The IdeaExchange is where you can share ideas with the Trailblazer Community and Salesforce Product Managers. Use your voice to shape Salesforce products by posting and upvoting ideas throughout the year and prioritizing top ideas three times a year. During each two-week-long Prioritization cycle — typically in January, May, and September — we give anyone with a Trailblazer.me profile 100 virtual coins to allocate to the ideas you want to see on the product roadmaps. Then, we use the results to determine which new features to build for upcoming releases.
More than 8,000 of you told us which ideas were your favorites on the list in September 2020. High-fives to everyone who participated! Here’s a look at the winning ideas you’ll see delivered in future releases.
1. Sales winner: Field history tracking for tasks and events
Enable field history tracking on tasks and events, so that admins can view who made changes and what the prior values were. Estimated GA Release: Spring ’22.
2. Analytics winner: Ability to print dashboards
Users will be able to print dashboards directly from Salesforce in a usable format, so they can directly use it in their presentations. Estimated GA Release: Winter ’22.
3. Analytics winner: Custom fields for Dashboard Gauge Values
Use custom fields as an input for the Dashboard Gauge Values instead of having to hard code all values. Estimated GA Release: Spring ’22.
Now through February 1, prioritize top ideas from the IdeaExchange to tell us which features you want Salesforce to build next for Winter ’22 and beyond. Are you new to Prioritization? Watch this short demo to get started.
