  1. Hi John,

    Can you pls update the “Describe the different types of tabs an administrator can create.” section to add the Lightning Page and Lightning Component Tab options.

  3. Hi John

    I am debating on the following question.
    By default, search results are limited to records owned by the logged in user. My answer is True.
    If I am wrong then please let me know how is it False?
    Can you guide me?
    Thanks

  4. Hi John,
    Debating on following question.
    By default, search results are limited to records owned by the logged in user. Is this True or False? I think this is True.

    Please guide me.
    Thank you

    1. Security isn’t usually based on ownership of records, operability is. So, if you own a record ( or are higher up in a hierarchy) you can usually edit (obviously create) share and delete, permissions withstanding. But you can still search for other data that you have permission to view via permission sets, profiles, sharing rules, etc.

  5. John, it seems that System Overview is only available in Setup when you turn on Enable Improved Setup User Interface setting. Without it on I couldn’t find the System Overview anywhere in the Setup menu

  6. Hi John/All,
    How to enable or add records to Public Tags in Salesforce?
    I was able to Enable Personal Tag and assign Records of different objects to it.
    But couldn’t able to see Public Tag anywhere in My Developer ORG setting or anywhere.

    As i read above I disabled the Topic and tried but not able to view Public Tag anywhere.
    Is this Public Tag now not available in SF anymore?

    1. Hello all,

      I cant seem to locate where to tag records… cant find anything on the top right hand corner.

      Am I missing something?

      Edit: Scratch that, I see that I have to enable personal tags from setup.

  10. Hi John

    i am going for my ADM 201 on 23/2.
    i got your mail about updates to the site great work as usual.
    I haven’t really looked at the lightning experience, but i am going to go through your UI section again.
    Do you think i will be ok with that, and if there will be any specific questions on my exams about the use of the lightning experience.

    thanks

  11. John, at about 1:53 in your video you said that the Quick Access Menu is not dependent on Profiles or permission sets…so when I went out to enable it for myself in my company’s prod environment, I couldn’t find the option to check…..then I saw the other youtube link that you shared (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnO2a3m76o4) which at about 0:22 says that this needs to be enabled at a profile level or via a permission set.

    Thank you for creating this awesome site and for the quick responses you provide for questions people have in each topic.

  12. correction ….in line in applications and tab in last point
    this following line
    Otherwise, there is no correlation*(connection) between tab visibility and object-level security.
    thank u

  13. hi john,
    I m not able to view any videos regarding visual force …can you please check whats wrong…it says videos are removed…or can you provide any other correct link i can watch…
    thank you.
    Tejal.

  15. Hey John,
    I really like the video you created that allowed you to navigate SF and narrate at the same time. This is something that can be helpful for creating training materials. Would you mind letting me know what software you’re using for that? Would it happen to be JING? Thanks!

  16. Hi John, the What is VisualForce? [Must / Medium / Salesforce.com] doesn’t seem to work.
    I get the following error the SFDC site: Oops, the page you’re trying to view isn’t here

  17. i AM UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE BELOW FEATURES EVEN AFTER ENABLING OR DISABLING THEM , ANY OTHER SOURCE FOR THESE?

    Enable Customization of Chatter User Profile Page
    Show Custom Sidebar Components on All Pages
    Enable Drag-and-Drop Scheduling on List Views
    Enable Separate Loading of Related Lists

    1. Enable Customization of Chatter User Profile Page
      -not sure about this one, will have to have a look
      Show Custom Sidebar Components on All Pages
      -if this is DISABLED, then CUSTOM home page components on sidebar will only be displayed on the home page. A really confusing settings actually, I leave this enabled. If disabled the sidebar will remove custom components when the home tab is not selected…
      Enable Drag-and-Drop Scheduling on List Views
      -not sure on this one
      Enable Separate Loading of Related Lists
      -allows the page to load related lists separately- this can allow a partial page load more quickly if you have a lot of related lists. Often enabled in data intensive or orgs with large sections of related info (e.g. long account page)

  18. I think I can easily retain a high level understanding of topics like Buttons and Links. Similar the the brief descriptions you have on the right. But, am I expected to know any of the coding details for the Admin 201 exam?

      1. Ok, that I can do. Thanks for your quick response and also for such a useful site. I spent a lot of time looking for books, but this is even better.

  21. Hi John,

    How to enable public tags? Under Setup| Customize| tag settings – Enable Personal tags checkbox is available , however; Enable Public tags is not available?

    Where to check for this option?

    Thanks.

    1. oeps, disregard my remark. The part you’re referring to “Salesforce Console for Sales” is not included in the newer URL link 😉

  24. I was trying to check out the Tags feature, but I’m unable to turn on public tags. I understand that Public Tags aren’t there if Topics is turned on, so I tried unclicking “Enable Topics” in Setup/Build/Customize/Topics/Topics for Objects, but that doesn’t seem to have made a difference (in fact I still see the “Click to add topics” on the object bar, although it doesn’t do anything). So is it the case that Public Tags are simply no longer available?

  25. Seems like a lot of content dedicated to this section on UI, given that this is only 1% of the admin cert exam. John, would you agree that UI is really only 1% of the exam as noted in the Salesforce Study Guide? Or is it common to see more than a few questions covering these topics in the admin cert exam?

    1. I make be taking a more liberal definition of what UI constitutes and including content that may be covered in other sections of the SFDC study guide. I do believe that you should have a strong understanding of the content covered in this section, although I can’t attest to the exact % of the exam to which it pertains.

  27. Hi,
    In the KEY FACTS column for the text: “When an organization wants to replace standard page layout functionality with a VisualForce page, the standard button (e.g. New, Edit, etc.) must be overridden with a custom button that invokes the VisualForce page.” Is “custom button” technically correct? It looks more like we override a property of the existing standard button.

  28. Hi John,
    I have seen mini page layouts concept somewhere, but not sure about them. What are those for? Are they covered anywhere in the tutorial? Thanks!
