Salesforce Winter 18 - my top 10 feature list
New Look and Feel
This was much required, I am a big fan of lightning UI but with more and more features and information it was little difficult find what you want. I have heard customers complaining about everything is so plain, now with more contrast, less whitespace and bright colours it will be far more better.
Automatically Open Related Records in Console Apps with Navigation Rules
This is something good to have, the main idea of a console is to able to see everything at some screen. With this feature you can open Case, related account and contact at one click.
Enterprise Territory Management in Lightning
We have to switch between lightning and class for this finally it is available in lightning experience. Now you will be able to configure and manage territories and lightning experience.
Prompt Users to Add Products to Opportunities
This was something a customer asked recently. why I have to train people to add products after opportunity creation can't there be an alert or screen to add products just after opportunity creation ? At least this feature will prompt users to add products.
New and Changed Lightning Components.
I see some cool new tags added which will be a good add on to development in lightning component, no need to spend time of styling things when they are already available.
Automatically Style Existing Visualforce Pages with Lightning Experience Stylesheets
This is big one. Convert VF in LEX UI who does not want that, I guess have to wait to try it how far it can do the conversion.
Visual Studio extension for development
This is something looks cool, I don't use Visual studio for development but I am tempted to try it out.
Share Calendars with Coworkers in Lightning Experience
A good to have feature just like google calendar, you can see who is available at what time.
Help Reps Stay on Task with Task Notifications
More intuitive way of managing your notifications.
Lightning Data Service
LDS includes lot of different features for developers, like no SOQL dml etc. More and more support to lightning component development.

7 年Thanks for these insights! I like the task notification feature update a lot. Up until now I still used my calendar for an extra overview of tasks, want to see if I can that change now.
