Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “The related ContactId and OpportunityId fields need to be populated correctly to link records.”

A block of code is set as follows:

from salesforce_bulk import SalesforceBulk
import csv
# Salesforce credentials
username = 'your_username'
password = 'your_password'
security_token = 'your_security_token'

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

from salesforce_bulk import SalesforceBulk
import csv
# Salesforce credentials
username = 'your_username'
password = 'your_password'
security_token = 'your_security_token'

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

sf force package create –n "My Managed Package" -t Managed –r force-app

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Installing the package by clicking the Get It Now button on the AppExchange listing, which initiates the installation process in the customer’s Salesforce environment.”
