The namespace prefix associated with this object. Each Developer Edition organization that creates a managed package has a unique namespace prefix. The limit is 15 characters. You can refer to a component in a managed package by using the namespacePrefix__componentName notation.

The namespace prefix can have one of the following values:

  • In Developer Edition organizations, the namespace prefix is set to the namespace prefix of the organization for all objects that support it. There is an exception if an object is in an installed managed package. In that case, the object has the namespace prefix of the installed managed package. This is the namespace prefix of the Developer Edition organization of the package developer.
  • In organizations that are not Developer Edition organizations, NamespacePrefix is only set for objects that are part of an installed managed package. There is no namespace prefix for all other objects.

Filter

Restricted picklist

Required. One of the following values: Case, Opportunity, or Solution. Label is Entity Enumeration Or ID.

Usage

Use the BusinessProcess object to offer different subsets of picklist values to different users for the LeadStatus, CaseStatus, and OpportunityStage fields. Similar to a RecordType, a BusinessProcess identifies the type of a row in a Case, Lead, or Opportunity and implies a subset of picklist values for these three fields. The values for the remaining picklist fields are driven off of RecordType.
