00:24 Jason Atwood: CloudFocus Weekly is brought to you by compliance locker by Arkus. Capture all chatter posts, deletions, and files available for free on the Apple Exchange. Take it for a spin at compliance-locker.com. I'm your host, Jason Atwood, and joining me fresh in the new year.

Justin Edelstein: We've spoken the new year. I,

Jason Atwood: Justin Yes, and then what else what else would going on? I was just been a really crazy kind of it's beginning of your stuff Yeah, well, we do know we have like the beginning of the year stuff that we do like here at Arkus We do like a off-site where we go and executive sales kick off exactly why yeah Well ours was actually in Tahiti or one up in Hawaii the I,, The blog never stops because many people and only few podcasts. Can't stop, won't stop. I think from the blogging perspective we are pretty, or like a juggernaut from the podcasting perspective because it takes the two of us, individuals,

Justin Edelstein: You know, it's tougher. Two in the month of January is not great. It's a tough one. Yeah, so but you know, we were back. So we have back we have plenty to talk about we have actually

Jason Atwood: We're gonna make 15 cuz spring 15 is launching now like the actual release date

Justin Edelstein: My boxes I've been playing around here on spring February 6th like Yeah, next. So the first is February 6th, the 13th and 14th. So two weekends, everybody's going to get the upgrade. I think we'll be on the 6th. We have four blog posts already posted and live. internet thing the interwebs that fat a series of tubes that fat has long been gone but yeah we have four we have a rapid reaction to the release note yes I see here that was published by Justin else and was we the Y team should be excited nice we have a enhancements and we have a an ideas being delivered in spring two more coming right yeah there are right one of them and there's another one that should should be posted early next week as well yeah so that'll be a total six more after the more after the more after the more after the more after the more after the more after the more after I?

04:29 Jason Atwood: Discuss. Discuss. Amongst yourselves. Yes, why don't we start with your blog post. Sure. The Salesforce. I, I can't really recall if we talked about this or not. I don't think we did because we said we're gonna talk about the next week and then next week didn't happen for three weeks.

Justin Edelstein: So I'll pick one that I don't think is covered in any of the other blog posts. Sure. Which is the first. The first thing I mentioned, which is subscribe to receive report notification. Yeah, this is a neat one. So I think this is pretty cool where users can now sign up for notifications and stay up to date with specific metrics within a report. Yeah, which is kind of the. Cool part about it right. So you set criteria around what you want to be to or notified upon. define things like every time the condition is met or the first time the condition is met. So let's use a really simple example. You have an opportunity report and you want to know when the grand total of all the opportunities in the current quarter go over X.

Justin Edelstein: So you can get notified via a Salesforce one notification. Okay. You can get notified via a post to the chatter feed of the report. Better. You can get an email sent to you. Really useful. Very useful. And you can execute a custom action. Ooh, like what? I'm not sure what you would do there. I mean a custom action HONOR report. I don't know what you would do to be honest create a record of a notification I can't think of it out change your criteria or unsubscribe or whatever. I think that's cool.

Jason Atwood: Yeah, so I wonder, do the reports need to be scheduled at that point? Are they scheduled reports?

Justin Edelstein: It's actually a subscribe. It's a different button.

Jason Atwood: So it's not a schedule, it's a subscribe. So you can subscribe to a report that even isn't scheduled.

Justin Edelstein: That's my understanding. Yeah, I haven't done it. I haven't played it. No, I know I'm just I'm asking the questions that if I were sitting there with I don't think I don't feel like it needs to be Scheduled because it can happen at any time. This is like Analytics in the background. Yeah, I mean I know cuz it's, it's a change event right an opportunity closes for $50,000 or whatever and you're subscribing to say show me whenever in this quarter, it goes over $50,000,

Jason Atwood: Well, boom, you're going to get a notification. Well, that's the thing. So I think it's happening is it's basically another type of schedule. Because once someone subscribes to that data in that report, then basically that report is now under some,

Justin Edelstein: Is being looked at more often, right? It's being... I would say it's being looked at constantly. can't be constant but it could be on a schedule like every five minutes ten minutes hour but everyone could be subscribed to the same report with different criteria right but it would still fire once every ten minutes or five minutes who knows how often it's gonna fire my guess is hourly i was gonna say real time no i was gonna be my guess no way why not Because it's just too much processing power. This is why Salesforce will convince

