The MultiDatePick Blog
Practical notes on scheduling in Salesforce: calendars, time slots, recurrence, conflicts, and the platform limits nobody warns you about.
Five Calendar Views, One Salesforce Component
A month grid is the wrong shape for half the scheduling questions people actually ask. Who is free Thursday afternoon, is Room 4 booked solid next week, which technician is over capacity. Timeline, week, utilization and agenda alongside the month grid, all reading the same records through the same field mappings, and chosen per placement with one config field rather than a second install.
Why Salesforce Has No Multi-Date Calendar
A date field holds one date, and every workaround for capturing many at once leaks somewhere: ten columns you have to guess at, ranges that cannot skip a day, or a flow loop that asks one screen at a time. What it costs when the form stops matching reality, and what changes when selection becomes the unit of work.
Configuring a Salesforce Calendar Without Writing Code
Sixty-plus properties sounds like a project. It is a wizard, three questions about the shape of your records, and a live preview that renders the real component before you save. Plus what it writes: a deployable, reusable Config__mdt record.
Salesforce VPAT: What Admins Need to Know
What a VPAT is, why it appears during procurement rather than evaluation, how to read the conformance levels, and four questions worth asking a vendor. Plus why calendars are unusually hard to make accessible.
Preventing Double-Booking in Salesforce
Validation rules cannot see other records, and duplicate rules match on equality while overlap is not equality. Why conflict and capacity are different problems, and why the fix belongs at selection time rather than save time.
Building a Calendar Time Slot Picker in Salesforce
Salesforce gives you a date picker and a time field, not a grid of selectable slots. What a real slot picker has to do, and the parts of building one that nobody scopes: overlap math, timezones, race conditions, and keyboard accessibility.
Recurring Date Patterns in Salesforce
Every other Tuesday, the 2nd and 4th Friday, the last Saturday. Salesforce recurrence stops at Events and Tasks. The two kinds of recurrence, why "last" breaks hand-rolled logic, and whether to store the rule or the dates.
How to Let Users Pick Multiple Dates in a Salesforce Screen Flow
Flow captures one date per element. Five common workarounds, why the start-and-end-date version is quietly wrong, and how to get a real collection back into your flow.
