How to create the Conga Composer Button

Create a Custom Conga Composer Button

Conga Composer includes sample buttons on the following standard objects so you can easily copy and paste the base URL into your button. 
  • Lead  
  • Contact
  • Account
  • Opportunity
  • Case
  • Contract                      
  1. ​From Setup, click Customize, select one of the above standard objects and click Buttons, Links, and Actions
  2. ​Click on the Conga Composer button and copy the four lines in the Button or Link URL field
3. Click back to the main Buttons, Links, and Actions menu and click New Button or Link

    
​4. For the label, enter something that will describe the kind of document you will create
    with Conga Composer, i.e. "AccountPlan" or "Invoice"

​5. For the Display type, choose either a Detail Page Link or a Detail Page Button

​6. In the Button or Link URL text box, paste the URL you copied from the previous button



7. ​Insert your object ID by choosing the field type from Select Field Type and the desired ID field from Insert Field

                 ​Note: ​For custom objects insert the Record ID ​field.
8. Click Save

​Tip: Your button URL must not contain spaces, particularly at the ends of lines. If it does, clicking your Composer button will result in a “404-Page Not Found” error.

​Tip: Conga Composer will retrieve all fields from the master object as well as different detail data sets depending on the object. For more information on what related data is available depending on your master object, read our article on master object related datasets. Composer can also gather additional data sets using Salesforce Reports or Conga Queries.

How to create a custom button to open Visualforce page

Let's say that you are working in a large Org and different groups throughout the company use the same object, but each a little differently. Instead of overriding the standard "Edit" or "New" buttons, create a custom button. For example, there is a custom object on the standard Opportunity object and you want to launch a different page layout for your sales team for a custom quoting object. Create your "Quote" Visualforce page. Create the custom button on the custom object. Label: New API Name: New_Quote Type: List Button Content Source: OnClick JavaScript Behavior: Execute JavaScript Button or Link URL: window.open("/apex/InputVisualforcePageNameHere?RecordType=InputRecordTypeIdHere&retURL={!Opportunity.Id}&cancelURL={!Opportunity.Id}&saveURL={!Opportunity.Id}","_parent"); Edit the Opportunity page layout for the sales team and modify the buttons on the related list to add your custom button.

Replace the Salesforce.com logo with a company logo

Having the Salesforce.com logo in the top left of your Org can make it feel like you are using a tool that is not built for your company. Fortunately, there is an easy way to brand your Org with your company's logo. Follow these simple steps: Import the company logo Go to All Tabs > Documents. Select the "Documents" object and the "New" button. The document name will be something like "CompanyLogo.jpg". Set "Externally Available Image" as TRUE. Choose to place the record in either a custom Admin folder to separate from other document files or place it in your "My Personal Documents". Upload the file from your computer. I recommend that the image you attach be 200 pixels width, 45 pixels height, and no more than 20KB in size. Try to use an image with a transparent background since SFDC's background uses a gradient color scheme. Save. Create a custom App Go to Setup > Build > Create > Apps. Select

How to Format Number or Currency Values in Conga (Word)

Formatting Number Values The number formatting parameter begins with \#, followed by any combination of the following parameters.  Please see the examples following this table. When Conga Composer populates a numeric value, the digit grouping symbol (the “thousands separator”) is defined according to your Locale settings (as defined in Salesforce’s Setup | Personal Information) or according to the Culture or CurrencyCulture Conga Composer parameter. Despite the cultural settings that govern the output from Conga Composer, within an appearance parameter, you must use a comma (",") for the digit grouping symbol (for thousands) and a period (".") as the decimal symbol. ​   PARAMETER DESCRIPTION 0 (zero) Specifies the requisite numeric places to display in the result. If the result does not include a digit in that place, Word displays a 0 (zero). Example: { = 4 + 5 \# 00.00 } displays "09.00". # Specifies the requisite numeric places to display in the r