07:54 Jason Atwood: You in having as many scheduled reports as you want. And scheduled dashboards. If it was real time, they'd say, yeah, open it up. Everybody can schedule a million dashboards now. There's a hit to the service to Ral to do it. I guess it's hourly. I mean, if you're thinking about something, you're going from... having to go back and check it or to get that report once a day to now you can actually, it'll get within an hour. I think that's pretty good. I mean, I'd be happy with that. But we'll see. I think it's a great feature. Mine's more basic. This is kind of like one that I'm not, I mean, I know people have asked for this, but I actually saw this in a sandbox the other day and I was like, oh, that's kind of neat, which is the standard address fields now show Google Maps in line.

Jason Atwood: So there used to be a package you could install. And you dropped a Visualforce element on the page layout that allowed you to show the Google Maps of an address. But now it's kind of like just built in, like straight built in. It is, as you noted in the thing, it is static, which kind of is weird because when you look Google Maps. Basically everywhere you You could have a different zoom level. You could maybe have satellite or not satellite because because basically it's just taking a picture and it's putting it there. But I like that. Standard address fields. Show Google. maps. Yep. Cool. That's two from the Salesforce spring 15 release rapidly The next one, why sales team should be excited about spring 15 written by the man who should never be mentioned Although now if you look at it, you'll see his name.

Jason Atwood: Yes, that's come Well, it's always had his name at the bottom right now He but now it's literally his name and when it was published this was published on January 14th at 123 p.m His name is in lights.

Justin Edelstein: Yes So he gives us three examples. So we'll each pick one and leave one behind. Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and pick this sales path. I know the easy one the thing I know the least of the least about okay Good job a lot about the other two So I'll make sales path which is the thing that was demoed at Dreamforce if you were there at the if you were at Dreamforce at the sales cloud product keynote. Yep Which we were. Get used to that folks, because things are going to start happening like that. This is not in the desktop browser, quote unquote, aloha UI. This is coming out on the mobile only, but it's coming to the mobile, to the regular UI, safe harbor. Don't know. Definitely. I don't know the answer. But the notion behind it is that you have different sales processes like you do today.

11:10 Justin Edelstein: And within each sales process, you have like coaching or guidance to tell you what to do at that step in the process. And that's what sales path is all about. it leads you down the path of creating a successful you know, conversion or sale. So when you're looking at it on, when you're looking at an opportunity on, say, your iPad, because I feel like that's probably gonna be the best way to look at this, not on the phone, you'll see a little thing across the top that will understand where you are in the sales process. Based on stage. Based on stage. Right. And... I think even record type, so each record type can have its own different paths, which allows for some more flexibility. You'll see links to documents in chatter or files or what have you that would help you and guide you towards actually closing a deal.

Justin Edelstein: Well it shows you my understanding,

Jason Atwood: And again I've seen it demoed and looked at it, looked at the SEDUP of it. It basically is gonna highlight the stuff that you need to do or fill out in this thing. Which I think is- While you're at this point. Right, so it's great actually, I mean I have to write the blog post that's coming up, I'm actually gonna be taking a couple of these, cause this is something that, in a very complex- opportunity system where you have many fields and they are, I mean I was looking at one, the other day probably have like 100 custom fields on an opportunity because just a lot of they collect but in different stages you know you can you know the way you do it now either record types with different page layouts or put them in sections is a lot you put them in this section this section this section this way to really highlight what you need to get done so So I think it's...

Jason Atwood: It's a usability thing, but it's also like getting people to focus in in a training aspect to make it easier for someone to get up and running on on a on an opportunity because they know that, oh, these are the ones that to fill out. So it's kind of a dumbification. Having an only on mobile to me is goes from being a, oh, I'm kind of excited about this feature to meh. Because again, I. I'm not anti of mobile kids. I love me some mobile. Especially my take on. Especially his mobile Madden.

Justin Edelstein: But anyway, here's my reason the reason why they did it this way. opinion. So, my guess is that this was built in the lightning framework. Ah. And the lightning framework doesn't exist on the desktop. And until it does... That's when we'll get this on the desktop. That's my guess. Okay, I have no Absolutely, no basis for saying that it's just if it's on the mobile In all likelihood is built on the Lightning framework and I don't really see a reason why they would build it twice to then eventually have to retrofit it back Great.

