Login Enhancements for Microsoft
Your users can now access your Salesforce org or Experience Cloud site with their Microsoft credentials. This will make logging in a breeze for your employees and customers.
Picklist Updates
Bulk Manage Picklist Values
Configuring picklists just got easier! With this addition, you now have the ability to delete, activate, deactivate, or replace multiple custom picklist field values all at once rather than going through them one by one. Make sure to opt into Advanced Picklist Values Management (beta) from the Picklist Settings page in Setup to use this feature.
Inactive and Duplicate Picklist Values Cleanup
You can now bulk delete inactive picklist values in custom picklist fields. You can also see which picklist values are duplicates with the duplicate value error message.
Customize and Filter Related Lists in the Lightning App Builder
Salesforce has brought us a brand-new component for Lightning pages. With Dynamic Related Lists, you can now create custom related lists that can be filtered to display only when particular criteria are met. You can also give your Dynamic Related List a useful label, so your users understand what filters have been applied.
Reports and Dashboards
Summary Functions Now Include Median
Reporting on the statistics that are important to your organization just got easier. When summarizing fields, you can now select the median function.
Create Reports Based on Selected Salesforce Objects
Instead of scrolling through report types you don’t need, you can now filter the report types list in the Create Report window to show only the report types based on the Salesforce objects you select.
Flow Updates
With Workflow Rules and Process Builder going through a phased retirement, there are a number of new updates to Flow Builder. Review the Flow and Process Release Updates for the complete list of new features.
Screen Flows
Visual tools are a game-changer when it comes to creating a smooth user experience. You can now add section headers to give collapsible sections their own header.
Screen Flows now support more fields, such as Name and Address fields. What’s even more exciting is that Autocomplete is available for Address record fields, so creating those screen flows will be a breeze.
Formula Entry Conditions for Record-Triggered Flow
Salesforce is introducing the ability to trigger a flow based on a formula. If a formula evaluates to true, the flow will run. If not, it won’t be triggered. This new feature will help minimize unnecessary flow executions.
Please note that with any new enhancement, it’s best practice to test the new features in a sandbox environment first. Each Salesforce release is made possible by ideas submitted by users through the Salesforce Idea Exchange. You and your organization can make a difference by engaging in the Idea Exchange!
