Output forms

The steps to output the form using SVF Cloud differ depending on the service as the data source. This section explains how to output Salesforce data to a form.

Outline of form output

To output Salesforce data to a form, set the details of form output (form layout, output method, etc.) in "SVF button" in SVF Cloud Manager and create a "Print button".

Once you create a print button, you can place it as a custom button in Salesforce, such as on a detail page.

Clicking the print button placed on the page will launch the SVF Cloud preview screen, which will retrieve Salesforce data and create a form.

The form is output through the package of SVF Cloud for Salesforce.

Reference

The following two types of buttons are used for outputting a form.

  • SVF button

    The button set details of form output such as form layout and output method.

    You cannot output Salesforce data only with the SVF button (except when using the developer function.) You need to create a print button.

  • Print button

    Based on the settings of the SVF button, it is a button to output Salesforce data to a form.

    Once you create a print button in the SVF Button Settings screen, you can place it on the Salesforce page.

In SVF Cloud for Salesforce, each Salesforce tenant has its own SVF Cloud tenant.

SVF Cloud's Sandbox environment can be initialized or increased as needed. You can also change the Salesforce environment to which the Sandbox environment is connected (Change the Salesforce connecting with SVF Cloud, Initialize an existing tenant, Add a new tenant).Add a new tenant

Form layouts and SVF buttons can be exchanged (released) between tenants of SVF Cloud (Release the SVF button to another tenant).Release the SVF button to another tenant
