the point.

     

    @Michael Kolodner, one step I would add is to perform data profiling of the key objects across different life cycle stages.  This way, what fields are being populated when.

     

    For transactional objects (opportunities, Cases, etc.), I look at data profiling statistics to identify what's populated (without 100% default values) across stages.

     

    For Accounts, Contacts, and Leads, I look at when a record is first created (no update date) and also leverage roll-up fields to correlate their content to associated transactions to identify what's created when an Opportunity is newly created vs. in late-stage, or when a Case is created.  This helps me think about contextual data capture.

     

    Just a few thoughts to further augment this great guide.  Keep them coming.

We have a contact field on the Opportunity - it gives you an option to create a new contact and I want to edit those fields on that page. Not sure how to get to that portion?  #Salesforce Admin #Pagelayouts

Hello everyone,

I know on the first look this seems like an issue which should be doable via the dynamic forms on Lightning Record pages. However, sadly this is not the case for my Problem.

The Problem itself occurs in the Financial Services Cloud. This cloud has a specific component to show insurance policies on the Account (It works like a normal related list but with additional features) This feature takes the actions it provides to users from the Lightning Actions which are defined in the respective page layout.

Now to the actual Problem: We would like to have a specific action available in this component but not on the normal mobile page for insurance policies. So far I have sadly not found a way to separate this.

 

This is the Action we want to have: (Please don't mind the partially German interface)Separate Page Layouts for Mobile and Desktop due to Lightning Actions (SF-FSC)

This is the Action I don't want to see:

    @Manoj Nambirajan Sadly I don't think that this will use my actual issue. Even if I include a filter based on device, I need to use the Lightning Actions in the the Page Layout. Reason for this is that I can only define the actions in the component on the Account via the Lightning Actions on the Insurance Policy Page Layout. (It sounds crazy, but sadly this seems to be the way it works)

    And as far as I see it those Lightning Actions don't care for dynamic forms and just show up on the mobile layout anyway.
