Snap Settings

Field	Field Type	Description
Label*	String	Specify the name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your Pipeline. Default Value: Salesforce Batch Create Example: Salesforce_Batch_Create
Service Version*	String/Expression/Suggestion	Specify the version number associated with the Salesforce service that you want to connect to. Alternatively, click the Suggestion icon to fetch the list of versions and select the desired version. Default Value: 52.0 Example: 41.0
Batch Size*	Integer	Specify the number of records batched per request. If the input has 100,000 records, and the batch size is set to 200, the total number of requests would be 500. The maximum allowed batch size is 200. Default Value: 200 Example: 200
Auto-generated Reference ID	Checkbox	Each record in the input document should contain a reference Id field, which should have a unique value so that each item in the result can be correlated to an input record. Select this checkbox to enable the Snap to automatically generate and overwrite the reference Id values. Default Value: Selected
Nested Records	Checkbox	Select this checkbox if input documents are expected to have nested records. If input documents are not nested and this property is selected, the Snap will function as expected with small performance penalty. If input documents are nested, but this property is not selected, the Snap will fail to correlate results to the corresponding input documents and will throw an error. Default Value: Not selected
Pass Through	Checkbox	Select this checkbox to pass the input document the output view under the key 'original'. If you deselect this checkbox, the input document will not be passed and there is no "original" key in the output document. Default Value: Selected
Snap Execution	Dropdown list	Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are: Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime. Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data. Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

The field labels for this Snap are updated to title case. If you have existing Pipelines that include the field names in the error messages, you must update those Pipelines to use the new field labels.
