View term → - OpportunityCore CRMBeginner
An Opportunity in Salesforce represents a potential revenue-generating deal or sale. It tracks the progress of a deal through customizable sales stages, from initial prospecting to closed-won or closed-lost, and stores key details like expected revenue, close date, and probability of winning.
View term → - Opportunity Contact RoleSalesBeginner
An Opportunity Contact Role in Salesforce (OpportunityContactRole in the API) is a standard junction object that links a Contact to an Opportunity, capturing each person's role in the deal - Decision Maker, Economic Buyer, Influencer, Champion, Evaluator, or any custom value the org defines. Each Opportunity Contact Role record holds a ContactId, an OpportunityId, a Role picklist, and an IsPrimary flag (only one Contact per Opportunity can be primary). Contacts attached through Opportunity Contact Roles do not have to belong to the Opportunity's Account - this allows complex selling situations where partners, influencers, advisors, or third-party evaluators participate in a deal without being employees of the buying organization. Opportunity Contact Roles drive several core sales features: campaign-influence reporting (which Contacts at which Opportunities came from which Campaigns), deal-team visibility, win/loss analysis by buyer persona, and account-based marketing attribution. They are required prerequisites for many advanced Sales Cloud features including Salesforce Inbox auto-association and Pardot/Account Engagement-driven attribution.
View term → - Opportunity Line ItemSalesIntermediate
An Opportunity Line Item in Salesforce (OpportunityLineItem in the API) is a standard child object that represents a single Product included on an Opportunity, capturing the Quantity, UnitPrice, ListPrice, Discount, and TotalPrice for that line. Each Opportunity Line Item links to a parent Opportunity through OpportunityId and to a Product through PricebookEntryId - meaning an Opportunity Line Item always sits on top of a specific Price Book Entry and inherits its currency, list price, and product reference. The sum of all Opportunity Line Items' TotalPrice values populates the Amount field on the parent Opportunity (when "Use Product-Based Pricing" is enabled), which then drives forecasts, pipeline reports, and territory roll-ups. Opportunity Line Items snapshot pricing at insert time - subsequent changes to the underlying Price Book Entry do not propagate, so historical pipeline values remain stable as price lists evolve.
View term → - Opportunity SettingsSalesIntermediate
Opportunity Settings is a Setup page where administrators configure organization-wide behavior for the Opportunity object, including whether to prompt users to add products when creating Opportunities, whether to enable Opportunity Teams, and whether to track changes to Opportunity fields for forecasting.
View term → - Opportunity TeamSalesAdvanced
A group of Salesforce users assigned to work together on a specific opportunity, with each member having a defined team role and configurable access level (read-only or read/write) to the opportunity record.
View term → - Opportunity Team MemberSalesIntermediate
An Opportunity Team Member in Salesforce (OpportunityTeamMember in the API) is a standard junction object that adds a User to an Opportunity Team and grants that user configurable access to the parent Opportunity record. Each Opportunity Team Member record holds an OpportunityId, a UserId, a TeamMemberRole picklist (Account Manager, Pre-Sales Consultant, Sales Manager, Sales Rep, etc.), and an OpportunityAccessLevel field set to Read or Edit. Opportunity Team Members are the deal-level equivalent of Account Team Members - they let multiple users collaborate on a specific deal with shared visibility and edit access, without affecting access to other deals on the same Account. This matters most in orgs where Opportunity organization-wide defaults are Private or Public Read Only, requiring an explicit grant for non-owner users to participate in deal work. Default Opportunity Teams (configured per User in Personal Settings) auto-populate Opportunity Team Members on every new Opportunity the user creates, so a sales rep's standard supporting cast (SE, SDR, manager) follows them across every deal automatically.
View term → - Opt Out of Customer Data AccessAdministrationIntermediate
Opt Out of Customer Data Access is a Setup feature that controls whether Salesforce support engineers can access the org's data when troubleshooting support cases. Organizations with strict data privacy requirements can opt out to ensure that Salesforce personnel cannot view any customer records during support interactions.
View term → - OrderSalesIntermediate
A Salesforce object that represents a confirmed purchase or request from a customer, containing order products (line items), status tracking, and associations to accounts and contracts for fulfillment management.
View term → - Order ProductSalesIntermediate
An Order Product in Salesforce (OrderItem in the API) is a standard child object that represents a single line item on an Order - one Product, one quantity, one price. Each Order Product has a parent Order through the OrderId field, a reference to the Product through PricebookEntryId, and a copy of pricing details at the moment the line was created: Quantity, UnitPrice, ListPrice (snapshot from the Price Book Entry), TotalPrice (calculated), and ServiceDate. Order Products are typically created in one of three ways: automatically when a closed-won Opportunity is converted to an Order (using Salesforce's built-in "Create Order from Opportunity" action), manually added by a sales-ops user as part of order entry, or programmatically through Apex or an integration. Like Quote Line Items and Opportunity Line Items, Order Products snapshot pricing at insert time - subsequent changes to the underlying Price Book Entry do not propagate.
View term → - Order SettingsAdministrationBeginner
Order Settings is a Setup page where administrators configure organization-wide behavior for the Order object, including enabling orders, setting default order status values, configuring reduction orders, and controlling whether negative quantities are allowed on order products.
View term → - OrgPlatformIntermediate

Each org has a unique identifier and operates as an isolated tenant in Salesforce's multitenant architecture. Companies typically have one production org and multiple sandbox orgs.
View term → - Org LimitCore CRMBeginner
An Org Limit in Salesforce is an organization-level resource allocation that defines the maximum resources available to the entire org, such as API request limits, storage limits, or data limits. Org Limits are tracked via the Limits API and are enforced to ensure platform stability in the multi-tenant environment. They are distinct from Governor Limits, which are per-transaction runtime constraints on Apex code execution.
