SALESFORCE SUMMER ’15 RELEASE NOTES

Summer ’15 turns your reps into their own marketers with detailed activity tracking and tailored campaigns. You can easily preview
dynamic and personalized emails directly from Sales Cloud and Service Cloud. In the call center, you can deliver smarter service by
pushing the right cases to the right agents at the right time. And much more!

IN THIS SECTION:
How to Use the Release Notes
The release notes give you brief, high-level descriptions of new Salesforce features and enhancements to existing features. You also
get setup information, implementation tips to help you get started, and best practices to ensure your continued success.
How and When Do Features Become Available?
Some features in Summer ’15 affect all users immediately after the release goes live. You may want to communicate these changes
to your users beforehand so they are prepared. Other features require direct action by an administrator before users can benefit from
the new functionality.
Salesforce Overall: Easier Setup and Data Import
The new Setup Assistant makes it easier than ever to put Salesforce to work for your users. You can also import data more easily,
and you can do it from a Mac. And it's easier than ever to find the information you need in the Release Notes.
Analytics: More Value From Your Data, Fast
Wave, the Salesforce Analytics Cloud, enables everyone in your organization to get immediate access to powerful data insights
through its intuitive point-and-click visual interface. Whether you’re on a desktop browser or an iOS mobile device—even the new
Apple Watch™—you can get the answers you need from your data to run your business. Our latest round of features and enhancements
makes it even easier to get value out of your data, fast.
Mobile: Do More on the Go
For the Salesforce1 app, Summer ’15 is primarily focused on improving your sales reps’ mobile experience through performance
and trust improvements. There are other goodies for your users too, like streamlining workflow with a rich-text note-taking tool
(beta). Or growing revenue pipelines by converting qualified leads to contacts, complete with the ability to create new accounts as
part of the process (now generally available). And to help empower your users to do what’s needed in the field, you can now
customize the selection and arrangement of actions in the Salesforce1 action bar. Summer ’15 also marks the removal of the Chatter
Mobile app from Google Play and the end of support for the Mobile Dashboards for iPad app.
Communities: New Community Management Options, Community Case Feed
Summer ‘15 brings you enhancements to community analytics, improved Community Management tools, the ability to edit your
conversations, associating records to groups, development of our self-service templates with a brand new case feed built on Chatter,
and much more.
Sales: Enterprise Territory Management, Forecasts, and More
Easily assign territories to opportunities, give sales teams a clearer view of monthly and quarterly total sales numbers, and learn
about our latest email integration developments.
Work.com: Enhanced Goals, More Thanks and Skills Features
Help your sales managers and teams learn faster and perform better with a suite of sales-management and service-management
tools that boost performance. We’ve introduced more Thanks and Skills features, along with the Enhanced Feedback and Enhanced
Performance Summaries pilot features. We’re also bringing Enhanced Goals to all Work.com users.

Watch™—you can get the answers you need from your data to run your business. Our latest round of features and enhancements makes
it even easier to get value out of your data, fast.

How and When Mobile Features Become Available

For the Salesforce1 app, Summer ’15 is primarily focused on improving your sales reps’ mobile experience through performance and
trust improvements. There are other goodies for your users too, like streamlining workflow with a rich-text note-taking tool (beta). Or
growing revenue pipelines by converting qualified leads to contacts, complete with the ability to create new accounts as part of the
process (now generally available). And to help empower your users to do what’s needed in the field, you can now customize the selection
and arrangement of actions in the Salesforce1 action bar. Summer ’15 also marks the removal of the Chatter Mobile app from Google
Play and the end of support for the Mobile Dashboards for iPad app.

Salesforce Overall: Easier Setup and Data Import

The new Setup Assistant makes it easier than ever to put Salesforce to work for your users. You can also import data more easily, and
you can do it from a Mac. And it's easier than ever to find the information you need in the Release Notes.

IN THIS SECTION:
Release Notes Usability Improvements
We’ve added filters to the release notes so you can zero in on the news that matters most. Instead of scrolling through screen after
screen, now you can get right to the release notes that affect you.
Get More Relevant Search Results
We’ve improved the way the search engine stores your org’s information and matches it to your users’ search terms. The search
engine’s more precise matching rules make it easier for your users to find the information they’re looking for when they search for
terms that include punctuation, such as website addresses and file paths.
Setup Assistant for Newly Activated Organizations
If you’re planning to set up Salesforce without consulting an implementation partner, Setup Assistant is here to help. Its wizards and
targeted assistance help you complete basic configurations and get critical sales data into Salesforce, so you can get your sales teams
up and running quickly.
Updated Link Behavior for the Data Import Wizard
We’ve updated the Data Import Wizard user interface to ensure that your data import experience is seamless.
Data Loader for Mac
The Data Loader, an easy-to-use graphical tool that helps you import, export, update, and delete Salesforce data, is now available
for Mac OS X.
Supported Browsers
Support for Microsoft® Internet Explorer® versions 7 and 8 is discontinued as of Summer ’15. Salesforce Customer Support will not
investigate issues related to Internet Explorer 7 and 8 after this date.

searching to browsing, use the new filters to further narrow down your search results.
Visual Enhancements to the HTML Release Notes
We’ve made a few changes to the HTML release notes. We updated the look-and-feel and added the ability to change the language
that you’re reading in.

The new filters narrow down the list of release notes on the right side of your screen, never the content on the left. If you prefer searching
to browsing, use the new filters to further narrow down your search results.
Edition
Which of the feature enhancements for Summer ’15 are available to you depends on your edition. Narrow down the list of release
notes so it shows only enhancements that are available in your edition.
Feature Impact
Every release includes some features that you need to turn on or configure before users can start getting the benefits. As an
administrator, you can now filter the release notes to focus on, or hide, just those features. Or maybe you want to see only the features
that are enabled for your users automatically.
Product Area
Narrow down the list of release notes to see only the products that your organization uses. If your organization does sales but not
support, set up your release notes so that only the sales-related news appears.
To narrow down the list of release notes, click Show Filters on the right side of the screen.

Visual Enhancements to the HTML Release Notes

We’ve made a few changes to the HTML release notes. We updated the look-and-feel and added the ability to change the language
that you’re reading in.
Updated Skin
We updated the HTML release notes to reflect our updated look.
Relocated and Contextualized the List of Release Notes
We moved the list of release notes from the left side of the screen to the right, so you can focus on the content of the release notes.
Because the list of release notes is contained in a smaller box, you always know where in the list you are. The release note that you’re
currently viewing is always visible; more often than not, it’s at the top of the list.

Select the Language You Want to Read

By default, your browser’s language settings determine the language we show you in the HTML release notes. Now you can easily
change the language that you’re viewing the release notes in. Scroll to the footer at the bottom of the page, click Change Language,
and select a language.
Before Summer ’15, the only way to view the release notes in a different language was to manually change the language key in the
URL. For example, if you were viewing the release notes in German and wanted to view them in English, you’d change de-de in
the URL to en-us.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Get More Relevant Search Results

Get More Relevant Search Results

We’ve improved the way the search engine stores your org’s information and matches it to your
EDITIONS
users’ search terms. The search engine’s more precise matching rules make it easier for your users
to find the information they’re looking for when they search for terms that include punctuation, Available in all editions
such as website addresses and file paths.
Typically, the search engine ignores certain punctuation symbols from both the search index and
the search term used to search. In most cases, ignoring punctuation symbols returns the most meaningful results, and your users are
able to find the information they’re looking for. However, in some instances, removing punctuation symbols returns irrelevant results.
The search engine now handles punctuation differently in instances when doing so gives your users more relevant results.

Example: When users search for the following terms, they could find records with these corresponding terms in the results.

Search Term Results Added Results Removed

SKU-A1B1 a1b1 skua

acme.com www.acme.com No results

sysmail.xml z:\app/sysmail.xml zapp

sysmailxm

These improvements are available on a rolling basis, after Summer ’15 is released, and before the Winter ’16 release is rolled out.

IN THIS SECTION:
Get Better Search Results in Japanese
When users search for a term in Japanese Hiragana, they can now find corresponding matching search results in Japanese Katakana,
and vice versa. The search engine recognizes the two scripts as interchangeable.

Get Better Search Results in Japanese

When users search for a term in Japanese Hiragana, they can now find corresponding matching

search results in Japanese Katakana, and vice versa. The search engine recognizes the two scripts

Example: When users enter the search term あいうえお (the first five letters of the

action on insights gained through Wave. To use Analytics Cloud
collaborative features:
• “Use Analytics Cloud”
IN THIS SECTION:
Add a Dashboard to a Visualforce Page
By embedding an Analytics Cloud dashboard into a Visualforce page, users can drill down and explore the data that’s presented,
either within the frame on the Visualforce page or by linking to an Analytics Cloud window.
Post Images of Lenses and Dashboards to Chatter
When posting a link to Chatter, you can now include a snapshot of your lens, dashboard, or app’s icon in the post.
Add Custom Menus to Create Salesforce Actions and Link to Records from Dashboards and Lenses
Wave users now have more control over their Salesforce experience through custom menus you add to charts and tables that can
take advantage of both actions and links to Salesforce records.

Add a Dashboard to a Visualforce Page

within the frame on the Visualforce page or by linking to an Analytics Cloud window.

53
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes New in Summer `15 Plus

You can add one dashboard per Visualforce page. However, the dashboard can include links to other dashboards and Analytics Cloud
assets. For more information, see the Visualforce topic in these Release Notes.

Post Images of Lenses and Dashboards to Chatter

When posting a link to Chatter, you can now include a snapshot of your lens, dashboard, or app’s icon in the post.

Click for the share dialog box. Under Post To Feed, you can post an image and a link, or you can remove the image from your
post by hovering over it and clicking the x.

Sharing an image makes it public, but colleagues need access to your lens, dashboard, or app to use the link and explore it in Analytics
Cloud. You can set up levels for sharing access under Give Access.

Add Custom Menus to Create Salesforce Actions and Link to Records from Dashboards and Lenses
Wave users now have more control over their Salesforce experience through custom menus you add to charts and tables that can take
advantage of both actions and links to Salesforce records.
With new custom actions menus, members of your team can use quick actions that have been added to Salesforce objects—directly
from Wave dashboards and lenses. Users can also access records from Salesforce or elsewhere on the Web through the menus. A
developer or administrator on your team adds a dimension section to a dataset’s Extended Metadata (XMD) file to add a custom menu
with actions and links to records to a chart or table. They also need to add an organizations section for links from datasets with records
from multiple Salesforce org instances. For more details about XMD, see the Salesforce Extended Metadata (XMD) Overview.

54
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes New in Summer `15 Plus

Once you’ve added a custom menu, a user hovers over the label or a value in a chart or a table to see if the menu is available and then
clicks to view the menu contents. The user can then use the menu to perform the available actions. Currently, menus only support create
actions (see “Create Object-Specific Quick Actions” in the Salesforce Help). Other actions will be supported in future releases.
As before, menus also support links to records in Salesforce and external websites. Previously, the link functionality only worked on
datasets with records from a single Salesforce org. Now, the new XMD organizations section enables menu links to work with datasets
that span multiple orgs.

Explore Data: Search Dimensions, Filter by Weeks, and Delete Apps

Exploring gets easier with case-insensitive search, additional options for filtering calendar dates,
USER PERMISSIONS
and a new interface for deleting apps.
To explore data:
IN THIS SECTION: • “Use Analytics Cloud”

Search Dimensions with Case-Insensitive, Partial-String Search

With the new search capabilities for dimensions, you can easily find what you need to customize your filters.
Explore Dates by Week and Year-Week
Now you can filter calendar date groups by Week and Year-Week, in addition to the year, quarter, month, and day options.
Delete Unnecessary Apps

characters.

Explore Dates by Week and Year-Week

Now you can filter calendar date groups by Week and Year-Week, in addition to the year, quarter, month, and day options.
Select scale for a date group. You can use date groups filtered by Week or Year-Week in all charts except the Calendar Heat Map.

56
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes New in Summer `15 Plus

Delete Unnecessary Apps

If you have Manager access to an app, you can delete it. Deleting an app permanently removes all of its lenses, dashboards, and datasets
from Analytics Cloud.
1. Open the app, and then click Delete.

Warning: You can’t recover a deleted app.

If applicable, Analytics Cloud lists the lenses and dashboards outside of your app that will be affected. When the datasets belonging
to your app are deleted, any lens or dashboard that references those datasets becomes unusable.

Important: Only lenses and dashboards to which you have access appear in the list. If you don’t have access to them, lenses
and dashboards aren’t listed even though they have references to datasets in your app.

2. Click Delete Asset(s).

Dashboard Builder Enhancements: Improved Widget Appearance and Behavior

Next time you log in to Analytics Cloud, you’ll see updated font and widget appearance. We’ve enhanced the CSS that controls them.

57
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes New in Summer `15 Plus

We’ve updated fonts in the following areas.

• List, Date, Toggle, Scope, Range, Text, Link, and Number widgets
• Dashboard titles
We’ve also updated the CSS in these widgets.
• List and Date widgets now include a down arrow and a different button when they’re in their collapsed state, use a new border
color, and no longer have a background color.
• The Toggle widget and Link button have a new border color and no longer use a background color.
• In the number widget, if Shorten Number is enabled, the suffix appears in half size.

Note: You may need to clear your browser cache for CSS changes to take effect on dashboards.

Unique Range Selector Steps

To fix overall widget behavior, steps that are attached to a range selector can no longer be attached to other widgets.
Previously, creating a step and assigning it to a range selector and other widgets caused the widgets to behave unpredictably. To fix
that, a range selector can now only have its own step. A step that’s attached to a range selector can no longer be attached to any other
widget, and steps that are attached to other widgets can’t be attached to a range selector.

Warning
Indicates that the job was completed, but some rows failed to load. You can click a link to download an error log that provides
details about the failed rows. To ensure data security, only the user who uploads the CSV file can view the related error log.

Shorter Dataset Field Names Recommended

With Summer ’15 Plus, we recommend that field names in datasets use no more than 40 characters. That way, you can reduce the
likelihood of exceeding character limits when you augment datasets.
Long field names increase the likelihood of exceeding character limits when you augment datasets, because names are appended. Field
names longer than 40 characters are currently supported, but we recommend shortening them to avoid issues. Field name character
limits may be changed in a future release.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes New in Summer `15 Plus

Important: This release introduces more robust syntax to prevent errors when executing SAQL code. Some of these changes
may break existing SAQL code. Update existing code to use the new syntax and rules.

IN THIS SECTION:
Maximum Number of Rows Returned Per Query
Each query returns a maximum of 10,000 rows by default.
min() and max() Functions Only Take Measures as Arguments
If you pass a dimension to a SAQL min() or max() function, the code throws an error.
Can’t Have Same Stream on Both Sides of a cogroup
You can’t have the same stream on both sides of a cogroup operation. If you do, the code throws an error.
Can’t Reference a Preprojection ID in a Postprojection order
You can’t reference a preprojection ID in a postprojection order operation. If you do, the code throws an error. (Projection is
another term for a foreach operation.)
Can’t Have Two Consecutive order Statements on the Same Stream
To order a stream by multiple attributes, use a new syntax.
Quotation Mark Rules Applied Consistently
In the previous release, SAQL handled quotation marks inconsistently for projected labels as input for order, filter, group
and alias.
Changes to foreach Statement
The behavior of a foreach operation (also called projection) has changed.
count() Function Takes Grouped Source Stream as an Argument
The count() function operates on streams that were inputs to the group or cogroup statements. It doesn’t operate on the
newly grouped stream or on an ungrouped stream.
SAQL Queries Must Be Compositional
SAQL is compositional—every statement has an input dataset, an operation, and a result dataset, and you can chain statements
together to operate on data sequentially. The order of SAQL statements is enforced according to how the operations in the statements
change the results.
Filtering an Empty Array Returns an Empty Result
When in operates on an empty array in a filter operation, everything is filtered and the results are empty. In the previous
release, the operation didn’t filter anything.
Explicit Stream Assignment Required
You can no longer assign streams to query lines implicitly. Assign streams explicitly.
Out of Order Range Filters Return false
Range filters that are out of order (for example, ["Z" .. "A"]) always evaluate to false.

Maximum Number of Rows Returned Per Query

Each query returns a maximum of 10,000 rows by default.
To set a different value, use the SAQL limit statement.

min() and max() Functions Only Take Measures as Arguments

If you pass a dimension to a SAQL min() or max() function, the code throws an error.

63
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes New in Summer `15 Plus

Important: This change may break existing SAQL code. Update existing code to use this new behavior.

The SAQL in bold is a min() function with a dimension argument. This statement throws an error.
a = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
a1 = group a by (destination);
q = foreach a1 generate destination as destination, min(destination) as minDestination;
limit q 20;

Can’t Have Same Stream on Both Sides of a cogroup

You can’t have the same stream on both sides of a cogroup operation. If you do, the code throws an error.

Important: This change may break existing SAQL code. Update existing code to use this new behavior.

To perform a cogroup operation on the same dataset, you can load the dataset into two different streams.

a = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
b = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
b = cogroup a by ClosedDate, b by CreatedDate;
c = foreach b generate sum(a.Amount) as Amount;

You can also filter the dataset into two different streams:
a = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
a = filter a by "region" in ["West"];
a = filter a by "status" in ["closed"];
b = filter a by "year" in [2014];
c = filter a by "year" in [2015];
d = cogroup b by ("state"), c by ("state");
d = foreach d generate "state" as "state", sum(b.Amount) as "Amount_2014", sum(c.Amount)
as "Amount_2015";

This code throws an error because it performs a cogroup operation on a single stream, a:

a = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
b = cogroup a by ClosedDate, a by CreatedDate;
c = foreach b generate sum(a.Amount) as Amount;

Can’t Reference a Preprojection ID in a Postprojection order

You can’t reference a preprojection ID in a postprojection order operation. If you do, the code throws an error. (Projection is another
term for a foreach operation.)

Important: This change may break existing SAQL code. Update existing code to use this new behavior.

This code throws an error:

q = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
q = group q by 'FirstName';
q = foreach q generate sum('mea_mm10M') as 'sum_mm10M';
q = order q by 'FirstName' desc;

64
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes New in Summer `15 Plus

This code is valid:

q = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
q = group q by 'FirstName';
q = foreach q generate 'FirstName' as 'User_FirstName', sum('mea_mm10M') as 'sum_mm10M';
q = order q by 'User_FirstName' desc;

Can’t Have Two Consecutive order Statements on the Same Stream

To order a stream by multiple attributes, use a new syntax.

Important: This change may break existing SAQL code. Update existing code to use this new behavior.

In the previous release, two consecutive order statements could operate on the same stream:
a = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
b = group a by (year, month);
c = foreach b generate year as year, month as month;
d = order c by year desc;
e = order d by month desc;

That statement order is no longer valid. Rewrite to use this syntax:

a = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
b = group a by (year, month);
c = foreach b generate year as year, month as month;
d = order c by (year desc, month desc);

Quotation Mark Rules Applied Consistently

In the previous release, SAQL handled quotation marks inconsistently for projected labels as input for order, filter, group and
alias.

Important: This change may break existing SAQL code. Update existing code to use this new behavior.

These quotation mark rules are now applied consistently in all cases.
• Strings use double quotation marks.
• Identifiers use single quotation marks or no quotation marks.
This example uses valid syntax:
accounts = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
opps = load "0Fbaa000000002qCAA/0Fcaa000000002WCAQ";
c = group accounts by 'Year', opps by 'Year';
d = foreach c generate opps.Year as 'Year';
e = filter d by Year == "2002";

In the following examples, the code in bold throws an error:

accounts = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
opps = load "0Fbaa000000002qCAA/0Fcaa000000002WCAQ";
c = group accounts by "Year", opps by "Year";

65
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes New in Summer `15 Plus

d = foreach c generate opps.Year as 'Year';

e = filter d by Year == "2002";

accounts = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";

opps = load "0Fbaa000000002qCAA/0Fcaa000000002WCAQ";
c = group accounts by Year, opps by Year;
d = foreach c generate opps."Year" as Year;
e = filter d by Year == "2002";

a = load "0Fbyy000000002qCAA/0Fcuu000000002WCAQ";
a = filter a by "year" == "1970";
a = group a by 'year';
a = foreach a generate 'year', count() as 'count';

a = load "0Fbxx000000002qCCC/0Fcxx000000002WCtr";
a = group a by year;
a = foreach a generate year as "year", count() as "count";

Changes to foreach Statement

The behavior of a foreach operation (also called projection) has changed.

Important: This change may break existing SAQL code. Update existing code to use this new behavior.

Unique Names Required in a Projection

Using a name multiple times in a projection throws an error.
In the previous release, this query produced only the last projected alias in the result set. In this release, the last line is invalid and throws
an error:
l = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
r = load "0Fbyy000000002qCAA/0Fcyy000000002WCAQ";
l = foreach l generate 'value'/'divisor' as 'value' , category as category;
r = foreach r generate 'value'/'divisor' as 'value' , category as category;
cg = cogroup l by category right, r by category;
cg = foreach cg generate r.category as 'category', sum(r.value) as sumrval, sum(l::value)
as sumrval;

Consistent Projection of Constants

In this release, constant projection is consistent between preprojection and postprojection. A foreach operation returns rows based
on filtered dataset size.
For example, this query returns all the rows in the loaded dataset:
q = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
q = foreach q generate 1 as num;

In the previous release, it returned one row.

66
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes New in Summer `15 Plus

count() Function Takes Grouped Source Stream as an Argument

The count() function operates on streams that were inputs to the group or cogroup statements. It doesn’t operate on the
newly grouped stream or on an ungrouped stream.

Important: This change may break existing SAQL code. Update existing code to use this new behavior.

The count() function operates on the stream a that group operated on:
a = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
a1 = group a by (Year);
q = foreach a1 generate count(a) as countYear, count() as count, Year as year;
q = limit q 20;

Note: The source stream argument can be grouped or cogrouped.

In the previous release, you could also pass a1 to count(), but this example now throws an error:
a = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
a1 = group a by (Year);
q = foreach a1 generate count(a1) as countYear, count() as count, Year as year;
q = limit q 20;

Tip: You can still use count() with no arguments on ungrouped data.

SAQL Queries Must Be Compositional

SAQL is compositional—every statement has an input dataset, an operation, and a result dataset, and you can chain statements together
to operate on data sequentially. The order of SAQL statements is enforced according to how the operations in the statements change
the results.

Important: This change may break existing SAQL code. Update existing code to use this new behavior.

The statement order rules are:

• The order of filter and order can be swapped because it doesn’t change the results.
• offset must follow filter and order
• offset must come before limit
• There can be no more than 1 offset statement after a foreach statement.

Filtering an Empty Array Returns an Empty Result

When in operates on an empty array in a filter operation, everything is filtered and the results are empty. In the previous release,
the operation didn’t filter anything.

Important: This change may break existing SAQL code. Update existing code to use this new behavior.

The second statement filters everything and returns empty results:

a = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
a = filter a by Year in [];
c = group a by ('Year', 'Name');
d = foreach c generate 'Name' as 'group::AName', 'Year' as 'group::Year',
sum(accounts::Revenue) as 'sRev';

Explicit Stream Assignment Required

You can no longer assign streams to query lines implicitly. Assign streams explicitly.

Important: This change may break existing SAQL code. Update existing code to use this new behavior.

Assign query lines to a variable. The only exception to this rule is the last line in the query, which doesn’t need to be assigned explicitly.
q = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
q = filter q by OrderDate > \"2015-10-31\" and OrderDate < \"2015-12-31\";
q = foreach q generate OrderDate as od, Amount;
q = order q by Amount desc;
limit q 10;

In the previous release, this query worked to apply an order and limit. In this release, the line in bold throws an error.
q = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
q = filter q by OrderDate > \"2015-10-31\" and OrderDate < \"2015-12-31\";
q = foreach q generate OrderDate as od, Amount;
order q by Amount desc;
limit q 10;

Out of Order Range Filters Return false

Range filters that are out of order (for example, ["Z" .. "A"]) always evaluate to false.

Important: This change may break existing SAQL code. Update existing code to use this new behavior.

In the previous release, if the query had range filters in reverse order, the results were calculated by reversing the parameters. In this
release, the parameters are not reversed. For example, this query used to return dates in range ["20 years ago" ..
"2016-01-11"]. Now it returns empty results.

q = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
q = foreach q generate OrderDate as od, sum(Amount) as sum;
q = filter q by od in ["2016-01-11".."20 years ago"];
q = order q by sum desc;
limit q 10;

This query used to return the letters from A through Z. Now it returns empty results:
a = load "0Fbxx000000002qCAA/0Fcxx000000002WCAQ";
a1 = group a by dest;
a2 = foreach a1 generate dest as dest;
a2 = filter a2 by dest in ["Z" .. "A"];
limit a2 10;

Augment Transformation Offers More Support for Multiple Matches

Control the augment transformation’s behavior in a new way when it encounters multiple matches. Previously, Analytics Cloud returned
results from all matched rows. Now, the augment transformation can return results from one of the matched rows—which is the new
default behavior—or from all matched rows.
For each record in the left dataset, the augment transformation performs a lookup to find a matching record in the right dataset. If the
left dataset has a one-to-many relationship with the right dataset, Analytics Cloud might find multiple matches for a left record. How
Analytics Cloud handles multiple matches depends on the specified augment operation. You can specify the LookupSingleValue
or LookupMultiValue operation in the augment transformation. If you don’t specify an operation, Analytics Cloud treats the
augment as if you specified the LookupSingleValue operation.

