Installation Guide

Install Datatrax in your Salesforce org

This guide walks a Salesforce System Administrator through installing the Datatrax package, configuring it with your license credentials, and submitting your first data load. The whole process takes about 15 minutes.

Before you begin

  • System Administrator profile in the target Salesforce org (production or sandbox)
  • An active Datatrax account — start a free 14-day trial if you don't have one
  • Ability to create an External Client App in your Salesforce org's Setup

What you'll install

The Datatrax Salesforce package adds the following to your org:

  • Data Load Request — the object your users fill out to submit a load job
  • Data Load Mapping — reusable templates that map CSV columns to Salesforce fields
  • Datatrax Settings — a custom setting that stores your license credentials
  • Datatrax Flow — an autolaunched flow that notifies the Datatrax processing service when a request is submitted

Steps

Deploying to end users? Read Controlling Access before you roll Datatrax out broadly. It covers how to scope the connected user, manage mapping template permissions, and restrict which operations different users can run.
