  1. Hi John,

    If you uploaded multiple images into a document folder and wanted to move them to a new document folder, is there a way to move the files all at once?

  2. Hello John,

    I checked the ‘Overwrite users’ personal tab customizations’ checkbox under Tab settings for a custom profile and saved my changes and profiles tab settings were overwritten. However the next time I pull the profile record for editing the checkbox is unchecked. Is this an expected behavior? Should it not retain my selection?

    Regards,

  3. John – I got lost on the piece bout creating a “new” app to have the company logo appear… Seemed to be ok up until accessing the “new” app to see the logo on the home screen. Any ideas?
    Thanks – Tom

    1. When you create/modify an application you can specify the logo. When the app is selected, that logo will appear in the top left of the screen (where the salesforce icon is typically)- try adding an image, you’ll see 🙂

  4. hi john,
    Im In big trouble i gusess…:(
    i started learning saelsforce by last week , and tried to make one app.
    everything was goin good till i got idea hat i made big mistake while i was making objects for app.
    by mistake i made that object in some other app(i.e. also custom app)
    and then i m trying to remove it then its prompting me msg that i have that object related to other object so i can not delete it
    but yes i understand why it show me that error ,i m scared here that when i delete that object …then i have same object in my currently working app.
    so what should i do at that point..
    Want to clear one more thing is like in this practice application i was working on warehouse application
    in that i had 3 objects
    i.e. merchandise, invoice and line item
    that was my current app(learning sForce)
    but i was trying bfore to work on with recruitment app
    and that also i done till middle of it
    till the junction object topic arrive.
    and by mistake i made line item on that also(i.e. on recruitment)
    it was unknowingly
    i really dont know when i did that..
    so trying to get rid of that line item from recruitment
    but its showing me related with some other app
    so not able to delete
    tel me if some short solution for my long and silly problem.

    1. You should be able to delete the objects – it should tell you where the object is referenced if it prevents deletion. Then remove that reference.

      When you remove a reference dependency, you also need to empty that from your deleted items (look at the bottom of the list of fields/objects).

  5. I would add 2 notes:

    1. If horizontal space doesn’t allow for all Default On tabs to appear, instead of a horizontal scrollbar, the rightmost ones disappear behind the (+) icon.

    2. It’s somewhat counter-intuitive that the set of tabs is defined by the app, but what tabs are on/off/hidden is defined by the profile or permission set. This means that you cannot create two apps for the same profile with different tabs hidden by default. E.g. sales manager might want Inside Sales app and Outside Sales app, where Inside Sales has Leads Default On, but Outside Sales doesn’t. Not possible, right?

    Thanks,
    Kaira
