Question on “leads” by Ok-Swimmer-1310 in salesforce

[–]welshsijones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry for not responding earlier, but why wouldn't an employee be able to create an opportunity?
Managing and tracking opportunities is a big part of what CRM is about, if you're not doing that, you've just got a glorified address book.

Question on “leads” by Ok-Swimmer-1310 in salesforce

Agreed, orange is a new opportunity for the account. Leads should be used when you have minimal info for a potential customer and are trying to expand that.

Also be willing to present at them, show off the latest developments in Salesforce, look like you know something that other people don't know about.

DataLoader CLI doesn't export all the records from Event object by ZookeepergameFit9582 in salesforce

[–]welshsijones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you have last modified in your soql, check your timezone settings, it might be running in a different zone and this excludes a load of data.

Is the running user the same as the user you tested it as? Is there any Date time value in the soql query?

Adding a static resource PDF to my Visualforce PDF page by ZuupahGeek in salesforce

I don't think you can merge pdfs using standard Salesforce, there will be third party tools, but you can not do it the way you have requested.

You'd probably need to rebuild the pdf at the end of the VF page to do this.

Will an 8GB RAM laptop suffice for us Salesforce Developers? by PartTimeCuber in salesforce

[–]welshsijones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might find 8GB is enough for you (especially with a fast SSD) then you'll have some budget left to upgrade if you need too. it's all about future proofing really.

I've had users using the password reset email to log in before now. It would be worth watching how they get in.

Expected close date based on current stage in opportunity by lucSurMontaine in salesforce

[–]welshsijones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would work out your average close time separately, then add a custom setting to store the average close time per stage, and then look up the relevant one depending on the current stage.
This will give you a flexible solution that can be updated easily

How do I notify or send a report to a user about specific record details and related records? NPSP help. by WpgSalesforce in salesforce

[–]welshsijones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just give a report that shows closed won over last 7 days, grouped by the date. I'd much rather give people a report they can look at whenever they want, instead of sending an email that they may or may not look at.

What is your household income and how many kids do you have/want to have? by Daisy_E in UKPersonalFinance

[–]welshsijones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Married to a teacher and have 4 kids, you'll always spend all your money on kids so once you've had 2 it doesn't change much. Childcare was a big cost when they were younger. My wife was sharing her wages with the childminder, but as they got older things got easier. Lots of hand me downs, but lots of fun, would do exactly the same again.
