I found it many years ago in an arcade that was closing in St Joe Missouri. I bought it for $120, it was the find of my life! I remember using it in Blockbuster when I was a kid, it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen at the time.

Even once you understand how to use soft soft, having the ear to make a good soft is a whole different story

Hi, i am a new admin for a small nonprofit but wanted to do this to get a good view of org to be able to clean up and then leave behind documentation in case of bus accident ;). But since not a developer just following instructions but good with this. Is NPM free? This is where Im hesitant to move forward. Ran the script without it but doesnt work (NPM not recognized). I did see comment below about additional install. Also - does it automatically pull out all objects or you have to name the one's you want as in your example. Thanks!

@CodingWithTheForce Год назад

Yep npm is free and it pulls all custom objects by default, you only have to list standard objects you’d like it to pull that aren’t the Contact, Account or User objects.

@awesomekj5812 Год назад

Sorry but why my comment is being deleted when I wanted to get thoughts of appExchange that does the same thing and with User interface to use it ?

@CodingWithTheForce Год назад

No idea, I have never deleted a single comment on any of my videos. Sometimes RU-vid auto-deletes them though and I have no idea why it decides to do that.

@awesomekj5812 Год назад

@@CodingWithTheForce Yeah anytime I put Salesoforce App Exchange link here ...its gets deleted...anways there is an app exchange called " Config Workbook" that does the same thing and gives you UI to do that ....curious to hear your thoughts on it . Thanks for all the hardwork you do ...we really appreciate it
