Salesforce1 users can view and search records that are stored in external systems with Lightning
Connect, so they can seamlessly interact with all relevant data. This feature is available in the
Salesforce1 mobile browser app and version 6.0 or later of the Salesforce1 downloadable app for
iOS devices.
For example, some of your data may be in an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Salesforce
represents that data in external objects and accesses the data in real time via Web service callouts
to the external data source. External objects are read only both in Salesforce1 and in the full Salesforce
site.
As long as the following conditions are true, external objects are automatically included in the
Recent section of the Salesforce1 navigation menu as part of the Smart Search Items element. Users
may need to tap More to see these items. In addition, when these conditions are true, related lists for external objects appear in Salesforce1 when users view the parents of those external objects.
• As with custom objects, the external objects must be deployed and assigned to tabs that the users can access, and object permissions
must be granted via profiles or permission sets.
• The external objects' associated external data sources must have the High Data Volume checkbox deselected.
• For the Salesforce1 downloadable app for iOS devices, the external data sources must have the Include in Salesforce