Note: The default behavior changes in this release. Analytics Cloud might produce different results based on the new default
behavior. To revert back to the default behavior of the previous release, set the operation to LookupMultiValue.

LookupSingleValue Operation
Use the LookupSingleValue operation to force the augment transformation to return results from a single row when multiple
matches are found. Analytics Cloud randomly selects one row from the list of matched rows.

Note: Each time you run the dataflow, Analytics Cloud can return a different result depending on the returned row.

For example, you apply the augment transformation on the following datasets, set the relationship to "Price," and match them based
on the Id and ProdId fields.

75
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Integrate Data: Preview Metadata and Delete Datasets

Although there are multiple rows for Prod3, Analytics Cloud randomly chooses one matching row and returns values based on that row.
Here’s the resulting dataset after the augment if Analytics Cloud chooses the first Prod3 row.

LookupMultiValue Operation
Use the LookupMultiValue operation to force the augment transformation to return results from all matching rows when multiple
matches are found. When multiple matches are found, Analytics Cloud creates multiple dimension values and sums measure values in
the resulting dataset record. For example, you apply the augment transformation on the following datasets, set the relationship to "Price,"
and match them based on the Id and ProdId fields.

Because the lookup returns multiple rows for Prod3, the Price.Pricebook field in the resulting dataset appears twice, once for
each match. The measure field Price.UnitPrice contains 1500, which is the sum of 800 and 700. Here’s the resulting dataset
after the augment.

Operation Example
You specify the operation in the augment transformation as shown in the following dataflow snippet.
"Augment_OpportunitiesWithAccountDetails": {
"action": "augment",
"parameters": {
"operation": "LookupSingleValue",
"left": "Extract_Opportunity",

A measure is a quantitative value, like revenue and exchange rate. You can do math on measures and filter by numerical comparison.
Now you can select measure comparison operators from a new drop-down list.

Group Dates by Fiscal Periods: Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter, and Fiscal Year-Quarter
Now you can group or filter by fiscal dates and date ranges.
Using the Group button, you can click a fiscal date option to access the scale selections: Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter, and Fiscal Year-Quarter.
Once a group is selected, the lens filters your data so that only the selected range appears.
Be aware of these limitations:
• Fiscal Month and Fiscal Year-Month filters aren’t available.
• Range selection by clicking and dragging on a timeline isn’t available.

viewing it in an Analytics Cloud window.

Link from Lens and Dashboard Tables and Charts

You’ve presented your data in a lens or a dashboard, and now you want more detail. Your team can create custom links from tables and
charts in Analytics Cloud lenses and dashboards to corresponding records in Salesforce (like Accounts, Cases, and Opportunities) or
external websites.
Links can pass specific bits of data, such as Salesforce account IDs, from lenses or dashboards to the records that contain them. For
example, a link from an account name in a dashboard could be configured to pass the related account ID to Salesforce; when a user
clicks the link, the appropriate account record opens in a new tab. Custom links can also look up employees in Workday® or expense
reports in Concur®. Any website can be linked to as long as it uses the http or https protocol.

element or clicking the wrench icon next to it ( ).
For information about field mapping and working with the enhanced page layout editor, see Customizing Page Layouts with the
Enhanced Page Layout Editor.
Be aware of these limits and limitations:
• You can add one dashboard per page layout.
• Analytics Cloud dashboards aren’t supported in the original page layout editor. If you use the original page layout editor to open a
layout that was created in the enhanced page layout editor, the original page layout editor will delete any dashboard element as
soon as you save the layout.
• In a Visualforce page, adding a detail page component that contains an Analytics Cloud dashboard isn’t supported.

Wave REST API (Pilot): Build New Functionality

You can now access Analytics Cloud datasets and lenses programmatically by using the Wave REST API.

Note: We provide this feature to selected customers through a pilot program that requires agreement to specific terms and
conditions. To be nominated to participate in the program, contact Salesforce. Because pilot programs are subject to change, we
can’t guarantee acceptance. This pilot feature isn’t generally available, as referenced in this document or in press releases or public
statements. We can’t guarantee that it will become generally available within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase
decisions only on the basis of generally available features. Services provided by the Wave REST API are subject to change. Support
is not provided.
Using the Wave REST API, you can:
• Send queries directly to the Wave Platform.
• Access datasets that have been imported into the Wave Platform.
• Retrieve Analytics Cloud lenses.
• Access XMD information.
• Retrieve a list of dataset versions.
• Create and retrieve Analytics Cloud applications.
• Retrieve a list of dependencies for an application.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes SAQL Enhancements (Pilot): Build More Powerful Queries

SAQL Enhancements (Pilot): Build More Powerful Queries

Use the Salesforce Analytics Query Language (SAQL) in Wave REST API requests and in Dashboard JSON to return exactly the Analytics
Cloud data you’re looking for.
Use the SAQL real-time query language to access data that’s stored in datasets. SAQL is compositional—every statement has a result,
and you can chain statements together. Analytics Cloud uses SAQL behind the scenes in lenses, dashboards, and explorer to gather data
for visualizations.

Note: SAQL is currently available through a pilot program. Any unreleased services or features referenced in this or other press
releases or public statements are not currently available and may not be delivered on time or at all. Customers who purchase our
services should make their purchase decisions based upon features that are currently available.

IN THIS SECTION:
Enhance Your SAQL Queries With Open-Ended Dates Support (Pilot)
SAQL now supports open-ended ranges for absolute and relative dates filters.

SEE ALSO:
SAQL Reference

Enhance Your SAQL Queries With Open-Ended Dates Support (Pilot)

SAQL now supports open-ended ranges for absolute and relative dates filters.
With open-ended date ranges, Salesforce Analytics Query Language (SAQL) now enables you to build queries like “List all opportunities
closed after 12/23/2014” and “Get a list of marketing campaigns from before 04/2/2015.”
Open-ended relative date filters look like this:
a = filter a by date('year','month','day')in[.."current month"]

New SAQL date functions in this release are the following:

• now(): Returns current date time in UTC (GMT calendar).
• toDate (dateStr, [formatStr]): Converts a string to a date. If no format string is specified, uses default format
yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss .
• toDate (epoch_sec):: Converts Unix epoch seconds to a date. Note: If epoch seconds is 0, toDate(epoch_sec) returns
'1970-01-01 00:00:00'.
• daysBetween(date1, date2b): Returns the number of days between two dates as an integer.
• toString (date, formatStr): Converts a date to a string.

Mobile: Do More on the Go

For the Salesforce1 app, Summer ’15 is primarily focused on improving your sales reps’ mobile experience through performance and
trust improvements. There are other goodies for your users too, like streamlining workflow with a rich-text note-taking tool (beta). Or
growing revenue pipelines by converting qualified leads to contacts, complete with the ability to create new accounts as part of the

Salesforce1 No Longer Supported on iOS 7 Devices

Version 7.3 of the Salesforce1 downloadable app for iOS installs only on devices running iOS 8 or later. The release of version 7.3 marks
the formal end of support for Salesforce1 on iOS 7 devices and for older versions of Salesforce1 for iOS. To ensure a smooth transition
for your organization, we recommend that your users’ devices are updated to iOS 8 before attempting to install version 7.3.
iOS 8 can be installed for free on all of the iOS devices that are supported for Salesforce1 use. For help upgrading devices, see Update
the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch on the Apple Support site. For the full list of iOS devices that Salesforce1 supports,
see “Requirements for the Salesforce1 Mobile App” in the Salesforce Help.
While users can continue to use previously installed, older versions of Salesforce1 on devices running iOS 7, Salesforce will no longer
provide support for any issues encountered.
With Summer ’15, the Salesforce1 mobile browser app is supported on devices running iOS 8 or later. Users aren’t prevented from
accessing the mobile browser app on iOS 7 devices but may encounter performance or other issues that won’t be addressed by Salesforce.

End of Support for Salesforce1 on Android 4.2 and 4.3 Coming in Winter ’16
To ensure your users have an optimal experience using Salesforce1, we will be removing support for the older Android 4.2 and 4.3
operating systems. Shortly after the completion of the Winter ’16 release, version 8.0 of the Salesforce1 downloadable app for Android
will be available from Google Play. This version will install only on Android phones running 4.4 or later. The release of Salesforce1 for

Customize Actions in the Salesforce1 Action Bar

Focus your mobile users on what they need to do in the field by assigning a different set of actions
EDITIONS
in the Salesforce1 mobile app than you have in Salesforce. For all of the Salesforce1 apps, you can
customize the selection and order of quick actions, productivity actions, and standard and custom Customized actions
buttons, in the action bar and for list item actions, on an object-by-object basis. available in: Group,
To enable this customization, we added a new section to the global publisher layout and to object Professional, Enterprise,
page layouts, and have renamed the existing actions section. The former Actions category in the Performance, Unlimited,
palette is now Quick Actions, and we added a new category called Salesforce1 Actions. Contact Manager, and
Developer Editions

87
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Salesforce1

You can now add actions to:

Quick Actions in the Publisher
This section can contain actions only from the Quick Actions category in the palette. Actions in this section appear in the Chatter
publisher in the full Salesforce site.
Actions in the Salesforce1 Action Bar
This section can contain actions only from the Salesforce1 Actions category in the palette. On object page layouts, the Salesforce1
Actions category contains all available types of actions for the object, including quick actions, productivity actions, and standard and
custom buttons. Actions in this section appear in the action bar and action menu in Salesforce1.
If you customize the actions in the Quick Actions in the Publisher section, but don’t customize the action bar section, then the Salesforce1
action bar inherits its quick actions from the Quick Actions in the Publisher section.

Important: Customizations you made in the old “Actions in the Publisher” section on the global publisher layout and object
layouts continue to populate the Salesforce1 action bar until you choose to customize the new Actions in the Salesforce1 Action
Bar section.
If you don’t customize the actions in either section, then the action bar inherits a default set of actions predefined by Salesforce. The sets
of actions differ between objects, based on the most common or typical activities required for each object. For a complete breakdown
of default action ordering in the Salesforce1 action bar, see “How Predefined Actions Are Ordered in the Salesforce1 Action Bar and List
Item Actions” in the Salesforce Help.
If you do customize the Actions in the Salesforce1 Action Bar section on a layout, then Salesforce1 users see only the actions you selected,
in the order you added them, when working on that object or page in Salesforce1.

Create Custom App Pages with the Lightning App Builder (Generally Available)
The Lightning App Builder is a point-and-click tool that makes it easy to create custom app pages
EDITIONS
for Salesforce1. With the Lightning App Builder, you can combine various components on a single
app home page to give your Salesforce1 users what they need all in one place. You can create App Lightning App Builder
Home pages for custom mobile apps and add them to the Salesforce1 navigation menu, which available in: Group,
gives your users quick access to the most important objects or items in an app. Lightning Pages, Professional, Enterprise,
including custom App Home pages, are supported in all of the Salesforce1 apps. Performance, Unlimited,
With the Lightning App Builder, you can build App Home pages like this: and Developer Editions

• Single-page applications that drill down into standard pages

• Dashboard-style applications, such as apps to track top sales prospects or key leads for the quarter
• “Point” applications to solve a particular task, such as an expense app for users to enter and monitor expenses
You can access the Lightning App Builder in Setup, in the Build section. The Lightning App Builder’s user interface makes creating app
pages for Salesforce1 easy. Here’s a breakdown of the parts of the tool.

Header (1)
The header shows you the label of your Lightning Page. It also gives you the opportunity to return to Setup without saving or to
view additional help.
Toolbar (2)
Use the buttons in the toolbar to cut ( ), copy ( ), and paste ( ) page content; and to undo ( ), redo ( ), save, or activate
your App Home page. You can also view your page in different formats and adjust the canvas size to fit your view.
Lightning Components Pane (3)
The components pane contains all standard and custom Lightning components that are supported for your App Home page. Click
and drag a component to add it to the page.
You can also access third-party custom components on the AppExchange using the button at the bottom of the pane.
Canvas (4)
The canvas area is where you build your page.

89
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Salesforce1

Properties Pane (5)

Depending on what you select on the page, the properties pane shows either the overall page properties or the properties of the
component that you’ve selected.
Lightning Pages are the underlying technology for the Lightning App Builder. Lightning Pages are built using Lightning
components—compact, configurable, and reusable elements that you can drag and drop into the Lightning App Builder.
You can use standard, custom, and third-party components in the Lightning App Builder.
Standard Components
Standard components are Lightning components built by Salesforce. The Lightning App Builder supports these standard Lightning
components.
• Filter List (List View)
• Recent Items
• Report Chart
• Rich Text
• Visualforce Page
Custom Components
Custom components are Lightning components that you or someone else have created. With some modifications, custom Lightning
components can work in the Lightning App Builder. For more information, see the Lightning Components Developer’s Guide.
Third-Party Components on AppExchange
The AppExchange provides a marketplace for Lightning components. You can find packages containing components already
configured and ready to use in the Lightning App Builder.
Actions add interactivity to your app. You can add global actions to an App Home page in the Lightning App Builder. When users visit
your page in Salesforce1, the assigned global actions appear in the page’s action bar.
For complete instructions on using the Lightning App Builder, see the Salesforce Help.

Navigate More Quickly with New Swipe Gestures

Version 7.3 of the Salesforce1 downloadable app for iOS includes two new swipe gestures for quickly opening the navigation menu and
returning to previously viewed pages.
Users can now open the navigation menu from any page, even pages that don’t display the icon. Simply swipe to the right anywhere
on the header.
We’ve also made it easier to return to previously viewed pages. Just swipe to the right anywhere along the left edge of the screen. This
is especially convenient on larger devices like the iPhone 6 Plus, where it can be harder to reach the icon in the header.
Neither gesture is available when working on an action that requires saving or submitting, like creating a record, posting to Chatter, or
logging a call.

Prevent Duplicates When Converting Leads
Depending on the duplicate rules you set up for Duplicate Management, sales reps using Salesforce1 can now receive alerts of
possible duplicates for accounts and contacts when converting leads. Sales reps can then decide to either save the records that
could create duplicates or select other records to avoid duplicates altogether. For more information, see “Duplicate Management

View All Paused Flow Interviews in One Location

For users who work with flows, Salesforce1 lists all paused flow interviews in one central place and
EDITIONS
makes it easy to resume interviews when out of the office. This feature is now available in the
Salesforce1 downloadable app for Android devices, version 7.2. And it’s also available in the Flows are available in:
Salesforce1 mobile browser app. Enterprise, Performance,
A flow is an application that can execute logic, interact with the Salesforce database, call Apex Unlimited, and Developer
classes, and collect data from users. You can build flows by using the Cloud Flow Designer. For Editions
example, a flow can step support representatives through a call script that provides different
questions based on selections that the user makes earlier in the call. This way, the support
representative doesn’t try to sell a product to the customer when she already has the product. A flow interview is a running instance of
a flow.
To view a paused interview in Salesforce1, select Paused Flow Interviews from the navigation menu. A list displays the flow interviews
that the current user paused. The user can tap a specific interview to view details and then tap Resume or Delete. Any valid values that
users entered before they paused are saved with the interview, so they don't have to reenter that information when they resume.
The Paused Flow Interviews item is included in the Salesforce1 navigation menu by default. You can customize where this item appears
in the navigation menu. From Setup in the full Salesforce site, click Salesforce1 Setup > Mobile Navigation.

Receive Notifications about Posts to Groups

Mobile users can learn about new posts in groups they’re members of—even if they aren’t specifically
EDITIONS
mentioned—with a new notification type. These alerts are available as in-app notifications for all
versions of Salesforce1 and also as push notifications in version 7.3 of the Salesforce1 downloadable Groups available in:
apps. Mentions and new comments in group feeds don’t trigger notifications. Professional, Enterprise,
Group notifications indicate the name of the colleague who posted and the group posted to. If Performance, Unlimited,
multiple people post to a group in the same day, each new notification reflects the total number and Developer Editions
of posts so far.
To make group notifications available to your users, Salesforce1 in-app and push notifications must
be turned on. From Setup in the full Salesforce site, click Salesforce1 Setup > Notification Options.
Users enable group notifications for themselves from the full Salesforce site by selecting the email every post option on each desired
group’s page. This option now turns on the Salesforce1 group notification type in addition to standard email notifications.
If users find group post push notifications too distracting, they can easily opt out while continuing to see in-app notifications about
these activities in the notifications list. In the Salesforce1 navigation menu, tap Settings > Push Notification Settings then turn off
Posts to a group

Note: Group notifications aren’t supported in communities.

Salesforce Adoption Manager is now available for organizations based in the U.K. and Australia, as well as those in the United States.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Salesforce1

Obsolete Publisher Icon Field Removed from Salesforce1 Branding Pages

The Publisher Icon field has been removed from the Salesforce1 Branding pages, which are accessible in Setup by clicking
Salesforce1 Setup > Branding. The publisher icon was removed from the Salesforce1 mobile browser app in Winter ’15 and from
the downloadable apps starting with version 7.0. Because earlier versions of the downloadable apps are no longer supported, the
Publisher Icon field is now obsolete.

Other Device and Browser Support Enhancements

Get Salesforce1 Notifications on the Apple Watch
When used on iPhones devices, the Salesforce1 for iOS app delivers all Salesforce1 push notifications to the Apple Watch, so a mobile
user can see alerts and key updates simply by turning her wrist.

Other Supported Data Enhancements

Access State and Country Picklists
State and country picklists are now available in all versions of Salesforce1. State and country picklists allow users to select states and
countries from predefined, standardized lists, instead of directly typing state and country data into text fields. You must enable state
and country picklists for your organization first. For more information, see “Enable and Disable State and Country Picklists” in the
Salesforce Help.
Access External Data with Lightning Connect
With Lightning Connect, users of the Salesforce1 downloadable app for iOS and the Salesforce1 mobile browser app can view and
search data that's stored outside your organization. Lightning Connect accesses the external data in real time via Web service callouts
and represents the data in Salesforce external objects. (Lightning Connect is available in Developer Edition and for an extra cost, in
Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions.)
Previously, you could access only Open Data Protocol–exposed data on external systems. Now you can access more types of external
systems, so all your users—including Salesforce1 users—get a more complete view of your business. For more information, see
Lightning Connect on page 219.

Other Navigation and Actions Enhancements

Scroll More Easily and with Better Context When Viewing Long Lists (Tablets Only)
When using the Salesforce1 mobile browser app on a tablet, it's easier to work with the information displayed on object home pages
and in listviews and search results. Users can scroll seamlessly through long lists of records instead of using navigation buttons to
switch between multiple pages. And column headings remain at the top of the page when scrolling, so users can always identify
the categories of data they’re looking at.
Open Most Salesforce URLs Directly in a Salesforce1 Downloadable App
The Salesforce1 downloadable app for Android, version 7.2 now supports URL schemes, same as the Salesforce1 for iOS app. When
a user taps a Salesforce URL hyperlink, or enters a Salesforce URL into a browser address bar on a mobile device, she’s taken directly
to that page in Salesforce1. This saves users from having to manually navigate to desired information in the app.
For example, a user can email a Salesforce URL for an account to some coworkers. Simply by tapping the link in the email, a coworker
using a Salesforce1 downloadable app can automatically open the account record in the app.
An administrator or developer can customize a URL scheme to perform a specific action when Salesforce1 launches. See Salesforce1
Mobile URL Schemes for more information.
Page Scrolling for Assistive Technology Users Has Changed to Buttons
For assistive technology users, scrolling in the Salesforce1 for iOS downloadable app is now done with buttons instead of three-finger
swiping. Buttons are located at the top and bottom of the page for vertical scrolling and on the left and right for horizontal scrolling

98
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Salesforce1

regions. We've replaced three-finger scrolling with scrolling buttons to improve performance and to provide users with a consistent
scrolling experience throughout the app.
Call or Log Action Renamed
The Call or Log productivity action is now named Call. We made this change to clarify the primary use of the action and to
differentiate it from the Log a Call quick action. The functionality of the Call action hasn't changed— it's still possible to use Call
to log a note on a record without making a phone call first. But it's usually faster to use the Log a Call action for this sort of activity.
This change is available in the Salesforce1 mobile browser app and in version 7.0 or later of the downloadable apps.
Google Map Images Replace the Map Productivity Action
With a map now appearing in standard address fields, users can see account or contact locations directly on record detail pages.
(For a map to display, an address must include the street, city, and either the state, postal code, or country.)

The Google Maps image feature that was released in Spring ’15 is replacing the Map productivity action. With a map image
now appearing in standard address fields, users can see account or contact locations directly on record detail pages. (For a map to
display, an address must include the street, city, and either the state, postal code, or country.) Tapping a map image opens the
address in a map app, where users can see more details or get directions. See “Maps and Location Services” in the Salesforce Help
for more information.

The old action is no longer included in the Salesforce1 action bar on accounts, contacts, or person accounts.
Account News Replaces the Read News Productivity Action
The Account News feature that was released in Spring ’15 is replacing the Read News productivity action. Now sales reps can
keep current with personalized, up-to-date news about their accounts directly from Account related information pages. Make sure
Account News is enabled—from Setup, click Salesforce1 Setup > Account News. See “Turn On Account News for the Salesforce1
Mobile App” in the Salesforce Help for more information.

Note: Accounts News is curated using technology provided by Data.com. Account News is available in English only, and only
to users in the United States.
For most accounts, Salesforce provides articles from our own news processing platform, which collects news from third-party
news providers. On occasion, if a match isn’t found in our database, we may search a third-party news provider for news specific
to your account, using the account name you’ve listed in Salesforce. Queries performed by Salesforce are performed using
secure protocols and are not linked to individual Salesforce users.

The old action is no longer included in the Salesforce1 action bar on accounts or person accounts.

Other Search Enhancements

Use Global Search to Find Information in Feed Posts
Salesforce1 mobile browser app users can now use global search in the header ( ) to find posts in the “All Company” Chatter
feed. Swipe to the end of the search scope bar and tap Feeds.
Searching the feed with global search is a little different than searching other objects. The search page doesn’t show a list of recently
viewed posts, the app doesn’t start looking for matching posts while a user is typing keywords in the search box, and the action bar
doesn’t display at the bottom of the search results page.

Other Sales Productivity Enhancements

Key Fields Automatically Update When Changing an Opportunity's Stage
Updating the sales stage, either in the Opportunity record or the Sales Path, automatically updates the Forecast Category and
Probability %. Previously, users needed to manually refresh the page for these fields to update. This enhancement is available in all
Salesforce1 apps. (Opportunities are available in Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions.)

99
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Salesforce1

Other Work.com Enhancements

Track Goals and Metrics with Enhanced Goals
Help your sales teams precisely track goals and metrics related to their work with Enhanced Goals. Salesforce1 users can review, edit,
and create goals and metrics on the go. See Upgrade to Enhanced Goals (Generally Available) on page 144 for details and help setting
up Enhanced Goals. (Enhanced Goals is available in Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions.)

Other Customer Service Tools Enhancements

See File Fields on Articles
Agents and customers can now see file field content when viewing articles in the Salesforce1 for Android and Salesforce1 mobile
browser apps. This is especially useful when an article references something in an attached file that isn’t well understood without
accessing the file. (Salesforce Knowledge is available in Performance and Developer Editions, and for an additional cost in Enterprise
and Unlimited Editions.)

Other Chatter Enhancements

Dismiss Recommendations in Feeds
Salesforce1 mobile browser app users can now dismiss recommendations so they no longer appear in feeds, including community
feeds. This applies to all recommendation types, including custom recommendations and the Salesforce Today recommendation.
Add Multiple Topics to a Post
While adding topics to posts, Salesforce1 mobile browser app users can quickly separate multiple topic names with commas or the
Tab key. (Topics are available in Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, Contact Manager, and Developer Editions.)
Manage Group Members from Related Lists
Using Salesforce1, group owners and managers can do more to manage group members directly from Members related lists. Swipe
left on a name to remove the member or change their role from member to manager. (Groups are available in Professional, Enterprise,
Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions.)
Focus on Useful Information in Group List Views
To help mobile users focus on the most relevant information, Salesforce1 no longer clutters up group list views with the date and
time of the last activity on the feed. And the archived status field is no longer displayed—previously this information was included
in group list views when accessed on a tablet. (Groups are available in Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer
Editions.)

Other Salesforce Communities Enhancements

Salesforce Communities are available in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions.
Approve or Reject Approval Requests from Approval Related Lists On Records in Communities
You can now assign role-based external users as approvers on records. In all of the Salesforce1 apps, these users can see and take
action on records through the My Approvals and Approval History related lists. Role-based external users with Customer Community,
Customer Community Plus, and Partner Community licenses, and Portal users who are a member of a Salesforce community, can
use Salesforce1. Users with high-volume licenses, such as High Volume Customer Portal and Authenticated Website, can’t approve
records.
External users can’t submit requests for approval in Salesforce1.
See External Users Can Now Directly Approve or Reject Approvals from the Approval History Related List on Records on page 123 for
more information.
Add Records to Chatter Groups in Communities
Increase collaboration on the go by allowing communities members to add records to groups. This option is available in all versions
of Salesforce1. For more information, see Communities Members Can Now Add Records in Groups on page 121.

100
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Salesforce1

Create Custom Recommendations in Community Feeds from a Different Location in Community Management
Drive engagement with your mobile community users by adding custom recommendations to community feeds. Custom
recommendations are supported in the Salesforce1 mobile browser app for any community using the Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce
template. You now create custom recommendations for communities from a different location in Community Management, by
clicking Recommendations > Recommendations.
To clarify some misinformation in the Salesforce Spring ’15 Release Notes, communities using the Napili template do not support
custom recommendations in the Salesforce1 mobile browser app. We don’t recommend using Salesforce1 to access communities
that use Napili or any other Community Builder template because these communities contain rich styling that doesn’t display in the
mobile app. See “Access to Communities Using Salesforce1” in the Salesforce Help for more information.

