Prerequisites and Assumptions

Before we dive into the instructions, make sure you have:

A Salesforce org with the necessary permissions and access

Familiarity with the Salesforce Setup menu and navigation

Step 1: Identify the Sale_Line_Id Field

The first step is to locate the sale_line_id field on your page layout. To do this:

Click on Objects and Fields under the Customize tab
Select the object containing the sale_line_id field (e.g., Opportunity or Account)

Take note of the field’s API name, as you’ll need it later.

Step 2: Create a Custom Field-Level Security Setting

To make the sale_line_id field invisible, you’ll need to create a custom field-level security setting. Follow these steps:

Navigate to the Setup menu in your Salesforce org
Click on Security under the Administer tab
Select Field-Level Security
Click the New button to create a new field-level security setting
Enter a descriptive label for the setting (e.g., “Hide Sale_Line_Id Field”)
Select the object containing the sale_line_id field (e.g., Opportunity or Account)
Select the sale_line_id field from the list of available fields
Set the field’s accessibility to Hidden
Click Save to save the new field-level security setting

Step 3: Assign the Custom Field-Level Security Setting

Now that you’ve created the custom field-level security setting, it’s time to assign it to the necessary profiles or users. Follow these steps:

Navigate to the Setup menu in your Salesforce org
Click on Security under the Administer tab
Select Users or Profiles, depending on your desired scope
Select the user or profile to which you want to assign the custom field-level security setting
Click the Edit button to edit the user or profile
Scroll down to the Field-Level Security section
Click the Edit button next to the object containing the sale_line_id field
Select the custom field-level security setting you created in Step 2
Click Save to save the changes

Step 4: Verify the Results

To confirm that the sale_line_id field is now invisible, navigate to a record containing the field and verify that it’s no longer visible.

If you’re still seeing the field, double-check your setup and ensure that the custom field-level security setting is assigned correctly.
