Reverse Auction Defined. You probably think you have a good understanding of how most auctions are done. For example, you may have bid on a product you found on eBay. If another person wants the same item you want, she may bid higher than you to get it. Of course, if you still want the item bad enough, you may bid higher yet.
Custom Data Types: Ability to Create them in Setup. I would like to create my own data type in SalesForce. When we create a New Field, we have to choose from the built in options for example, Date, AutoNum, Checkbox, Picklists, text, lookup, etc.
Data type. In computer science and computer programming, a data type or simply type is a classification of data which tells the compiler or interpreter how the programmer intends to use the data. Most programming languages support various types of data, for example: real, integer or Boolean. A Data type provides a set of values from which an expression (i.e. variable, function...) may take its values.
