Retrieving Layout Metadata
Pulsar can provide Salesforce Describe Layout metadata using the getLayout API. The response is DescribeLayout JSON object string .an object (Pulsar 12.0+) or JSON string (Pulsar 11.0 or lower) representing the DescribeLayoutResult from Salesforce
Example:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
var request = {
type: 'getLayout',
object: 'Account', // Required: SObject unique name
data: {
// The following two parameters are optional, and only one is needed
// to specify the RecordType, though if both are specified,
// the IdRecordTypeName will take precedence
RecordTypeId: '012000000000000AAA', // Optional: Id of the RecordType
RecordTypeName: 'Business_Account', // Optional: RecordType Developer Name
}
};
bridge.sendRequest(request, function (result) {
if (result.type === 'layoutResponse') { // case-sensitive
var describeLayoutJSONdescribeLayoutObject = result.data;
var describeLayout = (typeof describeLayoutObject === 'string') ?
JSON.parse(describeLayoutJSONdescribeLayoutObject) : describeLayoutObject;
//....
}
else {
console.log('error: '+ result.data)
}
}); |
Retrieving Layout Section Metadata
Pulsar can provide Salesforce Describe Layout section information using the getLayoutSections API. The response is an array of section dictionaries that exist within the selected layout. The parameters are the same as the getLayout API, with an additional parameter to select the mode (“edit” or “display”).

| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

var request = {
type: 'getLayoutSections',
object: 'Account', // Required: SObject unique name
data: {
// The following two parameters are both optional, and only one is needed
// to specify the RecordType, though if both are specified,
// the IdRecordTypeName will take precedence
RecordTypeId: '012000000000000AAA', // Optional: default Id is shown here
RecordTypeName: 'Business_Account', // Optional: RecordType Developer Name
LayoutMode: 'edit', // Optional: default is 'display'
}
};
bridge.sendRequest(request, function (result) {
if (result.type === 'layoutSectionsResponse') { // case-sensitive
var layoutSections = result.data;
// Example results with explanation:
// [
// {
// "display": "FALSE", // string indicating visibility of a section header
// "heading": "Top of Page", // heading text as defined in the layout
// "section": "0" // logical section ordering as it appears on the page
// },
// {
// "display": "TRUE",
// "heading": "Work Order Detail",
// "section": "1"
// },
// {
// "display": "TRUE",
// "heading": "Ticket Contact",
// "section": "2"
// },
// {
// "display": "TRUE",
// "heading": "Service Report",
// "section": "3"
// },
// {
// "display": "TRUE",
// "heading": "Entitlement",
// "section": "4"
// },
// {
// "display": "TRUE",
// "heading": "System Info",
// "section": "5"
// }
// ]
//...
}
else {
console.log('error: '+ result.data)
}
}); |
Retrieving Layout Field Metadata
Pulsar can provide Salesforce Describe Layout field data using the getLayoutFields API. The response is a flattened array of field dictionaries that exist on the selected layout. Note that layout fields with subcomponents will exist alongside the subcomponent fields themselves. The parameters are the same as the getLayout API, with an additional parameter to select the mode (“edit” or “display”).

RecordTypeName: 'Business_Account', // Optional: RecordType Developer Name
