“As a Salesforce Platinum Partner and MuleSoft Partner who provides mission-critical consulting services, from strategy to implementation, Ad Victoriam is delighted to be recognized by Inc. for our growth,” said founder, Jeff Jones. “We’re honored to see our results validated by Inc. magazine’s annual award.”

This is the second recognition of Ad Victoriam’s business acumen in the span of three months, as we were recently named a Top Business Services Company by Clutch.

How AdVic Made the Inc. 5000

Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows compelling growth when compared with prior lists. The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved a three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 jobs over the past three years.

“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,” says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. “There’s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”

The Inc. 5000 Methodology

The 2019 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2015 and 2018. To qualify, companies such as Ad Victoriam must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2015. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2018. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2015 is $100,000; the minimum for 2018 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue.

Some features in Summer ’19 affect all users immediately. Other features require direct action by an administrator before users can benefit from the new functionality.

Ad Victoriam’s consulting team took a deep-dive through Salesforce’s extensive Summer ‘19 Release Notes document – all 545 pages of it – to highlight for admins nine of the most interesting updates you can initiate now.

The following changes all apply to Lightning Experience in Group, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.

Reference Custom Metadata Type Records in Process Builder

AdVic Overview: Allows for best practices to be used by less hard coding and easier deployments than Custom Settings.

Salesforce Details: Reference custom metadata type records from a Process Builder formula to automate your business processes reusing functionality that you define. To change a value, you can update it in the custom metadata type instead of in your process and any hard-coded formulas that your process uses.

Keep Users in the Know with Notification Builder

AdVic Overview: Allows admins another way to notify users.

Salesforce Details: Send customized notifications when important events occur. For example, alert an account owner if a new support case is logged while trying to close a deal. Or, send a notification for a unique workflow built entirely with custom objects. Previously, you could send only standard notifications for use cases predefined by Salesforce. Notification Builder puts you in control of who needs to know what and when.

Set Up Mass Quick Actions in Communities

AdVic Overview: Allows community users to act on multiple records at once.

Salesforce Details: Mass quick actions are now available in Lightning communities the same as they are in Lightning Experience. Your customers can select up to 100 records in a list view and perform mass updates rather than updating records one at a time.

Take Control of the Hover State in the Tile Menu (Beta)

AdVic Overview: Good for those not using custom components.

Salesforce Details: The hover icon has been replaced in the Tile Menu component with a new display setting. You can show or hide the standard Salesforce hover icon for a menu item.

Power Up Your Related Lists with Enhanced Related Lists (Beta)

AdVic Overview: Take your related lists to the next level.

Salesforce Details: Show up to 10 columns with Enhanced Related Lists. Resize and sort your columns, perform mass actions, and wrap text.

Merge Cases into a Single Record (Beta)

AdVic Overview: Out of the box support for duplicate cases, a common issue.

Salesforce Details: If you have duplicate cases or cases that you want to merge into a single case, you can now merge two or three cases into one master record. When you merge cases, the master record is updated with your chosen field values. Most related lists, feed items, and child records are merged into the master record. The master record keeps the Chatter feeds, your values for read-only and hidden fields (except Created Date and Created By), related items, and security.

Sort Dashboard Components by Groups and Measures

AdVic Overview: Improved sorting capability.

Salesforce Details: Overhauled sorting in dashboard components and improved how components sort data. Instead of choosing to sort by label or value, you can sort by a named group or measure. Plus, dashboard components now support two-level sorting. Now you can sort a component by stage and then by the sum of the amount, or by average age and then record count.

Resize Columns in Lightning Tables

AdVic Overview: Ability to make all Dashboard tables readable.

Salesforce Details: For those times when a Lightning table column feels a bit cramped, go ahead and open it up by resizing it. You can resize columns but not rows. Resizing lasts only for the current session. So the next time you open the dashboard, the columns use their default widths.

Evaluate Each Record in Reports with Row-Level Formulas (Beta)

AdVic Overview: Allows for improved reporting and in some cases reduces the need for custom fields to do this.

Salesforce Details: Answering business questions sometimes means making a calculation on every row in a report. With row-level formulas, you don’t need to export report data to a spreadsheet or ask an admin to create a one-off custom formula field. Instead, write a row-level formula directly in the Lightning report builder.
