April 2024


Data Enrichment Mapping for Automated (Ongoing) Hygiene

Admins can now create custom field mappings for continuous data enrichment during various stages: new Accounts created by Restaurantology, existing Accounts matched to new RestaurantologyLog records, and during monthly data downloads. Custom default values can be used to meet ongoing field validation requirements.

Multi-Unit Import & Data Management

View, dedupe, assess, and import important unit-level data—including complete address and phone number—into existing SFDC hierarchies.

Custom Visualforce Unit & Tech Calls

View historical unit count and technographic data without the need for localized historical multi-unit records.

Data Matching Helper Improvements

The newest version of the SFDC managed package offers significant improvements to how new SFDC Accounts are batch-created by Restaurantology via the App Center.

Scan and Match Data Improvements

New features include progress bards, unlimited number of records imported in a single job (previously 25), DML complete error report to detect and correct eventual problems.

App-based Import Permissions

Customize new import tool privileges by User Role or individual User(s).

Improved System Picklist Support

Set system preferences for Billing Address fields, with full optional picklist mapping for States/Provinces and Country. Define preferred record types for new Concept, Company, and Unit Account records created via Restaurantology.

“Test Import” Settings in Managed Package

Users can test standard and custom data enrichment mappings, along with general import settings, with single click to isolate and analyze record import or update errors.

GUI Improvements

Extensive support for pop-ups in modal applications, and for Salesforce Lightning Design System (SLDS) in Visualforce pages.

Bug Fixes
  • Better management of null objects
  • Visual corrections to tabs in the application setup
  • New background health process deployed to identify client-side processes potentially resulting in delayed RestaurantologyLog availability
