Install PDM

To install PDM in your Salesforce ORG:

  1. In the left-side menu, go to Installer > Install Applications.
  2. At Select a Connection, select the connection to the ORG where you want to install PDM.
  3. At the Plauti Data Management line, click Install.
    The Duplicate Check, Super Round Robin, Data Action Platform, and Record Validation apps are selected.
  4. Duplicate Check will be installed for the Lead, Contact and (Person) Account objects. If you want to install Duplicate Check for more objects, enter them under Search And Select More Objects.
  5. Click Next.
  6. In the confirmation window, review the installation information.
  7. If you do not have a license yet, request a free trial (optional). With the free trial you have access to all Premium features for 14 days. If you already have a license you will not see this option.

  8. Click Start to start the installation.

The installation of Plauti Data Management and all its apps will now start. You can follow the installation progress on the “Install Applications” page. Once the installation is finished, you will find the installation details in the left-side menu, at Install History.

Once PDM and its apps are installed:

  1. Open each app via the App Finder top left. 
  2. Go to the Setup tab of each app and click Getting Started at top right. There you will find a tailor-made introduction to the apps (in RV you will be forwarded to the knowledge base). 
    For an introduction to Super Round Robin, see SRR Important Concepts
     
  3. Then configure each app to suit your processes:

Repeat the steps “Connect to an ORG for using PDM” and “Install PDM” for each ORG where you want to use PDM and its apps. You can link your Sandboxes to your Production license to make use of all your license's features in Sandbox as well.

 

If you install PDM via the AppExchange, only the PDM app itself will be installed, not the Plauti apps it contains.
