shill Question regarding Record Types
Hi,
My name is Fred Sakr
and I'm a developer with Eloqua Corporation.
I have a
question regarding Record Types in SalesForce.Com. We're creating a Custom
Object with different layouts for each Record Type. The Custom Object is going
to be shared among several SalesForce.com installations and we'll be
creating/updating the custom objects using the SFDC API.
Please note that the Record Type is not related to an Profile/Agent, but to a specific type of Custom Object, ie: Email Metrics, WebSite Metrics, Form Metrics, where the master Object contains the exhaustive list of all metrics.
We're having trouble
finding a common way to change the layout for each SFDC installation (not based on Agent). Since the
Record Type ID is unique in each installation we have to customize the record
type in each client map. We would rather have a common list of recordType IDs
for all clients - or change layouts based on a common list.
Is there a way to
trigger a layout based on a Record Type Name or something that is common between
SFDC installations? Is it possible to have the same Record Type IDs used
between different installations?
Sincerely,
Fred

you will have to query the record type table, using the name then get the ID for that record type at that customer.
Q: Is it possible to have the same Record Type IDs used between different installations?
No, it is not
