Custom Metadata #inSalesforce

Custom metadata in Salesforce is a flexible and scalable way to store custom data. It's a good option for making frequent changes to custom data or testing different configurations.

To create a custom metadata type, you can:

Go to Setup > Custom Metadata Types > New Custom Metadata Type.

Give your custom metadata type a label, name, and description.

Define the form of the application metadata.

Build reusable functionality.

Custom metadata types:

-Are customizable, deployable, packageable, and upgradeable.

-Store records in a memory cache for faster retrieval of data.

-Have a size based on field size, not actual records.

You can use custom metadata types to:

-Define custom charges, like duties and VAT rates.

-Include the type as part of an extension package so subscriber orgs can reference the master data.
