Salesforce Package Consolidation salesforce-package-consolidation
To enhance user experience and simplify usage, existing packages are being compiled into a single, comprehensive package.
Package Retirement package-retirement
As a consequence of this consolidation, the current V1, V2_EXT, V2_Security, and all Reporting packages will be retired after August 2023. If you already have the V2 package installed, you must update it to the new consolidated version.
New Consolidated Package new-consolidated-package
The new consolidated V2 package incorporates all features and functionality from the previous packages, providing an improved user experience. This updated package enables more efficient marketing and sales performance tracking and allows for deeper insights into customer behavior.
There are two new fields to enhance your reporting capabilities:
- form_name: Now available in BT/BAT objects, this field enables users to create reports based on form names.
- user_touchpoint_id: This field enables users to create reports with unique user touchpoint counts (

You can file a ticket with Support for backfilling and reprocessing BT/BAT data to fill in Touchpoint ID and Form ID fields.
Will the fields in V1 and V2_EXT packages be available in the consolidated package?
Yes. The consolidated package contains the same fields in V1 with further breakdowns by objects and V2_EXT fields through Touchpoint fields.
Can reports that use V2_EXT fields be re-created in the consolidated package?
Yes. Follow the steps in the Required Actions section.