Other Offline Enhancements

See Improved Visual Feedback During Page Loading
All Salesforce1 users now experience a smoother transition while pages are loading. We’ve added placeholder images and an activity
bar to improve transitions between pages and increase the overall responsiveness of the app.
Offline Settings Link on the Salesforce1 Setup Page Renamed
In Setup in the full site, on the Salesforce1 Setup page, the Offline Sync link has been renamed Offline Cache to match terminology
used on the Salesforce1 Offline Settings page.

Other Security Enhancements

Connected App IP Relaxation and Continuous IP Enforcement
There’s a new security setting that continuously restricts Salesforce access—including login requests from connected apps like the
Salesforce1 downloadable apps—to only the IP addresses that are defined in Login IP Ranges. If you previously relaxed IP restrictions
for any of the downloadable apps then decide to turn on the Enforce login IP ranges on every request option,
user access to the mobile apps may change. See Continuously Enforce IP Addresses in Login IP Ranges on page 314 for more
information about this new setting. And see Connected App IP Relaxation and Continuous IP Enforcement to learn how connected
app IP relaxation settings interact with continuous IP enforcement.
For other connected app enhancements, see Connected App Improvements for Finer Control and Easier Administration on page
321.
Comply with Data Protection Requirements Using Platform Encryption (Generally Available)
Data that’s encrypted with Platform Encryption is supported in all versions of Salesforce1. See Comply with Data Protection
Requirements Using Platform Encryption (Generally Available) on page 311 for more information.
When Salesforce1 users interact with encrypted data, keep in mind:
• Search can’t find data in encrypted fields.
• Related lists on Accounts and Contacts are empty when the Name field is encrypted.
• File encryption indicators don’t display in the app.
• Records cloned by users who don’t have the “View Encrypted Data” permission include masked data for encrypted fields.

Other Miscellaneous Enhancements

Experience Faster App Loading
We’ve improved performance of the Salesforce1 downloadable app for iOS, version 7.3 by changing how the app looks and behaves
when it’s loading.
• When logging in to Salesforce1 for iOS the first time, the user now sees a gray splash screen with a blue header until custom or
default branding resources, such as logo and background color, finish downloading. It’s possible this login session may complete

101
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Salesforce1

before there’s time to display any branding. When the app loads on subsequent logins, the user sees a branded splash
screen—which includes any custom branding applied to the app by your organization. See “Custom Branding for the Salesforce1
Mobile App” in the Salesforce Help..
• Whenever the user backgrounds or foregrounds the app, your organization’s custom-branded splash screen displays, as before.
But for organizations using the default Salesforce1 branding, the app simply blurs the screen during backgrounding and
foregrounding.

Salesforce1 Differences from the Full Salesforce Site

The Salesforce1 app doesn’t have all of the functionality of the full Salesforce site, and in some cases includes features that aren’t available
in the full site.
For features introduced or updated in Summer ’15, these areas have differences:
Supported Salesforce Data
Salesforce1 users can’t add products with revenue or quantity schedules to opportunities. If this is attempted, the product appears
on the opportunity, but the schedule isn’t created. Users also can’t reestablish a product schedule from an opportunity.
Notes (Beta)
• Salesforce1 users can access all of their notes from the Notes item in the Salesforce1 navigation menu. The full site doesn’t
include a Notes tab. Instead, notes are accessed from the Files tab.
• Users can't relate a note to multiple records in the full site.
Work.com Enhanced Goals
When using Enhanced Goals in Salesforce1, users can’t:
• Share goals and metrics
• Link metrics to reports
• Refresh metrics that are linked to reports
• Link parent goals and subgoals
• Add goal images
Salesforce Knowledge
When using Salesforce Knowledge in Salesforce1:
• Articles can't be created, edited, translated, or archived.
• Only published articles are available—not draft or archived articles.
• Articles can't be linked to cases.
• Videos and tables are cut off on the right side when included in article rich text fields.
These issues also exist when searching for articles in Salesforce1 for Android, version 7.3:
• Search results show up to three articles only.
• The type ahead and snippets and highlighting features aren’t available.
• Only articles in the user’s language are returned and only if that language is an active Knowledge language (from Setup,
Customize > Knowledge > Knowledge Settings). To see articles in another language, users can change to an active Knowledge
language—from My Settings, use the Quick Find search box to locate the Language & Time Zone page.
• The article promoted search term feature only works on the user’s language and only if that language is an active Knowledge
language.
Salesforce1 Reporting
Summary and matrix reports that use conditional highlighting can’t be viewed in Salesforce1.

102
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Salesforce1

Chatter Feeds
Salesforce1 users can’t edit feed posts or comments. Feed items edited in the full site do appear in Salesforce1.
Salesforce Communities
Role-based external users can approve or reject approval requests from Approval related lists on records in communities. But they
can’t use Salesforce1 to submit requests for approval.
Security
If Salesforce1 users interact with data encrypted by Platform Encryption, keep in mind:
• Search can’t find data in encrypted fields.
• Related lists on Accounts and Contacts are empty when the Name field is encrypted.
• File encryption indicators don’t display in the app.
• Records cloned by users who don’t have the “View Encrypted Data” permission include masked data for encrypted fields.
For complete details about the Salesforce features that are different in Salesforce1, see “Salesforce1 Limits and Differences from the Full
Salesforce Site” in the Salesforce Help in the Salesforce online help.

Salesforce1 App Development Overview

Several Force.com platform enhancements support Salesforce1 development.
• Lightning Components
• Visualforce
• API Support

Lightning Components
You can now render string fields as picklists in custom Lightning components you’ve configured for the Lightning App Builder. For more
information see Create Picklists for Lightning App Builder Components on page 271.
See Lightning Components on page 268 for other enhancements to the Lightning Component framework.

Visualforce
Custom marker icons let you add style or branding to a map. You can also use custom markers to show different kinds of locations on
the same map. For details, see Customize Visualforce Maps with Custom Markers on page 250.
You can add information related to a location to Visualforce maps with info windows. Info windows appear when the user clicks or taps
on a map marker. For details, see Enrich Visualforce Maps with Info Windows on page 250.

API Support
The Force.com APIs support Salesforce1 development. Unless otherwise noted, these enhancements for Salesforce1 development were
made available in API version 34.0.
Chatter REST API
There’s a new enabled parameter for the /connect/scheduled-recommendations and
/connect/scheduled-recommendations/scheduledRecommendationId resources, to indicate whether a
recommendation is scheduled.

103
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Chatter Mobile for Android No Longer Supported as of
Summer ’15

There’s a new actionUrlName parameter for the /connect/recommendation-definitions and

/connect/recommendation-definitions/recommendationDefinitionId resources, to customize the label
for recommendations.
These recommendations appear directly in the feed when using the Salesforce1 mobile browser app. For more information, see
New and Changed Chatter REST API Resources on page 286.
Metadata API
A new field, platformActionList, was added to the FlexiPage and Layout Metadata types. PlatformActionList represents the
list of actions, and their order, that display in the Salesforce1 action bar for the respective context: Lightning Page or page layout.
For more information, see Metadata Types and Fields on page 298.

Chatter Mobile for Android No Longer Supported as of Summer ’15

Shortly after completion of the Summer ’15 release, Chatter Mobile for Android, version 3.4 will be removed from Google Play and will
no longer be supported by Salesforce. To ensure uninterrupted mobile access to your Salesforce data, we recommend that your users
switch to the Salesforce1 downloadable app for Android as soon as possible.
Users who have already installed Chatter Mobile can continue to use the app after Salesforce support ends. But Salesforce will no longer
provide assistance in the form of enhancements, investigations, or bug fixes for any issues that your users encounter. After Chatter Mobile
is removed from Google Play, it won’t be possible to reinstall the app, nor will users be able to do a new installation of the app on any
Android device.
Customers are highly encouraged to migrate to the Salesforce1 downloadable app for Android. We are focused on making Salesforce1
the mobile experience that best serves your needs. Salesforce1 contains the functionality of the Chatter Mobile app, plus a broad range
of productivity and CRM features: access to Salesforce objects and records, activity management with tasks, notes, and events, and
progress monitoring with dashboards and reports. Plus you can customize Salesforce1 with mobile-optimized Visualforce pages, custom
quick actions, and custom or third-party apps.
The Salesforce1 downloadable app for Android currently supports Android phones with Android 4.2 or later. See “Requirements for the
Salesforce1 Mobile App” in the Salesforce Help for more information.

Mobile Dashboards for iPad App No Longer Supported as of Summer ’15

With the Summer ’15 release, the Mobile Dashboards for iPad app will be removed from the App Store and will no longer be supported
by Salesforce. We encourage customers who currently use the Mobile Dashboards for iPad app to switch to the Salesforce1 mobile app
instead.
Users who have the app installed on an iPad device can continue to use it, but if the app is deleted, it won’t be possible to reinstall it.
And it won’t be possible to install the app on new iPad devices.
We are focusing our mobile development resources on the Salesforce1 mobile app. Salesforce1 is available for iPad devices and has
similar functionality to the Mobile Dashboards for iPad app, in addition to other enhanced analytics features. With Salesforce1, users can
view filtered and dynamic dashboards, drill down into reports, and share dashboard snapshots in feeds.

list view. The new community case feed lets community users and support agents view all case interactions in a unified, Chatter-based
design. And the Napili template now highlights topic experts and lets users make their profiles public.
Community Reporting
Community reporting just got awesome! Now you can grant partner and customer users permissions to create and edit reports. In
addition, shortly after the Summer ’15 release you’ll be able to install an updated version of the Communities Dashboards package
on AppExchange. This package will include an updated Licenses dashboard, additional report filters for users, and reports on feed
editability.
Other Changes in Communities
Other important changes to Communities include community member access to records in groups, the ability to share more contact
information with guests, a new Apex method for creating Communities users, improved SEO for more targeted searching, and email
redirection improvements.

Community Management
Managing your community just got easier. Community managers can now create custom recommendations to drive engagement,

More Intuitive Community Management Navigation

Some of the Administration nodes and links in Community Management have been renamed or moved.
We made the following changes:

any community using the Summer ’15 or later version of the Napili template.
In Community Management, select Recommendations > Recommendations. For instructions on creating recommendations, see
Customize Recommendations in Communities in the Salesforce Help.
In the Salesforce1 mobile browser app, recommendations appear directly in the feed. In communities using the Summer ’15 or later

Customize Your Community’s Change Password and Forgot Password Pages

Use a custom Community Builder (Site.com Studio) or Visualforce page instead of the default Change Password and Forgot Password
pages.
In Community Management, go to Administration > Login & Registration to change your page assignments. You can use a custom
Community Builder (Site.com Studio) or Visualforce page to override the default pages.
The Forgot Password page can be customized in Community Builder or Visualforce. If you want to use a custom Community Builder
Forgot Password page, first publish your page in Community Builder.

108
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Community Management

The Change Password page can only be customized in Visualforce.

Page selections made in Community Management override previous page selections specified in the Site.com and Force.com site
settings. For more information, see Use Custom Change Password and Forgot Password Pages in Your Community in the Salesforce Help.

Override Default Community Pages in Community Management

You can replace the standard Community Home page and Service Not Available page with custom company-branded pages directly
in Community Management.
The Community Home page is shown to unauthenticated users in a public community and it allows you to specify a landing page for
guest users without setting up redirects. Previously, the Community Home page was set in Visualforce or you had to create URL redirects
to specify a Site.com page.
The Service Not Available page is shown when the community is not available due to a service outage. Previously, the Service Not
Available page was set in Force.com. Use a static resource file to override the Service Not Available page.
In Community Management, go to Administration > Pages to customize your community page assignments. Select a Community
Builder (Site.com Studio) or Visualforce page to override the Community Home page.
Page selections made in Community Management override previous page selections specified in the Site.com and Force.com site
properties. For more information, see Override Default Pages in Your Community with Custom Pages in the Salesforce Help.

Customize Visualforce Error Pages For Authenticated Users

You can use custom Visualforce error pages for authenticated users instead of the default Visualforce error pages.
In Community Management, select Administration > Preferences, and then select Use custom Visualforce error
pages. Then in Administration > Pages, click Go to Force.com to specify your custom page.

109
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Community Builder

When Use custom Visualforce error pages is selected, users who are logged in to the community will only see your
custom Visualforce error pages. When Use custom Visualforce error pages is not selected, users logged in to the
community see the default Visualforce error pages. Guest users who aren’t logged in to the community will always see the custom
Visualforce error pages, regardless of whether or not you select the Use custom Visualforce error pages option.

Other Changes in Community Management

Other important changes in Community Management include what happens when you change your community template and where
you can flag files.
Changing Your Community Template Doesn’t Change Your Community Pages
If you change your community template, make sure that your community pages are still the best choice for your updated community
template.
For example, if you previously had a Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce template and switched to a Community Builder-based template,
consider updating your pages to use Community Builder pages instead of Visualforce pages. If required, customize your community
in Community Builder and publish the changes.
Flagging Files Not Available in the UI for Communities Created with Community Builder-based Templates
You can’t flag files in communities created with a Community Builder-based template in the user interface, instead you must use
the API. Even if Allow members to flag content is enabled, you won’t see the Flagged Files node in Community
Management.

Community Builder
Community Builder now lets you publish from the sandbox.

IN THIS SECTION:
Publish a Community from the Sandbox
Communities that were created using one of the three self-service templates (Koa, Kokua, or Napili) require publication to be available
to users. Previously, you could only publish such a community in production. Now you can use the sandbox to test your changes
before they go live.

Publish a Community from the Sandbox

Communities that were created using one of the three self-service templates (Koa, Kokua, or Napili) require publication to be available
to users. Previously, you could only publish such a community in production. Now you can use the sandbox to test your changes before
they go live.
For a community to be published from the sandbox, it must have a Force.com domain as the basis for its URL. Now communities built
using self-service templates are configured so you can publish them for testing purposes, regardless of their original domains.
To publish a community from your sandbox, click the Publish button in the Community Builder toolbar.

114
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Community Templates

Email Notifications Option Removed from User Profile Detail on Napili Template
We removed the Receive email notifications component from the User Profile Detail view.
Your users can easily update their email notification settings in the My Settings menu. The menu is available in the Profile Header as
long as the Show User Settings in Menu checkbox is selected in the Profile Header properties. For more information, see
the Community Templates for Self-Service Implementation Guide.

Napili “Ask the Community” Component Renamed, Moved to Top of Page

We heard your feedback! The “Ask the Community” component has a new label and location.

The button still appears at the bottom of the pages for convenience.

New Look for Case List View in Community Templates

Users in communities that are built on the self-service templates now have an easily scannable, compact list view of their cases.

Users in Napili template communities reach the case list view by clicking the Cases tab on their profile. For Koa and Kokua community
users, the case list view is visible on their profile page.
Users can view details for a case by clicking the case number, and sort a column by clicking the column header.

Note: In the Napili case list view, only case numbers and case owner names are clickable. In the Koa and Kokua case list views,
only case numbers are clickable.
The case list view change applies for desktop and tablet only.

Customizing the Case List View

The order and type of the case list view columns are determined by which fields are exposed in the list view assigned to that component.
• In Napili templates, the case list view is part of the User Profile Tabs component on the Profile page.
• In Koa and Kokua templates, the case list view is part of the My Cases component of the My Cases page.
To customize the columns that appear in the case list view, either edit the assigned list view or assign a custom list view. By default, the
template uses the AllOpenCases view.

User Profile Details and Cases List Available in Koa and Kokua Templates
The Profile Home component on the My Cases page in the Koa and Kokua templates has been replaced with the User Profile Header,
User Profile Details, and My Cases components. Users in communities created with these templates can now see profile details and a
list of their cases when viewing their profile.
The User Profile Header component (1) allows you to upload your profile photo. The User Profile Details component (2) allows you to
edit profile details. The My Cases component (3) lets you view a list of your cases and create a new case.

Community Reporting
Community reporting just got awesome! Now you can grant partner and customer users permissions to create and edit reports. In
addition, shortly after the Summer ’15 release you’ll be able to install an updated version of the Communities Dashboards package on
AppExchange. This package will include an updated Licenses dashboard, additional report filters for users, and reports on feed editability.

IN THIS SECTION:
Report Management for Partner and Customer Users—Create and Edit Reports
Community partner and customer users can now create and edit reports in their own personal folder or in a privately shared folder
if they have sufficient permissions. You can grant partner and customer users permissions to create and edit reports through their
profiles or by using permission sets. After you grant the required permissions, they can use the drag-and-drop Report Builder tool.
Enhanced Dashboards, Reports, and Metrics Added to the Communities Dashboards Package
An updated version of the Salesforce Communities Dashboards package will be available on AppExchange shortly after the Summer
’15 release. You get an improved License dashboard, the ability to filter your reports by user detail, and report on record feeds.

Report Management for Partner and Customer Users—Create and Edit Reports
Community partner and customer users can now create and edit reports in their own personal folder or in a privately shared folder if
they have sufficient permissions. You can grant partner and customer users permissions to create and edit reports through their profiles
or by using permission sets. After you grant the required permissions, they can use the drag-and-drop Report Builder tool.
To allow partner and customer users to create and edit reports, turn on the “Create and Customize Reports,” “Report Builder,” and “Edit
My Reports” permissions through custom profiles or permission sets. These permissions were added to the following external user
licenses that already have the “Run Reports” permission:
• Customer Community Plus
• Customer Community Plus Login
• Partner Community

118
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Community Reporting

• Partner Community Login

• Gold Partner
• Silver Partner
• Customer Portal Manager
• Customer Portal Manager Custom

Note: Permissions to create and edit reports aren’t available for high-volume licenses, such as Customer Community or High
Volume Customer Portal.

Considerations and Limitations

• If your organization existed before the Summer ’13 release, you must first turn on enhanced sharing for reports and dashboards
before granting role-based users permissions. See Analytics Folder Sharing.
• Data visibility is based on two main things: the account role the partner or customer belongs to and your organization’s sharing
rules. Your organization’s field-level security is respected meaning that if a field is not visible for external users, a partner or customer
user won’t see it in Report Builder.
• If you want your external users to create or edit reports in a privately shared folder, grant them “Viewer” access on the folder.
• If you want your external users to export report data, grant them the “Export Reports” permission.
• External users can’t create, edit, or view reports in the Unfiled Public Reports folder.
• Depending on what objects, fields, and categories your external users have access to, they might see custom report types in the UI
when creating a new report. Custom report types are visible if a user has read access on any fields or objects included in the custom
report type.
For more information about setting up report management for external users, see Set Up Report Management for External Users—Create
and Edit Reports in the Salesforce Help.

IdeaExchange: Partner Portal - Report Options

Enhanced Dashboards, Reports, and Metrics Added to the Communities Dashboards

Package
An updated version of the Salesforce Communities Dashboards package will be available on AppExchange shortly after the Summer ’15
release. You get an improved License dashboard, the ability to filter your reports by user detail, and report on record feeds.
The updated package provides:
Improved Licenses Dashboard
The License dashboard now provides daily tracking of license usage and enhanced visualization of the licenses used and allocated.
For login-based community licenses, you can track login usage for the current month compared to your allocated monthly logins.
You can determine if there are any trends in your login usage and see any possible overages using the monthly trend report. You
can also now easily track how many users are members of multiple communities. In order to use this improved dashboard, you’ll
need to specify your community license limits. For more information, see the Communities Managers Guide.
Report on Record Feeds
You can monitor record feed engagement on standard and custom objects by creating a custom report type from
Object>ObjectFeeds. This custom report type allows you to report on feed activity for all standard objects that have feed
tracking enabled, such as accounts, cases, leads, opportunities, and custom objects. You’ll also be able to track the number of feed

119
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Other Changes in Communities

edits and see what type of users are editing feeds. This package provides an Account Feeds dashboard that you can use as an example
to create your own customized dashboards.
Filter By User Detail
The Network Members custom report type gives you access to the following lookup fields: lastLoginDate, Department,
Country, Role, and Profile. These lookup fields can help you gain deeper insights into your data. To display these additional
fields in your reports, edit the custom report type layout and click Add fields related via lookup.
With access to user detail, you could re-purpose member reports to report on other things such as accounts. For example, you can
make a copy of a member report and then add the User.Account field through the Network Members lookup fields. This
approach allows you to take the Top 10 Members By Contribution report to create a new report called Top 10 Accounts by Contributor
report. You could customize reports to provide data on:
• Number of accounts by type (customer or partner)
• Top accounts by number of logins over a specific time range
• Top inactive accounts

Other Changes in Communities

Other important changes to Communities include community member access to records in groups, the ability to share more contact
information with guests, a new Apex method for creating Communities users, improved SEO for more targeted searching, and email
redirection improvements.

IN THIS SECTION:
Communities Members Can Now Add Records in Groups
Community members can now collaborate over records as a team by adding them to Chatter groups in their communities.
Edit Posts and Comments in Your Community
Users in communities created with either the Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce template or the Napili template can now edit their posts
and comments. As the administrator, you determine which users can edit posts by using two new profile permissions and a Chatter
setting.
Guest Access Available on More Contact Fields
Share more contact information with guest users in communities. You can set the visibility of Email, Fax, Manager, Mobile Phone,
Street Address, and Work Phone fields to Public to share the information with guest users, who aren’t required to log in to view a
community.
New Apex Method for Creating Community Users
Use the new Site.createExternalUser() Apex method to create community users. This method has improved exception
handling and error messages compared to the Site.createPortalUser() method.
Merge Fields in Visualforce Email Templates for Communities
Use the new global merge field type, $Network, and its properties in Visualforce email templates for your communities. Visualforce
email templates allow you to customize your emails with rich company branding.
Used and Expired Links in Text-Based Community Emails Redirect Correctly
Used and expired links in emails now correctly redirect to the community login page instead of the standard Salesforce login page.
These emails use the default text-based email templates created for each community.
Emails Sent for Approval Requests, Workflow Alerts, and Cases Now Include a Link to the Community
Emails created from a text email template with the {!<any_object>.Link} merge field now include a link to the community
when the email is sent to external users. Previously, the link directed external users to the internal organization.

120
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Other Changes in Communities

External Users Can Now Directly Approve or Reject Approvals from the Approval History Related List on Records
You can now assign role-based external users, such as users with a Customer Community Plus or Partner Community license, as
approvers on records. You can also add all role-based external users directly to queues and use the queue to assign approvals if you
don’t want to assign approvals directly to individual users.
Partner Users Can Now Read, Create, and Edit Campaigns
You can now assign users with a Partner Community license read, create, and edit permission on campaigns. Previously, partner
users could only read campaigns.
Partner and Customer Users Can Now Read, Create, and Edit Ideas
You can now assign users with Customer Community, Customer Community Plus, and Partner Community licenses read, create,
and edit permission on ideas. Previously, partner and customer users could only read and create ideas.
Zero In on Community Search Results with Improved SEO
Enjoy enhanced search functionality and performance in communities with improvements to crawling and generation of search
results. Search-related crawling is now automatically enabled for communities, so you don’t need to build a Visualforce solution to
benefit.
Enjoy Seamless Redirection from Community Emails
In communities based on a self-service template (Koa, Kokua, or Napili), emails generated by the community now link directly to
the relevant page.
Enable Case and Lead Assignment Rules More Intuitively
The options available for the Case Assignment Checkbox and Lead Assignment Checkbox now respect both the Default
setting and the Show on edit page checkbox independently. Previously, these options were not independent of each other.
Specify a Custom Forgot Password Page for Your Community in Site.com Studio
You can now configure your community to use a custom Community Builder (Site.com Studio) page from the Site.com site settings
for your community. The Forgot Password page allows users to recover or reset a forgotten community password.

Communities Members Can Now Add Records in Groups

Community members can now collaborate over records as a team by adding them to Chatter groups in their communities.
Community members must have at least Read access to the record and access to the group to add a record. For example, only a group
member or users with special permissions, such as “Modify All Data,” can add records to a private group, but anyone can add a record
to a public group.

Note: Record visibility in communities depends on user licenses, profiles, and sharing access. When a record is added to a group,
everyone in the group with the necessary access can see it, but Chatter Free users don’t see any records.
This feature is enabled by default for all organizations, but some additional setup is required:
• Include the Add Record action in the group publisher layout to allow users to add records.
• Optionally, include the Groups related list in record layouts for your organization.
Doing this setup makes the functionality available in both the internal organization and in all your communities.
For more information on setup, see Allow Users to Add Records to Chatter Groups in the Salesforce Help.

Edit Posts and Comments in Your Community

Users in communities created with either the Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce template or the Napili template can now edit their posts and
comments. As the administrator, you determine which users can edit posts by using two new profile permissions and a Chatter setting.

121
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Other Changes in Communities

For users that have the required user profile permissions, the ability to edit is available from the menu on the top right corner of text
posts and comments, questions, and answers. In the Napili template, this menu is available in the Feed Item Detail component.
For more information, see Edit Feed Posts and Comments and Enable Feed Post Editing in User Profiles or Permission Sets.

Guest Access Available on More Contact Fields

Share more contact information with guest users in communities. You can set the visibility of Email, Fax, Manager, Mobile Phone, Street
Address, and Work Phone fields to Public to share the information with guest users, who aren’t required to log in to view a community.
For more information on contact field visibility, see Share Personal Contact Information within Communities in the Salesforce Help.

