Here in Iceland we have a special social security number in the format of example; 1802852069. The first 6 numbers are date born as in DD MM YY. I am creating a formula which automatically puts this in value into the birthday field using workflow and field update.
The code that I use is - kennitala = social secuirty number
I have been looking into the possibilties of adding multiple objects such as creating a button on a custom object related list in opportunities which is titled "Add multiple staff". From that button I would be transfer'd into a select search type of window (Similar to "Add product") where I can add by a checkbox hundreds of staff in a second.
Has anybody tried something like this? And/or can you link me to some solutions?
I am in a pickle. I am using the appexchange program Clicktools and I am sending e-mails to my contacts for them to verify infomation and/or change them.
The thing is some of the characters in my naitive language (Icelandic) are not available through URLs. Special characters such as Æ, Þ, á and Ó seem to dissapear and the value that comes up when the contact press's his link will be correct but all those special characters come up as gibberish box symbols. I was wondering if there are any url encodeing options through those email templates. I know they aren't used every day to send out links with syntex's in them but in ClickTools they have this !urlencode{syntexs} option which allows these special characters to appear valid and I am wondering if salesforce offers a similer thing.
If not, how do you recommend I take care of this problem.
