It’s just my take/favorites, not covers entire release
features –consider as quick bite in Consultants stand point.
- Browser – Lightning Experience is supported most recent stable version of Chrome and Firefox, and it requires Internet Explorer 11 as not supported in 10 and lesser versions.
- Lightning Experience – available (within 24 hours of) in Winter 16 release, Lightning Experience doesn’t include every feature available in Salesforce Classic – consider and plan out the roll out strategy if you are moving to Lightning Experience
- This release is prominently focused on Lightning Experience and most part of release notes discuss about what is available and not available in Lightning Experience.
- Exception Handling – we can set email address to alert in case of any unhandled exceptions, previously it used to send to creator of the class by default.
- Enhanced Notes – It comes with auto save feature and ability to tag to multiple (parent) records, it comes in Lightning Experience but will not be available if Chatter is turned off.
- What is Not available in Lightning Experience wrt List views
- List View – Inline editing
- List View – Sharing with Group
- List View – Following a record
- List View – Cloning list view
- List View with Chart is available, it helps a lot in data visualization
- Sales Path – provides clear separation of functions to focus on fields that matter at that time.
- Opportunity Board – Visual summary of all opportunity, drag and drop to update stage, create task right from the board.
- My Task List – Finally we got this addressed through standard feature with awesome lightning experience
- Salesforce App for Outlook – Get Salesforce content related to emails and events in outlook might help a lot.
- Redesigned Reports & Dashboard home page
- The ultimate, Rich Dashboard Editor – feature of resize, drag and drop feature etc are awesome
- Organization Sync – provides the feature to have second production environment, it can be used while primary application is on scheduled maintenance/upgrades. There are two difference options to control the Metadata sync and user data sync. Also there is a feature to temporarily pause the sync process.
- Email to Case feature available only in Salesforce Classic edition only, so this means if we enable Lightning where email to case already deployed – what is the problem will be faced?
- SOS Video chat and screen sharing – impressive!!
- Search Improvement for communities – will get to see similar topics while typing itself.
- More rollup summary fields – increased to 25 from 10.
- Picklist replacement process – now admin will get notification when picklist replacement is completed in the backend
- Global Picklist – one picklist field can be used across multiple objects. So values in picklist can be easily controlled. But it is now on pilot and available only in developer edition.
- All New Data Import Wizard – one place to import & update standard and custom object records.
- Records with inactive owners can be updated without any problems.
- Lightning Connect – Now external objects are writable which allows bi-directional integration.
- Enabling separate load for External object related list, meaning if Account has external object as related list loading of Account records won’t be get impacted by external object (related list).
- Process Builder – supports time based actions with multiple schedules to perform group of actions.
- New login screen look and feel which goes with Lightning Experience
- Now we can create multiple user account in one go and Login History now included the location of the user login as well.
- Platform Native Encryption – allows to encrypt selected objects and fields.
- Lightning Component is generally available in all Salesforce.com supported platforms like SF1, Classic, Lightning and communities.
- Lightning Components are now available in AppExchange portal.
- Object Manager –one place to manage standard and custom objects.
- Some screen still referring to classic screen even when we are in Lightning. In the lightning Experience – Setup menu, some of the menu just give the feel of classic screen just got included in the Lightning outer layer. Meaning the core pages are in classic feel only. For example when I create flow, the screen when I click “new” button is in classic feel.
