            Tips on Building S-Controls

            Use these tips when building s-controls.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Salesforce Classic
            Available in: Contact Manager, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
            User Permissions Needed
            To create, edit, and delete custom s-controls: Customize Application
            Important
            Important Visualforce pages supersede s-controls. Organizations that haven’t previously used s-controls can’t create them. Existing s-controls are unaffected, and can still be edited.
            • If you create a URL s-control, do not select Show Section Heading on Detail Page in the page layout section where you put the s-control. This option in conjunction with collapsible sections causes some problems in certain browsers.
            • Use global variables to access special merge fields for components like custom buttons, links, and s-controls. For example, the $Request global variable allows you to access query parameters inside a snippet, s-control, or custom button.
            • Use the {!$Organization.UISkin} merge field in your s-control to retrieve the User Interface Theme that the organization has selected. The Theme1 value for this merge field represents the Salesforce Classic theme and Theme2 represents the Salesforce theme.
            • S-controls use the {! and } characters (previously used to surround merge fields in formulas) to enclose an expression, which can include one or more merge fields, functions, or global variables.
            • When overriding an action, use the no override argument to prevent a recursion, indicated by empty frames on the page.
            • To insert activity merge fields, select Event or Task from Select Field Type.
