Editor's Notes

  1. After Dreamforce I was told we needed our own Safe Harbor Statement
  2. Best Practice Tip-1: Use the Insert Field, Insert Function, Insert Operator, Check Syntax buttons and the "Quick Tips" link. Trust me, they will not bite you. There's a rumor that an Admin did get attacked by the "Insert Selected Function" button once. But in fairness he was trying to use an ISPICKVAL function during Mating Season. And just use the Advanced Formula tab, honestly I dunno what the Simple Formula tab is there for. Maybe it's supposed to prevent some first-time Admin from falling off a Formula and hurting themselves like a set of training wheels or something… Co-Worker-1: Did you hear what happened to Dave? Co-Worker-2: No, what? Co-Worker-1: He tried to use a TODAY() function on a DateTime field and hit his head. Co-Worker-2: Holy crap! Is he okay? Co-Worker-1: Yeah, he's lucky it wasn't a Nested IF Statement or he mighta broken his friggin neck!
