Agenda

4
The Hype
§  Salesforce1 Mobile App Sales Cloud Demo
§  Salesforce1 Platform Overview and Demo

Is it a mobile app or a platform ?
6
§  It’s both
§  You can’t configure the Mobile App without the Platform
§  The Platform can operate in Salesforce1 mode without installing the
mobile app on a device
§  There’s no need to think of them as being separate
§  Start thinking of all your changes in terms of both traditional and mobile
users
§  But, you can always switch it off

Is it a mobile app or a platform ?

What can I do with Salesforce1
14
§  Declarative – i.e. clicks not code
§  Compact Layouts
§  Expanded Lookups
§  Publisher Actions exposed via the + button
§  AppExchange Apps for Salesforce1
§  Code
§  Flexipages (hopefully not for long)
§  Visualforce Mobile Pages
§  Canvas
§  3rd Party Applications (Dropbox, Evernote, …)

§  Problem:
§  Need app to take pictures of shop displays to check channel is providing the
agreed amount of space
§  Before Salesforce1 (30+ days)
§  Use Salesforce Mobile SDK or Heroku to write hybrid app using PhoneGap to
access the camera
§  Deploy to users
§  After Salesforce1: (< 1 hour)
§  Create a custom object ‘Site Visit’, or use an existing object such as Case
§  Enable the Mobile Smart Actions in the Page Layout
15
Customer Example 1 – Configuration

§  Problem:
§  Need an app that lets employees share locations so they can find each other and
meet up on site.
§  Before Salesforce1 (30+ days)
§  Salesforce Mobile SDK or Heroku to write hybrid app using PhoneGap to access
GPS
§  Test on different devices & Deploy
§  After Salesforce1 (< 2 hours)
§  Create custom object ‘Check In’ with a Geolocation field
§  Create Mobile Vf page for user Check In
§  Create Mobile Vf page to display all people in radius using GoogleMapsAPI
§  Add VF pages as tabs and to Mobile Navigation menu
16
Customer Example 2 – Code & Config

How to use
18
1.  Download the Salesforce1 Mobile App
2.  Switch on (or off!) the Salesforce1 Mobile Browser View
§  Mobile Administration -> Salesforce1
§  Individual users can disable in their Personal Information too, or switch into Full Mode
ad hoc
§  Can use https://<instance>.salesforce.com/one/one.app URL to test in browser
3.  Configure (optional, but recommended)

§  Alerts when key events happen - mentions, approvals, comments, posts,
task assignments (Spring 14)
§  Cannot be programmatically issued – yet
§  Two types
1.  In App Notifications
2.  Push Notifications
§  Notifications are from across all communities (Spring 14)
§  Displays only 20 most recent
19
Salesforce1 – Notifications

§  Setup -> Mobile Navigation
§  Configure the tabs visible for Mobile users
20
Navigation

§  Optimise standard page layout for users who are mainly mobile
§  Use Mobile Cards for SF1 App Users
§  Expanded Lookups provide a preview of a related object
§  Visualforce pages to extend the output (e.g. external sources)
§  Mobile Cards appear above the Related Lists on the last card
§  Compact Layouts
§  Define which fields appear in Chatter after a publisher action is used to create a
record
§  Fields displayed in the highlights, preview cards and expanded lookups
§  Create one per Record Type
§  Generic for all user profiles
21
Mobile Layouts

§  Ensure you enable Publisher Actions first!
§  Use Object Actions when specific micro-moments on those types of
records
§  Use Global actions when common to all objects, or that need to be
available everywhere (e.g. Log a Call, Add Task)
22
Publisher Actions

§  Action Layouts should be limited to just the object mandatory fields and
those pertaining to the micro moment.
§  Use the standard actions (Log Call etc) to speed up config
§  Can have different actions for each Record Type (New <RecordType>)
label
§  Use Pre-defined values to set defaults for the micro moment
23
Action Layouts

§  Visualforce
§  A mobile enabled Visualforce page
§  Canvas (DE and Pilot)
§  A mobile enabled Visualforce page containing a reference to an external app
§  Like standard Publisher Actions available in both desktop and mobile
modes
§  Need to be added as tabs to appear in the Mobile Navigation
§  Need to be based on the Object’s StandardController to appear in
Publisher Action Menu
24
Custom Actions

§  Define what Object View(s) to use and which Object(s) recent items as cards
§  Use to standardise default view on objects
§  Or create ‘at a glance’ menu items for Sales, Service etc
§  Requires basic XML
§  Can only be uploaded via the Force.com Metadata API (including Workbench)
§  You specify:
§  Name of the Flexipage
§  The Object and the View(s) to include
§  The Objects to include their Recent Items
§  Any Publisher Actions
25
Flexipages

<componentInstanceProperties>
<name>entityName</name>
<value>Delivery__c</value> 
</componentInstanceProperties>
<name>filterName</name>
<value>Todays_Deliveries</value> 
<componentName>flexipage:filterListCard</componentName>
…
<name>entityNames</name>
<value>Delivery__c,Return_Item__c</value> <!– The Objects -->
<componentname>flexipage:recentItems</componentname>
…
<quickActionName>New_Delivery</quickActionName>
…
<masterLabel>Deliveries</masterLabel>
27

§  Flexipages
§  Visualforce (HTML5 & CSS3)

§  Custom Development Limitations on Salesforce1

1.  Salesforce1 can be a bit buggy
2.  List Views are only visible to users if they use them in the main app
3.  Refresh after making changes
4.  You can deep link to Salesforce1 screens: com.salesforce.salesforce1://entity/view?
entityId={Account.Id}
5.  Things seem to disappear…or was it me?
6.  Social profile pics…
7.  Slow loading of each app/layout
8.  Recent Objects takes time
9.  Save As on a Page Layout resets to the Global Actions
10. Image formula fields work in SF1 but not in Chatter Feed
