You’ll also learn how to gain access to a Commerce Cloud Sandbox and connect it to a Salesforce.com DE Org for testing some of the basic connectivity with Marketing & Service Clouds using OCAPI and the new Salesforce connectors.

In Dreamforce ’17, Visual Flow became beautiful as well as useful. We’ll use a real use case to show you how to integrate Lightning Components within Flows and vice versa. We’ll also explore other features, such as the ability to link Flow with Process Builder.Finally, we’ll cover the new and upcoming features that will help you fall more in love with this #clicksnotcode tool.

So, you’ve got marketing and sales team doing their jobs, the deals are being closed… but who, or what should get the most credit? What is the deal-to-lead ratio?
The question is important – not just to distribute rewards and congrats, but also for production capacity planning, optimising marketing budget…
I will show how to use Sales Cloud (yes, good old reports and dashboards), Pardot, and B2B Analytics tools to get figures in front of decision makers. We will also see how to organise processes so that the data gets into reports with as little pain as possible.

What if changing the order of 2 fields on 15 layouts took only 2 minutes? And assigning/removing all the permission sets for users changing roles in your org took 30 seconds instead of umpteen minutes? Salesforce DX can do this for admins and much more. It is the essential power tool for all things Salesforce!We will give you a full tour of the aDmin eXperience – starting with how to setup DX, what basic knowledge you need in order to increase your daily productivity and how to analyse if your most tedious tasks can be automated.

Technology has made office work easy. So easy, that humans don’t need anything but the warm glow of a computer screen, an email program and coffee. Staring at screen for hours can cause you real damage. People forget that our bodies have limits. But since the effects are not visible physically, they are highly ignored. Therefore, the systems that you work with should help you in keeping fit rather than encouraging you to work more.In this talk, I will speak about Time Out, a Lightning Component which helps you in keeping healthy. It is nicely packed in the utility bar. Lightning components in the utility bar have superpowers – they persist across various pages of the application, without being affected by your navigation. In the background it has a Javascript timer running, which informs you at desired intervals that it’s time to stretch, do some exercise or take a walk. That’s not all, when connected to your coffee machine, you can order your coffee from your seat and enjoy it with some fresh air.

You should attend this talk if you want to know more about:

Lightning Components
Utility Bar and Utility Bar API.
Microcontrollers
How to connect Salesforce to a coffee machine using a Microcontroller.

This talk is a Proof of Concept, to give you inspiration on what different stuff can be done using Utility Bar and various IoT Modules.

Testing your code can feel laborious and hard. Dependencies can make tests hard to follow and understand. Thankfully, the Lightning Platform has tools to make testing faster, easier, and more exciting. Join us for a deep dive into advanced testing topics including mocking, stubbing, avoiding the database, and writing custom assertions. Never heard of those? That’s OK, we’ll introduce and demo exactly how they work, and why.

In this talk, we will share our experiences in preparing dev teams and business processes across the enterprise for a likely DX switchingDX is undoubtedly excellent with the stratospheric hype around it. But before speeding onboard, we have to strive on aligning the delivery teams to outfit for a DX impact

Like any other modish stuff, as an imperative task, we need to work on strengthening the service layer to ease the connectivity with the modules around. If not, we will end up doing a series of successful proof of concepts and will fall-flat when we adopt this implementation to an end to end operational execution.

As the metadata will keep its XML format, we have to improve our understanding on how can we

* Leverage XML files with code editors as GIT is a bit rusty with them

* Efficiently sync it with GIT as a primary step before moving to DX

Also, find a bunch of things acted as a part of the preparation

* Enforcing an IDE for developers

* Understanding the core concepts of how GIT works, with Salesforce metadata and code files

* Defining and tuning deployment workflow in different scenarios

* Component development workflow

* Conflict resolution for particular metadata types

* Understanding the reason behind DX metadata split formats

* Each field to a separate XML file, this format can change. we can store it differently based on our project

* Managing the conflicts with the tricky profiles and custom labels

* Getting inspired by the delivery flows, dependency management and versioning from open source java/JavaScript projects in GIT

* Relevant use of tools like Ant, Gulp, Grunt, Web pack in transforming our source info to build ready with ease

We believe that DX will flex the packaging and deployment process with similar ease as npm. DXifying your salesforce processes isn’t just a collection of utilities but needs a change in mind set.

We all love the enthusiastic presentation of the Salesforce communities for Developers, Admins, and the whole Salesforce Ohana.
However, our experience shows that in real-life (IRL, or DLVV “dans la vraie vie”), Salesforce implementation projects have their surprises, difficulties and lessons learned.
In this presentation by experienced senior Salesforce consultants from Devoteam (ex-Altius), we will share some true stories about Salesforce projects IRL/DLVV : we will tell you about our errors, their consequences, the lessons we learned and the advice we would like to share with you.

Have you ever needed to find out why a process isn’t running as expected, or why you are hitting limits? There comes a point in every Admin’s journey when we need to get under the hood and the standard UI isn’t enough. Join me as I talk through some key use cases for these admin friendly ‘developer’ tools.

Building apps that are highly customizable is now easier with an ability to reference Custom Metadata Type records in formula fields and validation rules. Define the logic and leave the configuration up to the admins. And as you app gets more complex, understand dependencies between components better with all new Dependency API and new “Where is this used?” feature available for custom fields.

Have you ever felt that your Salesforce development workflow could be optimized and you asked yourself how others are doing?This session gives you fresh ideas how you can utilize SalesforceDX and the new Salesforce CLI in your day by day business – admin or developer alike. Even if you haven’t started using DX at all, identify those parts which can be adopted immediately – DX is NOT an “all or nothing” option! And not for developers only, either. Find out what fits your needs and get inspired how your future development could look like.
Getting started with easy but powerful steps to utilize bash-scripts, work with JSON responses from the CLI and learn how widespread technologies like NodeJS and oclif.io fit into the picture as well. Take some ready to use snippets back home to help yourself to start with automation.

Lightning quick actions empower you to create useful, responsive, and intelligent page layouts your users will love.
How many times have you been asked to add yet more fields to a page layout, and you shudder at the thought of users having to scroll ever further down the page, frustrated when they can’t find the fields they want to see? Do you ever wish you could display key fields in their own section to give them better visibility? Perhaps you have to manage multiple page layouts because a small group of fields aren’t relevant to all users?
We’ll address these common, everyday layout issues and do a step by step demo on utilising quick actions so you can leave the session with real, actionable solutions, no code required.
This session is perfect for Admins who want to take home Lightning enhancements offering immediate, visible benefit that can be delivered quickly.

As Lightning developers, most of what we implement are user interface components. As our code base grows, there is a strong need for service (non-graphical) components to structure our apps and avoid code duplication. Join this session to get an overview of available base Lightning service components and learn best practices that will allow you to build custom services. We will demonstrate this architecture by looking at a service component that calls server-side actions.
