External File Fields

Object API name: dryad__External_File__c

An External File is a receipt .pdf stored outside Salesforce, in Amazon S3, instead of as a Salesforce file. This storage option is currently switched off: all receipt .pdfs are stored as Salesforce files (see Content Version). The object is kept for organizations that used it in the past.

How to read the field tables: the Field column shows the label you see on screen, with the field's API name (the name used by admins, reports and integrations) underneath it. The Data Type column uses Salesforce's own terms. A type that starts with "Formula" is calculated automatically and can't be edited.

Topics referred to with "see" (for example, Eligibility Statuses or Defaults and Overrides) are explained in the Core Concepts article.
