FEATURES (BASIC USE)
QUERY BUILDER
By clicking on one of the Orgs, Cloudingo Studio will automa cally create a new query based on selected fields.
Uncheck or check different fields to alter the query on-the-fly:

Or right-click an account org and generate a new query. There is a 1000 row limit based on selected fields:

Once you have created the query, execute it by clicking the green arrow bu on in the task bar, or pushing F5 on your
keyboard. The results will display in a grid just below your query (ies). You’ll no ce that every query generated includes

Product Documenta on 4
a semicolon at the end. The semicolon is a Cloudingo Studio requirement for queries that are more than one statement
long. This requirement helps our parsing engine be er understand which queries you want to run individually:

Once you have executed a new Salesforce query, you op onally export it in four different formats (Excel, CSV, HTML, or
Text) using the Export bu on located between the query window and grid results:

Some mes queries will be wri en that contain a parsing error that Salesforce cannot interpret. When that happens,
you’ll see errors displayed on the Messages tab in the grid results window as shown below. This will give you a general
idea of what the problem is:

A useful feature you will find built into Cloudingo Studio is the ability to edit org data directly from your grid results. To
edit grid data, simply double-click on a data cell in your grid and enter a new value. Once complete, simply click away
from that cell’s row and your data will be automa cally saved to your org:

SOQL+ (ADVANCED FEATURES)
Cloudingo Studio has been ou i ed with a new extension of Salesforce’s SOQL query language, named SOQL+. With
SOQL+, the team at Symphonic Source added slick new enhancements to enable faster and more powerful queries
against your Salesforce Org. Just ensure your query language se ng is set to SOQL+ in the language selector, and
you’re good to go:

Some of the SOQL+ features include:

ENHANCED INTELLISENSE
Whether you’re crea ng a unique SOQL+ query or just a basic select, Intellisense will assist you in crea ng the query
faster than ever by displaying the available objects to query from and the func ons you can perform on them:

SELECT ALL QUERIES
By typing in “SELECT * FROM Account”, or “SELECT * FROM” any org, you can automa cally pull back all the fields
associated with that org without having to type them all out one-by-one!

INSERT, UPDATE, AND DELETE STATEMENTS

We’ve created a sweet transla on engine that allows you to run SQL type queries in the Cloudingo Studio editor.
Cloudingo Studio converts them into API calls so whether you just want to do a quick update or clear out records by a
specific field type, Cloudingo Studio has you covered. Here are a few examples:

Use an UPDATE statement to change the name field on an account in your org. Update statements should, when
referencing fields, surround the values with single quotes as shown below:
UPDATE Account SET Name = 'Updated Names' WHERE Id = '001G000000r50nhIAA';

A standard INSERT statement follows the same general rule when referencing field values. The breakdown for an insert
statement is shown with an example below:
INSERT INTO Account (Name) VALUES ('New Account Field');

Below is a standard DELETE statement where Cloudingo Studio removes one of the account records from the
connected org. Field references using single quotes s ll apply:
DELETE FROM Account WHERE Name = 'New Account Field';

LOOPING, AND VARIABLES:

Along with SOQL+, we’ve also added in some custom looping, and variable func onality. You can now create custom
variables, assign variables to other variables (Scope is also taken into considera on. A variable created within a ‘while’
loop has higher priority than one created in the general query statement), and increment/decrement variables using
the ‘+=’ or ‘-=’ statements:

The following example will create a new grid query result on each loop itera on, and will con nue to loop while var1
is less than var2, and is incremented on each loop by adding the value of var3 to var1:

var var1 = 1;
var var2 = 10;
var var3 = 1;

while(var1 < var2)

{
SELECT * FROM Account LIMIT 1000;

var1 += var3;
}

‘while’ loops can have up to 6 different types of value comparisons:

Note equal: !=
Greater than or equal to: >=

Less than or equal to: <=
Equal to: =
Greater than: >
Less than: <

All changes using SOQL+ statements will show results in the “Messages” tab on the results pane:

ROW COUNT USING SELECT COUNT
We’ve also created a way to get the number of rows on a specified org by simply typing “SELECT COUNT() FROM
SomeOrg;”. A er execu ng that query you’ll see the results in the Messages area on the results pane:

SAVING/OPENING SOQL QUERY FILES (ADVANCED USE)

Cloudingo Studio provides you a way to save and open previous SOQL/SOQL+ files directly to your file system. Once
ready to save a new query, simply go to the File menu, and click Save:

Product Documenta on 10
A save dialog popup will appear allowing you to specify the file. Once saved, the tab will be renamed and the asterisk
will disappear:

To open a SOQL/SOQL+ file you have previously saved, simply go back to the File menu, and select “Open”:

An open file dialog will appear. Simply navigate to the file you want to open, select it, and click the Open bu on on the
dialog box. The saved query will open in a new tab.
