This is a great time to evaluate how specific features may be useful or impact the way your organization uses Salesforce. During each release, there is a group of sandboxes slated to remain on the non-preview instance (i.e. the current release) while there is another group of sandboxes that will upgrade to the preview instance. Use the Salesforce Sandbox Preview Guide to determine the plan for your sandbox instance(s). Use the tool where you can search by sandbox instance and then specify what you want to do with your sandbox — stay on the non-preview or move to preview. It will then instruct you to refresh your sandbox to get to the desired instance or inform you that there is no action needed because your sandbox is slated for the desired instance.

Salesforce Maps Summer 24 Update

To improve scale and performance, Salesforce Maps is updating its mapping framework from raster to vector. This update also improves integrations with Esri data and includes a refined user experience.For Summer ’24, Sandbox and Production Orgs will remain on Raster maps by default. You can enable the new Vector maps experience by enabling the “Preview Enhanced User Experience” setting in Maps Permission Groups.It’s best to test vector maps in sandboxes or with a subset of users in production environments before the production-wide upgrade affects all users in a future major release. At that time, Salesforce Maps will retire its raster maps framework.Salesforce Maps Summer 24 Update How does the vector maps upgrade affect my Salesforce Maps implementation? Some Salesforce Maps customers who implemented custom code under a MapAnything statement of work can experience problems with those customizations. Those problems can require updates, such as references to new APIs. Updating custom code may also require you to migrate code to a screen flow or Lightning Web Component within Salesforce Maps as a custom action.

