Image Slider vs Media Manager

Salesforce user management goes far beyond onboarding and offboarding—every profile change, license assignment, record transfer, and deactivation adds up.

We’re excited to bring you the latest Media Manager Summer’25 update and this time we focused on how important it is for users to update file and record details quickly without navigating away or interrupting their workflow. With this in mind, we focused on improving the Media Manager experience by introducing a smooth and powerful inline editing capability. This release also marks the official deprecation of Media Manager V1, encouraging everyone to transition to the modern and feature-rich V2.

The wait is over — AGrid Summer’25 is here, and it’s packed with powerful upgrades that put you in the driver’s seat of your Salesforce data like never before. Whether you’re an admin streamlining complex configs or a user on the move, this release delivers lightning-fast insights, dynamic calculations, and flawless cross-org migrations — all with zero coding.

As an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) building apps on the Salesforce platform, ensuring the security and health of your package code is critical.

As a Salesforce ISV, you need to be aware of the risk of SOQL injection attacks. This type of injection attack allows attackers to execute malicious SOQL statements in your ISV package, potentially bypassing your application’s security measures and gaining access to sensitive data.

The Aura framework powers the Lightning Components architecture, which allows developers to create responsive and dynamic web applications using the Lightning Experience interface. However, one potential vulnerability in Aura is its handling of asynchronous code.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a significant security vulnerability that occurs when attackers inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities are one of the most common types of security issues that web applications face today. In this blog post, we will discuss the XSS vulnerability that arises from using the innerHTML function and the measures you can take to prevent it.

If you’ve been using First-Generation Packaging (1GP) to develop packages on the Salesforce platform, it’s important to note that Second-Generation Packaging (2GP) is not just a simple upgrade to version 2.0 of 1GP. Instead, 2GP represents an entirely new and improved approach to package development, offering new ways to manage and develop apps and metadata.

The Feature Management App (FMA) is a powerful tool available to Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) on the Salesforce platform. It enables an ISV to use LMO-to-subscriber feature parameters to enable or disable new features or to control how many of a given resource a subscriber can use. An ISV can also enable features for a limited trial period. Additionally, the app allows to utilize subscriber-to-LMO feature parameters to track preferences and activation metrics, providing the ISV with valuable insights into how their customers are using their managed package.

Salesforce Admins often find themselves in a bind when it comes to managing licenses. It’s a task that requires constant vigilance—ensuring that licenses are assigned correctly, not wasted, and always available for new users.

In the fast-paced world of Salesforce administration, speed and accuracy are paramount. Whether it’s onboarding a new hire or deactivating an exiting employee, delays and errors in user management can lead to security risks and operational inefficiencies.

Managing users within Salesforce, especially when handling multiple roles, permissions, and profiles, can be a time-consuming task.

Welcome back to the second part of our User360 journey, where we continue exploring efficient user management in Salesforce. In this blog, we build on the configuration steps from the previous post and dive into the practical application of User360 templates for streamlined user creation workflows.

User360 provides predefined templates to automate and streamline the offboarding process. By allowing administrators to create customizable offboarding workflows, User360 helps ensure tasks such as user deactivation, permission revocation, and record transfer are handled accurately and consistently. This automation reduces manual work and lowers the risk of human error in the offboarding process.

Offboarding users in bulk within Salesforce is a complex task that requires attention to detail and precision. In Part 1 of this series, we explored how to configure offboarding templates with User360.

Debugging production issues in an ISV (Independent Software Vendor) org can be complex and high stakes. As an ISV, you manage not only your applications but also their interactions with Salesforce environments and other integrations. Production environments, with their live data and active users, demand careful handling to avoid disruptions and ensure smooth operations.

Transferring records in Salesforce can be a complex, time-consuming process, especially during employee transitions. From terminations to role changes, ensuring that records are properly transferred between users is critical to maintaining business continuity and data integrity.

Transferring records in Salesforce, especially with multiple users and objects, can be complex and time-consuming. Ensuring accurate and seamless data movement without manual intervention is critical for maintaining business continuity.

In our previous blogs, we discussed how User 360 helps create powerful Transfer Records Templates to automate complex record management tasks. But once those templates are set, how do you put them into action?

Deactivating users in Salesforce often involves multiple steps, making it a time-consuming task—especially in large organizations. From transferring record ownership to removing permissions, each step adds complexity to offboarding.

A similar concern was raised on Salesforce IdeaExchange, highlighting the inefficiencies users face without robust inline editing options for these field types.

Salesforce list views are an essential feature, giving users quick access to important records and helping streamline routine tasks. But what happens when you need more than just the basics? Can your list views adapt to complex requirements?

Salesforce provides essential tools for managing files and images, enabling users to attach and preview files within records. However, its native functionality lacks advanced features like comprehensive file organization, and enhanced file previews.

Filing an auto insurance claim is rarely a smooth process. Long wait times, unclear coverage details, and complex paperwork often make an already stressful situation even more frustrating for policyholders.

Managing Salesforce files and attachments can often feel like navigating through a maze. Users face challenges such as disorganized file structures, inefficient navigation, and difficulties in accessing relevant files tied to specific records. These hurdles not only slow down productivity but also lead to frustration.

Salesforce license management is a critical aspect of maintaining cost efficiency and user productivity.

If you’ve been following along, you already know the common Salesforce user management headaches: wasting hours on manual updates, juggling licenses that cost your company money, and struggling to keep permissions accurate and compliant. These issues aren’t just annoyances—they impact your team’s productivity, security posture, and ultimately, your company’s bottom line.

Creating or cloning a Salesforce user feels harmless—just a license here, a permission set there. Yet manual user management remains the silent budget-bleed in every org’s Salesforce user management playbook. Each click steals minutes, and every minute multiplies across onboardings, role changes, offboardings, and mass record moves. Add up the hours and you’ll uncover hidden costs that erode productivity, inflate spend, and expose compliance gaps. Below, we shine a light on seven expenses that stay invisible until user management stays manual.

Even seasoned Salesforce admins know that user setup itself isn’t the culprit—it’s when scale meets small mistakes that productivity grinds to a halt. One misclick in a complex environment can demand hours of repair. Here are the seven biggest time‐sinks, ranked by admin hours lost and the frustration they create. Time estimates come from community surveys and Trailblazer feedback.
