Overview

This document explains the structure of Salesforce object layouts and provides a technical guide to customizing them for MassMailer functionality

Understanding Salesforce Object Layouts

A Salesforce object (page) layout controls the UI and behavior of records within an object. It enables administrators to configure:

  • Field Visibility: Add/remove fields from the layout
  • Field Properties: Set fields as Read-Only or Required
  • Page Sections: Organize fields into logical groups
  • Custom Buttons & Actions: Add operational controls (e.g., Send Email)
  • Related Lists: Display associated records (e.g., activities, campaigns)

These configurations ensure role-based access and improved usability for different teams.
