Custom Label in Salesforce - Admin Basic | Salesforce Funda

Custom labels enable developers to create multilingual applications by automatically presenting information (for example, help text or error messages) in a user’s native language. Custom labels are custom text values that can be accessed from Apex classes, Visualforce pages, Lightning pages, or Lightning components. The values can be translated into any language Salesforce supports.

Main advantage of using Custom Label offers flexibility in code and values being fetched dynamically in code can be changed anytime without need to change code itself.

You can create up to 5,000 custom labels for your organization, and they can be up to 1,000 characters in length. Custom labels from managed packages don’t count toward this limit.

Custom Metadata Types in Salesforce - Admin Basic | Salesforce Funda

Custom metadata is customizable, deployable, packageable, and upgradeable application metadata. First you create a custom metadata type, which defines the form of the application metadata. Then you build reusable functionality that determines the behavior based on metadata of that type.

Custom Metadata Types in Salesforce are similar to the custom objects. It has a suffix of “__mdt” instead of “__c” in the API namespace. Let’s say if you create a Custom Metadata type with name “Salesforce_funda”, the API name of the metadata type would appear as – “Salesforce_funda__mdt”

It allow you to build dynamic applications using Apex on the Salesforce Platform and also enables you to have more control over the execution of your code.
