Hi, we are graduate students working on a draft dashboard for a data visualization course. 

  • The data cover 156 countries’ Happiness Scores (0–10) and six explanatory factors from the World Happiness Report 2019. 
  • Our research questions are: which countries are happiest and least happy, which factors are most strongly associated with happiness, and how freedom differs between the top and bottom 10. 
  • We would appreciate specific feedback on the clarity and design of our current visualizations before finalizing the dashboard.

  1. Is it clear that the three scatter plots should be compared with each other (strong → moderate → weak), or does the layout need a stronger visual cue? 
  2. Do the chart types make the main findings easy to understand, or would you recommend a different visualization for any of them?
  3. Are the titles, captions, labels, and color choices clear without creating unnecessary visual clutter?
  4.  Does the sequence of the six charts create a logical story, or would you change their order before combining them into a dashboard?
  5. In the last worksheet, we compare the average Freedom to Make Life Choices score for the top 10 and bottom 10 happiest countries using a two-bar chart.      

    Is the two-bar comparison sufficient for communicating the difference, or would showing the individual country distribution with a dot plot or box plot provide more useful context without making the visualization too complex?  

Thank you for your time!

Background

Currently, Smart Lists allows configuring the modal height for an action that invokes a Screen Flow, but there does not appear to be an equivalent configuration for the modal width.

This limitation affects Salesforce Lightning Experience when a Screen Flow is launched from an Opportunity Quick Action and subsequently invokes a Smart Lists action. The modal used to create or edit records, such as DEA records, can appear too narrow, making the form difficult to use.

Attempts to override the modal width through custom CSS have not worked, likely because the modal is rendered within the Smart Lists component's styling scope.

Requested Enhancement

Add a configurable Width field to the Smart Lists Action configuration for actions that invoke a Screen Flow.

Proposed configuration

  • Field Label: Screen Flow Modal Width
  • Data Type: Number or configurable width value
  • Unit: Percentage or pixels
  • Default Value: Current behavior, to maintain backward compatibility
  • Applicable To: Actions that launch a Screen Flow in a modal

Expected behavior

The configured width should be applied to the modal container that displays the Screen Flow, independently of the modal height.

For example, administrators should be able to configure:

  • Width: 80%
  • Maximum width: 1200px

    Verify that the user profile running the flow has Read access to the Product Code field on the Product Option or Product 2 object, and check your custom configurator flow mapping to ensure the columns explicitly include the Product Code API name.

Hello everyone,

 

For some of our technicians, on some Work Order Line Items in the FSL mobile app, the map is not displayed on the Overview tab : Map not displayed on Overview tab - Android 16 - Field Service/262.3.23(262003023)

 

Have you encountered this issue before? Is it a known issue?

 

Thank you for your feedback.

 

Kind regards,

 

Aur Fr

    Verify that the mobile app has explicit location tracking permissions enabled in your Android system settings, and review your page layouts and Lightning page assignments for Work Order Line Items to ensure the map component isn't restricted by device-specific visibility filters.

Hi, 

 

AWS have released v3 of their Athena Driver, with notable fixes for Tableau to be able to interact with S3 Tables in v3.8. 

Amazon Athena JDBC 3.x release notes - Amazon Athena

 

 

It seems that Tableau Cloud currently only supports v2 of the Athena Driver. 

 

When will Tableau Cloud & Bridge support v3 of the Athena Driver? 

 

Thanks

    Check that your filter criteria operators and data types match correctly (such as comparing text fields with text values or ensuring numeric fields aren't evaluated as strings). Additionally, make sure you aren't referencing invalid fields or combining multiple incompatible operators that trigger evaluation conflicts in the filter canvas. Here is a video about the filtered data extensions that you are trying to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNH_PSHtksI

Hi everyone, I’m trying to publish the output of a Tableau Prep flow to Databricks, but I’m getting this error: 

“System error: An error occurred while communicating with Databricks. [Databricks][Hardy] (52) Error communicating with the service: 403” 

I’m able to access the Databricks workspace and create tables directly, and I can browse the catalog, schema, and tables from Prep. I’m also using the latest Tableau Prep and Databricks driver versions. Has anyone encountered this when publishing a Prep flow to Databricks? What else should I check?