14:10 Jason Atwood: Well, that's a neat one. We're skipping over duplicate management. So because that's, I think, something we've talked about a lot. I think we've probably, it's something we're going to talk about a lot for a long time because it's, you know, it's the coming of an age. But I'm going to go to the one out of here, which is work.com, which is getting some, it's getting more and more sales for sized, which is nice. Actually, a lot of objects are getting a little bit of a... Salesforce, Standard Objects are getting some love.

Justin Edelstein: There's some core love in this release. Well,

Jason Atwood: But Work.com, as predicted by the 2015 predictions from Jason M. Atwood, now we're doing thanks badges and skills are now included as part of a Sales Cloud user for free. So they're actually built in making more and more Work.com free.

Justin Edelstein: More and more, meaning one more feature.

Jason Atwood: Well, yeah, but that's, you know. And as badges in spring, did badges go, your badges went in winter 15, right? Went to a standard object. With standard behavior, and now they show up in your thing as thanks all the time. Just very weird. I don't get it. Someone please tell me. My recent items always has a thanks badge. And you know what? I've never gone to research why. I just it just annoys me and I'm like and I gotta go and I always think oh I should go figure out why and then I get distracted But So like they're starting to sort of move it more into the core of the app And as they do that I think they're saying that you know the value of work.com Which we are a you know safe harbor or not safe harbor full disclosure.

Jason Atwood: We are a purchaser of work.com Is becoming you know more integrating it into Salesforce again? There's no better prediction than to say Salesforce will buy Product X, will charge for Product X the year after they buy it, and the year after that they will put Product X or pieces of Product X into the platform for free because that has been a very, very common theme. So anyway, I'm kind of excited because I love the concepts around work. Wasn't crazy about the way it was integrated There was some real holding, you know some real things that are left out and it's basically a matching of two things together Kind of like with you know duct tape and sometimes a duct tape you could see it around the edges And this is there stuck

Justin Edelstein: In a weird Time in If we look back 10 years from now and look back on the Salesforce history, they were stuck in between force.com and Salesforce one What I mean by that is they were they were kind of stuck in before they made the full commitment to Aura and Lightning, right they were getting platformized before that and therefore we're in this weird framework. That never really came to fruition.

Jason Atwood: And it's sort of this part of, it actually goes back to, and maybe this is getting a little too deep, but it goes back to their application development lifecycle, which is agile and scrums, and scrums are based in these sprints, and sprints change, and you never are planning out. more than so much ahead. You're only kind of saying here's what we're gonna do, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do this, this, and so to sort of have five-year roadmaps or whatever is more difficult because you're doing sprints and then they do three releases a year so that it always can change and you see that happen all time. They're gonna do X and then it doesn't come out or all of a sudden something brand new will come out because they got pushed that way.

17:44 Jason Atwood: Again, I'm happy because I love the concept of work.com. I think it has value. I think it is something that should be more and more built into the system like Chatter is. It just has that feeling to it, like ideas. The idea of charging for ideas. Well they used to, and now they don't, but they used to. I think mobile, I think it's something that would... adds more value when built in for free. And then you can have the premiums and, oh, if you wanna do coaching and other stuff, maybe you pay for it, but. So that's coming in Spring 15, I'm excited about that. And they're actually fixing some of the stuff that they kind of broke in some of the pilots, so. Are you sure they ever charged for ideas?

Justin Edelstein: Yeah. I'm not. I'm not certain that they ever charge for it. They did very originally No, I don't think I don't think so. You don't you don't think so.

Jason Atwood: I do not Well, it was a license you had to buy it. Well, you had his own Salesforce license. I think it has own license type it I do not believe it. It was an ideas license. No, I think there was a force.com license and

Justin Edelstein: I believe there was a Portal license that you could use ideas with I don't think there is an ideas license there was We'll have to go back in the annals.

Jason Atwood: Yes Make sure just don't okay moving on don't say it again, please Next up is salesforce.com service enhancements very exciting services.

