PulsarSettings is a configuration package provided by Luminix to enable the premium features within the Pulsar for Salesforce app.

Setting up the configuration is simple and easy. The admin creates a set of key/value pairs on the Salesforce org which are then read by the app to automatically configure itself to deliver the functionality required to run offline.

Once you install the Pulsar premium package, the Pulsar related tabs will be present in “All Tabs“ section

You can click on Pulsar Settings tab. Click on new to create a Pulsar Setting

PulsarSetting NameAdmin-defined descriptive name for the Pulsar Setting
KeySpecific string key used by the Pulsar App.  This usually takes the form : pulsar.something.someOtherThing
ValueThe string value for the PulsarSetting. It could be anything from a boolean or numeric value, to a string, list, or dictionary values. It can also contain Pulsar-specific code to implement logic for validation rules, formulas and triggers.
Once you create a Pulsar Setting, follow the steps below to see the customization apply on the device
  • Open Pulsar App on Device
  • Login if needed
  • Click on settings icon (on bottom right side of the home screen)
  • Click on “Refresh Settings” (requires the app to be online)
  • These steps are only required when initially creating or changing/deleting the Pulsar setting
  • Admin needs to be online during Pulsar setup
  • Pulsar will read the settings value from the server and customize the app accordingly. You may also need to (re-)sync.
  • Tip: to temporarily remove a Pulsar Setting without deleting it, rename the key so that Pulsar doesn't recognize it, e.g., to something like _IGNORE_pulsar.something.someOtherThing
  • To initiate a manual sync, click on icon on bottom left corner of Pulsar app home screen
  • On the next page, click on the Sync Now button
