Salesforce Hints#3: Supercharging Data Management with Salesforce Inspector Reloaded
(A must-have Chrome & Edge extension for Salesforce pros)
Salesforce professionals can find a wealth of time-saving tools to increase efficiency outside of the Salesforce AppExchange. Extensions can make a world of difference when it comes to everyday Salesforce tasks—all without ever having to leave your org. In this post, we’re going to take a look at Salesforce Inspector Reloaded, a Chrome and Edge extension that turbocharges data management and metadata discovery right in your Salesforce interface.
Not available on the AppExchange, Salesforce Inspector Reloaded is the next tool everyone needs to add to their toolbelt; administrators, developers, and analysts all alike.
What Is Salesforce Inspector Reloaded?
Salesforce Inspector Reloaded is a lightweight browser extension available for Chrome and Edge. It enhances your Salesforce workflow by giving you one-click access to:
• Data import/export without building full-fledged Data Loader jobs
• Metadata insights on fields, objects, and relationships right from record pages
• Direct record access and quick ID lookups
• Run SOQL/SOSL queries on the fly, with instant CSV downloads
By embedding these capabilities into the Salesforce UI, Inspector removes the need to switch to external tools or navigate deep into Setup and Developer Console.
Major Features of Salesforce Inspector Reloaded
Data Import & Export
• One-click data export: Generate CSVs from any object or custom query (SOQL) instantly.
• Bulk data import/upsert: Paste tabular data or CSV and auto-map fields for fast updates.
• Works on standard and custom objects, and respects your org’s sharing and field-level security settings
Metadata Exploration
• Field details at a glance: API names, data types, picklist values, and record counts—right on object pages.
• Relationship mapping: See parent-child links without opening Schema Builder or Setup.
• Retrieve metadata seamlessly, no deeper Setup navigation required.
Login As Functionality
• Instant “Login As” access: Find and act as any user in your org without multiple Setup clicks.
• Troubleshoot user issues: Validate permission sets, page layouts, and data visibility from the user’s perspective.
• Speeds up support & testing, especially in large orgs with hundreds or thousands of users.
User-Friendly Interface
Despite its deep functionality, Salesforce Inspector Reloaded remains unobtrusive:
• One-click launch from your browser toolbar.
• Collapsible sidebar panels that dock alongside record and list views.
• Data grids with sorting, filtering, and pagination for smooth navigation.
Advanced SOQL & SOSL Support
• Execute SOQL/SOSL queries directly in the sidebar, with syntax highlighting.
• Save frequently used queries for rapid troubleshooting.
• Export query results to CSV in one click for further analysis.
Show All Data
Inspector’s “Show All Data” feature lets you bypass list view filters and view every record in an object directly from the sidebar. With one click, you can load complete datasets—including records hidden by sharing rules or default view criteria—and scroll through paginated results in a sortable, filterable grid.
Check for Permissions
The “Check for Permissions” tool surfaces a user’s effective permissions on objects and fields without leaving the record page.
Simply select a user context (or enter a profile/permission set), and Inspector will highlight which CRUD and FLS (Field Level Security) rules apply, helping you validate access rights instantly.
Benefits of Salesforce Inspector Reloaded
• Time Savings: Eliminate tedious Setup navigation and Data Loader round-trips.
• Improved Accuracy: Reduce manual errors with integrated upsert and export tools.
• Enhanced Visibility: Access both data and metadata without leaving your current page.
• Stronger Support: Diagnose and resolve user-specific issues instantly using “Login As.”
• Developer-Friendly: Refine queries and inspect schema details on demand.
Conclusion
Salesforce Inspector Reloaded isn’t just another extension—it’s the Swiss Army knife of data management and metadata exploration for Salesforce professionals. Whether you’re updating records en masse, running ad-hoc queries, troubleshooting user issues, or simply exploring your org’s schema, this browser extension brings everything you need right into your Salesforce UI.
