Importing Data from Salesforce
To start using Sales Navigator and visualizing your data on the map, you will need to import your standard or custom objects from Salesforce.
*Sales Navigator comes pre-configured with all standard objects (accounts, contacts, leads and opportunities). To configure custom objects or edit/delete the standard object configuration, you must do so using the Sales Navigator admin screens in your Salesforce org.
1. Tap the Import Icon ( ) on the menu bar. A screen like the one below will appear, showing you the standard and custom objects available for import.
2. Tap the object you would like to import.
3. On the next screen, you will see views of opportunity objects set up in your Salesforce org. Tap on a view to import. *You can import any number of views into Sales Navigator.
4. On the next screen, tap ‘Import’ and Sales Navigator will begin mapping addresses.
5. You will now see red delete buttons next to imported views. Tap ‘Back’ and tap ‘Done to continue to the map.
*Imported views will automatically create groups in Sales Navigator. Turn groups on or off to visualize specific contacts on the map.
