Beskrivelse

Data Loader can be used to export Approval Process information. 

 

When you need to export Approval Process data from Salesforce using Data Loader (a client application for bulk data operations), the approval process information is distributed across several related API objects rather than a single object. This article explains which objects to query and how to access them.

Løsning

Salesforce stores Approval Process information across the following API objects. Use Data Loader's 'Show All Salesforce Objects' option to locate and export each one.

 

The Approval process information is held in the following Objects:

  • ProcessInstance - Represents an instance of a single, end-to-end approval process.
  • ProcessInstanceStep - Represents one work item in an approval process.
  • ProcessInstanceWorkItem - Represents a user’s pending approval request.
  • ProcessInstanceHistory - This read-only object shows all steps and pending approval requests associated with an approval process. This object is not exposed via API and cannot be accessed using Data Loader. 

After clicking Export in Data Loader, check the Show All Salesforce Objects box to select these objects.
