3 New Ideas on the Product Roadmap Admins Will Love

By

The IdeaExchange is your home base for sharing ideas for product improvements or new features with the Trailblazer Community and Salesforce Product Managers. Anyone with a Trailblazer.me profile can champion their favorite ideas by participating in Prioritization cycles three times a year — typically in January, May, and September. We’ve already started to deliver winning ideas from IdeaExchange Prioritization. In fact, you can see a few of the top ideas that will be delivered in the Winter ’21 Release next month plus top ideas already delivered in the Spring ’20 Release.

We’re thrilled to announce that, thanks to the collaborative efforts of our community and product managers, three new winning ideas are now in development from the May 2020 Prioritization cycle. Let’s take a moment to celebrate and learn about the ideas that have been added to our roadmap.

1. Analytics winner: Inline editing of reports

Provides inline editing for reports so that you don’t have to drill into each record separately to edit it. Similar to list views, provides the ability to double-click onto a record and do an inline edit right there without leaving the report. Estimated GA Release: Spring ’22.

2. Platform winner: Share button in Lightning Experience

Includes the ability for users to manually share records with other users and manage who has access to specific records they’ve shared. Estimated GA Release: Summer ’21.

3. Sales winner: Opportunity Queues

Allow opportunities to be assigned to a queue. Team members can select opportunities to work from this shared pool. Estimated GA Release: Summer ’21.

Psst… September 2020 Prioritization is open now!

Prioritize top ideas from the IdeaExchange right now to tell us which features you want Salesforce to build next for Summer ’21 and beyond. You can allocate 100 virtual coins to your favorite ideas on the Prioritization list now through September 28. Are you new to Prioritization? We can help you get started with this short demo.
