Do you ever move lots of Staff Accounts from one Profile to another? We do! If you use standard Oracle Service Cloud product features it takes a VERY long time. With the standard process you must individually open a Staff Account record, open the assigned Profile modal window, select the Profile, then save and close the record. Imagine if you had to move 20, or 50, or 100 Staff Accounts to a new Profile? That would take FOREVER!

New CXDev Toolbox Tool: Metadata Explorer
Posted by AW Rowse on Monday, October 22, 2018 - 8:56am Ever need to quickly look up the labels, descriptions, column names, or field types in your Oracle Service Cloud database? How about the ID’s and Labels of menu fields? Are you saying that you haven’t memorized that the contact’s primary email address uses a menu ID of “0” and label of “Email - Primary” and that the mobile phone selection has a “ID” of “1” and a label of “Mobile Phone”?
You aren’t alone! We have worked on Oracle Service Cloud (and before that, RightNow) for over a decade and we still have to double check field names and lookup ID/values.
CXDev Toolbox Updated with CCOM 1.4 and support for Bulk Delete Queries
Posted by AW Rowse on Friday, October 12, 2018 - 9:09am We just rolled out an important update to the CXDev Toolbox that enable some new and exciting usages of the tool.
The biggest update is an under-the-hood change to use version 1.4 of the Oracle Service Cloud SOAP API. When it is available (applies to any sites Aug 2017 or newer), the toolbox will prefer this version for operations and communication. If you are on an older site, you are still supported. The toolbox will automatically use the latest available version of the API theoretically back to version 1.0 (but no guarantees).
