6 Important data management considerations

A
  1. File format: All import data files must be in CSV format.
  2. Salesforce Record ID: An API will accept a globally unique ID that can ether be 15 or 18 char long. An External ID can be used as an alternative.
  3. Mass transfer, update & delete records: Salesforce allows for the mass and individual transfer of accounts, leads, custom objects, approval requests, opportunity teams, update addresses and mass deletion of records.
  4. Data Quality Considerations:
    Use org-wide standards for data entry, naming conventions, importing clean data, use validation rules, and remove duplicate records.
  5. Recycle Bin: Deleted records are stored in the Recycle Bin for 15 days until the limit is reached for record restoration
  6. Duplicate Management: Controls whether and when duplicate records can be created using matching rule criteria.
