“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Exporting field schema information from Salesforce natively is cumbersome because standard export tools focus on record data, not metadata structure, and Schema Builder lacks bulk export capabilities.
Here’s how to extract complete Case object field schema and export it directly to CSV format for documentation and analysis.
Export field schema efficiently with Coefficient
Salesforce’s Schema Builder provides visual representation but can’t bulk export field schema documentation. Standard export tools miss the metadata structure you need for comprehensive schema documentation.
Coefficient combines Custom SOQL querying with powerful export functionality, letting you extract complete field schema information and export directly to CSV or spreadsheet formats.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect to Salesforce and access Custom SOQL.
Open your spreadsheet and launch Coefficient. Connect to your Salesforce org and select “Custom SOQL Query” from the import options. This gives you direct access to metadata objects for comprehensive schema extraction.
Step 2. Query comprehensive field schema metadata.
Use this detailed schema extraction query:
This returns complete field schema information including data types, constraints, and properties for all Case object fields.
Step 3. Apply filters for specific record types.
Use Coefficient’s filtering capabilities to focus on specific record types or field properties. You can filter by field type, custom vs standard fields, or other metadata properties to create targeted schema exports.
Step 4. Export to CSV and schedule updates.
Export your schema data directly to CSV format or your preferred spreadsheet application. Set up automated exports using Coefficient’s scheduling features to maintain current schema documentation that updates as your Salesforce configuration evolves.

This method provides complete field schema documentation that’s easily shareable and maintainable. Your CSV exports stay current with automated refresh capabilities, giving you reliable schema reference materials for your team. Start exporting your field schema today.
