Can you give some examples?


There was one form (to add a customer I think). Really simply deal - 5 text boxes and a create button.

Wouldn't let you click create because its complaining about missing fields (telephone or sector or something).

Except the form literally doesn't have a fields for that stuff.

We also had tons of issues with duplicates because well...global org & suddenly thousands of inexperienced people try to jam stuff on there. So the guy in Egypt links his stuff to Australia because many countries have a "Road Construction Ltd" etc. And then the sales figures pull through cross jurisdication etc. And then the guy in Australia deletes it cause its messing up his dashboard. Just carnage.

TBF I knew our copy of SF was very heavily customized (big contract) & I could sorta see the vision behind it. Perhaps the roll-out was just overly ambitious (bad ERP rollout style) rather than the software inherently bad.
