Step 4: Install and Test the Beta Version

Installing the beta is easy, just click the email link and provide the username and password you use for your test org.

  1. Log out of your dev org by clicking Your Name | Logout.
  2. Click the Installation URL link you received in your email.
  3. On the login page, enter the Username and Password of your test org.
  4. On the Package Installation Details page, click Continue.

    If you get a warning that you can't install this package because it was created in this org, you accidentally developed in your test org. It's OK, just remember from now on that your test org is really your dev org and vice versa.

Your app doesn't do much, in fact it only has a single field. The name field is called a standard field because it is included automatically with every custom object you create. You can also create custom fields to further define your object.
