In this post, I would be only talking\u00a0about Generally available (GA) features, excluding pilots and Beta. Saving those awesome features for suitable time to come. So, here\u00a0are some of my favorite picks from Spring 17<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Composite Resource<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Imagine we are doing REST API call from external system by creating Account first and then contact. In between if internet connection is gone or user closes browser and only Account created without contact ? \u00a0From Spring 17, we can reduce number of REST API calls made by combining them in single request. Advantage of this feature would be easier transaction management and API limit saving.\u00a0You can have up to 25 subrequests in a single call. Up to 10 of these subrequests can be query operations, including Query, QueryAll,\u00a0and “Query More” requests to obtain the next batch of query results.<\/p>\n

reCAPTCHA on Web-to-Lead and Web-to-Case<\/h3>\n

If you are using Web-to-Lead or Web-to-Case for your Salesforce instance, you may\u00a0already know the spamming problem. From this release, we can add reCAPTCHA in web forms which will reduce spamming problem drastically.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, even this is not full proof solution. If spammer knows your Org Id, they can easily copy paste Web-to-Lead or Web-to-Case code without reCAPTCHA and start over again. However, I will say, something is better than nothing.<\/p>\n

Bookmark your favorite pages<\/h3>\n

Your Salesforce user navigates same pages over and over and everytime they use minimum 4-5 clicks ? Its time to save the click using favorite feature for Lightning user interface. We can bookmark any page in Salesforce and then navigate quickly by using favorite icon available at top right corner as shown in below image<\/p>\n

Limit global search to specific Object<\/h3>\n

In Global search, now we can limit our search to specific object only, saving clicks and improving speed.<\/p>\n

Filter Reports via URL Parameters<\/h3>\n

Like Salesforce classic, we can create a report URL to dynamically filter on report. We can use\u00a0fv0 , fv1 …<\/strong>\u00a0etc in URL to specify filter. fv0 represents first condition, fv1 second and so on.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Example :<\/p>\n
