Our fellow group members showed very good response for this event from the time this event was scheduled. This time 50+ salesforce administrators and developers from different companies gathered and three developers from Trichy who traveled more than 300 kms to attended this meetup. Everyone so excited about this event and that shows the energy.

Initially I presented about the Visualforce remote object, which is one of the generally available features in Winter’15 release, we had trivia in the mid of my topic which helps to make the session more interactive and many attendees bagged awesome salesforce t-shirts and books.Here is my presentation deck and refer this link for the code samples.

Then Shivanath presented about Dreamforce, What is dreamforce event? and how its helpful for the developers. The session is really helpful for the attendees those who haven’t attended the Dreamforce before. We also had quiz about the dreamforce event and distributed goodies to the winners.
Then we had a general QA session lots of interesting questions about salesforce platform from the attendees.

Thank you all attendees for joining and thanks for your continuous support to this group and also very big thanks to Matt Brown and April Kyle Nassi for their great support.

Avoid Duplicate Records Using Flow

In this blog post lets see how to avoid duplicate records in Salesforce using the powerful feature – Flow , As the word says, flow easily flows to fulfill the requirements with ease. ☺ Many think of appexchange solutions and source code to avoid the duplicate record in salesforce, But the method I'm going to explain here is completely different and very simple.

I was started exploring more about the List view API and trying to build an use case using that. So I searched about List View in the IdeaExchange site then found that many users are looking for a solution to export records to excel directly from the list view. I built a solution for that Idea, which helps user to download all the records directly from the List view for both standard and custom object. You don’t have to make any change in the code to use this functionality for different objects. All you need is to create a custom button for that object as mentioned below. Lets take an example for Account object 1. Go to Setup –> Accounts –> Buttons, Links and Actions 2. Click ‘New Button or Link' 3. Enter Label, Name and select display type as ‘List Button’ 4. Content source as “Onclick Javascript” and paste the
