Summer '13 Release Series: Improved Setup User Interface

Improved Setup User Interface:

The new improved setup user interface is actually quite nice. It is a feature with Summer '13 that can be found in Setup->Customize->User Interface. It is located at the bottom and is labeled as "Enable Improved Setup User Interface." But what does it do?

Here are the changes you will notice if you enable this feature:

  1. Setup will change. The layout of the sections on the left hand page will change. See this side by side comparison:
  2. Your upper right Menu bar will change. Setup is now broken out, for those who can see setup and config. Other end users don't see Setup, but do see My Profile and My Settings.
    1. Admin Users See:
    2. End Users See:
  3. Finally, what does My Settings look like? Well it's completely different and if you ask me a direction that Setup should take in general. Hopefully that's the plan for SFDC as we all know that Setup was due for a UI overall five years ago. Here's the landing page:
As you can see, this is a much cleaner interface with a more Web 2.0 view. This makes the end user experience much more cohesive. From what I can tell the options are all the same, as the old "My Settings" but the interface is just a lot nicer. This is yet another thing that you can do in Summer '13 release in Clicks Not Code.
