Represents information about views of a shared document. This read-only object is available in API version 32.0 and later.

Supported Calls

describeSObjects(), query(), retrieve()

Salesforce CRM Content or Chatter must be enabled to query shared documents. To query content deliveries, content deliveries must be enabled.
Users (including users with the “View All Data” permission) can query only the files that they have access to. If the file is managed by a Content Library, the user must have “Deliver Content” enabled in the library permission definition and be a member of the library. If the file isn’t managed by a Content Library, the user must have the “Create and Share Content Deliveries for Chatter Files” permission.
If the shared document is deleted, the delete cascades to any associated ContentDistributionView. The ContentDistributionView is still queryable by using the QueryAll verb.
Customer Portal users can’t access this object.
