āœ… You've Inherited a Salesforce Org. Now What?
"Frank", a Salesforce Admin, encountered challenges inheriting a pre-built org with gaps in documentation and customizations done using code. He wished for a platform to visualize connections between components and identify dependencies quickly.

āœ… What Is an Autolaunched Flow?
Flows are powerful tools for #AwesomeAdmins. Autolaunched flows are background flows that don't require user interaction. They can be triggered by schedules, record changes, platform events, or other flows. They don't support screens or local actions. An example is a flow started by a custom button or Apex class.

āœ… Implementing Apex Cursors for Optimal Resource Management in Salesforce
Apex Cursors in Salesforce enable processing of large query results in batches within a single transaction. They provide a way to work with large datasets without returning the entire set, allowing traversal of results forward and backward. This feature serves as an alternative to batch Apex, overcoming some of its limitations and enabling use in a series of queued Apex jobs.

āœ… Star Rating Component for Flow Screens
Screen flow is a type that allows input from users using standard components. For more customization, Lightning components can be added. For surveys or feedback forms, number or selection input components can be used. A custom Star Rating Component is available for users to select stars and store their rating.

āœ… Use Subflow EVERYWHERE
Building an Autolaunched Flow within a different Flow with Subflow is a step towards creating an Application Service Layer. Not all Subflows serve as Application Service Layers, similar to how a cake without strawberries is not a strawberry cake.
