Spring 21 is bringing a couple of Apex features that can be definitely helpful. This post will cover a few of my favorite Apex features from Spring 21.You can find all my Spring 21 release posts here.Feature #1With Spring 21, we can fetch the entire custom metadata records or a single record from the custom metadata. So no more SOQL query to fetch custom metadata records. Here is the video where I have explained the feature. With getAll() method, now we can get the entire custom metadata records. Here is the small code snippetpublic static void fetchAllMetadata() {    Map<String, Country__mdt> allCountries = Country__mdt.getAll();    System.Debug(‘allCountries Size: ‘ + allCountries.size());    for(String countrName : allCountries.keySet()){        System.Debug(‘Country Name: ‘ + countryName + ‘ Capital: ‘             + allCountries.get(countrName).Capital__c);    }}With getInstance( recordId ),  getInstance( qualifiedApiName ), getInstance( developerName ) method, now we can get the single custom metadata record. Here is the small code snippetpublic static void fetchCapital(String countryName) {    Country__mdt singleCountry = Country__mdt.getInstance(countryName);    System.Debug(‘Country Name: ‘ + countryName + ‘ Capital: ‘         + singleCountry?.Capital__c);}Feature #2With Spring 21, we can now convert 18-character Id to 15-character Id.

But with Spring 21 release you can implement the same in flow. This post will show you how you can take advantage of this new cool feature. I also created a video explaining the steps.You can check my other posts which talk about some of the flow enhancements that are coming along with Spring 21 release.How to compare between Prior and New Value in Record Triggered FlowsBlog:  http://bit.ly/3r78BToVideo:  https://youtu.be/auTFTb2exhwHow to create multi-column screens in Flow BuilderBlog: http://bit.ly/38ta5i6Video: https://youtu.be/CiKf5bVdGqwUse Case:Here is the use case which I will be implementing -Step 1Create a Record-Trigerred Flow and choose Freeform/Auto-Layout in the next screen. Step 2Configure the Trigger Screen as -Trigger the Flow When: A record is created or updatedRun the Flow: After the record is saved [Note – Schedule action/path is only available after the record is saved.]Step 3Configure the object as “Opportunity” with the criteria to make sure flow is running only when the opportunity is open.Important – Select “Only when a record is updated to meet the condition requirements” under the “When to run the Flow for updated records”...

How to Create Multi-Column Screens in Flow Builder | Spring 21 New Feature

by | Dec 17, 2020 | , , , , | 0

Salesforce is bringing a new feature in Spring 21, which we all are waiting for a long time. It’s about creating Multi-Column Screens in Flow Builder.Before Spring 21, we had no/limited control to add multi-columns in flow screens. So to get that feature either we need to write web components or make some other changes(which involves coding). But the good news is that right after Spring 21, we can add multiple columns in the flow screens and no more custom coding is required (unless it is definitely something that can not be done in flow).In this blog post, I will show you how you can take advantage of this new feature. I also put a short video here where I have used this new feature.Step 1Create a Screen Flow and choose Freeform / Auto-Layout in the next screenStep 2Add the Screen Element in the canvas and add the Section (Beta) in the screen element. It will look like – Step 3Once you add Section (Beta) to the screen, on the right side, you will find a button to add columns. You can click and start adding columns. You can add upto four columns and also choose the width of each column.Width wise the entire width is divided in the unit of 12. Step 4You can add components in individual sections. Like I have below components as below -Column 1 – Text...

Within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), a robust solution to managing security is provided by Google Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM). This service allows administrators to authorize who can take action on specific resources, providing full control and visibility to manage cloud resources centrally.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP), renowned for its scalability, security, and versatility, provides a vast range of cloud-based services. To manage these services effectively, GCP incorporates a resource hierarchy model that helps users manage, organize, and control resources. Understanding the structure and flow of this hierarchy is crucial for optimizing resource management and security in GCP. At the most basic level, the Google Cloud resource hierarchy is divided into four primary components: the Organization, Folders, Projects, and Resources. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 0:01 - Introduction 0:50 - Understand Resource Hierarchy with Example 3:18 - High Level Understanding of applying IAM roles 4:36 - Demo 7:29 - Conclusion #GCP #Google_Cloud_Resource_Hierarchy #Google_Cloud_Certification 📌 Blog - https://sudipta-deb.in/2023/06/resource-hierarchy-in-google-cloud.html 📌 Youtube Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeX6D9nzyNefXN2R3FK6BmiKX-KfkJPmI ✨ Subscribe for new videos on technology every week: https://bit.ly/3vCQKpg ✨Connect with me 📌 Twitter: https://twitter.com/thesudiptadeb 📌 Website: https://www.sudipta-deb.in/ 📌 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sudiptadeb/ 📌 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TechnicalPotpourri Credit: Music I Use under the Mixkit License Disclaimer: All opinions are my own and this video content is not endorsed by Salesforce, Google or any other company in any way.
