    5. Partners are still encouraged to transition their end users to avoid any issues in the future.

Create My Domain

  1. Lighting Domains allow you to personalize the login experience. For example, instead of going to salesforce.com to login, users can login using a url they create. When setting up, allow users to also be allowed to login using salesforce.com so as not to cause confusion. We haven’t created any components that would be impacted by you rolling this out. It’s a much more seamless process than it seems.

Salesforce Update Requirements


Notes and Attachments to Salesforce Files

  1. Salesforce has enhanced notes and attachments for LEX and created Salesforce Files. Additional capabilities include the ability to relate files to multiple records, track multiple versions, and view file previews, as well as the ability to relate a note to multiple records, and track multiple versions. To convert Notes and Attachments follow these steps in order.
  2. Ensure all Files are uploaded as Salesforce Files( not Attachments). Salesforce Files are the way of the future. To begin using Salesforce files today follow these steps:
    1. Go to Setup
    2. Go to Salesforce Files (quick find: type “Salesforce Files”)
    3. Click General setting
    4. Click Edit
    5. Check “Files uploaded to the Attachments related list on records are uploaded as Salesforce Files, not as attachments”
    6. Click Save
  3. If you’re wondering about existing files in the Notes and Attachments list, don’t worry; they will remain intact. You can’t move them, but if they’re Salesforce Files (not attachments) you can add them to the Files related list on the same record. You don’t need to convert all of your old files right away. If you want more time, follow these steps to ensure you can access old Notes and Attachments and Salesforce files at the same time.
    1. Go to Setup
    2. Go to Object Manager
    3. Go to Document
    4. Go to Page Layout
    5. Go to related list
    6. Add Files to the Related list Tab
    7. Click Save

      3. Enter login credentials for sandbox [and later production]
      4. Click done once installed
    3. We recommend turning off feed tracking for notes, so Chatter isn’t flooded with data during notes migration.
      1. From Setup, enter Feed Tracking in the Quick Find box,
      2. Then select Feed Tracking.
      3. Select the object you want to turn off feed tracking for and deselect All Related Objects.
      4. Or use the checkbox to deselect all feeds for now.
      5. Remember to turn back on relevant fields at the end of this process.
    4. Conversion of attachments and notes is supported for custom objects and the following standard objects: Account, Asset, Campaign, Case, Contact, Contract, Lead, Opportunity, Product, Quote, and Solution.
    5. General Considerations:
      1. Assign the Attachments and Notes Migrator Permission Set to Admins
        1. From Setup, enter Permission Sets in the Quick Find box, then select Permission Sets.
        2. Create a new permission set.
        3. Select System Permissions.

          2. Click Manage Assignments.
            1. Assign the permission set to anyone who will be using this tool to migrate attachments or notes.
              1. This typically includes admins.
      2. Prioritize Conversion
        1. Prioritize attachment conversion for the objects your business uses most
        2. Target Which Items to Convert
        3. There are several ways to narrow down the number of items to convert.
          1. Filter the number of items using the date filter and object type filter.
          2. Select an object for which you want to convert its attachments.
          3. Combine these methods for an even more targeted set of items.
        4. Orgs have a limit of documents and versions that can be modified in a 24-hour period. For most orgs, this is 200,000.
        5. We recommend running a small pilot test of a few attachments before doing your first large bulk conversion job.
      3. Delete Converted Attachments
        1. Once attachments—public or private—have been converted to files, the old attachment can be deleted.
        2. Doing so frees up file storage space in your org.
      4. Attachments Tab
        1. The Attachments tab can be used to quickly view attachments that have been migrated, and those that have not been migrated. This information can be useful when verifying the results of a conversion job
      5. From a change management perspective, send an email to affected users informing them that you will be converting notes and attachments, and educate them that going forward they will be using the Files related list and Notes related list.
      6. Once everything is to your satisfaction, you have the option to  delete the legacy attachments and notes or keep in perpetuity.
      7. Upon completion of the conversion, let affected users know that the conversion is complete.
    6. Admins use the Attachments to Files tool to do bulk conversion of all the non-private attachments in an org.
      1. To Access the tool in the app launcher type ’’Attachments to Files’ Link?
        1. Follow the steps provided and general considerations.’
        2. Test a small group of attachments
        3. Then do a large bulk of attachments  based on identified priorities
        4. Schedule until complete
    7. Admins use the Notes Conversion tool to do bulk conversion of all the public notes in an org
      1. To Access the tool in the app launcher type  ‘Notes Conversion tool’ and ollow the steps provided as well as the general considerations.
        1. Test a small group of attachments
        2. Then do a large bulk of attachments based on identified priorities
        3. Schedule until complete
    8. Users who have Private Files
      1. To access the tool in the app launcher type ‘My Private Attachments’
        1. They should be informed to test a small batch
        2. And then convert the remainder of their private notes and attachments
          1. Unless these are converted to “Public” they will no longer be related to any objects within the instance.
    9. Admins use the ‘Update Page Layouts’ tool to update layouts to use the new ‘files’ related lists exclusively, only once all documents have been converted.
      1. Pre-requirements:
        1. Create a remote site
          1. If you plan to use the Update Page Layout Tool
          2. For Enterprise Edition and above, create the remote site automatically from the Update Page Layout Tool in the app launcher

          2. Remove Notes and Attachments from all objects
          3. Decide which objects you would like to have enhanced Notes on the related list and add accordingly.
          4. Delete all old notes and attachments
            1. Test small
            2. Then do large batches quickly
  5. New Partner Implementation

