SkyVault Content Connector for Salesforce

Search considerations in Salesforce and SkyVault

Consider how you want to structure your information based on whether you need to restrict access.
There are a number of ways in Salesforce that you can search for content, and the results returned depend on the method. You can search:
  1. In a Salesforce record.

    If you search for information (for example, an account) in a Salesforce record, only accounts that are linked to that particular Salesforce record are returned.  Content might exist in multiple places, but that content is returned only if it is linked with the record.

  2. In the SkyVault Repository tab that is displayed in Salesforce.

    If you search for content in the SkyVault Repository tab, all results that you have permission to see are returned from the SkyVault repository. The user can then link the file to one or more Salesforce records.

    If metadata synchronization is enabled, this synchronization happens when a user views a Salesforce record that contains the SkyVault canvas app. The app checks whether a folder for that record exists in SkyVault, and creates a new folder if it does not exist. The app then adds the mapped property values from the Salesforce record to the parent record folder in SkyVault.  If a user searches for that metadata directly in SkyVault (for example, using the Share application), the results are returned successfully.

There is certain content, and associated metadata, that you might want only certain users to see; for example, Human Resources (HR) personnel data. Use a private site for this record type. See Creating sites for more information about the different site types.

You can map an specific object (and therefore all records associated with that object) to a named site in Share. See step 4 of Adding the SkyVault site and canvas app in Salesforce for instructions on how to do this.
