The SalesForce plugin Setup & Use

[tgb417]

I'm working on a project with a group of folks.  We are trying to get the SalesForce Plugin to work.  I have a feeling that I don't have the appropriate access right now to do these steps.  What access does it take to "Create a 'New Connected App'"?

I guess I'm asking what do I tell the SalesForce Administrator to either do?  Or give me access to do.  Is this feature available in all versions of SalesForce?  Or do you have to pay for a particular version of the product?

P.S. How is this plugin working out for folks who are using it.  Any tips or tricks I should know?

We are working this out.

Now all I have to do is learn some SOQL.

SOQL turns out not to be that bad.

Here is a quick overview of the differences.

Now I have to learn what is stored in which objects.  Which are standard and which are custom to my client.

I just got this to work for a dataset query against my SF development sandbox.

The authorization method which worked was 'Salesforce SSO method,' which was stored as a preset.  I was unable to get the "connect to Salesforce with a Username-Password login that is stored a plugin preset" authorization method to work.

Once you get connection to work, then the fun begins!  (See screenshot)
