Salesforce Scoop
What’s New with Salesforce?
How a Laid-Off Restaurant Manager Used Salesforce to Forge a Tech Career
In a wonderful article about the power of technology and change, Salesforce reviews the story of a man named Tony Nguyen, who in the moment of losing everything was able to find a career and a new set of skills that set him on a path of success.
This story is full of its ups and downs, and for the current workforce offers hope that there is something out there! Salesforce has long spoken about its want to be a place where people from any professional background can come and find success as an admin. The story of Tony is not only inspirational but also a great parallel for many of the stories we all know.
It is good to see that people are still finding a home in the Salesforce ecosystem, and although everyone’s story is not necessarily the same, we hope that spreading these successes will help others who find themselves in similar positions! It reminded me of the great Trailblazer stories about two of your CAS faves, Jarret and Lucas.

Salesforce: CAS Come and See Videos
Inline Edits Salesforce Winter 22: Come and See Video
We love to keep our clients and friends in the know on our YouTube channel! This month our featured video is all about the Winter 22 changes.
Inline Editing on Salesforce reports is now here for the Winter 22 release! Now you can edit text fields and numeric fields, and Salesforce is now going to open up date fields, picklist and lookup fields.
You can start going to existing reports or build out new reports and start editing those fields, all on the same page that you’re looking at. So it’s a mass update feature, and Natalie, Head of Operations & Client Delivery, is so excited about you being able to take advantage of this feature!

Advice from an Expert
Send your Qs to info@cloudadoption.solutions
Q: What is Partner Learning Camp? Should I be doing trails there instead of Trailhead? There’s so much to learn, and so many places to do it; help!
A: Ooh, yes, Partner Learning Camp. It’s a place where Salesforce SI and ISV partners can go to get deeper learning on specific Salesforce products. Here at CAS, we use it in tandem with Trailhead; we dedicate up to 20% of our time on continuing education and Partner Learning Camp has been instrumental in that!
If you’re a Salesforce partner, definitely get in there to learn more, more, more, and if you’re curious about the types of things you can learn there, ask your friendly neighborhood partner! For me, I really loved a few modules on “Customer Stories,” Health Cloud, and Engagement Studio!
If you have specific questions about Salesforce, let us know – we’re happy to lend a hand. Hit “reply” to this email and we’ll jump on a Zoom!
