DescribeGlobalResult

The describeGlobal() call returns a DescribeGlobalResult object, which has the following properties.

Name	Type	Description
encoding	string	Specifies how an organization’s data is encoded, such as `UTF-8` or `ISO-8859-1`.
maxBatchSize	int	Maximum number of records allowed in a `create()`, `update()`, or `delete()` call.
sobjects	DescribeGlobalSObjectResult[]	List of result objects that returns information about the available objects for your organization. Available in API version 17.0 and later. This property enhances the information that was previously available in the types property.
types	string[]	List of available objects for your organization. You iterate through this list to retrieve the object string that you pass to `describeSObjects()`. Beginning with API version 17.0, this property is no longer supported. Use the name property in DescribeGlobalSObjectResult instead.

DescribeGlobalSObjectResult

Represents the properties for one of the objects available for your organization. Each object has the following properties:

Name	Type	Description
activateable	boolean	Reserved for future use.
createable	boolean	Indicates whether the object can be created via the `create()` call (`true`) or not (`false`).
custom	boolean	Indicates whether the object is a custom object (`true`) or not (`false`).
customSetting	boolean	Indicates whether the object is a custom setting object (`true`) or not (`false`).
deletable	boolean	Indicates whether the object can be deleted via the `delete()` call (`true`) or not (`false`).
deprecatedAndHidden	boolean	Reserved for future use.
keyPrefix	string	Three-character prefix code in the object ID. Object IDs are prefixed with three-character codes that specify the type of the object. For example, Account objects have a prefix of `001` and Opportunity objects have a prefix of `006`. Note that a key prefix can sometimes be shared by multiple objects so it does not always uniquely identify an object. Use the value of this field to determine the object type of a parent in those cases where the child may have more than one object type as parent (polymorphic). For example, you may need to obtain the keyPrefix value for the parent of a Task or Event.
label	string	Label text for a tab or field renamed in the user interface, if applicable, or the object name, if not. For example, an organization representing a medical vertical might rename Account to `Patient`. Tabs and fields can be renamed in the Salesforce.com user interface. See the Salesforce.com online help for more information.
labelPlural	string	Label text for an object that represents the plural version of an object name, for example, “Accounts.”
layoutable	boolean	Indicates whether the object supports the `describeLayout()` call (`true`) or not (`false`).
mergeable	boolean	Indicates whether the object can be merged with other objects of its type (`true`) or not (`false`). `true` for leads, contacts, and accounts.
name	string	Name of the object. This name is equivalent to an entry in the types list that is no longer supported, beginning with API version 17.0.
queryable	boolean	Indicates whether the object can be queried via the `query()` call (`true`) or not (`false`).
replicateable	boolean	Indicates whether the object can be replicated via the `getUpdated()` and `getDeleted()` calls (`true`) or not (`false`).
retrieveable	boolean	Indicates whether the object can be retrieved via the `retrieve()` call (`true`) or not (`false`).
searchable	boolean	Indicates whether the object can be searched via the `search()` call (`true`) or not (`false`).
triggerable	boolean	Indicates whether the object supports Apex triggers.
undeletable	boolean	Indicates whether an object can be undeleted using the `undelete()` call (`true`) or not (`false`).
updateable	boolean	Indicates whether the object can be updated via the `update()` call (`true`) or not (`false`).
