Feature Details

  • Workflow Rules (Enterprise and Unlimited Editions Only): You can package workflow rules in AppExchange applications with the Summer ’07 release. With workflow, AppExchange applications can include more complex business process to meet the needs of more companies. In addition to workflow rules, you can also package field updates, outbound messages, alerts, and tasks.
  • Home Page Layout and Components: You can package custom home page layouts and components to share with others in your organization or the larger salesforce.com community through the AppExchange.
  • Language Translations (Professional, Enterprise, and Unlimited Editions Only): Create a package of translated names, labels, and messages within the translation workbench to easily deliver multilingual applications on the AppExchange.
  • Custom Report Types (Professional, Enterprise, and Unlimited Editions Only): You can package custom report types to help other Salesforce users achieve the insight you’ve gained. Create your own standardized reports and share them with others on the AppExchange. Users can use the reports or clone and further customize them for their unique needs.
  • Export on Uninstall: With Summer ’07, you can automatically export data as you uninstall a package. The data export is performed automatically and is available for download as a zip file in a data archive, and the user is notified via email. This eliminates the need to perform a manual backup prior to uninstalling a package.

Note: This feature is enabled by default, with one exception: The ability to package language translations requires use of the translation workbench. Contact your salesforce.com representative to activate this feature.