    To fix the 403 error when publishing a Tableau Prep flow to Databricks, verify that your personal access token or authentication credentials have not expired and possess the necessary permissions to write to the target catalog and schema. Confirm your Databricks Personal Access Token is active and has explicit privileges on the destination tables, and ensure the SQL warehouse or cluster you are targeting allows external client connections.

Hi, the product whitespace reads data from all the accounts in the hierarchy. If the user has access only their account and not the sibling accounts. The product whitespace is throwing an error - Error fetching Whitespace data for Account Plan: Account Plan ID  

 

Is there a way to just let it read current account data.

    For this Account Plan whitespace error caused by missing sibling account access, adjust your sharing rules so that users have read access to parent and sibling accounts in the hierarchy, or modify the underlying query in your component to filter exclusively by the current record's AccountId rather than querying the entire account tree.

Hi! 

 

I was too hot-headed and installed PMM before realizing that I didn't need it (because our org uses NPC, which has many similar objects). I've been trying to uninstall it, but I keep failing because I don't have permission to remove the managed Lightning apps (based on the error it threw me on the Installed Packages page).

 

In short, I'm stuck. Can anyone point me to a path forward? 

1 answer
  1. Oct 13, 10:53 PM

    Try this: 

     

    Remove App Assignments: First, ensure that the custom PMM Lightning apps are unassigned from any user profiles or permission sets, as active assignments will block the uninstall process. 

     

    Delete Custom Components: Remove any PMM-specific components, custom tabs, or page layouts from your record pages and Lightning app builder pages. 

     

    Delete Custom List Views and Reports: Clear out any custom list views, dashboards, or reports referencing PMM objects. 

     

    Uninstall from Installed Packages: Once all dependent references, page elements, and app assignments are removed, navigate to Installed Packages, locate the Program Management Module, and click Uninstall. 

     

    Salesforce Ticket: If none of that works, open a help desk ticket with Salesforce Help.

Hi Everyone, 

 

I'm a Salesforce Administrator currently learning about SharePoint and Salesforce integration for document management, and I'd love to learn from your experience. 

 

I'm interested in understanding how organizations use SharePoint with Salesforce to manage documents, folders, security, and document access efficiently. I'm also curious about best practices for folder structures, metadata synchronization, version control, and providing a smooth user experience. 

 

As I'm still exploring this area, I would greatly appreciate any insights, recommendations, or lessons learned from real-world implementations. 

 

Looking forward to hearing your ideas and experiences. Thank you!

    Integrating SharePoint with Salesforce for document management is a great way to leverage SharePoint storage with what Salesforce can do. 

     

    Things to consider: 

     

    1. Use Salesforce Files Connect? 

    This is a Salesforce feature that lets users access, search, and attach files stored in SharePoint directly within the Salesforce UI without duplicating data storage.  

     

    2. AppExchange Solutions? 

    AppExchange has more automated ways to do this, such as automatically generating SharePoint folder structures linked directly to specific Accounts, Opportunities, or Cases. 

     

    3. Microsoft Graph API Integration? 

    For enterprises requiring custom folder logic, strict metadata synchronization, automated workflows, and complex security mapping. 

     

    4. Structure & Organization 

    Mirror Object Relationships: Design your SharePoint document libraries or folder trees to reflect your Salesforce data model. 

     

    5. Consistent Naming 

    Establish rigid naming conventions and utilize SharePoint metadata tags and nested folders to keep searching effective. 

     

    6. Single Source of Truth? 

    Determine whether SharePoint or Salesforce acts as your primary source of truth, and map user profiles, permission sets, and SharePoint sharing rules.
