The Salesforce Connector enables QlikView and Qlik Sense to efficiently load data into an app from a Salesforce.com data set. You must have a Salesforce.com account with current access credentials to access data. Once a connection to a Salesforce.com account has been created, data can be selected from tables available to the user’s account and then loaded into an app where it can be used in visualizations.

Geolocation is composed of two primitive data types: longitude and latitude. The Salesforce Connector supports Geolocation by displaying each of its primitive types in separate fields.
