Salesforce Diagrams - Connectors and Endpoints

[@rikkymalviya8323]

Thanks, Tom and Salesforce Architects for making this videos.

Hello! these videos are really cool to see. I think it would be really helpful to have a walkthrough of creating diagram levels 1 - 4 through common business use cases. The Salesforce Architects website does a great job of explaining an eCommerce scenario. A video walkthrough of showing the diagram being built at each level would be even better.

Thanks for watching, and thanks for the idea!

[@ramakrishnaraju84]

Thanks Tom, very clean explanation

Is there a way to add endpoints as part of the Key?

[@SalesforceArchitects]

It's a little bit tricky in LucidChart but what you can do is add two boxes with a connector that has the endpoint you want to use selected (and then the label for what the endpoint means)

[@Alynrochelle87]

@@SalesforceArchitects Actually I saw some of the SF ERD models have on their legend. Why not create a box with the 6 different connectors, the boxes are unnecessary? Then it could be added to the Shape toolkit?

[@SalesforceArchitects]

@@Alynrochelle87 that's a good suggestion. We'll discuss it internally and see what our options are. Thanks!

[@Alynrochelle87]

@@SalesforceArchitects Circling back on this? Is there a cheat sheet file available or chart in Lucidchart yet?

Thanks for sharing...

Loving this! Do you guys have any plans for Data Flow Diagrams? Process, Data Store, Entity?

[@SalesforceArchitects]

Thank you!! We are planning to make more diagramming videos in the future so we'll keep these in mind as potential topics!

[@Alynrochelle87]

Can you provide an object example of an extension? Does that mean external object?

[@SalesforceArchitects]

It's not really an external object. I would think of it more like another internal object that has some additional properties that aren't included on the main object (either due to limitations on the number of fields or only being applicable to specific scenarios like an organization being in a certain industry).

Thank you guys for this fantastic work! Are you planning to add some timeline diagrams for SF projects, and also some business process diagrams examples? Thank you!

Thanks Saby! You can find templates for some of those diagrams in the Reference Architecture gallery on the Salesforce Architects Website: architect.salesforce.com/design/#architecture-gallery Feel free to use the feedback form on the site to let us know about any others that are missing!
