Favorite Salesforce "Black Tab" Features
October 12th, 2009
Salesforce has a number of features that they can enable or enhance via their “black tab” on an org by org basis. For instance, they can increase the amount of Apex code storage over the 2MB limit.
I’m compiling a list of black tab features so if you know of any, please post them below!
Categories: Salesforce
The few I know:
Translation Workbench.
The ability to ‘DOT’ an Org i.e. copy data + metadata.
Bulk Apex(might wanna double check this one).
Enable the ‘Ideas Template’.
Allow access to the Data Loader (not standard with PE).
Disable Auto Number increasing in test classes (Stupid feature more like a bug)
Enable API for PE Orgs (for data migration purposes)
Default oppty product quantity to ’1′.
Allow edits on the Last Modified and Created By fields.
Increase the standard daily email limit
Disable security tokens.
Increase the number of rollup summary fields on objects
Not sure if this is Black Tab but…I could not figure out for months why my attempts to use HTML and VisualForce email templates failed. The only thing that worked was plain text. When I sent things in HTML or VF the email would arrive completely blank except for the Subject. After several tries with the help desk and bouncing around in Tier 1,2 and even 3 at one point someone finally told me that HTML and VF email were not enabled for my ORG and could only be enabled by salesforce! So, if anyone is having a similar problem I would try the blacktab route first.
Web-to-Lead daily submissions can be significantly increased from 500.
External ID/Unique fields for use with Upsert can be increased.
Salesforce.com use Blacktab to monitor users’ use of the app. They track who has logged on, when, for how long and from what device. they also track the activity of users once logged on and use this for Sales and Marketing purposes