New Apex Method for Creating Community Users

Use the new Site.createExternalUser() Apex method to create community users. This method has improved exception
handling and error messages compared to the Site.createPortalUser() method.
For more information, see the Force.com Apex Code Developer's Guide.

Merge Fields in Visualforce Email Templates for Communities

Use the new global merge field type, $Network, and its properties in Visualforce email templates for your communities. Visualforce
email templates allow you to customize your emails with rich company branding.
For example, when you add members to a community, you can use Visualforce to customize the appearance of the Welcome email they
receive. Previously, Communities did not support merge fields for Visualforce email templates. For more information, see Understanding
Global Variables and Merge Fields for Communities in the Salesforce Help.

• Case creation and update notifications to contacts using the {!Case.Link} merge field. These emails are sent when Send
contact notification is selected in Setup from Case > Support Settings.
To find out if your text email template uses these merge fields, from Setup, click Communication Templates > Email Templates, and
then click Edit next to any email template. These merge fields don’t apply to Visualforce email templates.
If the user receiving the email is a member of multiple active communities, the link directs the user to the oldest active community. If
the user is in context of a community, the link directs the user to that community. If the user is not a member of any community, the
link directs to the internal organization.

Example: When an external user who is a member of a community receives an email for an approval request notification, the
link in the email is a direct link to the approval request within the community. This link is controlled by the
{!<any_object>.Link} merge field within the email template.

External Users Can Now Directly Approve or Reject Approvals from the Approval
History Related List on Records
You can now assign role-based external users, such as users with a Customer Community Plus or Partner Community license, as approvers
on records. You can also add all role-based external users directly to queues and use the queue to assign approvals if you don’t want to
assign approvals directly to individual users.
Role-based external users can see and take action through the My Approvals and Approval History related lists on the record. Approvals
can also be triggered directly from the Chatter feed. Previously, role-based external users couldn’t be assigned as an approver and they
couldn’t see the My Approvals related list on records. They had to be members of a queue that the record was assigned to in order to
approve the record.

Note: Users with high volume licenses, such as High Volume Customer Portal and Authenticated Website, can’t approve.

If you set up email notifications for your approval workflows, the links provided in the email point users directly to the approval within
the community.
In Salesforce1, users can see and take action from the Approval History related list, but they can’t submit requests for approval. To submit
requests for approvals, the user must do so from the full Salesforce site.

Partner Users Can Now Read, Create, and Edit Campaigns

You can now assign users with a Partner Community license read, create, and edit permission on campaigns. Previously, partner users
could only read campaigns.
You can also assign permission to legacy partner portal licenses, however they can only create or edit campaigns in communities, not
in portals.
By default, create and edit permissions are turned off. Manage permissions for your partner users through their profiles or by using
permission sets. Sharing rules apply.
To work with campaigns in the UI, partner users must also be given the “Marketing User” permission to read, create, and edit campaigns.
A partner user with the “Marketing User” permission and create and edit permissions can:
• Search for and add their contact or leads as campaign members
• Access reports on their campaigns
• Mass-email and mass-assign their contacts and leads on a campaign

Partner and Customer Users Can Now Read, Create, and Edit Ideas
You can now assign users with Customer Community, Customer Community Plus, and Partner Community licenses read, create, and
edit permission on ideas. Previously, partner and customer users could only read and create ideas.
You can also assign permission to legacy portal licenses. By default, edit permission is turned off. Manage permissions for your partner
and customer users through their profiles or by using permission sets. Sharing rules apply.

Zero In on Community Search Results with Improved SEO

Enjoy enhanced search functionality and performance in communities with improvements to crawling and generation of search results.
Search-related crawling is now automatically enabled for communities, so you don’t need to build a Visualforce solution to benefit.
This change enhances search results with more topic-related URLs, particularly for topics related to articles. Users get complete and
targeted search results when searching for specific content.
Each community has a unique association with a robots.txt file that’s shared by all communities. Previously, Visualforce was required to
enable robot crawling. Now robots.txt is activated by default. This file works in conjunction with a scalable sitemap.xml file, which informs
search engines about community pages.
You can still use Visualforce to further optimize community searching.

Enjoy Seamless Redirection from Community Emails

In communities based on a self-service template (Koa, Kokua, or Napili), emails generated by the community now link directly to the
relevant page.
Emails can be generated from Chatter activity in a community, as well as from cases (for example, in the Salesforce Console). Now the
URLs that are generated along with emails dynamically route users to the source of the email. A community user simply clicks a link in
the email message to view the referenced content.
This redirection works with all community templates. Users are routed to community content as expected even if you change a community’s
template.

Note: Emails generated from communities based on the Aloha template direct users to the organization’s Aloha portal.

Enable Case and Lead Assignment Rules More Intuitively

The options available for the Case Assignment Checkbox and Lead Assignment Checkbox now respect both the Default setting
and the Show on edit page checkbox independently. Previously, these options were not independent of each other.
To update the case assignment checkbox, edit the Layout Properties of the case page layout.

Example: To force case assignment rules, select Default under Case Assignment Checkbox. This means end users won’t
see any option to turn off case assignment when editing a case. You can also decide to include the Assign using active assignment
rules checkbox by selecting Show on edit page. If you select both options, the assignment checkbox is displayed and is
checked by default. The default setting will force the assignment rule to run unless you also display the checkbox and a user
manually deselects the checkbox.

Specify a Custom Forgot Password Page for Your Community in Site.com Studio
You can now configure your community to use a custom Community Builder (Site.com Studio) page from the Site.com site settings for
your community. The Forgot Password page allows users to recover or reset a forgotten community password.

124
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Sales: Enterprise Territory Management, Forecasts, and More

Note that you can also specify a Forgot Password page in Community Management under Administration > Login & Registration,
which automatically overrides and updates your Forgot Password page selection in Site.com.

IN THIS SECTION:
Assign Territories to Opportunities More Efficiently (Generally Available)
Filter-Based Opportunity Territory Assignment lets you use a simple job to assign territories to opportunities. We provide code for
an Apex class that you can use as-is or modify as needed based on our guidelines. After you create and deploy the class, run the job
to complete the assignment process. Job options include making assignments within date ranges and assigning territories to open
opportunities only. You can also configure your settings to run the job every time an opportunity is created.
Assign Any Territory to an Opportunity
Now your organization can assign any territory within the active territory model to an opportunity—either manually, from the
opportunity record; automatically, using filter-based opportunity territory assignment; or programmatically, via the API. Your
organization is no longer restricted to assigning only a territory that is also assigned to the opportunity’s account. Manual assignments
made by users are controlled by users’ sharing access to the opportunity’s assigned (parent) account.
Use Chatter to Collaborate on Territory Models
If your organization uses Chatter, your team can now use it to collaborate on territory model development.
Associate Assignment Rules to Territories More Efficiently
Now it’s easier to choose the assignment rules you want to assign to territories. On the page where you assign rules, hover over a
rule name to view its criteria.
Buttons and Links Now Available for Territory Model and Territory Pages
Give your team easy access to territory-related features, tools, and data within Salesforce by defining buttons and links and adding
them to territory model and territory page layouts.
Integrate Territory ID Information from External Systems
Store, search for, and report on territory IDs you maintain in external systems.

Assign Territories to Opportunities More Efficiently (Generally Available)

Filter-Based Opportunity Territory Assignment lets you use a simple job to assign territories to opportunities. We provide code for an
Apex class that you can use as-is or modify as needed based on our guidelines. After you create and deploy the class, run the job to
complete the assignment process. Job options include making assignments within date ranges and assigning territories to open
opportunities only. You can also configure your settings to run the job every time an opportunity is created.
Opportunity territory assignment is enabled for qualified organizations by default.
The Apex class code Salesforce provides assigns territories to opportunities based on a number of factors.
• Is the opportunity excluded from filter-based territory assignment? If so, no territory is assigned.
• Does the opportunity have an account assigned and does that account have a territory assigned from the active territory model? If
so, the account’s territory is assigned to the opportunity. If not, no territory is assigned.
• Does the opportunity’s assigned account have multiple territories from the active model assigned? If so, the job can use a priority
value from the Territory2type object or other criteria to determine which territory (if any) to assign to the opportunity.
For complete instructions on setting up and deploying filter-based opportunity territory assignment, see Enterprise Territory Management
Implementation Guide. For details about the Apex class you need to create and deploy, see New and Changed Apex Classes on page 260.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Enterprise Territory Management

Assign Any Territory to an Opportunity

Now your organization can assign any territory within the active territory model to an opportunity—either manually, from the opportunity
record; automatically, using filter-based opportunity territory assignment; or programmatically, via the API. Your organization is no longer
restricted to assigning only a territory that is also assigned to the opportunity’s account. Manual assignments made by users are controlled
by users’ sharing access to the opportunity’s assigned (parent) account.
When a territory is assigned to an opportunity, that opportunity is shared with all Salesforce users assigned to that territory's parent in
the territory model hierarchy.
For manual territory assignment (from the Territory field on the opportunity record), territory assignment is based on a user’s
sharing access for the opportunity’s account. Users who have sharing access to that account can assign any active territory to the
opportunity. Users who do not can assign only a territory that is also assigned to the opportunity’s account.
For manual territory assignments, Salesforce still suggests opportunities assigned to the territory’s account. Users with sharing access
can search for and assign any territory in the active territory model.

Example: Utel.com has six opportunities and two territories (East Coast and West Coast). They can assign East Coast, West Coast,
or any other territory within the active model to any or all of those six opportunities. One of their sales reps has sharing access to
the account assigned to one of the opportunities, so she can assign any territory to that opportunity. For the other five opportunities,
she does not have sharing access to assigned accounts. So for each of those opportunities, she can only assign a territory that is
already assigned to the opportunity’s assigned account.

Use Chatter to Collaborate on Territory Models

If your organization uses Chatter, your team can now use it to collaborate on territory model development.
After you enable and configure Chatter Feed Tracking, anyone with access to a territory model record can use Chatter to collaborate on
that model. Those who follow the record will get notifications in their own Chatter feeds when model states change and tracked fields

131
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Enterprise Territory Management

are updated. Make sure to tell others who maintain territory models that they can now use Chatter to follow and collaborate on territory
models directly from model records.
For details on enabling the Chatter feed for the Territory Model object, see the Enterprise Territory Management Implementation Guide.

Associate Assignment Rules to Territories More Efficiently

Now it’s easier to choose the assignment rules you want to assign to territories. On the page where you assign rules, hover over a rule
name to view its criteria.

Buttons and Links Now Available for Territory Model and Territory Pages
Give your team easy access to territory-related features, tools, and data within Salesforce by defining buttons and links and adding them
to territory model and territory page layouts.
For more information about working with buttons and links—including more examples—see “Actions, Buttons, and Links Overview”
in the Salesforce Help. When you create a button or link, make sure to add it to your Territory Model or Territory page layouts, as
appropriate. Let your users know it’s there and how to use it.

132
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Collaborative Forecasts

Example: Utel.com’s active territory model includes geo-based, named account, and overlay territories. They have a custom
report that shows territories that have assigned accounts, grouped by Account object’s Billing ZIP/Postal Code field.
Their administrator creates a custom link to that report and adds the link to the Territory page layout. Now, those who manage or
administer territories can quickly access the report and get a list of all territories within a ZIP code, regardless of territory dimension.

Integrate Territory ID Information from External Systems

Store, search for, and report on territory IDs you maintain in external systems.
Enterprise Territory Management now supports the ExternalID type of custom field on the Territory2 object. This means you can create
a custom field that appears on territory records and use that field to store external IDs. Query and report on that field within Salesforce.
For details on creating custom fields, see “Create Custom Fields” and “Custom Field Attributes” in the Salesforce Help. Make sure to add
your custom field to Territory record page layouts, and let your team know how to use it.

Example: For territory modeling purposes, Utel.com maintains some of their territory data in an external system. They create a
custom external ID field to map and track that data within their Salesforce territory records.

On the Forecasts tab, Cumulative Forecast Rollup amounts combine the rollups of opportunities

from multiple forecast categories. These rollups give users a clearer view of their total monthly or
quarterly sales numbers.
Now, you can choose between two methods of rolling up opportunities into forecasts for your sales teams.
• The original method, which rolls up the opportunities from each individual forecast category into separate forecast amounts for each
category.
• The new method, which rolls up opportunities from more than one forecast category into cumulative forecast amounts.

133
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Collaborative Forecasts

When you choose Cumulative Forecast Rollups in Setup, the way opportunities roll up to forecast amounts changes, along with the
names of the columns on the Forecasts tab. See the differences for yourself.

Advantages of Cumulative Forecast Rollups

With individual forecast category rollups, each total and subtotal represents opportunities from only one of the individual forecast
categories. This type of rollup means that if forecast users want to know the total that they’re going to actually bring for the month or
quarter, they need to add the Best Case, Commit, and Closed forecast amounts together themselves.

Example: Individual forecast rollup

Forecast amounts Closed Commit Best Case Pipeline

$50 $100 $150 $200

Opportunities Closed Commit Best Case Pipeline

$50 • $50 • $50 • $50

• $50 • $50 • $50
• $50 • $50
• $50

With Cumulative Forecast Rollups, the forecast columns show cumulative amounts from the opportunities in the named forecast category,
as well as subsequent categories in your sales funnel. This view makes it easier for sales teams to see the total numbers they’re likely to
bring in, saving them from combining the category totals themselves.

134
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Collaborative Forecasts

For example, this table shows the cumulative forecast rollup amounts when there are four Pipeline, three Best Case, two Commit, and
one Closed opportunity, each worth $50.

Example: Cumulative forecast rollup

Forecast amounts Closed Only Commit Forecast Best Case Forecast Open Pipeline

$50 $150 $300 $450

category rollups

The ForecastingItemCategory field differs from the existing ForecastCategoryName field.

• The ForecastCategoryName field represents the forecast category of the underlying opportunities rolling up to forecast
amounts. In organizations using Cumulative Forecast Rollups, the ForecastCategoryName field can be null because the
cumulative forecast amounts include opportunities from multiple forecast categories.
• The new ForecastingItemCategory field represents the type of rollup a forecast amount or adjustment is from. In
organizations using individual forecast category columns, it contains the individual forecast rollup categories. In organizations using
Cumulative Forecast Rollups, it contains the cumulative rollup categories.
When inserting manager or owner adjustments, the values you insert for ForecastCategoryName and
ForecastingItemCategory must be compatible with each other. In organizations using Cumulative Forecast Rollups, the
ForecastCategoryName is nullable. These are the valid pairs.

users’ contacts and events between Exchange-based email systems and Salesforce, and lets sales folks create Salesforce contacts, or
view them and other sales-related records directly in Microsoft® Outlook Web App (OWA) Outlook® 2013.

Exchange Sync (Beta)

Keep the contacts and events in your users’ Exchange-based email systems in sync with contacts and events in Salesforce without asking
users to install and maintain software on their workstations.

Note: Exchange Sync is currently available as a beta feature, which means it’s a high-quality feature with known limitations. Check
out our Exchange Sync Implementation Guide to set up the feature at your company.

Sync All-Day Events with Exchange Sync

Now your users can keep more records in sync between Salesforce and your Microsoft® Exchange-based email system, because Exchange
Sync—our latest cloud-based email integration feature—is syncing all-day events.
If you’ve set up your users to sync events already, you don’t need to enable anything else—all-day events start syncing within 24 hours
of your upgrade to Summer ‘15! To set up event sync for your users, check out “Define Sync Settings for Exchange Sync Users” in the
Exchange Sync Implementation Guide.

Specify the Installation Type for Using the .msi Installer

Important: Before you upgrade users, you may need to uninstall their earlier versions based on our upgrade specifications.
Otherwise, you risk some users having two installations on their systems.
By default, the .msi installer installs v2.8 for everyone who can log in to that computer. But if you want to change that default so that
v2.8 installs for just individual users, you need to install using this command line.
msiexec /i SalesforceForOutlook.msi /log SalesforceForOutlook.log /quiet

We’ve Made Sync Settings Easier for Users to Understand

In users’ Salesforce for Outlook settings, we’ve renamed two key settings to help your users sync their Outlook items with less support
from you. Automatic is now Sync All Outlook Items and Manual is now Sync Only the Outlook Items
I Select.
Users are prompted to review their sync settings when they install, upgrade, or check their settings from their Microsoft® Windows®
system tray by right-clicking the Salesforce for Outlook logo ( ), and then clicking Settings. These sync settings let users choose how
their Microsoft® Outlook® items sync to Salesforce.
Sync All Outlook Items creates the category Don’t Sync with Salesforce for the user in Outlook. Users can add
the category to individual Outlook items to prevent items from syncing to Salesforce. Otherwise, Salesforce for Outlook automatically
syncs all Outlook items that fall within the sync settings you set up in Outlook configurations.
Sync Only the Outlook Items I Select creates the category Sync with Salesforce for the user in Outlook.
Users can add the category to individual Outlook items to sync those items to Salesforce.
Both users who upgrade to Salesforce for Outlook v2.8. and users working in earlier versions of Salesforce for Outlook will see these new
setting names.

Choose the Default Sync Setting and Prevent Users from Changing It
We’ve added two preferences that give you greater control over how users sync their Microsoft® Outlook® items to Salesforce.
When users install or upgrade, Sync Only the Outlook Items I Select is selected by default in their Salesforce for Outlook

Activities
Events and tasks are the building blocks of sales productivity. We’ve made enhancements that boost your sales teams’ edge over the
competition, along with updates to improve performance and usability.
JunctionIdList Fields on Event and Task Objects
Easily and safely create junction relationships using the JunctionIdList field type. With this field type, you’re able to manipulate
the many-to-many relationship of an entity directly, instead of manipulating the underlying junction entity records. With the
JunctionIdList field type, you’re just a single API call away from creating or updating many-to-many simple junction
relationships while preserving data integrity. We’ve implemented JunctionIdList fields in the Event and Task objects. Create
many-to-many relationships on the Event or Task object with contacts, leads, or users in the API. For usage details see, Task Usage

Important: Some JunctionIdList fields are only present when the Shared Activities feature is enabled.

Implement Duplicate Management for Your Custom Applications

Previously, we added a bunch of Apex classes and methods that let you implement duplicate management features for your custom
applications. Now, we’re excited to introduce new data types that let you do the same thing using the SOAP API.
For example, you have a custom application that lets users add a lead. When a user tries to save a lead, you detect whether the record
already exists in Salesforce. If it’s a duplicate, you can display an alert with a list of the duplicates.
For more information on the new duplicate management data types, see New Data Types.

Duplicate Management Available for Organizations with Force.com Licenses

If your organization has users assigned Force.com licenses, you can now control whether your users can create duplicate records.

Turn a Salesforce Record into a Work Item with Service Channels

Service Channels let you turn most Salesforce objects such as a case, lead, SOS session, or even a custom object into a work item.
Omni-Channel then plucks these work items from their Queues—like flowers from the garden of agent productivity—and routes them
to your agents in real time.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Push Work to Qualified, Available Support Agents with
Omni-Channel (Beta)

Define How Work Items Are Pushed to Agents with Routing Configurations
Routing Configurations determine how work items are routed to agents. They let you prioritize the relative importance and size of work
items across your Omni-Channel Queues. Since not all work items take the same amount of effort, use Routing Configurations to control
the relative size of items in your queues so agents can give the right amount of attention to their work. That way, the most important
work items are handled quickly, and work is evenly distributed to your agents.

Assign Users and Routing Configurations to Queues to Start Pushing Work Items to
Agents
Associate routing configurations with a Salesforce Queues. The items in that Queue are pushed to your agents based on the settings in
the Routing Configuration. You can integrate existing Queues into Omni-Channel.

Available? Offline? Busy? Let Agents Define Their Availability with Presence Statuses
Presence Statuses indicate how “present” your agents are to receive work while they’re signed into Omni-Channel. Create statuses to
indicate whether an agent is away or available to receive incoming work items.

158
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Push Work to Qualified, Available Support Agents with
Omni-Channel (Beta)

Presence Statuses are associated with one or more Service Channels. Agents who are signed in with online statuses can receive work
items from those channels. If you have agents who can handle different work items at the same time, those agents can log in with a
Presence Status that’s associated with both of those channels.

Define Agents’ Omni-Channel Settings with Presence Configurations

Presence Configurations determine how much work agents can take on and what Omni-Channel behaviors they can access while they
assist customers. You can have multiple configurations for different types or groups of agents who handle different work. Each agent
can be assigned to only one Presence Configuration. Unless you assign them to another configuration, all your agents are assigned to
the Default Presence Configuration, which Salesforce creates for you automatically to get you started quickly.
Use Presence Configurations to specify your agents’ overall capacity for work items that is, the amount of work an agent can take on at
a time. You can also indicate how agents can interact with work that’s assigned to them, such as whether they can decline assignments.

Maybe you want to take a peek at how your agents are managing their work assignments. Create reports on the Agent Work object to
see how many work items your agents accept and decline, their average speed to answer, or average handle times.

SOS is integrated into the Salesforce console for the Service Cloud. Your agents can access cases, account records, and customer
information quickly and easily during their video calls. Agents can also draw on customers’ screens during an SOS session, giving your
customers in-app guidance to solve their problems. Your customers get a comprehensive, personal support experience, and your agents
have the information they need in the console to solve customer issues.
Even better, SOS is fully integrated into Omni-Channel, the Service Cloud’s routing engine that allows you to customize how work
items—including SOS video calls—are routed to your agents. SOS calls are routed to the most available, capable agents in your
organization in real time. Omni-Channel routing is built right into the Service Cloud and the Salesforce console, so your SOS calls are
routed to your agents automatically—no third-party routing engine required!

A bulk macro must contain at least one Submit Action instruction.

Example: Suppose that your company has a service outage and lots of customers have contacted customer support. You want
support agents to send an email to customers who have opened cases about the outage telling them when the service outage
will end. You can create a bulk macro that uses an email template to create and send an email to these customers. See “Create a

denoted by a green check mark icon. Cases that the macro didn’t run successfully on are highlighted in red and denoted by a red X
icon. To see an explanation about why the macro didn’t work on a case, hover over the red X icon.

Example: Suppose that there’s an increase in customer cases about the same issue. You can use a macro to email these customers,
assuring them that your company is aware of the issue and is working to fix it. Select the cases that you want to apply the macro
to. In each case, the macro applies an email template to a new email, addresses the email to case contact, and sends the email.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Knowledge

In the past, an agent could only attach an article to a case from the Article Search Results list. However, they most often have to drill into
the detail page of the article to determine if it is the right article to attach. If they have to go back to the list, it may be frustrating to
determine which article in the list is the one they were just viewing.
When searching for an article from a case, not in the Service Console, an agent can click Attach to case or Attach and Return to case.

After the agent clicks Attach to case or Attach and Return to case, they become Detach from case and Detach and Return to
case.
When in Service Console, there is only Attach to case. Attach and Return to case is not needed, as you can just go to the case tab in
the Service Console.

You can also detach the article once it is attached in the Service Console.
If the agent initiates the article search from a case, they can attach and detach the article from the article detail view.

Note: These options are not available unless the agent is coming from a case article search. For example, agents must start from
a specific case that they need to attach or detach an article.

Enabling Omni-Channel with Your Existing Live Agent Implementation
So you’ve decided to take your customer service to the next level with Live Agent. That’s great! If you’re already supporting your
customers with Live Agent chat, there are a few things you need to know before you start managing chat traffic with Live Agent in
Omni-Channel.

Transfer a Workspace with a Chat Transfer or Conference

When an agent transfers a chat or starts a conference, any records attached to the chat transcript will now open in the other agent's
workspace when another agent accepts the chat. This way, the agent who accepts the transferred chat has all the information to start
assisting the customer right away, without having to search for related records.
If an agent tries to transfer a chat, but has open records that are unsaved or unattached to the chat transcript, the first agent will be
prompted to save those changes before completing the chat transfer. This way, the agent who accepts the transfer will see the most
up-to-date details about the customer.
For more information on transferring workspaces, see Transfer Chats and “Send a Chat Conferencing Request” in the Salesforce Help.

Conference Multiple Agents into Chats

We’ve delivered one of our most-requested enhancements! You can now include multiple agents in a single chat to help your customers
get the solutions they need more quickly.
If an agent needs extra help solving a customer's problem, the agent can now invite additional agents to join the chat without disrupting
the flow of the conversation. Instead of transferring the chat to another agent (who may or may not be able to solve the customer's
problem), agents can work together in the same chat to assist the customer more efficiently.
Supervisors can also monitor chat conferences in the Supervisor Panel and send whisper messages, just as they can monitor normal
chats.
For more information, see “Chat Conferencing” in the Salesforce Help.

Block Unwelcome Chat Visitors by IP Address

Help your agents avoid troublesome customers by blocking chats from specified IP addresses.
You can enable your agents to block chat requests from specified IP addresses while they work in the console. For example, if a customer
is using abusive language or sending spam messages, the agent can block that user from starting a new chat.
As an administrator, you can block either individual IP addresses or IP ranges on the Block Visitors setup page.
Blocked visitors will see a message indicating that chat isn't available.
If a customer attempts to request a chat from a blocked IP address, the chat won't enter a queue, nor will it be routed to agents. In
addition, you can modify or delete blocking rules.
For more information on blocking chats, see ““Let Your Agents Block Visitors by IP Address” in the Salesforce Help” and “Create an IP
Blocking Rule” in the Salesforce Help.

