Salesforce is a platform that never sleeps!

The team behind this ever-popular CRM software is continuously advancing and innovating to provide users with the best possible experience.

With the arrival of the Summer '23 release, Salesforce introduces new features that are sure to catch the eye of its users. From the introduction of guided experiences to UI changes and other enhancements, the platform becomes more user-friendly and efficient for both novices and seasoned veterans.

In this article, we will delve into Modelit's top 5 picks from this year's Salesforce Summer Release notes — showcasing the platform's evolution and growth, and exploring how it elevates the user experience.

Elevating the Flow Experience

Flow UI Changes

The Summer '23 release sees Salesforce's ongoing dedication to enhancing the user experience. Subtle changes to the Flow UI have been implemented to make it more user-friendly, although these modifications may not be immediately apparent to users. Additionally, the platform's UI now boasts a refreshed and modern look thanks to a slight color change.

Real-Time Magic

Reactive Components in Flow (Beta)

The Reactive Screens Beta is a new feature introduced by Salesforce that enables users to create reactive components using formulas. This means that these components can update in real-time based on the values of other components. For instance, a read-only URL component with a formula can be updated in real-time based on the value of a Slider component. However, it's crucial to note that Reactive Components must be enabled in the "Process Automation Settings," and using this URL component hack is not recommended for production applications.

Experience Salesforce Like a Pro

New Guided Experiences Throughout Salesforce

In an effort to make their platform more accessible and user-friendly for novice users, Salesforce has put significant effort into the Summer '23 release. This update brings new guided experiences that help users learn how to use the platform's powerful declarative tools effectively. For instance, when building a screen flow for the first time, users will encounter an interactive guide that offers step-by-step instructions on how to create a flow. This guarantees that Salesforce's new users have the necessary knowledge to make the most out of the industry's most potent CRM tools.

Find Your Data Faster

Flow Data Table Search Bar

With the Summer '23 release, Salesforce has introduced a new feature to enhance the native Data Table component, which is widely used to display data. One of the major enhancements is the introduction of a search bar option for the Data Table. By checking a simple checkbox, users can easily add a search bar to the table, allowing them to navigate and locate specific data quickly and easily.

Revolutionizing Permission Sets

Field-Level Security for Permission Sets During Creation is Generally Available

With Object and Field Security on Profiles being phased out and Permission Sets taking over as the primary method for applying permissions, Salesforce has simplified the management of Field-Level Security for Custom Fields during their creation process. By enabling the "Field-Level Security for Permission Sets during Field Creation" option in the User Interface Settings, users can set up the field-level security for permission sets while creating custom fields. This eliminates the need to manually configure field-level security after creating a custom field, making the process more efficient. This enhancement strengthens the flexibility and power of Permission Sets, enabling users to exercise more precise control over object and field access.
