What’s installed during data installation?
When data installation is run, you will install data to the following custom objects that are installed with the AddressTools package:
Countries
States
The data installed into these objects acts as the backbone for AddressTools’ standardization and validation rules.
Furthermore, during the initial run of data installation, the following address blocks are configured within AddressTools to quick start your implementation:
Account - Billing Address
Account - Shipping Address
Account - Person Mailing Address
Account - Person Other Address
Contact - Mailing Address
Contact - Other Address
Contract - Billing Address
Contract - Shipping Address
Lead - Address
How to run data installation for the first time
Warning – before running the data installation, check your organisation’s storage limit. This can be seen at a glance in the Overview panel in the AddressTools Administration tab. There’s a lot of data to install so ensure you’re not going to exceed it. This can be common in a sandbox or developer org.
To get started:
- Go to
App Launcher | AddressTools Free Administration
. - Use the
Get Started
button under Data Installation. - Select a Language.
- If you’re using a sandbox, it is recommended to check the
Only install sample data
setting. - Select
Install
. - Read the warning and then
Yes
when ready.
The full data installation process can take a while, so now might be a good time to grab a coffee and read through the “Understanding” articles available in the rest of the installation walkthrough.