Justin Edelstein: All right. Yeah I'm the ones again. I'm gonna go with the first one really nice as you're picking first. I always pick Well, who's always go for are you pick first? I don't want to pick first. All right No, I'm gonna go with the first one because I think this is gonna be a super productivity tool. This is this is cool Yeah, so this is I want this everywhere. Let's say what this is. This is what is it macros in case feed Macros so this is an idea that from what I understand Zendesk has had for a while When people move from Zendesk to Service Cloud, they miss their macros. That's why they're always looking for success stories. Hey, has anyone moved anyone off Zendesk onto Service Cloud so that we can tell that story?

Justin Edelstein: And when people move, they get like, it's like the idea of a macro doesn't get translated well in the discovery. So it seems like it's just workflow, but it's not. So the idea of a macro is The best way for me to describe it is like a flow actually a headless flow that can be kicked off by a support agent and basically they can say you know click a couple of actually like using command keys and kick off a series of tasks that happen so. They can take a case and hit some command keys or click to run a macro and all of a sudden a status will change. A chatter post will go will be posted and an email will be sent out to the... contact on the case and be logged as an activity all in one fail swoop instead of having to click all the buttons to do all of that stuff.

21:01 Justin Edelstein: They can define their own macros, administrators can define global macros. This is a great, great... not only productivity enh unfocused for a support agent but something that and i think service cloud has been ahead of the game on this the whole way with just pushing the platform as as like service cloud the product is to me always a little bit ahead of sales cloud the product when it comes to like console case feed with feed first we just talked about one that That actually

Jason Atwood: Is a head on the other side, which is the, now I'm forgetting the feature,

Justin Edelstein: The sales path. Well yeah, but sales path is very salesy, right? But you could see that be like a support path.

Jason Atwood: True. Right? Same thing. You're foothold this part of this case. Here's the stuff you should be focusing on.

Justin Edelstein: So I mean I think service cloud's been ahead on a lot of things pushing the platform.

Jason Atwood: But I think there's stuff like an opportunity, opportunity history and stuff like that that only exists in opportunities.

Justin Edelstein: Anyway, I'm not gonna argue this. Doesn't matter. There's a macro widget. I'm sales your service. It'll be a macro widget that will be available within the console. You can select, run these macros. and you can actually watch everything happen in front of you as you're running the macros, which is kind of neat. So macros, get ready service people, macros, get ready to build some of those out. Again, think of them like headless, flows.

Jason Atwood: Yeah, I think, I mean, I think if I don't break it down for an administrator, I'd say it's... It's like workflows that users can set up and share amongst themselves. That you don't as an administrator have to set up. That are da relent. That you can da You can set them up in front of. You can share them. You can kick them off. You can sign the key commands. It's like personalized workflows. I guess if I were gonna easily say it... All right, I'm going to pick as I was like, it's like coffee. So I have to flu there. No, no, a little bit, a little bit. The throat's getting a little dry. It's been a while. I'm losing. We haven't podcast in a while. It's true. Social customer service. Now, this is this is one of those things that I feel like I have not got my hands on this.

Jason Atwood: So everything I say that's absolutely wrong. Please hold against me or hold against Justin or hold against me. But this is something that like has been a product, has been an app exchange product. It's been like, I feel like it's been floating around for years as something. There's been solutions to this. It's something that I feel like we, they saw, we, they demoed like a dream force four years ago. right from within Salesforce. There used to be a package, the Facebook and, what is it called, Facebook and Twitter or social?

Justin Edelstein: It's like Salesforce social. It's still in our org somewhere. We gotta get that. Yeah, get rid of that.

24:04 Jason Atwood: But what it used to allow you to do was sort of integrate your Twitter and Facebook pages. Posts and you could pull them in they'd come in as objects Records as objects and you could respond to them. They would post back to the things you could turn them into cases But they basically product eyes this and pulled it in as a actual product within Salesforce so you can now basically Just like you can kind of do it with emails or you can you know the emails kind of built into cases and you can reply to it and you can kind of interact from an email level, which is different than anywhere other based in Salesforce, you know, the incoming and replying to. Now you can kind of do that with Facebook and Twitter. Right within the case.

