See How Data Dictionary Builder Works
Centralised field documentation Centralise Salesforce field documentation: review Descriptions, Help Text, Field Usage, Sensitivity, Highlighted Data and Compliance Category from one workspace.
Field documentation completeness Measure documentation completeness across Salesforce fields and objects, with visibility into missing Descriptions and Help Text and permission-based coverage.
Profile and Permission Set documentation Identify documentation gaps across Profiles, Permission Sets and Permission Set Groups, including descriptions that are missing, populated or editable.
Data sensitivity and classification Classify sensitive and regulated data with metadata categories for sensitivity, usage and compliance, including classifications relevant to PII, GDPR, HIPAA and PCI.
Permission-based filtering Filter field documentation by standard or custom object, Salesforce user, Profile or multiple Permission Sets to focus each review on relevant metadata and access.
Bulk metadata updates Edit and update supported metadata in bulk, then use controlled review and deployment where supported to keep Salesforce documentation consistent.
Secure read-only access Give users a read-only data dictionary limited to objects and fields they can already access through Salesforce permissions and Field-Level Security.
Configurable visibility Configure which metadata columns appear for each User, Profile or Permission Set, so audiences see approved documentation relevant to their roles.
Search and Excel exports Search and export data dictionary information to Excel for offline reviews, stakeholder discussions and audit evidence.
Data Dictionary Builder & User helps Salesforce teams create accurate metadata documentation and make it available to the right people, without exposing information they are not authorised to see. With Data Dictionary Builder, review and maintain field Descriptions, Help Text, Field Usage, Sensitivity, Highlighted Data and Compliance Category in one place. Track documentation completeness across fields, objects, Profiles, Permission Sets and Permission Set Groups, and identify missing descriptions. Filter by object, user, Profile and multiple Permission Sets. Update supported metadata in bulk and apply changes through controlled deployment where supported. Data Dictionary User gives Salesforce users a read-only dictionary that respects existing object permissions and Field-Level Security. Administrators control which metadata columns are visible by User, Profile or Permission Set. Users can browse approved definitions and export documentation to Excel. Together, the two tools make Salesforce metadata easier to document, maintain and understand. Book a demo to see how the two tools work together.