Salesforce Summer '24 Sandbox Preview
10Apr

Salesforce Summer ’24 Sandbox Preview Announced

The Salesforce Summer ’24 release is coming soon. Salesforce Summer ’24 Sandbox Preview announced this week. Use your sandbox to get early access to new features and test your configurations before the production upgrade. Here’s how: If you still have questions about your sandbox options for Summer ’24, open a support case via Salesforce Help. Salesforce Summer ’24 Sandbox If you have questions about how Salesforce Summer ’24 Sandbox Preview may impact your Salesforce org, stay tuned to Tectonic’s Insights or contact Tectonic today. Summer ’24 is coming with lots of new features. Use your sandbox to get early access to new features and test your configurations before the production upgrade.  The sandbox preview window for Summer ’24 begins May 10, 2024. You must have an active sandbox on a preview instance by May 9, 2024 (the day before sandbox preview) to take advantage of the preview.  Here’s how… First, decide whether you want to: After you decide:  Usually, no action is required because your sandbox is already on a preview instance.   How Does Sandbox Preview Work? The sandbox preview is a 6-week window ahead of a major Salesforce release when all preview sandboxes are upgraded to the next major Salesforce release. It’s your first chance to test your configurations on the new release.  Sandboxes are updated in groups based on the instance where they’re located. All sandboxes on a preview instance get upgraded together, and all sandboxes on non-preview instances remain on the current release. The only way to change the upgrade status of a sandbox is to move it to another instance by refreshing it. If you want to move it to a preview instance, you must do so before the cutoff date.  Between now and May 9, 2024, we route all sandbox requests to preview instances. If your sandbox request is complete in time, we upgrade it to Summer ’24. On May 10, 2024, we reset all incomplete sandbox requests to a non-preview instance.  All pending and new sandbox requests are routed to non-preview instances until your production instance is upgraded to Summer ’24. We can create sandboxes only on the same major release version of Salesforce as production.   For the Summer ’24 Release, we upgrade the preview instances to Summer ’24 on May 10 and May 11, 2024, and non-preview instances to Summer ’24 on June 14 and June 15, 2024. Follow the basic process below if you want your sandbox to participate in the Summer ’24 preview.  1. Find your sandbox details.In production, from Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Sandbox, and then select Sandbox. Use the Release Type column to determine if your sandbox is on a preview or non-preview instance. You can also use the Sandbox Preview Guide to determine if each of your sandboxes is on a preview or non-preview instance. Enter your sandbox instance name(s). The guide tells you if it’s preview or non-preview and what to do to either move to the next release (Summer ’24) or stay on the current release (Spring ’24). You can also check multiple sandboxes and view the full list of preview and non-preview instances. 2. Understand the cutoff date. Every release, we give you a cutoff date for sandbox refresh completions, and usually, it’s the day before the preview starts. For Summer ’24, the cutoff date is May 9, 2024. Any sandbox created after the cutoff isn’t a preview sandbox. If you have a sandbox on a preview instance and refresh it after the cutoff, your sandbox is routed to a non-preview instance and reverts to Spring ’24. Resolution Should I Refresh my Sandbox? Here are the most common scenarios: It’s important to plan ahead. The popularity of the sandbox preview program often means backlogs in sandbox create and refresh requests, especially closer to the cutoff date.  Remember, if it’s a full sandbox it can take some time to copy. All incomplete sandboxes are reset to a non-preview instance before the sandbox preview starts on May 10, 2024, so we recommend that you request your sandbox at least a week before the deadline to improve your chances of getting a completed sandbox on a preview instance.  We aim to process each request on time, but we can’t guarantee the completion of your sandbox before the deadline.  I Want to Create a New Sandbox — What Are My Options? Create a new sandbox that goes to a preview instance and gets the Summer ’24 preview Create a new sandbox that goes to a non-preview instance and stays on Spring ’24 Submit your sandbox request well ahead of the 6:00 PM PT cutoff on May 9, 2024 (01:00 UTC on May 10, 2024) so that the sandbox copy is completed before the sandbox release.  Plan ahead. If you submit your request too close to the deadline and the copy isn’t completed, or if your request is after the deadline, your Sandbox is built on a non-preview instance. Wait to submit your request to create a sandbox until after 6:00 PM PT on May 9, 2024 (01:00 UTC on May 10, 2024). If you submit your request before then, your Sandbox can be built on a Preview Instance. I Have a Sandbox — What Are My Options? If the Release Type of your sandbox is: You want to try Summer ’24 in your sandbox You want the sandbox on Spring ’24 Preview No action needed. Your sandbox is already on a preview instance and gets upgraded to Summer ’24 on May 10, 2024. If you must refresh your sandbox for other reasons, do so well in advance of 6:00 PM PT on May 9, 2024 (01:00 UTC on May 10, 2024) to make sure that your sandbox is completed before the cutoff date.If you refresh your sandbox after the deadline or your sandbox isn’t completed in time, it is built on a non-preview instance. Refresh to a non-preview instance after the cutoff date to keep your sandbox on Spring ’24.To do so, wait to refresh after 6:00 PM PT on May 9, 2024 (01:00

Where Can I Find Release Notes and Bugs from Salesforce?

When Salesforce does a release, in addition to email notifications, you have a website you can access 24/7 to monitor release issues. This is where you can find Release Notes and Bugs. Salesforce Known Issues Site Once the Salesforce’s New Release is live, you’ll be able to see information about updates and available workarounds for technology bugs. Bookmark this page to check out in the future! Locating Release Notes and Bugs Here is an example: Release Notes and Bugs Salesforce periodically provides release updates that improve the performance, logic, security, and usability of our products. The Release Updates page provides a list of updates that can be necessary for your organization to enable. Some release updates affect existing customizations. Every time a release update is created, it gets scheduled to be enforced in a future release. We announce each update and its schedule here as soon as that schedule is known, but occasionally, updates are postponed or canceled. If that happens, we let you know in the section that describes that specific release update. Often, release updates provide a Test Run option so you can enable an update and examine any changes to your org, including changes to customizations, before that update’s Complete Steps By date. To view release updates, from Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Release Updates, and select Release Updates. Enforced with This Release These updates are scheduled to be enforced this release. Disable Rules for Enforcing Explicit Access to Apex Classes (Release Update)This update disables the requirement for a user running a flow to have explicit access to Apex classes invoked by that flow. This update was first made available in Summer ’20 and was scheduled to be enforced in Spring ’23, but we postponed the enforcement date to Summer ’23. Enable Content Sniffing Protection (Release Update) Help shield your org and network from malicious attacks with content sniffing protection. This change helps prevent the browser from loading scripts disguised as other file types when your users access external content and websites from Salesforce. This update was first made available in Winter ’23 and was scheduled to be enforced in Spring ’23, but we postponed the enforcement date to Summer ’23. Enable Sharing for Flow Orchestration Objects (Release Update) In Summer ’23, Salesforce enables sharing for Flow Orchestration objects. With this change the Manage Flow user permission no longer grants user access to Flow Orchestration objects. To cancel or debug an orchestration or to reassign an orchestration work item, a user needs the Manage Orchestration Runs and Work Items user permission, along with sharing access to Flow Orchestration objects. Users who run orchestrations and execute work items must still have the Run Flows user permission.

