Amazing Admin and Dev tool
From the simplest tasks to more intricate development work, Octopus provides you with a simple yet comprehensive view to your Org. It is also easy enough for unexperienced admins or even advanced end users to use. On my case, it made the construction of the entire Org documentation way easier!
Works great but missing Autolaunched flows
This is a great, free solution that really helps simplify creating configuration workbooks and understanding the ins and outs of one's Salesforce environment. I frequently recommend it to my clients. One gap I have found, though, is that Autolaunched Flows are not being captured. I've tried adjusting the Session Settings based on the comments below, but that doesn't appear to address the issue. One other nitpicky item-would be great if the Excel Export was on separate tabs (or if you had a choice to pick).
Not able to download /export
Hello, First of all, a great and simple app to achieve sfdc documentation. However, I installed this in my sandbox to test and I am not able to download or export the details into any format. I am just seeing the metadata details in the browser. Anything i am missing here?
Nice app, procesbuilder and flows now showing
Really nice app, giving me good documentation . For showing workflows, flows and process builders I had to turn off the setting "Lock sessions to the IP address from which they originated". Thanks to Kamini for finding the solution

Have used for years - but workflows, flows and process builders not showing
Have used for years to document client orgs, great App, but now it is not showing the workflows, flows, and process builders not showing up - did something happen?
Need Support
The workflow rules and validation rules don't show up, we have followed the user manual and have done the remote site settings too but not working. Can someone please help ?
Need a support for issues on the app
Hi, I did not find any other way to contact the app support. I have issues when trying to export the Workflows, validation rules and Process builder. Even, though i added the salesforce instance URL in the Remote site settings, I still get a blank data for these sections. Can plaese someone help me with this.
Hello Gol As part of our regular yearly listing check up we found that somehow your comments were not answered earlier. Please accept our sincere apologies for the same. Thanks for pointing us into the issue you have faced, this could be an issue related to the remote site settings that needs to be set before in order for the app to work properly. Please suggest if we can have a discussion on this to check the settings or we can arrange a demo for you. Best Regards Vishnu (Team Astrea)
Not sure yet - can't find it!
I just downloaded this into our sandbox and I can't find it! Am I missing a step? I completed the Remote Site Settings step...
Hello Trudy As part of our regular yearly listing check up we found that somehow your comments were not answered earlier. Please accept our sincere apologies for the same. Thanks for your interest in the app and pointing us to your interest. Currently Octopus supports only the documentation of the instance and there is another solution of ours that can be a fit for you. Please suggest if you would like to have a discussion on the same or a demo can be scheduled for you to understand if that works for you. Best Regards Vishnu (Team Astrea)
Okay, I've found it (didn't do the Remove Site Setting before installing, so didn't install). However, for a lot of the items I don't see the point. The breakdown of fields for the profiles is helpful, but I was hoping for more insight into where fields are used, rather than just a list of the fields and field types which I could find by going into the admin side.
Great app for quick documentation
This is a simple to setup and use app if you want to generate some quick documentation for your org. I don't think the document it generates is suitable as your only or finished documentation, but it's a good start!
Hi, This error occurred due to 'Apex heap size too large' and these lines already mention in Octopus app i.e ,Octopus can sometimes encounter 'Apex heap size too large' error due to Salesforce governor limits, please deselect a few items or choose a lower picklist value to resolve the error. For any query please contact us support@astreait.com Thanks
