Hands-On Low-Code Application Development with Salesforce

By: Enrico Murru

Overview of this book

Low-code platforms allow users to focus on business logic to create solutions without getting trapped in programming complexities. Thanks to its powerful features for designing, developing, and deploying apps without having to hand-code, Salesforce is at the forefront of the low-code development revolution. This book will guide you in building creative applications for solving your business problems using the declarative framework provided by Salesforce. You’ll start by learning how to design your business data model with custom objects, fields, formulas, and validation rules, all secured by the Salesforce security model. You’ll then explore tools such as Workflow, Process Builder, Lightning Flow, and Actions that will help you to automate your business processes with ease. This book also shows you how to use Lightning App Builder to build personalized UIs for your Salesforce applications, explains the value of creating community pages for your organization, and teaches you how to customize them with Experience Builder. Finally, you'll work with the sandbox model, deploy your solutions, and deliver an effective release management strategy. By the end of this Salesforce book, you’ll be ready to customize Salesforce CRM to meet your business requirements by creating unique solutions without writing a single line of code.

Further considerations for reporting

Depending on your organization type, reports can have quite different limitations. For example, regarding the number of custom report types, in the Developer Edition, you can build up to 400 custom items, while in an Unlimited Edition org, the limit jumps to 2,000.

There are also some structural limits, such as the following (as of the Summer '20 release):

  • The report builder displays up to 20 preview records for summary and matrix reports and up to 50 for tabular reports.

  • Reports display up to 2,000 records and we export a report using the Export button.

  • Reports execution timeouts after 10 minutes by default.

  • A joined report can have up to 5 blocks, with 100 columns each.

  • A report type can have up to 1,000 fields and up to 60 objects.

  • A report can include up to 5 bucket fields and each bucket can have up to 20 buckets, where each bucket can contain up to 20 values.
