There are some neat features coming with the Spring ‘11 Salesforce.com release. Here are the ones at the top of my list:
- Official Google Chrome support
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this since… I started using Salesforce.com. Yay!
(link to idea) - In-line editing on Visualforce pages
This is a great way to improve the consistency of the UI. (link to idea) - Report Builder – type to search filter fields
This is one thing that I missed about the old report builder. It really speeds up filter creation when you can start typing to find a field. No more unnecessary scrolling!
(link to idea) - Notification icon for Chatter
This means you no longer have to check your Chatter Profile each time someone responds to you.
(link to idea) - Dashboard alerts in Chatter
Though we aren’t using Chatter much yet, this feature is a great idea, especially for monitoring gauges. (ie: ‘We just reached our national sales goal’)
(page 53 in release notes) - Profile photos on dashboards
While this might not serve a practical purpose, I think it really draws attention to the dashboard.
(page 54 in release notes)
I look forward to testing them soon in my developer sandbox.
