related cases.
Case team helps distinguishing between all the departments which were involved in resolving one
case.
Lets say a case will need technical help, functional help or business help. Case team related list
will have 3 users of these 3 teams with their team name like technical advisor, Functional analyst
or business user.
Solution overview:->
Solution can be attached to a case.
Solutions do not use sharing rules. Instead, object-level security (as determined by the users
profile and permission sets) and the Manage Published Solutions privilege (see below)
determine what access the user has to solutions.
Solution can be organized in multiple categories and a solution can be assigned to multiple
categories

Once enabled, HTML solutions cannot be disabled. This will allow your organization to use rich
text fields (formatting, images, etc.) within solutions.

Self-Service > Public Solutions), or exposed through self-service or customer
portals.

Data Management
Import wizard
Import account and Contacts, lead, solution, campaign member and person account

Data loader
Application can upload mostly all the data objects in salesforce and perform all type of CRUD
operations.
Data loader establish a connection with the help of salesforce id and external id.
Workflow rules are always triggered via data loader.
The permissions are different. Access to the wizards are driven by specific permissions (e.g.
Import Personal Contacts and Import Leads permissions on profile/permission set), while Data
Loader permissions are driven by the global API Enabled permission on profile/permission set.
Try to avoid validation rules for web to lead and web to case to avoid rejecting submission.
Trigger before save.
