Upload Settings

Upload detail record whose master does not exist: Check the box to upload a detail record even though it is not linked to the master record.

For example, if you are running a script that has Accounts as the Master object and Contacts as the Details object and you do not yet have account information for some of the contacts, check this option to upload the contacts, and then add the associated account information later.

Validation during Run: Choose an option:

  • Validate and Run: Validation runs on each data row, and the row is uploaded only if validation is successful.
  • Run (no validation during Run): This option is for data that has already been validated separately; if the data has not been validated and there are errors, Studio for Salesforce returns error messages in the Log column.

Repeat Master rows in download all to single sheet: Check this box to include the master data for each detail object row that is downloaded.

Show Condition Builder on Instant Query: For single-object queries, check this box to open the Condition Builder when you click Instant Query.

Use Skip Field Indicator: Select the character, \ or /, that will indicate that a field should be skipped during upload and that the existing value in Salesforce should be retained.

View the date and time formats: Studio for Salesforce by default uses the same settings that Windows uses. Click the View button to see what those settings are.

API Settings

Real-time (SOAP API) - Number of records to upload in one API call: Reduce the number of API calls that you make to Salesforce.com by selecting a value from the list. The maximum number of records is 200.

Asynchronous (Bulk API) - Number of records to upload in one API call: Reduce the number of API calls that you make to Salesforce.com by selecting a value from the list. The minimum number or records is 100. The maximum number is 10000. The default value is 5000.

Refresh Bulk(asynchronous) jobs after interval of minutes: Check this box to have the Bulk Request Manager automatically update, and then specify the number of minutes between updates.
