Fields

Field Details
BaseObject
Type

Properties
Filter, Group, Restricted picklist, Sort
Description
The object on which a timeline is based. Information displayed in a timeline comes from objects that are related to the base object. The base object can be any Salesforce object, standard or custom.

DeveloperName
Type
string
Properties
Filter, Group, Sort
Description
The unique name of the object in the API. This name can contain only underscores and alphanumeric characters, and must be unique in your org. It must begin with a letter, not include spaces, not end with an underscore, and not contain two consecutive underscores. In managed packages, this field prevents naming conflicts on package installations. With this field, a developer can change the object’s name in a managed package and the changes are reflected in a subscriber’s organization. Label is Record Type Name. This field is automatically generated, but you can supply your own value if you create the record using the API.

When creating large sets of data, always specify a unique DeveloperName for each record. If no DeveloperName is specified, performance may slow as a DeveloperName is generated for each record.
