VernonBaas Account Field TickerSymbol
Could someone explain what is going on with the TickerSymbol field on the Account object?
The Salesforce interface describes it as a Data Type "Content(20)". I can find no documentation on what a "Content" data type is. It's not a standard data type and it's not listed as one of the primitive data types.
The documentation describes it as a String with a maximum of 20 characters, the same data type as the Account Name which is obviously false.
Thanks.
'Ticker Symbol' field has a unique data type (Content) in that any value you enter here will be considered as a ticker symbol by salesforce and clicking on it will open up a seperate website showing the current stock price. I guess it connects to yahoo.
Hope this helps!