Jason Atwood: Without a radian 6. Without radian 6. Without a radian 6. Right. So this is cool because I mean again, you know, where's the world going in terms of support and This is another example of Radiance 6, just getting pulled, like a piece of it pulled out and stuffed into... Yeah, just put it into Salesforce. You're making hand signals. Now, question, do you need to have Service Cloud to have this? Or does this work with any... That is a great question. I think you need Service Cloud for this. You need Service Cloud. This is another sort of step up into Service Cloud. This isn't just a, if you have cases, you can do this. No.

Justin Edelstein: So that actually was talking to someone recently and was running a user group meeting about Service Cloud and I was talking to him. more in depth about it prior to the meeting just to get a better understanding of like where the breakdown is because you know there's their sales cloud which includes some of the service cloud features like primarily cases right but then when you go to the service solutions but when you go to the service cloud you get an exponential amount of features added onto it, starting with the console, and then all these other features that we've been talking about here, and the ability to do live agent, and there's a couple of other things that are on the roadmap that I probably shouldn't even talk about. We'll leave those off. Good job. Sorry, I just started down a path and then realized I'm going to say far over this whole conversation Well, we've been talking about things that are actually in release notes out.

Justin Edelstein: It's about to talk about something that wasn't But I won't but you can probably figure it out You probably can

Jason Atwood: Alright, then that brings us to our last blog post. It just went up yesterday, two days ago, called Ideas Being Delivered in Spring 15. This is not all of them.

Justin Edelstein: No, because there are a lot. Over a hundred. Over a hundred. So I think... Ashley, who wrote this, picked a bunch or a few. And why don't we, why don't we talk about, I think she broke it down into like a couple of different sections like objects and process builder. So process builder itself being generally available covered a bunch of ideas. So why don't we just say process builder is becoming generally available. It's going to cover. And it's going to change the world of workflow. Yep. Forever noise. ways. Maybe not always but forever. So I'll go ahead and pick one of those.

27:43 Jason Atwood: Actually, you know what? I'm in the adi exchange and I'm just gonna pick another one. But go ahead. Pick another one. Yep. Okay.

Justin Edelstein: I will pick one of hers because she took time and did some of this stuff. So I'll go ahead and pick the... Customize the condition logic and process builder. Okay. So basically, and I'm going to actually open up the idea. So I give the person whose idea this was some credit. So Mary, Mary who we know as an MVP, wanted to be able to similarly to reports or other workflows, have the ability to have some control over the selection logic within an action group of with within the process builder, so she wanted to be able to use like simple and or criteria one and two or three and basically you were unable to you always had to do one or two or three or one and two and threes was either hands or oars Right so being delivered in spring 15 you can customize the condition logic Much like list views workflows Reports so on and so forth which is nice.

Justin Edelstein: You should be able to do that. That's that's why things are in Right, that's why that's why things come out and aren't ready for for for prime time

Jason Atwood: There are a bunch you know As as a I don't know long-time Salesforce person the one that I'm the least excited about maybe I'll do least excited about Yeah assets Becomes a real object. I wrote about and gets a tab. I wrote about that and mine doesn't doesn't isn't just a child of accounts anymore I mean, maybe it makes it a semi-usable thing. I don't know. Assets are not something that I've used very often. I usually immediately hide them and get them out of there. So people are not like, what's an asset? Don't touch it. But it's nice to see, again, it's nice to see an object that you kind of felt like was on the chopping block, about to get its head chopped off and turn it, get one of those emails coming in summer 15.

Jason Atwood: Assets will no longer be available. Sorry, so it feels like oh, you know you get either get one of those emails Or you get the email that says or you get the email or you can see in the spring the police notes It's like oh, we're actually gonna we're actually gonna pay attention this object now, which is

Justin Edelstein: Good So I'm gonna take what you just said yeah and spin it into a whole other conversation about field history tracking Yes, but first okay, but first I know you did but first I'm gonna say One more idea that just because we need to, you and I needed to circle back on this, which was the ability to create custom lookup fields on activities is marked as delivered in spring 15. It was in like a private or in an open beta from winter 15. So we were right. We saw that. It just was a beta. So now it's nice delivered in spring 15. You can have custom lookup fields on it Remember when we said that and we said it was coming remember. Yeah, now it's coming now. It's coming. Go ahead That was an idea delivered.