Updates to Live Agent Browser Support

As Live Agent has gotten bigger and better, certain features won’t work with some versions of IE.
As of Summer ’15, we no longer support Live Agent functionality in the Salesforce console for agents using IE 8 and below.
Also with Summer '15, we no longer support customer-facing functionality on IE 6 or IE 7. Don’t worry—we won’t prevent functionality
from working, we’re just no longer fixing bugs and issues related to those browser versions. Additionally, we don’t support animations
for automatic chat invitations on versions below IE 10 (due to browser version limitations).
For more information, see Supported Browsers on page 45.

Automatically Set Agents’ Status to Away When a Chat Request Times Out
It’s hard to believe, but sometimes agents forget to update their status! We added a new option that lets you set your agents' Live Agent
status to Away automatically when a chat request that's been assigned to them times out. This can help you improve your chat routing
by removing unavailable agents from the queue.
Previously, you could only set agents' status to Away automatically if they declined a chat, using the Auto Away on Decline feature. Now,
in addition to the Auto Away on Decline feature, we added the ability to set agents' status to Away if they don't respond to a request
within the time specified by the Push Time-Out setting.
This option applies only when agents are assigned to chat buttons or invitations that use push routing. This option isn't available if your
organization uses Choice routing to route chats to your agents.
The Auto Away feature works only on chats that are routed through the Live Agent footer widget. It's not supported in the new
Omni-Channel widget.
For more information on Push Time-Out, see “Live Agent Configuration Settings” in the Salesforce Help.

New Button Lets Customers Cancel a Pending Chat Request

Your customers now have a button to cancel a chat request while they're waiting in a queue. When a customer clicks the Cancel button,
the chat ends immediately, which improves accuracy of the Abandoned After time.
Your customers can now cancel a chat request while they're waiting in a queue by clicking Cancel Chat. When they cancel the chat,
Live Agent:
• Removes the chat from the queue.
• Logs a Canceled by Visitor transcript event, recording when the customer clicked Cancel.
• Logs a Visitor Left transcript event, recording when the customer abandoned the chat.

176
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Live Agent

• Logs the time in the transcript's Abandoned After field.

You can even customize the Cancel Chat button in your custom chat window with the <liveAgent:clientChatCancelButton>
Visualforce component.

Extreme Makeover: Live Agent Edition

Live Agent has a fresh look to help you read chats and find actions faster.
A few highlights:
• Different-colored text backgrounds to help you distinguish each participant in the chat.
• A rearranged interaction pane, bringing the most-used actions closer to the left.
• Updated icons and colors on the chat tabs.
• Shortened tab text to help you quickly tell chats apart.
(Don’t worry, there aren’t any functional changes with this visual update, so all your agents’ tools work the same.)

As you know, Live Agent is powered by Live Agent Configurations, which control the behaviors in: Enterprise, Performance,

Configurations to control the behaviors and settings that are available to Omni-Channel users. You Editions
can integrate Live Agent with Omni-Channel. That way, chats are routed just like other work items,
and your agents are able to accept or reject chat requests from the Omni-Channel widget. In that EDITIONS
case, your Live Agent users also become Omni-Channel users, so your chat agents need to be

widget in the console right away.

Post to Cases or Community Questions in the Console

The Community action in the case feed makes it easy for agents make Chatter posts on cases, answer community questions, and
adjust the visibility of posts.

Note: Prior to Summer ‘15, agents used the Community action to make case comments and specified who could see the
comment by selecting Customer or Everyone.
Posting on a case with the Community action makes the post visible to all internal and external users with access to the case:

If a case originates from a question in the community, the Community action displays two options:
• Select Customer Case to make a post visible to all internal and external users with access to the case.
• Select Community Question to post a public answer on the community user’s question.

Note: You can still use the Post, File, and Link actions in the console to communicate with external users on a case. Just be
sure to select All with Access in the audience drop-down menu.
Edit the Visibility of Published Case Posts
When necessary, agents can change the external visibility of a published text, link, or file post on a case. This option is available only
if the compact case feed is enabled.

In the post’s drop-down menu in the compact case feed, agents can select Make Public to make an internal post visible to external
users with access to a case. Conversely, selecting Make Private makes a post visible to internal users only. Making a post private
means a customer no longer sees the post in their case feed. However, keep in mind that the customer could have been notified by
email when it was first posted.
To edit Chatter posts on a case, agents need the “Edit My Own Posts” and “Edit Posts on Records I Own” user permissions.

contact, and any partners.
You can write an Apex trigger to set the visibility of case emails to external users who have access to the case, regardless of whether
you’ve enabled the community case feed. The IsExternallyVisible field of the EmailMessage object controls the visibility
of email messages. When the field is set to true—its default value—email messages are visible to external users. To hide case emails

days. The number must be greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3000.
Use Person Accounts
Assign a person account of the selected type for the social persona parent record.
Create Case for Post Tags
Override the social hub’s case creation rules and create a case when selected post tags are present on a social post. Post Tags are
used to answer the question "What is the topic of this one post?". Post tags, set in Social Studio (Radian6) Social Hub, help to provide
further context to what the individual post is about.

Improved Twitter Direct Message Experience

Agents now have better information when they switch from a public to private Twitter conversation.
Direct messaging is the best practice for exchanging non-public information with a customer on social networks. Agents can transition
from public to private conversations on Twitter easily; increasing productivity and decreasing errors, creating smoother conversations
with customers and better service experiences.

188
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Social Customer Service

On Twitter, two parties must be mutually following each other. The new Social action shows agents if one or both of the parties need
to follow the other. This help agents follow and request to be followed and, therefore, direct message more efficiently.

Case Creation Option with the Starter Pack

If you use the Starter Pack, you can now control which social accounts create cases on each inbound social post.
Not all posts require a case, for example, a complimentary tweet or post does not need agent assistance. The full Social Customer Service
version allows administrators to control which posts create cases in the Social Studio (Radian6) Social Hub. Now, Starter Pack administrators
can decide whether they want cases created automatically or not when posts come from a particular social account.

For example, if you have two Twitter handles, one for support and one for marketing or brand-focused information, you can have cases
created automatically only from the support handle. The tweets from the marketing handle go in a social post queue for review. See
“Managing Social Posts” in the Salesforce Help.

Additional Social Post Fields

If you are using the full Social Customer Service version, not the Starter Pack, and classifiers in Social Studio (Radian6) Social Hub, four
more fields are available on the social post object: Analyzer Score, Language, Classification, and Engagement Level.

189
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Social Customer Service

Analyzer Score
Analyzer Score lets you score the relevance and importance of a social post. You can set up your own custom relevancy system using
all the conditions available in the Social Hub including number of followers, strong wording, library and proximity. You then define
and weigh each of your criteria, add and subtract to a score you associate to the post. Once in Salesforce, agents can make routing
and priority decisions based on this score.
Language
Language identifies which language the social post is written in.
Classification
Classification helps answer the question: “Why are they posting?” and separates posts into themes.
Engagement Level
Engagement level reflects the workflow status of the post at the time it was sent.
With these fields, agents have the information they need to route social posts and cases to the correct teams. You can also customize
your Apex class to assign cases appropriately.

Delete Outbound Posts on Google+ and Sina Weibo (Pilot)

Agents can now delete outbound comments in Google+ and Sina Weibo.

Note: Google+ and Sina Weibo for Social Customer Service are currently available to select customers through a pilot program.
To be nominated to join this pilot program, contact Salesforce. Additional terms and conditions may apply to participate in the
pilot program. Please note that pilot programs are subject to change, and as such, we cannot guarantee acceptance into this pilot

You can now delete and clear error posts to ensure your Social Hub rules continue to process other inbound posts.

In Social Customer Service Settings, on the Error Log tab, you can click Delete All to clear the error log and keep future posts processing.

Improved Inbound Processing

Inbound posts that encounter errors are now automatically retried once, and when processing child posts, Salesforce checks to ensure
that parent posts are present before child posts are written as records.
These improvements decrease error states and confusing post ordering problems that need intervention, saving time and increasing
Social Customer Service performance.

Other Changes for Social Customer Service

Learn about other changes that affect your Social Customer Service users.
External Communities Users Can View Social Posts
Administrators can now give social post read access to external community and portal users, giving their customers a complete
history of their cases directly in the community. There are three requirements to make social posts available in communities and
portals.
1. Ensure the user has access to cases in the community.
2. Give users read permission to social posts on their profiles.
3. On your organization’s Social Post object, enable visibility to individual fields through the field level security settings.

Note: Once these requirements are met, external users can see all social posts exposed to them. For example, if a case or lead
feed is exposed externally, all social posts in the feed are visible. There is currently no way to limit visibility at the social post
object level.

and is not updateable. Social personas created prior to Summer 15 do not have this field.

Note: If your organization uses custom Apex, you need to update it to use this field. Keep in mind that personas created
before the Summer 15 release do not have the field.
New Functionalilty for Quoted Tweets.
Quoted Tweets have two parts: the original source tweet and the added comments by the retweeter. Salesforce can match by
keyword on both the original tweet and the retweet comments. However, currently only the retweeter's comments are visible in
Social Customer Service. Therefore, it is possible for an agent to receive a quoted tweet to work on for no obvious reason, and the
agent must view the post natively on the Twitter website to get the full context.
Longer Twitter Direct Messages
You can now send direct message of up to 10000 characters. That’s equivalent to a seven-page essay.

The following actions on supported metadata aren’t synced and must be repeated in both organizations:
• Creating or updating metadata in the secondary organization
• Deleting metadata in either organization
For example, if a user in the primary organization creates or updates a permission set, the change is applied to the secondary organization
within 24 hours. However, if the permission set is updated in the secondary organization, the update doesn’t flow back to the primary
organization, and the update in the secondary organization is overwritten in the next sync.
Customers can opt to sync metadata by selecting the Sync Metadata option when setting up a replication connection. For customers
with existing replication connections, this option is on the Connection Detail page of your connection. See “Duplicate Your Metadata”
in the Salesforce Help to learn best practices for syncing metadata.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Improve Your Service Cloud Implementation with Code:
Introducing the Service Cloud Cookbook

Auto-Published Fields
If you publish an object to the linked organization in your replication connection, that object’s fields are automatically published.
You can still edit which fields are published via the Connection Detail page. This change just saves you some clicking time. The
following field types aren’t supported:
• Rich text area (RTA) fields
• Formula fields
• Roll-up summary fields
• Fields that have a lookup to an unpublished object

Note: This change doesn’t apply to standard Salesforce to Salesforce connections.

Automatic User Sync

Users are now automatically synced in Organization Sync. As soon as you create a replication connection, all users with Standard
user licenses are copied to the secondary organization. When a user is created, updated, or deactivated, that change is automatically
applied to both organizations.

Note: If you choose not to sync metadata in Organization Sync, add users to the secondary organization by clicking Bulk
Sync Users at the top of the Connection Detail page.
Create Triggers and Reports for the Organization Sync Log
The Organization Sync Log lists data and metadata that failed to sync. You can write Apex triggers for the log to notify you or others
about log entries. For example:
• Write a trigger that emails the administrator if more than 10 new entries appeared in the log in the past 24 hours.
• If an entry appears in the log for an account, trigger a workflow rule that flags the account with a “Needs Review” flag.
To create triggers for the Organization Sync Log, from Setup, select Salesforce to Salesforce > Org Sync Log > Triggers.
You can also create custom report types to monitor the health of your Organization Sync environment. Use the Org Sync Log object
as the primary object or as the secondary object to any object supported in Organization Sync (for example, Accounts or Contacts).
For example:
• Create a custom report on the Case object that shows all log entries for records related to a case in the last month.
• Create a dashboard with reports that show:
– The number of log entries in the past 24 hours
– The number of log entries by field type

Note: Because the log displays outgoing syncing failures, the same report shows different results depending on which
organization you’re working in.

Ensure that your feed posts are accurate and up-to-date with feed post editing.
Now your users can edit their own feed posts. Record owners can edit any post on records they own, no matter who created the post.
Administrators can edit posts and grant editing rights to specific individuals. We added two profile permissions and an option in Chatter
Settings that let administrators control which users can edit posts and comments.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Feeds

Use the Allow users to edit posts and comments option in Chatter Settings to enable or disable the Edit Feed Post
feature for your organization. This option is enabled by default. All users that are assigned a standard profile can edit their own posts
and comments immediately, except for Chatter Free, Chatter External, and Customer Portal users. For users that are assigned custom
profiles, enable the permissions in their custom profile or permission sets.
The “Edit My Own Posts” permission allows users to edit their own posts. This permission is enabled on standard profiles, except Chatter
External, Chatter Free, and Customer Portal User profiles. To allow Chatter External, Chatter Free, or Custom Portal users to edit their own
posts, clone the profiles and enable the “Edit My Own Posts” permission in the enhanced user profile interface. Assign the cloned profiles
to the users.
The “Edit Posts on Records I Own” permission allows users to edit posts and comments on records they own, including other people’s
posts and comments. For example, a group owner or manager can edit all posts on the group’s feed. A manager for a particular record
type can edit all posts on the record. This permission is available on standard and custom profiles, but it is disabled by default.
This table summarizes the user permissions and their default settings.

After users save their edited version of the post, it shows an Edited time stamp to indicate that the original post was modified.

If users edit a post or comment and mention new people or groups, those people and groups receive email notifications. People and
groups who were mentioned in the original post or comment don’t receive a new email notification. Email notifications for edited posts
or comments show the Edited time stamp.
The Edit option isn’t available on posts with link or file attachments and system-generated posts like feed tracked record updates. For
community users, feed post editing is only available if the community was created using Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce or the Napili

Manage Which Custom Object Records Can Be Added to Groups

Starting with Summer ’15, you can choose which custom object records users can add to groups. Previously, all custom object records
were allowed. This feature gives you more control over the type and number of custom object records that users can add to groups
going forward.
For each custom object you want to manage, select the Allow in Chatter Groups option on the custom object detail page, under
Optional Features.

Note: Custom object records added to a group prior to Summer ’15 won’t be removed and will continue to appear in the Group
Records list. Be sure to enable this feature for each existing custom object that you want to allow in groups.

Group Information Field Now Allows 4000 Characters

The character limit for the Information field in groups is 4,000 characters. The previous limit was 1,000 characters.
This increase in characters allows you to share more information with group members and nonmembers looking for details on the group
page.

Unlisted Groups Allow Non-Unique Names

For increased privacy and security, you no longer need to use unique names for unlisted groups. Public and private groups must continue
to use unique names.
Previously, if users tried to create a group with the same name as an unlisted group, they would be asked to use a different and unique
name, and would inadvertently discover the name of an unlisted group they don’t have access to. To prevent this, we no longer require
unique names for unlisted groups. This is important for group names that contain sensitive information, such as Acme Merger.

Group Email Enhancements

Email notifications from groups have been upgraded to use FreeMarker Template Language with some formatting improvements.

coordinated with group digests.

Note: This release contains a beta version of unified user digest that is production quality but has known limitations. For information
on enabling this feature for your organization, contact Salesforce.
The unified user digest gives your users:
• A new format that’s easier to read on mobile devices
• Posts organized by priority so the most critical information comes first
• Posts organized under their parent group or object
• Group pictures for easier recognition
• Field values on records to summarize the status of the account, contact, case, or custom object
• Reduced overlap with group digests by excluding posts already included in group digests
Contact your account executive or open a case with Support to enable the unified user digest beta. After it’s enabled, go to Setup and
click Customize > Chatter > Email Settings and select Enable User Digest Beta.
The unified user digest uses an object’s primary compact layout to determine which fields are displayed. In most cases, the System
Default compact layout contains the most useful set of fields, but you can improve the user experience by creating a custom compact
layout and setting it as the primary. We recommend limiting the total number of fields to four or fewer. Users see only fields that they
have access to. Note the following field value limitations:
• Field values are not localized
• Some data types, such as checkboxes, are not rendered optimally
For more information, see Compact Layout Overview in the Salesforce Help.

Tip: Enabling the beta doesn’t change users’ email settings. To take advantage of the beta and to streamline email volume for
your users, we recommend:
• Setting the personal digest frequency to daily
• Changing daily and weekly group digests to never
• Keeping email on each post group digests the same

Deployment: Better Sandbox Performance, Testing, Migration

You now have new ways to deploy changes to your organization.

IN THIS SECTION:
Improved Sandbox Copy Engine for Full Sandboxes (Generally Available)
We’ve rebuilt our sandbox copy engine to optimize performance, scalability, and customer success. The new engine impacts Full
sandboxes as they are created and existing Full sandboxes as they are refreshed.
Match Production Licenses to Sandbox without a Refresh
You can match provisioned licenses in production to your sandbox organization without having to refresh your sandbox, saving you
time.
Change Sets
The Flow Definition component replaces the Flow component, which is no longer listed.
General Deployment Enhancements
Deployment enhancements shorten your deployment times to production and give you more control over test execution in sandbox
deployments. Also, the Force.com Migration Tool has expanded support for deploying recent validations and canceling deployments.
These deployment enhancements don’t apply to change sets.

Improved Sandbox Copy Engine for Full Sandboxes (Generally Available)

We’ve rebuilt our sandbox copy engine to optimize performance, scalability, and customer success.
EDITIONS
The new engine impacts Full sandboxes as they are created and existing Full sandboxes as they
are refreshed. Available in:
Several enhancements to the copy engine make sandbox creation and refresh faster and minimize • Enterprise
sandbox inconsistencies. These improvements are available on a rolling basis during the Summer • Performance
’15 release. • Unlimited
• Database.com
Intelligent Routing
The copy engine selects the best instance for your sandbox based on available storage space,
CPU consumption, and import activity on each sandbox instance.
New Data Copy Framework
The copy engine divides your organization’s data into small chunks for exporting and copying to the sandbox. Copying is faster,
because chunks are processed in parallel. Importing begins as soon as the first data chunk is exported. Export and import are
independent, so the system is robust and flexible.

209
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Match Production Licenses to Sandbox without a Refresh

New Post-Copy Framework

If a production organization changes during sandbox creation or refresh, the sandbox can contain data inconsistencies. The new
automated post-copy process quickly fixes these inconsistencies after copying is complete and tracks the fixes.
Progress Tracking
You can monitor the progress of your sandbox creation or refresh. From Setup, click Sandboxes or Data Management > Sandboxes
to view a list of your sandboxes. The list displays a progress bar for sandboxes in the queue, in process, or recently completed. Hover
over the progress bar to view the percentage completed of a copy in progress. Click a name to go to a detail page showing information
about the sandbox, including how much time before the next available refresh. If your sandbox is suspended or stopped for more
than 1 hour, contact Salesforce Customer Support.

IdeaExchange: Sandbox Refresh Progress

Match Production Licenses to Sandbox without a Refresh

You can match provisioned licenses in production to your sandbox organization without having
EDITIONS
to refresh your sandbox, saving you time.
Matching updates sandbox license counts to match the counts in production, adds licenses that Available in:
are in production but not in sandbox, and deletes licenses that aren’t in production. • Enterprise
• Performance
To match licenses to a sandbox organization, log in to your sandbox. From Setup, click Company • Unlimited
Profile > Company Information > Match Production Licenses. You get an alert when the
matching process has started. After all licenses have been matched in sandbox, you receive a
confirmation email. The confirmation email is sent to the user who initiates the license copy.
Matching production licenses requires that your sandbox and production organizations are on the same Salesforce release. If your
sandbox has been upgraded to the next release—for example, during sandbox preview—but your production organization hasn't, you
can't match production licenses.
The Match Production Licenses tool isn’t available in trial organizations. To use the tool, you must have the “Modify All Data” permission.

General Deployment Enhancements

Deployment enhancements shorten your deployment times to production and give you more
EDITIONS
control over test execution in sandbox deployments. Also, the Force.com Migration Tool has
expanded support for deploying recent validations and canceling deployments. These deployment Available in:
enhancements don’t apply to change sets. • Enterprise
See related Metadata API changes in Metadata Types and Fields. • Performance
• Unlimited
• Developer
IN THIS SECTION:
Choose Which Tests to Run in a Deployment
Test levels enable you to have more control over which tests are run in a deployment. To shorten deployment time to production,
run a subset of tests when deploying Apex components. The default test execution behavior in production has also changed. By
default, if no test level is specified, no tests are executed, unless your deployment package contains Apex classes or triggers.
Run Local Tests in a Sandbox Deployment
You can now choose which tests to run in sandbox deployments to match the test run behavior in production. Previously, if you
enabled tests in your sandbox deployment, you couldn’t exclude managed package tests.
Force.com Migration Tool Enhancements
The Force.com Migration Tool has been enhanced to support deploying recent validations, canceling a deployment, and authenticating
with a session ID.

Choose Which Tests to Run in a Deployment

Test levels enable you to have more control over which tests are run in a deployment. To shorten deployment time to production, run
a subset of tests when deploying Apex components. The default test execution behavior in production has also changed. By default, if
no test level is specified, no tests are executed, unless your deployment package contains Apex classes or triggers.
As part of this change, the runAllTests deployment option is now replaced with testLevel. You can choose which tests to
run in a deployment by setting the desired test level. For a description of all test levels, see test levels for the deploy() call. In particular,
to run a subset of tests in a deployment, set testLevel to the RunSpecifiedTests value and specify the tests to run in the
runTests option.
When running a subset of tests, code coverage is computed for each class and trigger individually and is different than the overall
coverage percentage. If your deployment package contains Apex classes and triggers, the executed tests must cover each class and
trigger for a minimum of 75% code coverage.
If the code coverage of an Apex component in the deployment is less than 75%, the deployment fails. If one of the specified tests fails,
the deployment also fails. We recommend that you test your deployment in sandbox first to ensure that the specified tests cover each
component sufficiently. Even if your organization’s overall code coverage is 75% or more, the individual coverage of the Apex components
being deployed can be less. If the code coverage requirement isn’t met, write more tests and include them in the deployment.
This change is in the Metadata API and is exposed in tools that are based on Metadata API, such as the Force.com Migration Tool.

Specify Tests in the Force.com Migration Tool

To run a subset of tests in the Force.com Migration Tool, add the testLevel="RunSpecifiedTests" parameter to the deploy
target. Specify each test class to run for a deploy target in a <runTest> </runTest> child element within the sf:deploy
element. Add the test class name within the <runTest> </runTest> tags. Add as many runTest tags as you need, one for
each test class.

211
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes General Deployment Enhancements

This deploy target example shows three test classes. Salesforce runs these test classes when deploying this package.
<target name="deployCode">
<sf:deploy username="${sf.username}" password="${sf.password}"
sessionId="${sf.sessionId}" serverurl="${sf.serverurl}"
deployroot="codepkg" testLevel="RunSpecifiedTests">
<runTest>TestClass1</runTest>
<runTest>TestClass2</runTest>
<runTest>TestClass3</runTest>
</sf:deploy>
</target>

Specify Tests in Metadata API

To run a subset of tests by using the Metadata API, set the RunSpecifiedTests test level on the DeployOptions object.
Next, specify each test class to run in DeployOptions. Finally, pass DeployOptions as an argument to the deploy() call.
The following example performs those steps to run only the specified test classes.
// Create the DeployOptions object.
DeployOptions deployOptions = new DeployOptions();

// Set the appropriate test level.

deployOptions.setTestLevel(TestLevel.RunSpecifiedTests);

// Specify the test classes to run.

// String array contains test class names.
String[] tests = {"TestClass1", "TestClass2", "TestClass3"};
// Add the test class names array to the deployment options.
deployOptions.setRunTests(tests);

// Call deploy() by passing the deployment options object as an argument.

AsyncResult asyncResult = metadatabinding.deploy(zipBytes,deployOptions);

Considerations for Running Specific Tests

• You can only specify test classes. You can’t specify individual test methods.
• We recommend that you refactor test classes to include the minimum number of tests that meet code coverage requirements.
Refactoring your test classes can contribute to shorter test execution times, and as a result, shorter deployment times.
• You can deactivate a trigger in the target organization by deploying it with an inactive state. However, the trigger must have been
previously deployed with an active state.

Default Test Execution in Production

When no test level is specified in the deployment options, the default test execution behavior depends on the contents of your deployment
package. When deploying to production, all tests, except those that originate from managed packages, are executed if your deployment
package contains Apex classes or triggers. If your package doesn’t contain Apex components, no tests are run by default.
In API version 33.0 and earlier, tests were run for components that required tests, such as custom objects, and not only for Apex
components. For example, if your package contains a custom object, all tests are run in API version 33.0 and earlier. In contrast, starting
with API version 34.0, no tests are run for this package. The API version corresponds to the version of your API client or the version of the
tool you’re using (Force.com Migration Tool).

212
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes General Deployment Enhancements

You can run tests for a deployment of non-Apex components. You can override the default test execution behavior by setting the test
level in your deployment options. Test levels are enforced regardless of the types of components present in your deployment package.
We recommend that you run all local tests in your development environment, such as sandbox, prior to deploying to production. Running
tests in your development environment reduces the amount of tests needed to run in a production deployment.

Run Local Tests in a Sandbox Deployment

You can now choose which tests to run in sandbox deployments to match the test run behavior in production. Previously, if you enabled
tests in your sandbox deployment, you couldn’t exclude managed package tests.
As part of this change, the runAllTests deployment option has been replaced with testLevel. For a description of all test
levels that you can use in your development environment, see test levels for the deploy() call. For example, to run local tests in a
deployment and to exclude managed package tests, set testLevel to the RunLocalTests value.

