Salesforce Schema Lister


Schema Lister is one of the toolkit available in Salesforce Toolkit by Ben Edwards.

This tool uses the Salesforce Metadata API to build a list of objects, fields and field attributes from within your Salesforce Org. It will produce list of all of your Salesforce objects (standard and custom) and all of your custom fields (standard and custom). You also able export it into Excel file for easy reference or other purpose, such as: documentation or audit or etc.

Information produce for each field:
  • Field Label
  • API Name
  • Type  
    • Unfortonately at this moment it doesn't show the field length
    • It show picklist values (including multi-select picklist values)
  • Help Text

Open https://schemalister.herokuapp.com to start, select if you would like to access Production or Sandbox environment, and click "Login to Salesforce with OAuth" button, if you already open Salesforce in the different tab in the same web browser, it will just authenticate, otherwise you need to enter your Salesforce username and password.

Once login, click "Get Schema" button, this will take few minutes for to query your objects and fields, so it is depends on how complex / many your objects and fields. Once done, it will show you the Org Id (make sure you are in the right org), jump to object link for easy navigation and "Export to Xlsx" button to export into Excel file.