Spring 2020 Mandatory Security Update Guide

  1. Salesforce is rolling out mandatory security enhancements in every org. To prepare for the enhancements, they created step by step instructions for each change. CoPilot Administrators should see a pop-up banner while in setup. They can select the Review Security Alert button to find a complete list of all security updates that Salesforce mandates. This will also list a due date, by which the tasks associated with this project are to be completed. View details to better understand what each recommendation is about. Select “Get Started” to follow the step by step instructions included to accommodate best practices and recommendations in each security alert. CoPilot Offers these helpful hints for each security feature release:
  2. Block Certain Fields in the User Record for Orgs with Communities and Portals
    1. This update allows you to hide certain user fields from external users.
    2. CoPilot is not impacted by this activation. If you use Communities and Portals follow Salesforce internal steps.
  3. Remove View All Users Permission from Guest User Profiles
    1. This update removes the View All Users permission from all guest user profiles
    2. If you allow guests to access your organization through Communities follow this helpful guide from Salesforce help: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=rss_config_guest_user_profile.htm
    3. If your use case requires a guest user on a Force.com or legacy portal site to view community members who are internal Salesforce org users, then create a sharing rule of type, Guest User on the User object.
  4. Block Certain Fields in the User Record for Orgs with Communities and Portals
    1. CoPilot Managed Package has enabled ‘Secure guest user record access’ in order to set guest user org-wide defaults to Private on all objects available to the guest user profile. CoPilot users should follow the steps provided in Salesforce to do the same.
    2. If Guest Users need Read Only access to object data, create a guest user sharing rule for the object.
    3. Download and install the Guest User Access Report managed package from the AppExchange to see, at a glance, if guest users are part of groups or queues. https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FR6GaUAL
    4. After this security update is enforced, you cannot use manual sharing to grant guest users access to data. Check on manual sharing in your org. and be sure your logic is covered in another way if applicable. Identify records shared with guest users through manual sharing. Replace the manual sharing logic with a sharing rule on the object that needs to be shared.
  5. Restrict Access to @AuraEnabled Apex Methods for Guest and Portal Users Based on User Profile
    1. The only APEX classes potentially impacted by this updated are:
      1. ProgramAttendanceFilterWrapper
      2. ProgramAttendanceController
      3. UtilityMethods
    2. Activation will not impact usage unless your organization provides access to external guest users. CoPilot suggests system admins who provide access to Guest and Portal Users, to activate critical updates in a sandbox or during downtimes to test implications. If this does interfere, you may need to create new permission sets to allow user access. Contact your Partner Experience Manager for help along the way at copilotsupport@collegeforward.org.
  6. Restrict Access to @AuraEnabled Apex Methods for Authenticated Users Based on User Profile
    1. The only APEX classes potentially impacted by this updated are:
      1. ProgramAttendanceFilterWrapper
      2. ProgramAttendanceController
      3. UtilityMethods
    2. Integrations, such as with FormAssembly, may require additional permission sets. CoPilot advises system admins who integrate with the Attendance object (formerly Program Class Attendance) to activate critical updates in a sandbox or during downtimes to test implications
  7. Secure Object Permissions for Guest Users
    1. CoPilot Does not currently use this feature, except on the rare occasion
      1. Update Guest Profiles to Follow Salesforce Security Policy on Object Permissions
      2. Test Public Communities
      3. Apply the New Object Permission Access Policy for Guest Users
        1. Going forward, apply the new guest user permissions to all guest user profiles in your org.
  8. Community Nicknames Enabled by Default and New Nickname Generation Algorithm
    1. Read general info about updates from Salesforce
  9. Review Permission and Access Changes in the Spring ’20 Release
    1. Confirm you have been thoughtful about the previous steps
    2. You don’t need to activate anything, it will automatically update for you.

Installation Directions

CoPilot recommends that each partner test new functionality within a sandbox environment before launching in production. Prioritize testing in a Sandbox if you integrate third-party technology into your current Salesforce instance.

What is a Sandbox?

Sandboxes are isolated testing organizations separate from your production org. Operations you perform in your sandboxes do not affect your production org.

There are many types of Sandbox environments, some of which may require additional license purchases. Here is an overview of Sandboxes. Contact your Salesforce Account Executive to purchase additional partial or full copy Sandboxes, if needed. CoPilot recommends at least 1 newly refreshed partial copy Sandbox for each organization. Contact your PEMs if you require additional information at copilotsupport@collegeforward.org.

Installing in Sandbox

Custom Filters

  1. Go to Setup
  2. Search for Custom Metadata Types
  3. Against the Attendance Filters CMT, click on the “Manage Records” link.
  4. To view or update an existing filter, click into its record
  5. To create a new filter, click on the “New” button and populate the details for the filter
    1. Label -> The label as it appears in the attendance tool
    2. Field API Name -> The exact API name of the field on the Contact object
    3. Type -> Use Picklist/Radio only with picklist fields, otherwise Text. Text filters uses wildcard search, i.e. “ave” matches “beaver”, “avert”, “crave”
    4. Picklists include all record types.
  6. Multi-Select picklists do not work with custom filters (the former-contains operator)
    1. Instead, apply filters andadd students one picklist value at a time.
    2. Reset the filter and begin the search all over again with new filters selected
  7. Role Hierarchies, sharing rules and permission sets are maintained
    1. You will not be able to access student’s you don’t otherwise have access to.
  8. Create a custom filter based on Contact record type
    1. Record Type isn’t a picklist field so cannot be used natively. As a workaround:
      1. Create a custom picklist field containing options that mirror the Record Type options, i.e. “Student”, “Parent” etc.
      2. Create the Custom Metadata Type filter based on this picklist field
      3. For existing contact records, back-fill this picklist value, i.e. populate “Student” on student records, “Parent” on parent records etc. using a data import update
      4. For new contact records, create a Process Builder or Workflow rule on the Contact object that looks at the Record Type of the contact record, and updates this picklist value accordingly.