30:55 Justin Edelstein: Thank you. David answer with 18,810 points Actually from eight years ago this idea so I died an eight-year-old idea. That's nice mark delivered in In the idea exchange it actually says 82.

Jason Atwood: I have they're showing me my list of ideas that are delivered in spring 15 so hmm. I don't know why it says hundreds, but whatever fact-checking fact-checking that's me So what do you want to talk about you want about field tracking?

Justin Edelstein: You had something that you kind of wanted to talk about It's not like a setup. It is a bit of a setup. So we got an email a couple weeks back, two weeks back. Between the time when we last recorded a podcast and this recording. About 17 years ago. So about 17 months ago, we got an email saying that Salesforce is... upgrading or updating it was one of those two words you can take it either way. The way that they do field history tracking to increase the number of fields per object that from 20 to what 60? So this is called this is when this is this is the Mary Poppins Go ahead and explain it. Mary Poppins,

Jason Atwood: Which is that a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down. So couple releases ago, if you remember, doo doo doo doo doo doo. They used, there was something that came in one of the releases that said that they were going to start to limit the amount that was tracked. And they said it was gonna be. They said they were gonna do about a 12-month or 18-month limit for field history tracking. It was gonna hit one of these releases. It obviously pissed off somebody. That happens by the way. Oh yeah, it did. And they pulled it. They said, oh, we're gonna reevaluate. That was like a couple releases ago. I don't remember which release, but I remember reading it going, ooh, people aren't gonna be happy about that. And my guess is that someone from a company like the company we used to work from said, Yeah.

Jason Atwood: One of those biggie wigs. Yeah. It's like, we're paying you like a hundred million dollars a year. You're not going to do that. Sorry.

Justin Edelstein: Sorry. Because if we hosted this ourselves, we'd never do that. Blammo.

Jason Atwood: Private cloud. So anyway, it got pulled. And so this is the new iteration of that, which is now I they're doing a double thing. A double dipper. And I read it again in the release notes and I probably should have it in front of me. I don't But maybe we'll talk about it in in subsequent podcasts. But it sounds like they're doing a little bit of, you know, one thing is you can only So that's that is current that's current functionality. OK, let's say 60. And I can put the difference 50. It. It's some number greater than 20. Right.

Justin Edelstein: They And so, but you can keep the 20 that exists today if you don't want to opt in.

34:01 Jason Atwood: Right, if you don't want the new tiny new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new Which critical update do you have to do?

Justin Edelstein: We don't work in an industry, the two of us. The need, the history of more than 20 fields.

Jason Atwood: I ran into one the other day, actually, you and I personally, for our business. No, but I was in a client org two days ago, and I went to go click a new field, because we had a new field that had some ability. I wanted to be tracked. I went to click it and said, you're at your limit. And I had to go unselect two others. Actually, it was an opportunity, so I unselected close date and stage, They're already tracked in an opportunity stage, so you don't need to track them twice. and I put these other two new fields, I thought, a, Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Reports with Boolean logic, you know if field went from this to this put this in a report You can't do that in chatter and even with compliance locker.

Jason Atwood: You can't do that at all You're shaking your head no violently, but you're drinking Okay So I was out of all the like, you know out of all the things that I would that I get testy about, a. What sales force notification M to get your better

Justin Edelstein: This is not one of them I was in an org, the other had notification banners on. I was really surprised.

Jason Atwood: I've gone into the orgs in the last week, which is crazy. And they the Who would have thought would have turned it off? I don't think people know how I think people think by little cooking the little X that you're turning it off But they're not turning not only just turning there's a new for himself anyway I feel like these you know activities go into an archive state after 12 months I think what's nice is that there isn't out now. It's a payout Again, I think they're s storage. It costs us money fine, keep it, but you're it. I'm hoping it's reason if it actually was just b you just signed up for th a per license per whatever just data volume and you How much do you want? Again, I'm sure the way they're gonna do S it's a per user per month thing and then it maybe doesn't make as much sense All right.

37:52 Jason Atwood: And anyway cool all that that wraps us up for the spring 15. We do not know what we're gonna do next time Look we owe we owe like a I don't know some kind of special possible very special very special podcast, okay Maybe we'll do that. So I feel like we owe like a comeback to like like a movie slash TV episode or something kind of like fun that we when they dig into our lives but let let's dig into our lives now with the focus app pick of the week okay I will let you go first for the first time ever That's not true.

