Salesforce Mobile

Salesforce provides several mobile applications to access Salesforce data on your mobile device. These applications allow you to view, edit, and create records. You can also perform administrative tasks such as manage users, view organization information, and so on.

Salesforce also provides you with mobile SDK (Software Development Kit) which allows you to create your own mobile application and access the Salesforce data. You can access this data using REST (Representational State Transfer) or SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) API.

Salesforce1 Mobile Application

Salesforce1 Mobile Application allows you to view, edit and create records. You can also manage your activities, view dashboards and reports and user chatter on your mobile. Salesforce1 supports many standard objects and list views, all of your organization’s custom objects, the integration of other mobile apps, and many of your organization’s Salesforce customizations, including Visualforce tabs and pages.
