[#Blogged]Granular Locking in Salesforce

Granular Locking in Salesforce

The system employs additional logic to allow multiple updates to proceed simultaneously if there is no hierarchical or other relationship between the roles or groups involved.

For example: if you trying to edit the user details but on the other hand automated process is already doing that then you are not allowed to edit.

for this we use granular locking, this will not lock the entire table but only specific data.

What are the key advantages of granular locking?

1) Groups that are in separate hierarchies can be manipulated concurrently

2) Public groups and roles that do not include territories can be manipulated concurrently

3) Users can be added concurrently to territories and public groups

4) User provisioning can occur in parallel

5) A single-long running process, such as a role delete, only blocks a small subset of operations

Benefits to customers:

Customers who frequently experience locking that restricts their ability to manage manual and automated group maintenance operations.
Enable granular locking, which attempts to lock only the modified portions of the table. This can improve the performance of the following items:
1) Adding/deleting/transferring user from a territory
2) Re-parent a territory
3) Create or delete a territory within a hierarchy
4) Adding or removing a forecast manager

Switch More Users to Lightning Experience

 To help, the Switch Users to Lightning Experience tool now displays all users in your org, so you can switch the exact group that you want in one go. The tool also makes it easier to find specific users in the list and to see which users in your org are eligible to switch. This change applies to both Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic.

Make Lightning Experience - the Only Experience 

Ready to move from Salesforce Classic to Lightning Experience without looking back? Just hide the option to switch to Salesforce Classic from your Lightning Experience users so that they stay in Lightning Experience. This feature is new in both Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic.

Now you can create a permission set and assign it to different profile.

When you enable the permission for your Lightning Experience users, new and existing users see Lightning Experience the next time they log in to Salesforce. And, they no longer see the Switch to Salesforce Classic link.

Ditch Your Mouse

You can now use keyboard shortcuts to maximize your efficiency and speed while working in Lightning Experience. 

Navigate to a Record Directly from an Action Success Message

The message now includes the record name as an active link that takes you right to that record