Justin Edelstein: So someone sent me this. I haven't tried it.

Jason Atwood: Seems extremely useful. This is like 75% of all your picks are. I haven't tried this. I crowd source my picks.

Justin Edelstein: So this just seems really useful. It's called Salesforce Switch. Okay. From the fine folks at Tequila. Whom some of which we know from the MBB program. Okay, so what they did was they built Now think about I want to I want to think through this first with you think about migrating data into an org that has a Ton of workflow rules and a ton of triggers and a ton of stuff going on validation rules. Yep So Salesforce switch is the ability to. You log in, I believe it uses for Roku. Yeah, they tell you. Heroku and a Salesforce metadata API. I don't I don't know how it offs. I imagine it's no off, but basically, it pulls back to you. your validation rules, your workflow rules and your triggers on any given object and it has a quick toggle to disable and re enable the like the workflow or the trigger or the validation rules.

Justin Edelstein: So you can very quickly turn things off through the you know, through the metadata API. Load up your data, move your data, do whatever you're gonna do with your data. I love moving my data. And then turn everything back on. It's very, very useful. Very smart. Very smart. Very useful. Wish I had with it. Bootstrap looks pretty cool. Very very good idea. Is it scaring you that I'm logging into our org right now to use it? Very yeah a little bit. Very very good idea. find folks at tequila. Very, very cool.

Jason Atwood: We like it. Thank you very much. Querying metadata. Building a list of validation rules, workflows, and triggers. There you go.

Justin Edelstein: So you're using it right now.

Jason Atwood: If you like the key, let it... I don't know. That's why that song is coming in my head. Something... Why is that song? What is that song? Feel like pina colada. Yeah, why is tequila and bikini cool? That's that's you know, not me. All right. Well, I'm clearing the metadata.

40:53 Justin Edelstein: Why make my pick cool pick free free as in free and these folks are- Are from the UK.

Jason Atwood: Nice. I like it. Good job. Good pick Mine has a little bit of what eves what eves for what's gonna happen this weekend If you are due in this planet, you probably don't disable all these. That's very cool. That's really cool. Well done Well done. Oh good job, anyway So this weekend is Super Bowl Sunday the national pastime of of most Americans. So everybody will be eating and drinking and bedding about the pages versus Seahawks. But for the first time ever, I think, the Super Bowl will be available streaming. And the only way to watch it streaming... is on the NBC Sports Extra Application. I'm picking the one for iOS. I've actually used this app for a long long time, they've had their Sunday Night Games on this app for a long, long time. With different camera angles and such, right?

Jason Atwood: Well, no, not the app. That's if you go online, you can do the different camera angles. The app just allows you to watch it. But it's nice, you know, again, we're getting to this weird world where Thanks for watching. Bye. TVs and iPads are kind of merging because you can almost watch anything on you know and we have we didn't do our CES episode because I was sick, but There's there's something about and there's a new cable service. That's a streaming cable service. That's all it's just cable But it's streaming all of it

Justin Edelstein: With TBR and you know what angry I was yesterday? Yeah, so I realized... So angry to interrupt my awesome pic? Yeah, yeah, I realized that my TiVo didn't record the new episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Oh no! So angry. But I was like, alright, no big deal, no big deal. There's FX now on my Apple TV. and I click the Oh, I guess I never did this before so I went to activate it and then it's like log into your cable rider My cable rider wasn't there. Yeah, no angry. I get when that happens, happens. Oh, why? Why change cable providers? You don't know So annoying Sorry, I see.

Jason Atwood: Anyway, so NBC Sports Extra for iOS it's You can download it and you will to watch the Super Bowl on your on your mobile device Which would be cool if you like your if it's halftime and you got to go from one house to another you can just watch It as you walk across the street which I might be doing You could have it in multiple rooms. You could put it on another you know Another, another TV or again our iPads It's a great app. I mean you get to watch it actually streams it very well It's not really just. It just gets you just want to boil your brain out because it's the same ad over and over and over again Anyway NBC Sports extra fry less free By NBC Sports available.
