Salesforce customers, get psyched! The Summer '14 release contains a powerhouse of customer Ideas submitted to our IdeaExchange —the place where customers like you can go to share and vote for Ideas to improve the product.

In total, we touched 54 customer Ideas and nearly 200,000 Idea points (in some form or fashion). In fact, based on point value, three of the Ideas in this release fall in our Top 30 Ideas of All Time! Here's a rundown  of the ideas we incorporated into our summer '14 release:

Generally Available (GA) Ideas:

36 Customer Ideas and over 65,000 Idea points went GA this release, including our #17 Idea of All Time, Allow Reporting on Approval History, which garnered a whopping 26,260 points. To see a full list of fully delivered Ideas, click here.

Partially Delivered Ideas:

Sometimes an Idea touches multiple products and/or takes more than one release to fully deliver- for example, we might deliver a feature for mobile first, and then for web. When we deliver part of an Idea we give it a status of “Partially Implemented.” In the Summer ‘14 release, five Ideas and over 30,000 Idea points fall into this category.

Pilot/Beta Ideas:

On occassion even the best ideas aren't ready for a full rollout. This summer, we are piloting 13 Ideas worth over 98,000 Idea points. Our #2 Idea of All Time, Dupe Alerts (63,690 points) and our #30 Idea of All Time, Ability to create custom lookup fields on the activity object (17,020 points) are Pilot/Beta in this release.
