Business transformation is an ongoing journey that accelerated during the past year and has continued. As part of this change, businesses are undergoing rapid digital transformation to innovate and gain competitive advantage. Salesforce reports, “Today, 96% of global organizations have undertaken a digital transformation or are planning to in the coming months.”
“With digital transformation, companies are taking a step back and revisiting everything they do, from internal systems to customer interactions both online and in person. They’re asking big questions like ‘Can we change our processes in a way that will enable better decision-making, game-changing efficiencies, or a better customer experience with more personalization?’” explains the Salesforce report.
With our new e-Book series, Essential Guides for Business Transformation, we continue to deliver on that mission. These exclusive, free downloadable guides offer insights for a number of important business functions, helping achieve meaningful business transformation and continuous improvement. Learn more.

Starting with the June 2021 release of version 11.6, a new Lightning Gantt chart is available with enhanced inline functionality, which includes updating Task Percentage and viewing record details on hover.
100% Salesforce native and easily customizable, Milestones PM+ is a free AppExchange app for all Salesforce clouds (Professional and up) with complete org access to qualified customers. Instant 360-degree visibility to programs, projects, milestones, tasks, time, risks and issues, and resources provides better project management right in your CRM.
Rollup Helper updates include a Use Case Deployment, which is available in version 16.8. Now you can easily access Use Case Deployment from the main tile page, check out approximately 25 use cases, and then select the ones you’d like to deploy.
The use case deployment functionality allows for prebuilt rollups to be deployed without having to go through the usual configuration steps. Here’s how it works:
Click “Deploy” on any use case for easy, one-click deployment. Note: some rollups come with filters that can be customized.
With Rollup Helper, you can super-charge your org with capabilities that normally require extensive coding. Rollup Helper overcomes common Salesforce rollup limitations like needing a Master-Detail relationship or the inability to include cross-object formula fields in rollup summary filters. Use Rollup Helper to build mission critical reports and trigger intelligent data-driven workflows.
New Parent Filtering functionality has been added to Lookup Helper (v9.20), which allows additional criteria to be created for a parent record. By default, Lookup Helper matches the value of the two selected fields for the setting, so Parent Filters allow you to add additional values the parent record needs to match.
For example (image below), a parent filter using Country = “US” would mean the child record will look for a parent record that matches the field and has a Country field set to “US.”
Lookup Helper gives you better visibility and insights to your Salesforce data by automatically relating records. For standard and custom objects, it allows you to organize your data by geographic location, time-frame, industry, or any other data category.
The latest Prioritization Helper release v4.02 features new functionality for Value Scoring, which includes the ability to create batch run schedules. Performance and Usability Improvements for Value Scoring also include adding a setting modal that’s accessible from the main Value Scoring tab.
The image below shows how to configure scheduled recurring batch runs for an Apex Value Scoring entry.
When it comes to decision making, obstacles can get in the way of rational reasoning. Prioritization Helper is a tool to help enable your critical business decisions. Prioritization Helper empowers teams to reach a consensus, or prioritize their objectives in order of importance while understanding how a decision was made.
“You tend to take the little things for granted and just pass over them through your jam packed day. Then you see something added to a process that you've been using and realize how valuable and impactful that little change has made...The rollup group view is a game changer. When you have 100+ rollups across multiple objects in your org, having that group view makes my day just a little easier.”—Kim Wargo, Associate Vice President/Salesforce Certified Admin FineMark National Bank
“If you are unsure of how a change to be made will impact your organization it's best to first make those changes in a sandbox org and test all areas of functionality impacted by your change.”—Shawn Hepker, Passage Technology
