Salesforce has introduced row-level formulas in its Summer '19 update. This allows admins to create custom formulas to display in the report builder, simplifying the usage of various metrics without the need for new fields on objects. Despite being a Beta feature, row-level formulas can be easily enabled in the setup under report and dashboard settings.
Salesforce is introducing a new feature called "Salesforce Celebration" in summer '19, aimed to celebrate sales landmarks. Whenever sales representatives achieve certain predefined sales milestones, a confetti animation appears on-screen. Administrators have full control over the frequency and triggers of the celebration. The feature is designed to boost morale and add an element of fun to the sales process.
The custom object's record should be set as "Public Read Only" for visibility to all users but editable only by the owner. In case of picklist field edits, the record will auto-assign to the editing user's groups through Process Builder, allowing them edit access while restricting the previous assignee. A profile giving 'Read' and 'Edit' permissions and user-assigned queues are also needed in this setup.
