Scheduling Dashboards and emailing them around

Tom Tobin has a nice piece on his blog about how we’ll be able to schedule and email refreshed dashboards. I would suggest subscribing to Tom’s feed. He’s the PM for reporting and analytics, an area of the app that’s undergoing amazing changes. He also dives pretty deep on the technical aspects of the changes and the thinking behind them.

I’m very thankful for his articles, they give me a real sense of where the reporting engine is going and where it’s not going. Thanks Tom!

Jon Stahl wrote a nice piece on Leadership Ladders and how we’re doing them in Salesforce.

Worried about scalability?

From the SFDC Curmudgeon:

We just did a partial but still significant data load for a client. About a million accounts, two million contacts, and about eight million custom objects (spread across three types). About 36 hours into sandbox.

11 million records in this Salesforce instance. Wow, that’s a lot. Salesforce announced last year that their largest customer had 60 Million records. I sure am glad I don’t have to worry about scaling to that level.