Note: The RunLocalTests test level is enforced regardless of the contents of the deployment package. In contrast, tests are
executed by default in production only if your deployment package contains Apex classes or triggers. You can use
RunLocalTests for sandbox and production deployments.
If you’re using the Force.com Migration Tool, add the testLevel="RunLocalTests" parameter to the deploy target, as shown
in this example.
<target name="deployCode">
<sf:deploy username="${sf.username}" password="${sf.password}"
sessionId="${sf.sessionId}" serverurl="${sf.serverurl}"
deployroot="codepkg" testLevel="RunLocalTests">
</sf:deploy>
</target>

If you’re using Metadata API, set the test level on the DeployOptions object to TestLevel.RunLocalTests and then pass
this object as an argument to the deploy() call as follows.
// Create the DeployOptions object.
DeployOptions deployOptions = new DeployOptions();

// Set the appropriate test level.

deployOptions.setTestLevel(TestLevel.RunLocalTests);

// Call deploy() by passing the deployment options object as an argument.

AsyncResult asyncResult = metadatabinding.deploy(zipBytes,deployOptions);

Force.com Migration Tool Enhancements

The Force.com Migration Tool has been enhanced to support deploying recent validations, canceling a deployment, and authenticating
with a session ID.
Deploy a Recent Validation
To deploy a recent validation, add the <sf:deployRecentValidation> task to your target and specify the validation ID
in the recentValidationId parameter. The validation must have run successfully within the last four days. For more information,
see Quick Deployments in the Salesforce Help.
<target name="quickDeploy">
<sf:deployRecentValidation username="${sf.username}" password="${sf.password}"
sessionId="${sf.sessionId}" serverurl="${sf.serverurl}"
maxPoll="${sf.maxPoll}"

213

recentValidationId="${sf.recentValidationId}"/>
</target>

Support for <sf:deployRecentValidation> starts with version 34.0 of the Force.com Migration Tool.
Cancel a Deployment
You can now cancel a deployment that’s in progress or queued with the Force.com Migration Tool. To do so, add the
<sf:cancelDeploy> task to your target. Specify the ID of the deployment in the requestId parameter.

<target name="cancelDeploy">
<sf:cancelDeploy username="${sf.username}" password="${sf.password}"
sessionId="${sf.sessionId}" serverurl="${sf.serverurl}"
maxPoll="${sf.maxPoll}
requestId="${sf.deployRequestId}"/>
</target>

Support for sf:cancelDeploy starts with version 34.0 of the Force.com Migration Tool.
Use a Session ID for Authentication
When you run the Force.com Migration Tool to perform a migration, you can authenticate with a session ID instead of a username
and password. Using session ID authentication provides more flexibility. The Force.com Migration Tool build.properties
file has been updated to include the sf.sessionId property. Similarly, the sample targets in the build.xml file have been
updated to include the sessionId parameter.
To use the session ID for authentication, uncomment this property in build.properties and add a value for the session ID.
In addition, comment out the sf.username and sf.password property pair. Both properties can’t be present at the same
time. The following is the session ID property in build.properties.
sf.sessionId = <Insert your Salesforce session ID here.>

This sample target contains the <sf:deploy> task with the sessionId parameter.
<target name="deployZip">
<sf:deploy username="${sf.username}" password="${sf.password}"
sessionId="${sf.sessionId}"
serverurl="${sf.serverurl}" maxPoll="${sf.maxPoll}"
zipFile="${sf.zipFile}" pollWaitMillis="1000"
rollbackOnError="true"/>
</target>

Support for session ID authentication is available in all new versions of the Force.com Migration Tool and in older versions since
version 17.0.

Collaborate more effectively and improve processes by sharing data across your Salesforce
organizations. Provide users with a seamless view of data in your other organizations so that
they have a complete view of the business. Setting up the Salesforce adapter for Lightning
Connect is quick and easy with point-and-click tools.
Access Any Data Anywhere with the Lightning Connector Apex Framework
Use the Apex Connector Framework to develop your own custom adapter when the other available Lightning Connect adapters
aren’t suitable for your needs. The custom adapter can retrieve data from external systems and synthesize data locally. Lightning
Connect then represents that data in Salesforce external objects, which your users and the Force.com platform interact with.
Access Government and Health Data with the OData 2.0 Adapter for Lightning Connect
Lightning Connect can now access data from endpoints that are backed by Socrata Open Data Portal™. Socrata Open Data Portal is
commonly used for sharing health data and for collaboration between governments and their citizens.
Increased Limits for the OData 2.0 Adapter for Lightning Connect
We doubled a few of our limits to let you integrate with even more external systems.
Enable Server-Driven Paging for an External Data Source
It's common for Lightning Connect queries of external data to have a large result set that's broken into smaller batches or pages.
Enable server-driven paging to let the external system control the page sizes and batch boundaries. You can optimize the external
system’s paging settings to provide data to your organization more efficiently than client-driven paging.
Control Whether to Request Total Row Counts in OData Queries
Some external systems don’t support the $inlinecount=allpages system query option. When you try to access their data
via the OData 2.0 adapter for Lightning Connect, you receive errors or notice long load times. If needed, you can now exclude that
system query option from OData queries for a specified external data source.
Customize Search Layouts with the Name Field for External Objects
Previously, you couldn't change whether or where a search layout included the name field for an external object. Now you can
customize your search layouts to display an external object’s name field in a specified position.
View Names of Parent Records in Lookup Relationship Fields on External Objects
Previously, a lookup relationship field on an external object record displayed the record ID of the parent record. Now the lookup
relationship field displays the parent record name, which is more relevant to your users.
Removed Select All Checkbox for Syncing an External Data Source
Many administrators accidentally reached the organization limit of 100 external objects because they selected all the tables that
were available for syncing from the external system. Now, when you click Validate and Sync on an external data source, select
each table that you want to sync. The checkbox for selecting all tables is no longer available.

Access Data Across Multiple Organizations with the Lightning Connect Salesforce
Connector
Collaborate more effectively and improve processes by sharing data across your Salesforce organizations. Provide users with a seamless
view of data in your other organizations so that they have a complete view of the business. Setting up the Salesforce adapter for Lightning
Connect is quick and easy with point-and-click tools.
The Salesforce adapter for Lightning Connect uses the Force.com REST API to access the data in other organizations. Your users and the
Force.com platform interact with the other organizations’ data via external objects. See the Salesforce Help for details about the Salesforce
adapter for Lightning Connect.

Example: Suppose you store your inventory of products in one Salesforce organization. Perhaps you want your regional and
local branch offices, who have their own organizations, to see the latest information about your stock. With the Salesforce adapter
for Lightning Connect, those other organizations can easily access your data while respecting access restrictions that you control.

Access Any Data Anywhere with the Lightning Connector Apex Framework
Use the Apex Connector Framework to develop your own custom adapter when the other available Lightning Connect adapters aren’t
suitable for your needs. The custom adapter can retrieve data from external systems and synthesize data locally. Lightning Connect then
represents that data in Salesforce external objects, which your users and the Force.com platform interact with.
The data that you expose as external objects from Apex can come from anywhere. For example:
• Retrieve data via Apex callouts, Web service callouts, SOQL, and SOSL
• Manipulate or generate data programmatically
To create a custom adapter for Lightning Connect, create two Apex classes.
1. Create a DataSource.Connection class that accesses the external system with these methods.
• sync obtains the metadata schema of the external system so that the administrator can select which external tables to convert
into Salesforce external objects.
• query obtains data from the external system when a user views an external object in Salesforce or when a SOQL query is
executed on an external object.
• search obtains data from the external system when a user performs a Salesforce global search or when a SOSL query is
executed on an external object.

2. Create a DataSource.Provider class that declares:

• The types of authentication that can be used to access the external system, such as OAuth or basic password authentication
• The functional capabilities that the external system supports, such as SOQL queries, search and SOSL queries, total row counts,
or server-driven paging
• Whether the external data source requires an endpoint URL
• Whether the endpoint URL must start with https://
• The associated DataSource.Connection class

Once your Apex classes compile correctly, define the external data source. For the Type field, select the DataSource.Provider
class name. Then sync to create the external objects and enable user access.

Note: See the following documents for details about Lightning Connect custom adapters and the Apex Connector Framework.
Some of this documentation is available only in English until Winter ’16.

• “DataSource Namespace” in the Force.com Apex Code Developer’s Guide

Example: These sample classes illustrate how to use a callout and OAuth to access an external system. In a real-world
implementation, you’d request offline access when setting up OAuth so that Salesforce can obtain and maintain a refresh token
for your connections.

Access Government and Health Data with the OData 2.0 Adapter for Lightning Connect
Lightning Connect can now access data from endpoints that are backed by Socrata Open Data Portal™. Socrata Open Data Portal is
commonly used for sharing health data and for collaboration between governments and their citizens.
External data sources of type “Lightning Connect: OData 2.0” now have a Special Compatibility field. If you set this field to
Socrata, Lightning Connect adjusts how it accesses the external data to accommodate Socrata-specific requirements. See “Socrata™
Considerations for Lightning Connect—OData 2.0 Adapter” in the Salesforce Help.

Increased Limits for the OData 2.0 Adapter for Lightning Connect
We doubled a few of our limits to let you integrate with even more external systems.

Previous Limit New Limit

Maximum HTTP request size for OData 4 MB 8 MB

Maximum HTTP response size for OData 4 MB 8 MB

Maximum OData result set size 8 MB 16 MB

Enable Server-Driven Paging for an External Data Source

It's common for Lightning Connect queries of external data to have a large result set that's broken into smaller batches or pages. Enable
server-driven paging to let the external system control the page sizes and batch boundaries. You can optimize the external system’s
paging settings to provide data to your organization more efficiently than client-driven paging.
The external system’s paging settings can optimize the external system’s performance and improve the load times for external objects
in your organization. Also, the external data set can change while your users or the Force.com platform are paging through the result
set. Typically, server-driven paging adjusts batch boundaries to accommodate changing data sets more effectively than client-driven
paging.
When you enable server-driven paging on an external data source, the external system ignores any specified batch or page sizes in
queries. How you enable server-driven paging depends on the Lightning Connect adapter.
• The Salesforce adapter always uses server-driven paging.
• To enable server-driven paging for the OData 2.0 adapter, select Server Driven Pagination on the external data source.
By default, the OData 2.0 adapter uses client-driven paging, specifically by using the $top and $skip system query options in
OData requests.

• To enable server-driven paging for custom adapters, which you create with the Apex Connector Framework, declare the
QUERY_PAGINATION_SERVER_DRIVEN capability on the getCapabilities method in the adapter’s
DataSource.Provider class. Also, the Apex code must generate a query token for fetching the next batch of results.
By default, custom adapters don’t automatically support paging of any kind. If you can’t implement server-driven paging, implement
client-driven paging by using LIMIT and OFFSET clauses to page through result sets. For more information about custom
adapters, see Access Any Data Anywhere with the Lightning Connector Apex Framework on page 220.

Control Whether to Request Total Row Counts in OData Queries

Some external systems don’t support the $inlinecount=allpages system query option. When you try to access their data via
the OData 2.0 adapter for Lightning Connect, you receive errors or notice long load times. If needed, you can now exclude that system
query option from OData queries for a specified external data source.
By default, Salesforce sends each OData request with the $inlinecount=allpages system query option. The response then
includes the total row count after applying the $filter system query options that were in the request.
To disable $inlinecount=allpages, deselect Request Row Counts on the external data source. If you do so, however,
the external data source and its associated external objects don’t support the SOQL COUNT() aggregate function, which requires the
total row count.

Customize Search Layouts with the Name Field for External Objects
Previously, you couldn't change whether or where a search layout included the name field for an external object. Now you can customize
your search layouts to display an external object’s name field in a specified position.
By default, the External ID standard field on the external object is the name field. You can, however, select the Is Name Field
attribute on a different field to set that field as the name field for the external object.

View Names of Parent Records in Lookup Relationship Fields on External Objects

Previously, a lookup relationship field on an external object record displayed the record ID of the parent record. Now the lookup relationship
field displays the parent record name, which is more relevant to your users.

Removed Select All Checkbox for Syncing an External Data Source

Many administrators accidentally reached the organization limit of 100 external objects because they selected all the tables that were
available for syncing from the external system. Now, when you click Validate and Sync on an external data source, select each table
that you want to sync. The checkbox for selecting all tables is no longer available.

Process Builder: More Ways to Use Your Data

We expanded your options for automating business processes with improved support for formulas, new formula functions, and more
options for updating fields. You can now use multi-select picklists in more places and delete a process without the 12-hour wait. We
also updated the user interface to make it easier to manage versions, find and reference fields, and create Chatter messages.

IN THIS SECTION:
Compare and Return Values in Formulas
Use newly supported functions to compare and return values in the Process Builder.
Update Fields Using Formulas and Date Functions
When your process updates fields, you can now use formulas and date functions as the value.
Reference System-Provided Values
Use system variables in formulas to easily reference information in your organization.
Use Multi-Select Picklists in More Places
Previously, multi-select picklists were supported only when creating and updating records. Now you can also use multi-select picklists
in process criteria, formulas, and quick actions.

Process Builder User Interface Enhanced
We’ve improved the Process Builder user interface so it’s easier to manage versions, find and reference fields, create Chatter messages

Compare and Return Values in Formulas

Use newly supported functions to compare and return values in the Process Builder.
These new functions are now available to use in formulas.
• INCLUDES
• ISCHANGED
• ISNEW
• ISPICKVAL
• PRIORVALUE
For example, check whether a case’s contact changed by using ISCHANGED([Case].ContactId). If this formula evaluates to
true, your process executes the associated actions.

227
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Process Builder: More Ways to Use Your Data

Note: Picklist fields are no longer evaluated as text fields in formulas. If your process uses a formula to reference a picklist field
(for example, [Account].Industry = 'Agriculture'), we recommend changing the formula to use TEXT or ISPICKVAL
instead (for example, ISPICKVAL([Account].Industry) = 'Agriculture').

SEE ALSO:
IdeaExchange: Support ISNEW Formula Functions in Process Criteria
IdeaExchange: Update Picklist Fields Using Formulas

Update Fields Using Formulas and Date Functions

When your process updates fields, you can now use formulas and date functions as the value.
For example, you can:
• Use mathematical formulas to calculate values like pricing discounts, commission rates, and shipping costs.
• Use relative date functions—like NOW() and TODAY()—when populating a date field, or set a date in the future when creating
a record.
For example, check whether a case’s contact changes by using ISCHANGED([Case].ContactId). If this formula evaluates to
true, your process executes the associated actions.
This example shows how a formula is used to update the due date field on a task record related to a case. The task due date is set for
five days after the case closes.

SEE ALSO:
IdeaExchange: Support Relative Date Functions When Updating a Date Field

Reference System-Provided Values

Use system variables in formulas to easily reference information in your organization.
To add a system variable, click System Variable when you build your formula.

228
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Process Builder: More Ways to Use Your Data

You can use these system variable types in your formula:

• $API
• $Organization
• $Profile
• $System
• $User
• $UserRole

Example: Your process notifies the owner of a contact record if it’s changed by another user. Use a system variable in your formula
criteria to reference the user value.
[Case].ContactId <> $User.ContactId
If this formula evaluates to true, your process notifies the contact record’s owner.
For more information, see “Understanding Global Variables” in the Salesforce Help.

Use Multi-Select Picklists in More Places

Previously, multi-select picklists were supported only when creating and updating records. Now you can also use multi-select picklists
in process criteria, formulas, and quick actions.
Let’s say your process checks whether changes were made to an account’s office locations. If any of the office locations are in Washington,
Oregon, or California, the process notifies the West Coast Sales Manager.
Check whether an account’s office locations include any of these multi-select picklist values by:
• Using a formula.
INCLUDES ( [Account].Offices__c, "Washington" ) || INCLUDES ( [Account].Offices__c,
"Oregon" ) || INCLUDES ( [Account].Offices__c, "California" )

• Or setting conditions in your process criteria.

229
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Process Builder: More Ways to Use Your Data

Define Additional Conditions When Updating Records

When you update records in your process, you can now filter the records you’re updating using conditions.
To add conditions in an Update Records action:
1. Select the Updated records meet all conditions option.
2. Set the conditions that you want to use to filter the updated records.

Example: Let’s say your process updates the status of a parent case when the status of the child case is changed. You can now
specify conditions (2) so that, for example, you won’t update the parent case (1) if its status is set to On Hold (3).

230
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Process Builder: More Ways to Use Your Data

Update Fields With More Value Types

We added more options for updating fields and made it easier to specify value types.
The available value types depend on the field you’ve selected and include:
• Currency—manually enter a currency value.
• Boolean—choose a true/false boolean value.
• DateTime or Date—manually enter a date/time or date value.
• Formula—create a formula expression.
• Global Constant—choose a global constant to set a value to null or an empty string—for example, choose $GlobalConstant.Null.
• ID—manually enter a Salesforce ID value, for example, 00300000003T2PGAA0.
• MultiPicklist—choose one or more multi-select picklist values.
• Number—manually enter a number value.
• Picklist—choose a picklist value.
• Reference—choose a field on the record or on a related record.
• String—manually enter a string value.

Example: Choose the Reference value type to reference a parent account field, or choose the Picklist value type to select a
picklist value.

Reference Global Variables in a Flow

Visual Workflow now supports a subset of Salesforce global variables. Reference a global variable to access information about your
organization or the user who’s running flow without using a query. Previously, you could access some of this information through
lookup elements. However, unlike lookup elements, global variables don’t count against SOQL query limits.
See the Path That a Flow Interview Took Before It Failed (Beta)
When a flow interview fails, the flow creator receives an email with the subject “Unhandled process fault occurred…”. The email
provides a message describing what went wrong. We added a list of every flow element that the interview executed so that you
can see the exact path the interview took.

Verify Picklist Values in a Flow

You can now create flow variables to represent picklist values. Consequently, we added support for the ISPICKVAL() function in
flow formulas.
To create a picklist variable, create a variable like usual. For Data Type, select Picklist. This data type isn’t available for collection
variables, and it doesn’t support default values.
ISPICKVAL() requires the following format, where picklist_value is a reference to a picklist variable or a picklist field on an
sObject variable and string is a manually entered value.

ISPICKVAL ( picklist_value, "string" )

Example: The following formula expression checks whether an opportunity is an existing business and the deal was lost.

ISPICKVAL ( {!varOpptyType}, "Existing Business" )

&& ISPICKVAL ( {!varOpptyStage}, "Closed Lost" )

Verify Multi-Select Picklist Values in a Flow

You can now create flow variables to represent multi-select picklist values. Consequently, we added support for the INCLUDES()
function in flow formulas.
To create a multi-select picklist variable, create a variable like usual. For Data Type, select Picklist (Multi-Select). This data type isn’t
available for collection variables, and it doesn’t support default values.
INCLUDES() requires the following format, where msp_value is a reference to a multi-select picklist variable or a multi-select
picklist field on an sObject variable and string is a manually entered value.

INCLUDES ( msp_value, "string" )

Example: The following formula expression checks whether a multi-select picklist resource contains “yellow”, “blue”, and “green”.

INCLUDES ( {!mspvar} , "yellow" )

&& INCLUDES ( {!mspvar} , "blue" )
&& INCLUDES ( {!mspvar} , "green" )

Immediately Delete a Flow Version

Reference Global Variables in a Flow

Visual Workflow now supports a subset of Salesforce global variables. Reference a global variable to access information about your
organization or the user who’s running flow without using a query. Previously, you could access some of this information through lookup
elements. However, unlike lookup elements, global variables don’t count against SOQL query limits.
The following global variables and their merge fields are available in flow formulas.
• $Api
• $Label—available only if custom labels exist in your organization
• $Organization
• $Permission—available only if custom permissions exist in your organization
• $Profile
• $Setup—available only if hierarchy custom settings exist in your organization
• $System
• $User
• $UserRole
To add a global variable to a flow formula from the Cloud Flow Designer, open the Resources drop-down list and expand the GLOBAL
AND SYSTEM VARIABLES section.

Example: Your flow greets the user who’s running the flow by name.
Before, you would add ?userId={!User.Id} to the end of the flow URL and then reference that ID in a Record Lookup to
get the FirstName and LastName field values.
With global variables, you instead create a formula with the following expression.
{!$User.FirstName} & " " & {!$User.LastName}

See the Path That a Flow Interview Took Before It Failed (Beta)
When a flow interview fails, the flow creator receives an email with the subject “Unhandled process fault occurred…”. The email provides
a message describing what went wrong. We added a list of every flow element that the interview executed so that you can see the exact
path the interview took.
For example, if your flow includes a Decision element, use this list to figure out which route the interview took.

Note: This release contains a beta version of the flow fault email that is production quality but has known limitations. We welcome
your feedback on IdeaExchange.
The beginning of the email identifies the errors that occurred and the element where each error occurred. If the flow uses fault connectors,
multiple errors can occur before the interview finishes.
The email also includes details about the flow and the interview that failed, as well as a list of the elements that the interview executed.

237
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Globalization

• If the element that failed has a fault connector, the interview continues until the next error or until there are no more elements to
execute. The failed element isn’t necessarily the last one in the list. In fact, multiple elements could have failed.
• If the element that failed doesn’t have a fault connector, the interview stops at that element. The failed element is the last element
that’s listed in the email.
Use the list of elements to determine exactly which path the flow interview took. For example, determine which way a Decision element
routed your interview.

Example: Your flow calculates the discount for an opportunity based on its account’s annual revenue. You run an interview of
that flow, and it fails. The fault email that you receive begins with the following error message.
An error occurred at element Submit_Record.
No applicable approval process was found.

Then it lists the elements that the interview executed.

Record Lookup: Find_Acct
Decision: Determine_Discount
Assignment: No_Discount
Record Update: Update_Discount_Field
Subflow: Submit_for_Approval
Submit for Approval: Submit_Record

Through this list, you see that the interview followed the path that we’ve highlighted in green. The interview failed in the flow
that’s referenced by the “Submit_for_Approval” Subflow element.

Track Your Organization’s Apex Transactions with Apex Limit Events (Pilot)
The Apex Limit Events Pilot allows you to monitor occurrences of non-zero governor limits in your
EDITIONS
organization.
Apex is a strongly typed, object-oriented programming language. It allows developers to execute Available in:
flow and transaction control statements on the Force.com Platform server along with calls to the • Enterprise
Force.com API. • Performance
• Unlimited
Apex runs in a multitenant environment. The runtime engine strictly enforces limits to ensure that • Developer
any one organization’s Apex code doesn’t monopolize shared resources. If a piece of Apex code
ever exceeds a limit, the associated governor issues a runtime exception that can’t be handled.
It’s frustrating to hit these limits because it can cause mission-critical apps to fail. But what if you could monitor these limits in a production
environment?
The Apex Limit Events pilot provides API access to a stream of near real-time tracking of Apex executions that hit a governor limit. You
can also access hourly roll-up summary metrics that help you monitor the ongoing health of your organization’s Apex executions.

Note: This pilot only supports monitoring of hard Apex limits, not the newer soft limits.

Note: Apex Limit Events is currently available through a pilot program. Any unreleased services or features referenced in this
document, press releases, or public statements are not currently available and may not be delivered on time or at all. Customers
who purchase our services should make their purchase decisions based upon features that are currently available. You may need

The initial pilot of Data Leakage Detection tracks queries in near real time in the SOAP, REST, and

organizations can gain greater insights into:
• Who saw what data
• When they saw that data
• Where they accessed the data
• What fields they accessed
• How long a query took
• How many records they accessed
When combined with the Login Forensics Pilot, you can also track every query back to a unique login to identify anomalies in user
behavior.

this or other press releases or public statements aren’t currently available and might not be delivered on time or at all. Customers

Accessibility: “*” Annotation in Labels for Required Fields Restored

Visualforce adds a “*” character to the labels of required input fields to improve accessibility in screen readers. This feature was inadvertently
disabled and is now restored.
This change affects the <label> tags added by all Visualforce input components. The “*” annotation is added to required fields
regardless of why the field is required—whether it’s required by the data model, layout, or Visualforce markup.
The “*” character doesn’t appear when Visualforce pages are viewed in a standard Web browser. For sighted users, there’s no visible
change in the way required fields are indicated.

Remote Action Response Encoding Includes Single Straight Quotation Marks

String values in a remote action response are encoded to escape characters, such as “<” and “>”, that have special meaning in HTML.
Encoding now includes the single straight quotation mark character ('). Encoding response string values makes them safe to handle in
your Visualforce pages, with or without your own explicit encoding.
This change affects string values in the response, whether the response is a primitive single string, an sObject, or a collection of values.

Enable Clickjack Protection for Visualforce Pages Even When Headers Are Disabled
Clickjack protection secures your Visualforce pages against user interface redress attacks. You can enable clickjack protection for Visualforce
pages that suppress the standard header. The setting is global to your organization and applies to all your Visualforce pages.
To enable clickjack protection for Visualforce pages that suppress the standard header, select Enable clickjack protection for customer
Visualforce pages with headers disabled under Setup > Security Controls > Session Settings.
Clickjack protection is implemented by adding a X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN header to Visualforce pages. When headers
are suppressed by setting showHeader="false" on a page, this header isn’t added to the page, and clickjack protection is disabled.
Normally, suppressing headers is the desired behavior because it strips out unnecessary resources and provides a clean slate for your
Visualforce pages. This new session setting lets you turn only the clickjack protection functionality back on, which adds the required
header to your Visualforce pages.
Enabling clickjack protection for Visualforce pages has some side effects. When this header is activated, only pages served from the
Visualforce domain can wrap Visualforce pages in an <iframe>, or otherwise embed Visualforce pages.
Some existing Salesforce features embed Visualforce in frames. If you enable clickjack protection for Visualforce pages, these features
no longer work. Examples include custom console components in the Salesforce Console, custom dashboards that embed Visualforce
pages, and other features you have extended using Visualforce. We recommend that you test clickjack protection in a sandbox or
Developer Edition organization to verify the behavior before enabling it in your production organization.
If your organization displays Visualforce pages within a frame or <iframe>, it’s possible that the clickjack-protected pages display
either as a blank page or without the frame. The behavior varies depending on your browser and its version. Although there are reasons
to frame pages, hackers can abuse framed pages.
You have two options for handling existing framed Visualforce pages.
• Discontinue displaying these pages within a frame or <iframe>. This solution is recommended.
• Don’t enable clickjack protection for your Visualforce pages. This option allows you to continue framing Visualforce pages, but the
pages are vulnerable to clickjack attacks. This option isn’t recommended.

