Formerly manual, now automatic: add custom fields to Custom Report Types

Manually adding new custom fields to Custom Report Types is time consuming. Keeping the reports up to date is even more time consuming. This is possible with the Winter '21 Release over! Then you can new custom fields automatically to all custom report typesbased on this object, add. You can find more information here.

Manage deleted fields now also in Lightning Experience!

What was previously only possible in Salesforce Classic is now also possible in Lightning Experience. Deleted fields and the associated data can now also managed in Lightning Experience be deleted.

Trigger flows - without Process Builder!

The Extension of the dataset-related flow makes it much faster and easier to set up flows that are to run only when certain record changes are made. This makes using flows - without having to trigger them through the Process Builder - much more practical. Learn here more about the feature.

This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.

Flows for deleted records - without Apex code!

With the Flow Builder, the new release allows you to configure a flow to be triggered before a record is deleted. For this you need no more apex code. The automatically triggered flow runs in the background and updates related records when a record is deleted. You can find more information about this here.

This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
