A data category selection represents a data category that classifies an article. This object is available in API version 19.0 and later.
This object can be used to associate an article with data categories from a data category group or to query the category selections for an article.
The object name is variable and has a syntax of Article Type __DataCategorySelection, where Article Type is the Object
Name
for the article type associated with the article. For example,
Offer__DataCategorySelection
represents the association between the
Offer
article type and its data categories. Every article is associated with an article type.
Supported Calls create() , delete() , describeSObjects() , query() , getDeleted() , retrieve()

Usage
Every article in Salesforce Knowledge can be categorized. A data category selection represents a category that has been selected to classify an article. You can use the Article Type __DataCategorySelection object to query and manage article categorization in your organization. Client applications can create a categorization for an article with a Draft status. They can also delete and query article categorizations.
Note: When using
Article Type
__DataCategorySelection to classify an article, you can't select both a category (for example
USA) and one of its descendants (California) or ascendant categories (North America). In this case, only the first category is selected.
Answer communities use QuestionDataCategorySelection to classify questions.
SOQL Sample
The following SOQL query returns the data category selections used to classify the article whose ID is ka0D000000005ApIAI .
SELECT Id,DataCategoryName, ParentId
FROM Offer__DataCategorySelection WHERE ParentId='ka0D000000005ApIAI'
This clause only returns category unique names. To retrieve category labels use the following clause:
SELECT Id,toLabel(DataCategoryName), ParentId
FROM Offer__DataCategorySelection WHERE ParentId='ka0D000000005ApIAI'
17
Salesforce Knowledge SOAP API Article Type__Feed
Tip: You can also use relationship queries to retrieve categorizations from an article type.
Article Type
__Feed
Represents a single feed item in the feed displayed on the detail page for an article. This object is available in API version 20.0 and later.
An article feed shows recent changes to an article record for any fields that are tracked in feeds, and posts and comments about the article. It is a useful way to stay up-to-date with changes made to articles in Salesforce Knowledge. This object is available in API version
20.0 and later. The object name is variable and uses a
Article Type
__Feed syntax, where
Article Type
is the
Object
Name for the article type associated with the article. For example, Offer__Feed represents a feed item on an article based on the
Offer article type.

Nillable, Sort
Description
The content of Article Type __Feed. Required when Type is TextPost . Optional when Type is ContentPost or LinkPost . This field is the message that appears in the feed.
Type int
Properties
Filter, Group, Sort
Description
The number of FeedComments associated with this feed item.
Tip: In a feed that supports pre-moderation,
CommentCount
isn’t updated until a comment is published. For example, say you comment on a post that already has one published comment and your comment triggers moderation. Now there are two comments on the post, but the count says there's only one. In a moderated feed, your comment isn’t counted until it's approved by an admin or a person with
“CanApproveFeedPostAndComment” or “ModifyAllData” permission.
This has implications for how you retrieve feed comments. In a moderated feed, rather than retrieving comments by looping through CommentCount , go through pagination until end of comments is returned.

Description
The number assigned to a version of an article. This field is available in API version
24.0 and later.
Usage
Use this object to query, retrieve, or search for articles across all article types depending on their version. You can update draft master articles. Additionally, you can delete articles that are not drafts. Client applications can use KnowledgeArticleVersion with describeDataCategoryGroups() and describeDataCategoryGroupStructures() to return the category groups and the category structure associated with Salesforce Knowledge.
Alternatively, client applications can use the article type API Name followed by __kav to query, retrieve, or search for articles for a specific article type.
To access an article independent of its version, use the KnowledgeArticle object.
SOQL Samples
The following SOQL clause uses KnowledgeArticleVersion to query all published articles from all article types complying with the classification specified in the WITH DATA CATEGORY clause:
SELECT Title, Summary
FROM KnowledgeArticleVersion
WHERE PublishStatus='Online'
AND Language = 'en_US'
WITH DATA CATEGORY Geography__c ABOVE_OR_BELOW europe__c AND Product__c BELOW All__c
32
Salesforce Knowledge SOAP API KnowledgeArticleVersionHistory
The following SOQL clause uses the article type
API Name
to limit the query to all draft articles from the
Offer__kav
article type:
SELECT Id, Title
FROM Offer__kav
WHERE PublishStatus='Draft'
AND Language = 'en_US'
WITH DATA CATEGORY Geography__c AT (france__c,usa__c) AND Product__c ABOVE dsl__c
The following SOQL clause uses KnowledgeArticleVersion to query the Ids of all archived versions of a particular article:
SELECT Id
FROM KnowledgeArticleVersion
WHERE PublishStatus='Archived'
AND IsLatestVersion=false
AND KnowledgeArticleId='kA1D00000001PQ6KAM'
SOQL and SOSL with KnowledgeArticleVersion
• Always filter on a single value of PublishStatus unless the query filters on one or more primary key IDs. To support security, only users with the “Manage Articles” permission see articles whose PublishStatus value is Draft .
• Archived article versions are stored in the articletype_kav object. To query archived article versions, specify the article
Id
and set
IsLatestVersion='0' .
• Always filter on a single value of
Language
. However, in SOQL, you can filter on more than one
Language
if there is a filter on
Id or KnowledgeArticleId .
KnowledgeArticleVersionHistory
Enables read-only access to the full history of an article. This object is available in API version 25.0 and later.
Supported Calls describeSObjects()
, getDeleted()
, getUpdated()
, query()
, retrieve()
Special Access Rules
This object respects field, entity, and record-level security. You must have at least “Read” permission on the article type or the field to access its history. For data category security, Salesforce determines access based on the categorization of the online version of an article.
If there is no online version, then security is applied based on the archived version, followed by the security of the draft version.

Usage
This object provides a heterogeneous list of different object types and consists of recently viewed records or records that were recently referenced (a related record was viewed). A record is considered viewed when the user sees the details associated with it, but not when the user sees it in a list with other records. Use this object to programmatically construct a list of recently viewed items specific to the current user, for example, on a custom user interface or for search auto-complete options. You can also retrieve a filtered list of records by object type ( Type ). The RecentlyViewed data is periodically truncated down to 200 records per object.
Use this query in your code to retrieve a list of all the records that were recently viewed. The results are ordered from most to least recent.
SELECT Id, Name
FROM RecentlyViewed
WHERE LastViewedDate !=null
ORDER BY LastViewedDate DESC
Use this query to retrieve data that was either viewed or referenced, but only for a limited set of objects.
SELECT Id, Name
FROM RecentlyViewed
WHERE Type IN ('Account', 'Contact', 'Plan__c')
ORDER BY LastViewedDate DESC
This query retrieves a list of all recently viewed contacts with contact-specific fields, such as the contact’s account name, and the custom website field. Records are ordered from most to least recent.
SELECT Account.Name, Title, Email, Phone, Website__c
FROM Contact
WHERE LastViewedDate != NULL

Type int
Properties
Filter, Group, Sort
Description
The number of FeedComments associated with this feed item.
Tip: In a feed that supports pre-moderation,
CommentCount
isn’t updated until a comment is published. For example, say you comment on a post that already has one published comment and your comment triggers moderation. Now there are two comments on the post, but the count says there's only one. In a moderated feed, your comment isn’t counted until it's approved by an admin or a person with
“CanApproveFeedPostAndComment” or “ModifyAllData” permission.
This has implications for how you retrieve feed comments. In a moderated feed, rather than retrieving comments by looping through CommentCount , go through pagination until end of comments is returned.