Note: Along with this new setting, labels for the existing clickjack protection settings are updated for consistency and clarity
across all four clickjack settings. The behavior of the existing settings is unchanged.

Reduced Access for Apex Classes Using with sharing Keyword

Apex classes defined with the with sharing keyword no longer have unfiltered access to the User object if it’s set to private by
the organization’s sharing rules.
This keyword is often used in custom Visualforce controllers and controller extensions. For more information, see Reduced Access for
Apex Classes Using with sharing Keyword on page 259.
This change also applies to the Visualforce standard controller. Since this is documented behavior, this change shouldn’t affect pages
that use standard controllers.

Serve Static Resources from the Visualforce Domain

This critical update changes the way that your static resources, such as images, JavaScript, and CSS files, are served from Salesforce. To
avoid broken references to static resources, make sure that you review our recommended best practices.
Prior to this release, some static resources, such as images and CSS files, were loaded from the Salesforce Domain. With this update, all
static resources are loaded from the Visualforce Domain. Changing the origin domain can cause absolute references to static resources
to break.
It’s a best practice to reference static resources by using the $Resource global variable and the URLFOR() function instead of
static strings. For example:
• <apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.MyJavascriptFile}"/>
• <apex:image url="{!URLFOR($Resource.TestZip, 'images/Bluehills.jpg')}" width="50"
height="50"/>
These references are safe to use regardless of your organization’s settings.
We recommend that you test this update in a sandbox or Developer Edition organization to verify correct behavior of your pages before
enabling it in your production organization.
To activate this critical update:
1. From Setup, click Critical Updates.
2. Click Activate for “Serve Static Resources from the Visualforce Domain.”

PageReference getContent() and getContentAsPDF() Methods Behave as

Callouts
This critical update changes the way calls made to the PageReference methods getContent() and getContentAsPDF() are
treated and improves the semantics of the transaction for the calling page.
A PageReference is a reference to an instantiation of a Visualforce page. The getContent() and getContentAsPDF() instance
methods return the content of a rendered page as HTML and PDF, respectively. With this update, calls made to these methods behave
as callouts, and the calls are tracked against the limits of the calling transaction.
We recommend that you test this update in a sandbox or Developer Edition organization to verify correct behavior of your pages before

The order of elements in unordered collections (Map and Set) is now the same each time your code is run. Previously, the order
of elements in unordered collections was arbitrary, and you couldn’t rely on the order of elements in maps and sets.
Receive Debug Logs Predictably
Debug log levels now have a clear order of precedence. Previously, it was difficult to predict whether some events would be logged.
Location and Distance Variables Allowed in SOQL and SOSL Queries in Apex
You can now use location and distance variables within bind expressions in Apex. Bind expressions let you reference Apex variables
in SOQL and SOSL queries.
Reduced Access for Apex Classes Using with sharing Keyword
Apex classes defined with the with sharing keyword no longer have unfiltered access to the User object if it’s set to private
by the organization’s sharing rules. In previous releases, the User object was exempt from the with sharing keyword. Because
organization-wide sharing defaults for the User object default to public read-only, this behavior had no effect in most organizations.
However, if an organization sets the organization-wide sharing defaults for the User object to private, the with sharing keyword
could produce unexpected results.
See Apex Method Parameters at a Glance
Method topic titles in the Force.com Apex Code Developer’s Guide now include sample parameter names. Previously, topic titles for
Apex methods stated the data types of the parameters to be passed to the methods. However, we received feedback that headings
like methodName(String, String, Boolean, String) aren’t useful.
New and Changed Apex Classes
These classes, methods, annotations, and interfaces are new or have changed in this release.

New Code Coverage Calculation for Multiline Statements

Code coverage has changed for statements that are written on multiple lines. Each line that contains an expression is now included in
the code coverage calculation for covered and uncovered code. Previously, a multiline statement was calculated as one line of code in
code coverage. This change affects all API versions.
As a result of this change, code coverage numbers can sometimes be calculated differently from the calculation done in Summer ’15.
The new calculation can be higher or lower, depending on the scenario. When multiline statements are present, more lines are counted
as part of the code coverage calculation. Therefore, if those lines are covered, they can contribute to a higher coverage. Similarly, if those
lines aren’t covered, they can contribute to a lower coverage.

255
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Apex Code

This example shows how code coverage can be higher. The following code snippet results in six lines that are counted toward code
coverage. Those lines are Integer n = getSomeNumber1(), + getSomeNumber2(), + getSomeNumber3(), +
getSomeNumber4();, if (myVar==true) {, and notCovered();. In this example, only the notCovered();
statement isn’t covered, so the total number of covered lines is five. The code coverage is 5/6 or 83%.

Previously, three lines of code were counted, because all the expressions in the first assignment statement (Integer n =) were
counted as one line. The code coverage was 2/3 or 66%.

This next example shows how code coverage can be lower. The expressions in the if condition result in three lines that are counted
toward code coverage. Because fooReturnsFalse() returns a false value, the remaining expressions in the condition aren’t
evaluated, and therefore aren’t covered. The code coverage is 1/3 or 33%.

Previously, all three expressions in the if condition were counted as one line for code coverage, and the code coverage was 1/1 or
100%.

Note:
• If a statement consists of multiple expressions and is written on one line, it’s counted as one line for code coverage. If one part
of this statement is covered and other parts aren’t, the entire statement is counted as a covered line because it counts as one
line total.
• The Apex compiler sometimes optimizes expressions in a statement. For example, if multiple string constants are concatenated
with the + operator, the compiler replaces those expressions with one string constant internally. If the string concatenation
expressions are on separate lines, the additional lines aren’t counted as part of the code coverage calculation after optimization.

256
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Apex Code

To illustrate this point, a string variable is assigned to two string constants that are concatenated. The second string constant
is on a separate line.
String s = 'Hello'
+ ' World!';

The compiler optimizes the string concatenation and represents the string as one string constant internally. The second line
in this example is ignored for code coverage.
String s = 'Hello World!';

Iteration Order for Maps and Sets Is Now Predictable

The order of elements in unordered collections (Map and Set) is now the same each time your code is run. Previously, the order of
elements in unordered collections was arbitrary, and you couldn’t rely on the order of elements in maps and sets.
Ideally, you don’t want your code to depend on the order of elements in unordered collections. If you have such code, it could sometimes
fail before this change. This change makes your code more robust because the iteration order in maps and sets is always the same.
This example illustrates how the iteration order is deterministic in a map. A map is created with two elements. Next, the for loop
iterates over the map elements and writes the key and value of each element to the debug log. Each time you execute this snippet, the
iteration order of the elements in the for loop is the same.
Map<String, String> currencyMap = new Map<String, String>();
currencyMap.put('France','Euro');
currencyMap.put('Japan', 'Yen');
// Iterate through the map elements.
for (String mapKey : currencyMap.keySet()) {
System.debug('Key: ' + mapKey +
', Value: ' + currencyMap.get(mapKey));
}

// The output is:

Key: France, Value: Euro
Key: Japan, Value: Yen

Note: A critical update for this change (Predictable Iteration Order for Apex Unordered Collections) was added before Summer
’15. This update provided you time to test your applications to ensure that the change caused no failures or to fix failures that
occurred. In rare cases, the change causes your order-dependent logic to fail. This update is now applied to all organizations and
API versions.

Receive Debug Logs Predictably

Debug log levels now have a clear order of precedence. Previously, it was difficult to predict whether some events would be logged.
The order of precedence for debug log levels is:
1. Trace flags set in the Developer Console override all other logging logic. The Developer Console sets a trace flag when it loads, and
that trace flag remains in effect until it expires.

257
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Apex Code

• To access your trace flags and their expiration times, open the Developer Console and click Debug > Change Log Levels.
• To add trace flags for a class or trigger, click Add, select a class or trigger, and then click Add. Double-click fields to adjust your
log levels.

Note: Setting trace flags doesn’t cause logs to be generated or saved. Trace flags override other logging levels, but they don’t
cause logging to occur. If logging is enabled when classes or triggers execute, logs are generated at the time of execution.

2. If you don’t have active trace flags, synchronous and asynchronous Apex tests execute with the default logging levels. Default logging
levels are:
DB
INFO
APEX_CODE
DEBUG
APEX_PROFILING
INFO
WORKFLOW
INFO
VALIDATION
INFO
CALLOUT
INFO
VISUALFORCE
INFO
SYSTEM
DEBUG

3. If no relevant trace flags are active, and no tests are running, your API header sets your logging levels. API requests that are sent
without debugging headers generate transient logs—logs that aren’t saved—unless another logging rule is in effect. For more
information, see “DebuggingHeader” in the Force.com Apex Code Developer's Guide .
4. If you enable system logs for a user, you get debug logs for that user’s next 20 requests. To learn how to set up user-based debug
logs, see “Monitoring Debug Logs” in the Salesforce Help.
5. If your entry point sets a log level, that log level is used. For example, Visualforce requests can include a debugging parameter that
sets log levels.
If none of these cases apply, logs aren’t generated or persisted. For more information on debug log levels, see “Working with Logs in
the Developer Console” in the Force.com Apex Code Developer's Guide .

Location and Distance Variables Allowed in SOQL and SOSL Queries in Apex
You can now use location and distance variables within bind expressions in Apex. Bind expressions let you reference Apex variables in
SOQL and SOSL queries.
SOQL and SOSL statements in Apex can reference Apex code variables and expressions if they’re preceded by a colon (:). This use of a
local code variable within a SOQL or SOSL statement is called a bind. The Apex parser first evaluates the local variable in code context
before executing the SOQL or SOSL statement.

258
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Apex Code

These queries are now allowed.

Double myLatitude = 10;
Double myLongitude = 10;
List<Account> accountList =
[SELECT Id, Name, BillingLatitude, BillingLongitude
FROM Account
WHERE DISTANCE(My_Location_Field__c, GEOLOCATION(:myLatitude, :myLongitude), 'mi') <
10];

Location myLocation = Location.newInstance(10, 10);

Double myDistance = 100;
List<Account> accountList =
[SELECT Id, Name, BillingLatitude, BillingLongitude
FROM Account
WHERE DISTANCE(My_Location_Field__c, :myLocation, 'mi') < :myDistance];

Apex bind variables aren’t supported for the units parameter in DISTANCE or GEOLOCATION functions. This query doesn’t work.
String units = 'mi';
List<Account> accountList =
[SELECT ID, Name, BillingLatitude, BillingLongitude
FROM Account
WHERE DISTANCE(My_Location_Field__c, GEOLOCATION(10,10), :units) < 10];

Reduced Access for Apex Classes Using with sharing Keyword

Apex classes defined with the with sharing keyword no longer have unfiltered access to the User object if it’s set to private by
the organization’s sharing rules. In previous releases, the User object was exempt from the with sharing keyword. Because
organization-wide sharing defaults for the User object default to public read-only, this behavior had no effect in most organizations.
However, if an organization sets the organization-wide sharing defaults for the User object to private, the with sharing keyword
could produce unexpected results.
By default, Apex code runs in the system context and has full access to all of an organization’s data. The with sharing keyword
tells the class to take the sharing rules for the current user into account when accessing data. For more information, see “Using the with
sharing or without sharing Keywords” in the Force.com Apex Code Developer's Guide.
Beginning in API version 34.0, the User object is no longer exempt from the additional filtering that results from the with sharing
keyword. This change is versioned. Update your code to API version 34.0 or later to access the new behavior.
If you have code that depends on the old behavior, you have two options to preserve compatibility.
• Don’t update affected Apex classes beyond API version 33.0.
• Change the affected classes to use without sharing and implement any filtering based on the context user yourself.

See Apex Method Parameters at a Glance

Method topic titles in the Force.com Apex Code Developer’s Guide now include sample parameter names. Previously, topic titles for Apex
methods stated the data types of the parameters to be passed to the methods. However, we received feedback that headings like
methodName(String, String, Boolean, String) aren’t useful.
We’ve also standardized our parameter name format and clarified some parameter names. To see the new method headings, check out

New and Changed Apex Classes

These classes, methods, annotations, and interfaces are new or have changed in this release.

New Methods
The following existing classes have new methods.
Auth.AuthConfiguration Class
getForgotPasswordUrl()
Returns the URL for the standard or custom Forgot Password page that is specified for a community or portal by the administrator.
Reports.ReportMetadata Class
These methods enable you to get or set report properties, such as the division, whether the report has detailed data, whether the
report includes the record count, the scope of the data, the field used for sorting, standard date filters, and default filters. The new
methods are:
• getDivision
• getHasDetailRows
• getHasRecordCount
• getScope
• getSortBy
• getStandardDateFilter
• getStandardFilters
• setDivision
• setHasDetailRows
• setHasRecordCount
• setScope
• setSortBy
• setStandardDateFilter
• setStandardFilters
The Reporting REST API also exposes report metadata properties. See Changed Salesforce1 Reporting REST API Request and Response
Bodies.
System.Search Class
find(String)
Performs a search using a dynamic SOSL query that can include a WITH SNIPPET clause. Snippets provide context for
Salesforce Knowledge article search results so that users can identify the content they’re looking for.
suggest(String, String, Search.SuggestionOption)
Returns a list of records or Salesforce Knowledge articles whose names or titles match the user’s search query string. Use this
method to provide users with shortcuts to navigate to relevant records or articles before they perform a search.
System.Site Class
Use the createExternalUser() methods instead of the createPortalUser() for better error handling. Each method
creates a new community or portal user and associates them with the specified account in a community or portal. Each method
throws Site.ExternalUserCreateException when user creation fails.
createExternalUser(name, accountId)
Creates a community or a portal user for the given account and associates it with the community.

260
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Apex Code

createExternalUser(name, accountId, password)

Creates a community or a portal user for the given account and associates it with the community. This method sends an email
with the specified password to the user.
createExternalUser(name, accountId, password, sendEmailConfirmation)
Creates a community or portal user and associates it with the given account. This method sends the user an email with the
specified password as well as a new user confirmation email.
System.String Class
equals(stringOrId)
Returns true if the passed-in object is not null and represents the same binary sequence of characters as the current string.
Use this method to compare a string to an object that represents a string or an ID.
The new equals(Object) method replaces equals(String), which is deprecated. Previously, you could compare
a string to an ID by using the equals(String) method, because the Apex runtime converts IDs to strings. The new
equals(Object) method compares the current string to any object, including a string or an ID. This new method provides
more robust handling of string-to-ID comparisons.

Changed Methods
The following classes have changed methods.
System.Date Class
valueOf(fieldValue)
In API version 33.0 or earlier, if you call Date.valueOf with an object that represents a Datetime, the method returns a
Date value that contains the hours, minutes, and seconds. In version 34.0 and later, Date.valueOf converts the object to
a valid Date without the time information. To convert a variable of type Datetime to a Date, use the Datetime.date
method.

New Properties
The following classes have new properties.
DMLOptions.DuplicateRuleHeader Class
includeRecordDetails
Set to true to get fields and values for records detected as duplicates. Set to false to get only record IDs for records detected
as duplicates.
runAsCurrentUser
Set to true to make sure that sharing rules for the current user are enforced when duplicate rules run. Set to false to use
the sharing rules specified in the class for the request. If no sharing rules are specified, Apex code runs in system context and
sharing rules for the current user are not enforced.

New Classes
The following classes have been added.
Classes in the DataSource Namespace
A new namespace, DataSource, and classes have been added for the Apex Connector Framework. Those classes enable you to
create a custom adapter for Lightning Connect to access data that’s stored outside your Salesforce organization. See Access Any
Data Anywhere with the Lightning Connector Apex Framework on page 220.

261
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Apex Code

Classes in the Search Namespace

A new namespace, Search, and classes have been added.
These classes support the System.Search.find(String) method, which performs dynamic SOSL queries that can include
the WITH SNIPPET clause:
• Search.SearchResult—A wrapper object that contains an sObject and search metadata. This class has these methods:
– getSObject()—Returns an sObject from a SearchResult object.
– getSnippet()—Returns a snippet from a SearchResult object based on the default field.
– getSnippet(String)—Returns a snippet from a SearchResult object based on the specified field name.

• Search.SearchResults—Wraps the results returned by the Search.find(String) method. This class has one
method:
– get(String)—Returns a list of Search.SearchResult objects that contain an sObject of the specified type.

These classes support the System.Search.suggest(String, String, Search.SuggestionOption) method,

which returns a list of records or Salesforce Knowledge articles whose names or titles match the user’s search query string:
• Search.KnowledgeSuggestionFilter—Filter settings that narrow the results from a call to
System.Search.suggest(searchQuery, sObjectType, options) when the SOSL search query contains
a KnowledgeArticleVersion object. This class has these methods:
– addArticleType(String)—Adds a filter that narrows suggestion results to display the specified article type. This
filter is optional.
– addDataCategory(String, String)—Adds a filter that narrows suggestion results to display articles in the
specified data category. This filter is optional.
– setChannel(String)—Sets a channel to narrow the suggestion results to articles in the specified channel. This filter
is optional.
– setDataCategories(Map)—Adds filters that narrow suggestion results to display articles in the specified data
categories. Use this method to set multiple data category group and name pairs in one call. This filter is optional.
– setLanguage(String)—Sets a language to narrow the suggestion results to display articles in that language. This
filter value is required in calls to System.Search.suggest(String, String,
Search.SuggestionOption).
– setPublishStatus(String)—Sets a publish status to narrow the suggestion results to display articles with that
status. This filter value is required in calls to System.Search.suggest(String, String,
Search.SuggestionOption).
– setValidationStatus(String)—Sets a validation status to narrow the suggestion results to display articles with
that status. This filter is optional.

• Search.SuggestionOption—Options that narrow record and article suggestion results returned from a call to
System.Search.suggest(String, String, Search.SuggestionOption). This class has these methods:
– setFilter(Search.KnowledgeSuggestionFilter)—Set filters that narrow Salesforce Knowledge article
results in a call to System.Search.suggest(String, String, Search.SuggestionOption).
– setLimit(Integer)—The maximum number of record or article suggestions to retrieve.

• Search.SuggestionResult—A wrapper object that contains an sObject. This class has this method:
– getSObject()—Returns the sObject from a SuggestionResult object.

• Search.SuggestionResults—Wraps the results returned by the Search.suggest(String, String,

Search.SuggestionOption) method. This class has these methods:

262
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Apex Code

– getSuggestionResults()—Returns a list of SuggestionResult objects from the response to a call to

Search.suggest(String, String, Search.SuggestionOption).
– hasMoreResults()—Indicates whether a call to System.Search.suggest(String, String,
Search.SuggestionOption) has more results available than were returned.

New Interfaces
The following interfaces have been added.
TerritoryMgmt.OpportunityTerritory2AssignmentFilter Interface
A new namespace, TerritoryMgmt, and an interface have been added for Enterprise Territory Management. Implement the
interface to define filter logic for a job that assigns territories to opportunities based on a territory priority value. The interface supports
the getOpportunityTerritory2Assignments(List<Id>) method. The implemented method will be called by an
Opportunity Territory Assignment job to assign territories to opportunities. Input is a list of up to 1,000 opportunityIds that have
IsExcludedFromTerritory2Filter=false. The method returns a map of OpportunityId to Territory2Id, which is used to
update the Territory2Id field on the Opportunity object. We provide a sample class that we recommend you use or modify.
For details, see “OpportunityTerritory2AssignmentFilter Interface” in the Force.com Apex Code Developer’s Guide.

ConnectApi (Chatter in Apex)

Use Chatter in Apex to create custom experiences in Salesforce. This release you can edit feed posts and comments, associate records

Many Chatter REST API resource actions are exposed as static methods on Apex classes in the ConnectApi namespace. These methods
use other ConnectApi classes to input and return information. The ConnectApi namespace is referred to as Chatter in Apex.
In Apex, it’s possible to access some Chatter data using SOQL queries and objects. However, ConnectApi classes expose Chatter
data in a much simpler way. Data is localized and structured for display. For example, instead of making many calls to access and assemble
a feed, you can do it with a single call.

Note: To integrate mobile apps, intranet sites, and third party Web applications with Chatter and Communities, use Chatter REST

General Updates to Chatter in Apex

Create Custom Labels for Action Links

If the labels in the Label Key drop-down list don’t make sense for an action link, set Label Key to None and enter a custom
label in the Label field. You can create a custom label only in an action link template.

Action links have four statuses: NewStatus, PendingStatus, SuccessStatus, and FailedStatus. These strings are appended to the label for
each status:
• label
• label Pending
• label Success
• label Failed
For example, if the value of label is “See Example,” the values of the four action link states are: See Example, See Example Pending,
See Example Success, and See Example Failed.

Lightning Events
Events add a layer of interaction to your components.
The following ui events are now available.

Event Name Description

ui:clearErrors Indicates that any validation errors should be cleared.

ui:validationError Indicates that the component has validation errors.

Other Changes in Lightning Components

We’ve made additional changes in Lightning Components.

IN THIS SECTION:
Use My Domain with Lightning Components
Lightning components now work if you use custom domains with My Domain.
Use Custom Labels in Lightning Components
Use custom labels in Lightning components with the $Label global value provider.
New empty() Expression Function
The empty(v.attributeName) function returns true if the argument is empty.
Create Picklists for Lightning App Builder Components
You can now render string fields as picklists in custom Lightning components you’ve configured for the Lightning App Builder.
Changes to Design Files for Lightning App Builder Components
We made two changes to what design files support for Lightning App Builder components.
Referential Integrity Validation Expanded
An expanded range of changes to Lightning components and component dependencies are validated when saved to ensure that
the changes don’t break existing code.
Default Namespace Usable in More Contexts
The default namespace, “c”, which was introduced in the previous release, is available in additional contexts. You can use the default
namespace to refer to resources using <aura:dependency>.
Use App Templates to Customize Startup Screen for Custom Apps
You can create custom templates for an app by creating a Lightning component that extends the default aura:template
template.
Cache Additional Web Resources Using AppCache
In addition to the default AppCache resources, you can cache additional resources like JavaScript files, CSS stylesheet files, and image
files.
Slimmed Down the JavaScript API Doc
The JavaScript API section of the reference doc app has been filtered to only show the methods that you need to build Lightning
components.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Lightning Components

Use My Domain with Lightning Components

Lightning components now work if you use custom domains with My Domain.
For more information about My Domain, see the online help.

Use Custom Labels in Lightning Components

Use custom labels in Lightning components with the $Label global value provider.
Custom labels are custom text values that can be translated into any language Salesforce supports. Custom labels enable developers to
create multilingual applications by automatically presenting information (for example, help text or error messages) in a user's native
language.
Use this syntax to access custom labels in Lightning components:
• $Label.c.labelName for the default namespace
• $Label.namespace.labelName if your org has a namespace
Here are some examples.
Label in a markup expression using the default namespace
{!$Label.c.labelName}
Label in JavaScript code if your org has a namespace
$A.get("$Label.namespace.labelName")

Note: Custom labels referenced in a Lightning component are not automatically added when you create a package containing
the Lightning component. To include a custom label in a package, another member of the package, such as a Visualforce page,
must reference the custom label.

New empty() Expression Function

The empty(v.attributeName) function returns true if the argument is empty.
This function works for arguments of type String, Array, Object, List, Map, or Set.
An empty argument is undefined, null, an empty array, or an empty string. An object with no properties is not considered empty.

Example: {! !empty(v.myArray)} evaluates faster than {!v.myArray && v.myArray.length > 0} so

we recommend empty() to improve performance.

Create Picklists for Lightning App Builder Components

You can now render string fields as picklists in custom Lightning components you’ve configured for the Lightning App Builder.
To render a field as a picklist, add a datasource onto the attribute in the design resource, like this:
<design:attribute name="Name" datasource="value1,value2,value3" />

Any string attribute with a datasource in a design resource is treated as a picklist. How the Lightning App Builder renders it depends
on the data type that you define in the component. For example:
• <aura:attribute name="Name" type="String" /> renders as a picklist
• <aura:attribute name="Name" type="String[]" /> renders as a multi-select picklist

271
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Lightning Components

Changes to Design Files for Lightning App Builder Components

We made two changes to what design files support for Lightning App Builder components.
Design files no longer support the type field. Define attribute types in the component file, then expose the attributes in the design
file.
In addition, a design file now supports only attributes of type int, string, or boolean.