Salesforce Winter ’24 Release Highlights

Excitement is building in the Salesforce community. Dreamforce and the Winter ’24 release align within the same hot 30-day period, bringing a wave of new updates and announcements for the Salesforce ecosystem. Salesforce Winter ’24 Release Highlights are amazing. As the release date approaches, focus should be on two key aspects. Preparing your sandbox and knowing the upgrade timeline for your instance. Salesforce Winter ’24 Release Date: Understanding when your production instance will undergo the Winter ’24 release is necessary. To determine this, check your instance on Salesforce Trust by clicking on your instance name and selecting “Maintenance.” This will reveal the specific date of the Winter ’24 release for your organization. It’s essential to conduct thorough testing of your main use cases before this date to ensure a smooth transition. Release weekends for Winter ’24 are scheduled on: If you’re unsure about your instance, navigate to “company information” within “Setup” on your Salesforce platform. Winter ’24 Sandbox Preview Information: Equally critical is understanding how and when your sandbox will be upgraded, providing the first opportunity to test the new release within your custom Salesforce system. Salesforce has two release windows for sandboxes based on whether they are “Preview” or “Non-Preview” instances. Most sandboxes are expected to undergo upgrades on Aug 26th, 2023. Stay tuned for additional information on Sandbox previews. Winter ’24 Pre-Release Org: Pre-release orgs offer an excellent way to familiarize yourself with the new features ahead of sandbox upgrades. Existing preview orgs have been upgraded with the Winter ’24 release. For those without a pre-release org, sign up for a Winter ’24 Org to explore the latest features. Winter ’24 Release Highlights: While the dates are significant in the Salesforce release cycle, the most anticipated date is the official release of “Salesforce Release Notes.” Expected in early August 2023, consider these notes as providing the first insights into the features and enhancements. They are the first look into what will be applied across the entire Salesforce suite. And its always great to be the first to know. As the Salesforce community eagerly awaits these milestones, stay tuned for updates and announcements to make the most of the upcoming Winter ’24 release.

Salesforce Objects and Fields

Salesforce objects and fields are analogous to database tables and the table columns. Objects and fields structure your data. For example, the central object in the Salesforce data model represents accounts—companies and organizations involved with your business, such as customers, partners, and competitors. The term “record” describes a particular occurrence of an object (such as a specific account like “IBM” or “United Airlines” that is represented by an Account object). A record is analogous to a row in a database table. Objects already created for you by Salesforce are called standard objects. Objects that you create in your organization with the user interface or with the Metadata API are called custom objects. Objects you create that map to data stored outside your organization are called external objects. While this insight describes all of the objects available in the API, your applications work with only the objects that you are authorized to access. Programmatic access to objects is determined by the objects defined in your organization, your organization configuration, your user permissions and access settings (which are configured by your organization’s Salesforce admin), your data sharing model, and other factors related specifically to the object. Most of the objects accessible through the API are read-write objects. However, there are a few objects that are read-only. This fact is noted in the description for the object. For details about the data types and size restrictions for each object’s fields, see the Salesforce Field Reference Guide.
