Why Every Organization Should Make Sustainability Part of its Mission

ASNF 2 days ago

Over the past decade, organizations like Sierra Club, Greenpeace, and 350.org have made incredible progress on critical sustainability initiatives. However, with global sea levels still rising rapidly, biodiversity declining at an alarming rate, and the world’s most vulnerable populations bearing the brunt of the climate crisis, it is clear that the efforts of dedicated environmental nonprofits alone are not enough.

Spring 21 – Access Custom Metadata Type Records using SOQL and without Using SOQL

Custom metadata types enable you to create your own setup objects whose records are metadata rather than data. These are typically used to define application configurations that need to be migrated from one environment to another, or packaged and installed.

Before Spring 21 release we have the option to access Custom Metadata Type Records only Using SOQL likely below:

System.debug(‘soqlFileTypes ::’+soqlFileTypes);

for(File_Type_Mapping__mdt fileType : soqlFileTypes) {