Referential Integrity Validation Expanded

An expanded range of changes to Lightning components and component dependencies are validated when saved to ensure that the
changes don’t break existing code.
You can reference component names, custom object and field names, class names, and so on in your Lightning components markup.
When they change—for example, if you change the name of a custom component—code that references the changed item also needs
to change. In some cases—for example, changing the name of a custom object—these changes are made automatically and happen
behind the scenes. In other instances, you need to make code changes manually. In those cases, you receive a compilation error when
you try to save the incompatible change.
Referential integrity checking is expanded to include explicit dependency references using <aura:dependency> and references
that extend through an inheritance hierarchy. References to custom fields are also validated and updated more thoroughly.
Referential integrity validation still has a few gaps, mostly to do with references within JavaScript code and inside of expressions. Even
complete validation can’t prevent many kinds of errors. Nevertheless, this validation makes it easier to refactor and grow your code, and
gives you confidence as you do it.

Default Namespace Usable in More Contexts

The default namespace, “c”, which was introduced in the previous release, is available in additional contexts. You can use the default
namespace to refer to resources using <aura:dependency>.
Here’s an example of an explicit dependency using the default namespace.
<aura:dependency resource="markup://c:myComponent" />

Previously, if your organization had a namespace set, you were required to use the full namespace.
It remains a best practice to always use your organization’s namespace if it’s set. These changes make it easier to reuse code that’s shared
in articles, GitHub repositories, and so on.

Use App Templates to Customize Startup Screen for Custom Apps

You can create custom templates for an app by creating a Lightning component that extends the default aura:template template.
For a sample app, this looks like:
<aura:component isTemplate="true" extends="aura:template">
<aura:set attrivute="title" value="Doc Sample"/>
...
</aura:component>

Cache Additional Web Resources Using AppCache

In addition to the default AppCache resources, you can cache additional resources like JavaScript files, CSS stylesheet files, and image
files.

272
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes API

To specify these resources, add the additionalAppCacheURLs system attribute to the aura:application tag in your
.app file. The additionalAppCacheURLs attribute value holds the URLs of the additional resources.

Note: The useAppCache="true" attribute must also be set to enable caching.

Slimmed Down the JavaScript API Doc

The JavaScript API section of the reference doc app has been filtered to only show the methods that you need to build Lightning
components.
Previously, the JavaScript API doc was showing many objects and methods that should only be used internally in the framework code
so it was promoting anti-patterns for developers. You should limit your code to only use the set of supported methods. Existing code
that uses other methods will not break in this release but we are not guaranteeing support for these methods in future releases.
Access the reference doc app at:
https://<mySalesforceInstance>.lightning.force.com/auradocs/reference.app, where
<mySalesforceInstance> is the name of the instance hosting your org; for example, na1.

New Resources
Composite Resources
Salesforce introduces two composite resources for improving your application’s performance by minimizing the number of round
trips between client and server.
Batch
vXX.X/composite/batch
The Batch resource lets you execute a sequence of independent subrequests. For example, you can update the name on an
account and get the account’s field values in a single request.
{
"batchRequests" : [
{
"method" : "PATCH",
"url" : "v34.0/sobjects/account/001D000000K0fXOIAZ",
"richInput" : {"Name" : "NewName"}
},{
"method" : "GET",
"url" : "v34.0/sobjects/account/001D000000K0fXOIAZ"
}]
}

The response contains the status codes of each subresponse and the responses themselves.
{
"hasErrors" : false,
"results" : [
{
"statusCode" : 204,
"result" : null
},{
"statusCode" : 200,
"result" : { Account attributes }
}]
}

The Batch resource supports batching for the following resources and resource groups.

SObject Tree
vXX.X/composite/tree

Note: The SObject Tree resource is available through a pilot program. For information on enabling this resource for your
organization, contact Salesforce.
The SObject Tree resource lets you create multiple sObject trees that share a root record type. An sObject tree is a collection of
nested, parent-child records with a single root record. Once the request is processed, the records are created and parents and
children are automatically linked by ID. In the request data, you supply the record hierarchies, required and optional field values,
each record’s type, and a reference ID for each record.
{
"records" :[{
"attributes" : {"type" : "Account", "referenceId" : "ref1"},
"name" : "SampleAccount",
"phone" : "1234567890",

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes API

Upon success, the response contains the IDs of the created records.
{
"hasErrors" : false,
"results" : [{
"referenceId" : "ref1",
"id" : "001D000000K0fXOIAZ"

},{
"referenceId" : "ref4",
"id" : "003D000000QV9n3IAD"
}]
}

If an error occurs while creating a record, the entire request fails and the response contains only the reference ID of the record
that caused the error and the error information.
A single request can contain up to 200 records. Because an sObject tree can contain a single record, you can use this resource
to create up to 200 unrelated records of the same type.

changed. You can include the If-Modified-Since header with a date in EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z format
when you use the Describe Global resource. If you do, response metadata is returned only if an available object’s metadata has
changed since the provided date. If no metadata has been modified since the provided date, a 304 Not Modified status
code is returned with no response body.
Suggest Article Title Matches
/vXX.X/search/suggestTitleMatches
The Suggest Article Title Matches resource now suggests Salesforce Knowledge articles whose titles contain the entire query string,
except stopwords, such as “a,” “for,” and “the.” Results now include articles if their titles contain words from the query string in a
different order.

General Updates to Chatter REST API

Create Custom Labels for Action Links

If the labels in the Label Key drop-down list don’t make sense for an action link, set Label Key to None and enter a custom
label in the Label field. You can create a custom label only in an action link template.

Action links have four statuses: NewStatus, PendingStatus, SuccessStatus, and FailedStatus. These strings are appended to the label for
each status:
• label
• label Pending
• label Success
• label Failed
For example, if the value of label is “See Example,” the values of the four action link states are: See Example, See Example Pending,
See Example Success, and See Example Failed.

• EncodingKey—The type of encoding assigned to the URL called by the tab.

293
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes API

• MotifName—The name of the tab style assigned to the custom tab.

EntityDefinition
More than 30 new fields have been added in support of data and metadata objects that are now available in the Tooling API WSDL.
SymbolTable
• Previously, only the STATIC and TEST modifiers were reported in symbol tables. Now, in all API versions, available values
for modifiers fields include:
– abstract
– final
– global
– override
– private
– protected
– public
– static
– testMethod (now has camel-case capitalization)
– transient
– virtual
– webService (now has camel-case capitalization)
– with sharing
– without sharing

• Modifiers can now include more values than those values explicitly specified in classes and methods. All relevant modifiers,
including implicit ones, are now returned. For example, all webservice methods have an implicit global modifier. Also,
because fields and methods are private unless otherwise specified, the private modifier is returned by default.
• The testMethod modifier is now returned when either the testMethod modifier or the IsTest annotation is used.
• An annotations field is now available on the constructors, externalReferences, methods, properties,
tableDeclaration, and variables fields. Available annotations include:
– Deprecated

– RestResource

• A new parentClass field returns parents of inner classes and extending classes.
• The interfaces field for inner classes and interfaces is now populated accurately. Previously, the implemented interfaces
in inner classes and interfaces were sometimes reported incorrectly.
• Because the available modifiers now contain all possible visibility combinations, the visibility field—which erroneously
combined PROTECTED with PRIVATE—is no longer available.
User
We unintentionally exposed custom fields on User in previous releases. This behavior has been corrected, and custom fields can’t
be retrieved in the Tooling API.
FullName and Metadata Fields

New Header
AllOrNoneHeader
Enables the rollback of all record changes when some of the records in a call result in failures. When this header is set to true,
changes are saved only when all records are processed successfully.
The AllOrNoneHeader header is available for the Tooling API requests that create, update, or delete records.

Documentation Changes

SOAP API
SOAP API includes new data types and changed calls.

New Data Types

Duplicate Management
Here are new data types you can use to manage duplicate records. When you create or update a record, you get a SaveResult object. If
you have active duplicate rules and a duplicate is detected, SaveResult will contain an Error object with a data type of DuplicateError.
Use DuplicateError and its constituent data types to manage duplicate records. For more information and code examples, check the
SOAP API Developer’s Guide.
DuplicateRule
Represents a duplicate rule for detecting duplicate records.
DuplicateRuleHeader
Determines options for using duplicate rules to detect duplicate records. Duplicate rules are part of the Duplicate Management
feature.
DuplicateError
Contains information about an error that occurred when an attempt was made to save a duplicate record. Use if your organization
has set up duplicate rules, which are part of the Duplicate Management feature.
The new StatusCode of DUPLICATES_DETECTED is used for an Error with a data type of DuplicateError.
DuplicateResult
Represents the details of a duplicate rule that detected duplicate records and information about those duplicate records.
MatchResult
Represents the duplicate results for a matching rule.
MatchRecord
Represents a duplicate record detected by a matching rule.

296
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes API

AdditionalInformationMap
Represents other information, if any, about matched records.
FieldDiff
Represents the name of a matching rule field and how the values of the field compare for the duplicate and its matching record.
JunctionIdList Junction Relations
JunctionIdList is a new field type.
JunctionIdList Field Type
Starting in API version 34.0, the JunctionIdList field type lets you manipulate the many-to-many relationship of an entity
directly. You no longer need to manipulate underlying junction entity records. JunctionIdList fields can be queried and
updated like any other field on the entity. Queries or updates to JunctionIdList fields act as queries or updates to the underlying
junction entity records. Fields of type JunctionIdList appear in the WSDL as an unbounded array of type ID.

Changed Calls
describeFlexiPages() and DescribeFlexiPageResult
The following field has been added:
• region—This field is reserved for future use.
describeLayout() and DescribeLayoutResult
The following fields have been added:
• feedView—Feed view related layout data for a feed-based layout. This field is null for page layouts that are not feed-based.
• DescribeLayoutFeedFilter—Represents an individual feed filter option that you can use to filter the feed.
• DescribeLayoutFeedView—Represents the layout of the feed view for a feed-based page layout.
The following type has been added to LayoutComponentType:
• AnalyticsCloud—An Analytics Cloud dashboard on the page layout.
describeSObjects() and DescribeSObjectResult
The following field has been added to the Field object:
• encrypted—Indicates whether this field is encrypted using Platform Encryption. This value is available in API version 31.0
and later for backwards compatibility. For more information, see Comply with Data Protection Requirements Using Platform
Encryption (Generally Available).

Metadata API
Use the Metadata API to manage customization information, such as custom object definitions and page layouts, for your organization.

IN THIS SECTION:
Metadata API Calls
Metadata API calls were modified or added in version 34.0.
Metadata Types and Fields
Metadata types and fields were modified or added in version 34.0.

Metadata API Calls

Metadata API calls were modified or added in version 34.0.

297
Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes API

Updated Metadata Calls

The following Metadata API calls changed.
createMetadata(), updateMetadata(), upsertMetadata(), and deleteMetadata()
The default behavior for creating and updating sets of metadata components changed. In API version 33.0 and earlier, the
createMetadata(), updateMetadata(), and upsertMetadata() calls saved all records only when there are no
failures in any record in the call. Starting in API version 34.0, the default behavior allows saving a partial set of records for records
that have no errors. The deleteMetadata() call allows saving a partial set of records in all API versions.
Also, createMetadata(), updateMetadata(), upsertMetadata(), and deleteMetadata() now support a
new header, AllOrNoneHeader. This header enables the rollback of all metadata changes when some of the records in a call
result in failures. When this header is set to true, changes are saved only when all records are processed successfully.
createMetadata(), readMetadata(), updateMetadata(), and deleteMetadata()
For custom metadata types only, the metadata argument now has a limit of 200.
checkRetrieveStatus()
The checkRetrieveStatus(ID id, boolean includeZip) call now accepts a second boolean parameter. Use
this parameter to indicate whether to retrieve the zip file. This optional parameter enables you to retrieve the zip file in a background
service. By default, checkRetrieveStatus() returns the zip file on the last call when the retrieval is completed
(RetrieveResult.isDone() == true) and deletes the file from the server. Subsequent calls to
checkRetrieveStatus() for the same retrieve operation can’t retrieve the zip file after it has been deleted. By using the
includeZip parameter, you can retrieve the zip file in a separate process after the retrieval operation is completed. After the zip
file is retrieved by passing true to the boolean parameter, it is deleted from the server. For example, a background file transfer
service can call checkRetrieveStatus(id, true) to retrieve the zip file. This service is separate from another process
that polls the retrieval status by calling checkRetrieveStatus(id, false) in a loop.
describeValueType() (ValueTypeField)
ValueTypeField contains the new field valueRequired. This field indicates whether the described value type field must have a
value (true) or can be null (false). ValueTypeField is contained within DescribeValueTypeResult, which is the result that
describeValueType() returns.
deploy()
A new deployment option, testLevel, has been added. This option enables you to specify which tests to run in the deploy()
call. The values of the TestLevel enumeration are:
• NoTestRun—No tests are run. This test level applies only to deployments to development environments, such as sandbox,
Developer Edition, or trial organizations. This test level is the default for development environments.
• RunSpecifiedTests—Only the tests that you specify in the runTests option are run. Code coverage requirements
differ from the default coverage requirements when using this test level. Each class and trigger in the deployment package must
be covered by the executed tests for a minimum of 75% code coverage. This coverage is computed for each class and trigger
individually and is different than the overall coverage percentage.
• RunLocalTests—All tests in your organization are run, except the ones that originate from installed managed packages.
This test level is the default for production deployments that include Apex classes or triggers.
• RunAllTestsInOrg—All tests are run. The tests include all tests in your organization, including tests of managed packages.
The runAllTests deployment option in the DeployOptions object has been removed and is replaced by testLevel.

Request Metadata API Access in Professional Edition
As an ISV partner, you can request Metadata API access to Professional Edition organizations for your certified apps. After Metadata
API access is granted, your app can make Metadata API calls to customers’ Professional Edition organizations.
Streamline Managed Packages by Deleting Unused Components
When updating a managed package, you can now delete permission sets and custom settings. By removing components that are
no longer used by the app, you reduce its complexity and help create a more streamlined user experience for your customers. The
ability to delete these components builds on similar functionality that was introduced in the Summer ’15 release.
See Which Apps, Tabs, and Objects Count Toward Organization Limits
The number of custom apps, tabs, and objects that you can create or install in your organization depends on your edition and set
of products purchased. You can now easily track how many you’ve used in your installed packages and how close you are to the
limit for each.

Note: This feature is available to eligible Salesforce partners. For more information on the
Partner Program, including eligibility requirements, visit www.salesforce.com/partners.
In complex packages, the number of components can grow very large over multiple release cycles. Deleting unused managed components
allows you to keep your app clutter-free while you maintain and upgrade it.

Important:
• Deleting a component permanently deletes the data that exists in that component, deletes tracked history data, and changes
integrations that rely on the component, such as assignment or escalation rules. When you delete a component in a managed
package, you can’t restore it or create another component with the same API name.
However, no data or metadata is ever deleted in a subscriber organization without specific action by the customer. Subscribers
who upgrade to the new package version still have the deleted components available in their organization. They’re displayed
in the Unused Components section of the Package Details page. Keeping the components ensures that subscribers have the
opportunity to export data and modify custom integrations that involve those components before explicitly deleting them.

• It’s your responsibility to educate your customers about the potential impact of any components that you delete. Salesforce
recommends that you list all deleted custom components and notify customers of required actions in the release notes for
your upgrade package.

The following restrictions apply when deleting managed components.

• If a component is referenced by other metadata, such as workflow rules, validation rules, or Apex classes, you can’t delete that
component.
You can delete managed components declaratively from the user interface or programmatically using the Metadata API. In the latter
case, specify the components you want to delete in a destructiveChanges.xml manifest file and then use the standard
deploy() call. The process is identical to that for deleting components that aren’t managed. For more information about the API,
see the Metadata API Developer’s Guide. For more information about deleting components in managed packages, see the ISVforce Guide.

Data Residency Option (DRO) Feature Retirement

We are retiring the Data Residency Option solution on August 15, 2015. After that date, we will no longer support new installations,
and we will discontinue support for existing installations. While you can continue to use the DRO solution, we can’t guarantee it will
be compatible with future Salesforce releases.
Block Login from Users in Restricted Countries
To comply with U.S. export control and economic laws and regulations, and Salesforce’s corporate policies, users with IPs from
restricted countries can’t log in to Salesforce.
Continuously Enforce IP Addresses in Login IP Ranges
The Enforce login IP ranges on every request Session Settings option restricts the IP addresses from which
users can access Salesforce to only the IP addresses defined in Login IP Ranges. This option affects all user profiles that have login IP
restrictions.
Track Geographic Location of User Logins
You can now track the geographic location of the IP addresses of user logins from the Login History or Session Management pages,
or by querying the LoginGeo object.
Track Authentication Service by ID with Login History
The authentication service ID is now associated with a user’s login history. For example, this addition allows developers to create
reports that track the SAML or authentication provider configuration for a login event.
Simplified OAuth Flows for External Data Sources and Named Credentials
Previously, OAuth flows for external data sources and named credentials sometimes required users to click Allow on two consent
screens—one for the external system and one for Salesforce. The Salesforce consent screen no longer appears, simplifying the
authentication process.
Log In Once for Concurrent Apps That Use OpenID Connect
After users log in and authorize an application to access their Salesforce user data, they aren’t prompted to log in again when they
authorize other applications. This behavior applies to single sign-on using OpenID Connect (or OAuth, if a user logs in to another
Salesforce app).
Create Single Sign-On Settings from a File or URL
You can configure SAML for single sign-on by importing the settings from an XML file or public URL, instead of having to specify
them manually. This streamlines setup and lets you use settings from your identity provider easily.
Access SAML Metadata URL for a Community or Custom Domain
You can share the SAML configuration information for a community or custom domain with your service provider via a public URL.
The URL points to metadata that your service provider can conveniently use to configure single sign-on settings to connect to
Salesforce.
Edit Endpoints for Google and LinkedIn Authentication Providers
When you set up a Google or LinkedIn authentication provider, you can now edit the Authorize Endpoint URL and Token
Endpoint URL. In addition, you can edit the Google User Info Endpoint URL.
Choose the Logout Page for Salesforce Users
Direct users to a specific logout destination that maintains your own branding experience after they log out of Salesforce. Or, send
them to a specific authentication provider’s page.
Test and Use Advanced Networking Protocols
Apex callouts, workflow outbound messaging, delegated authentication, and other HTTPS callouts now support Transport Layer
Security (TLS) version 1.2, TLS 1.1, and server name indication (SNI). HTTPS callouts continue to support TLS 1. We recommend that
you test your callouts for compatibility in a sandbox before the upgrade.

SMS for Identity Confirmation Renamed in Session Settings

In Session Settings, under Identity Confirmation, the Enable SMS-based identity confirmation setting is renamed.
The new name is Enable the SMS method of identity confirmation.
Comply with FedRAMP Standards by Setting Minimum Password Length at 15 Characters
We’ve added the option to set the minimum password length for your organization at 15 characters. Requiring this minimum length
puts your organization in compliance with United States Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and
Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) security standards. Previously, the longest minimum password length you could require
was 12 characters.
Supported Login Flow Types
When you connect a login flow to a profile in your organization, only flows of type Flow are supported.
Two-Factor Authentication Available for Contact Manager, Group, and Professional Editions Through Permission Sets
You can now enable two-factor authentication in the Contact Manager, Group, and Professional editions by assigning a permission
set to users.
User Provisioning for Connected Apps (Generally Available)
Automatically create, update, and delete user accounts on services, such as Google and Box, based on changes to user accounts in
your Salesforce organization or Active Directory service. This feature dramatically reduces the time required to on-board new users,
update user accounts, or deactivate accounts. It also provides a centralized view of all user accounts across applications and services.
Connected App Improvements for Finer Control and Easier Administration
Salesforce introduces several changes to the administration of connected apps for quick adjustments to a connected app’s
configuration.
Get a Delegated Approver Using SCIM (System for Cross-Domain Identity Management)
Developers can use the REST API to get the ID and display name of the assigned approver for an approval process from Salesforce.
Get Quicker Updates on My Domain Name Propagation
The time Salesforce takes to check the status of the DNS propagation of a new domain decreased from 10 minutes to 30 seconds.
This change means you can receive notification that your new domain propagation is complete sooner than in previous releases.
Test Your My Domain Login Page Settings Before You Deploy the Domain to All Users
Previously, you deployed a new domain to your users to test the login settings. Now, you can set up a new domain and test the
login page settings without deploying the domain to all users.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Comply with Data Protection Requirements Using Platform
Encryption (Generally Available)

You can:
• Encrypt files and attachments.
• Encrypt certain standard and custom fields.
• Use an advanced key management system.
With Platform Encryption, sensitive field data is masked to limit who can see information. Controls help to protect your data. These
controls include the use of derived data encryption keys and customer-controlled key rotation, generation, and destruction processes.

Platform Encryption Process Flow

The encryption process follows these steps:

1. Data is sent to the application server.
2. The application server checks if the data encryption key exists in memory.
3. One of the following occurs:
a. If the data encryption key is found in the cache, the application server retrieves it.
b. If the data encryption key is not found, the application server reads the organization's encrypted active tenant secret from the
database. The application server then requests a key from the key derivation server with accompanying information such as the
encrypted tenant secret and release version. The key derivation server derives the key in the HSM using the master secret and
the tenant secret and provides it to the application server.

4. The encryption service encrypts the data on the application server.

5. The encrypted data is stored.

now support Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.2, TLS 1.1, and server name indication (SNI).
HTTPS callouts continue to support TLS 1. We recommend that you test your callouts for compatibility Available in all editions
in a sandbox before the upgrade.
Endpoints running older software sometimes fail to negotiate with TLS when TLS 1.2 or SNI are
present in the connection request. A TLS negotiation failure prevents the callout from working. Ensure compatibility with your HTTPS
callout endpoints before Salesforce upgrades your production instance to keep your HTTPS callouts functional.
If your instance is NA21 or your sandbox is CS32 or CS33, only TLS 1.2 is enabled in HTTPS callouts.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes User Provisioning for Connected Apps (Generally Available)

Automatically create, update, and delete user accounts on services, such as Google and Box, based on changes to user accounts in your
Salesforce organization or Active Directory service. This feature dramatically reduces the time required to on-board new users, update
user accounts, or deactivate accounts. It also provides a centralized view of all user accounts across applications and services.

User provisioning for connected apps captures user events (such as creating a user, assigning a permission set or profile, or changing
user information) in a Salesforce organization and applies updates to the corresponding account on a third-party service.
For example, you can configure user provisioning for a Google Apps connected app in your organization. Then assign the profile
“Employees” to that connected app. When a new user is created in your organization and assigned the “Employees” profile, the user is
automatically provisioned in Google Apps. Additionally, when the user is deactivated, or the profile assignment changes, the user is
automatically de-provisioned from Google Apps. You can also configure an approval process to request a manager’s approval before a
provisioning or de-provisioning action.
Add Salesforce Identity Connect to capture events in an Active Directory installation and apply user provisioning updates to an external
application. Identity Connect is an on-premise add-on that provides Active Directory integration with Salesforce. It synchronizes Active
Directory with your Salesforce user accounts. User provisioning for connected apps can capture Active Directory changes through Identity
Connect to provision or de-provision users on a third-party system or application.

User Provisioning for Connected Apps Benefits

A wizard for quick configuration
Run the User Provisioning Wizard to configure user provisioning.
Support for approval processes
Include an approval process to give management control over new user accounts and user account changes.
Stronger security
Automatically disable user accounts in third-party applications when a user leaves the company.
Auditing and compliance
Discover and manage the apps your users use. You can get a centralized view of all the accounts a user has across all connected
apps. Run reports and set up alerts.
IT efficiency
Reduce maintenance time on user accounts and save time provisioning users for applications.
Customization
Apex and Visual Workflow support for full customization.

Salesforce Summer ’15 Release Notes Connected App Improvements for Finer Control and Easier
Administration

User Provisioning for Connected Apps Requirements

A connected app for the third-party service
Any connected app can support user provisioning, including a “bookmark” connected app.
Named credentials
Named credentials identify the third-party system and its authentication settings. Calls to the third-party system, such as creating,
editing, or deleting accounts, use the third-party authentication settings in the named credential. For the named credential, you
specify a Named Principal, which can be an account on the third-party system or an OAuth authorization for an existing Auth. Provider
in your organization. The User Provisioning Wizard asks for this named credential.
A flow created with the Flow Designer
Flows manage provisioning requests to the third-party system. Salesforce provides a connectors package on the AppExchange
containing pre-configured flows to simplify your user provisioning setup process. You associate one of these flows with the connected
app using the User Provisioning Wizard.
For more information, see User Provisioning for Connected Apps in the online help.

Connected App Improvements for Finer Control and Easier Administration

Salesforce introduces several changes to the administration of connected apps for quick adjustments
EDITIONS
to a connected app’s configuration.
The following changes improve the administration and usability of connected apps. Connected Apps can be
created in: Group,

Edit user provisioning for connected apps account linkage settings on the user’s detail
page or connected app detail page
User provisioning for connected apps links a Salesforce user account with their account on a third party system, such as Google
Apps. Once linked, you can edit the account link settings in two places:
• (New) The user’s detail page in the User Provisioning Accounts section. From Setup, click Manage Users > Users.
• The connected app detail page. From Setup, click Manage Apps > Connected Apps and click the connected app name.

Get a Delegated Approver Using SCIM (System for Cross-Domain Identity

Management)
Developers can use the REST API to get the ID and display name of the assigned approver for an
EDITIONS
approval process from Salesforce.
Salesforce supports the open-standard SCIM specification 1.1 and provides extensions so that you Available in all editions
can edit and manage user properties using the REST API. When a developer requests identity
information from a Salesforce SCIM endpoint, Salesforce returns the data in JSON format.
The returned values now include the Delegated Approver’s ID and display name under the uniform resource name (URN):
urn:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:1.0.
For more information, see “Use the System for Cross-Domain Identity Management” in the online help.
