Introduction

With the Salesforce1 mobile apps, your users can access custom objects and custom apps through the navigation menu and take advantage of custom actions to complete key tasks all from their mobile devices. Your users can also access their custom list views, receive notifications for posts and approvals that need their attention, get an immediate view of their day in the new "Today" app, or choose from a variety of mobile-optimized AppExchange apps to install.

Salesforce1 is fully customizable, allowing you to extend your custom apps to mobile using tools that you’re already familiar with.

This guide walks you through the process of getting your company ready for mobile, from configuring your organization’s settings to rolling out the Salesforce1 app and customizing it with your own branding. You’ll learn how to quickly configure the items that appear in the navigation menu using the Salesforce1 Wizard. You’ll also learn how to optimize page layouts, work with compact layouts, set up mobile notifications, and to customize actions so your users can get important work done quickly from their mobile devices.

The Salesforce1 Admin Guide is an essential resource for Salesforce administrators who want to roll out enterprise mobile to their organizations. This guide introduces you to all of the declarative (point-and-click) tools needed to create a personalized mobile experience.
