Salesforce blue dot and row selection

Some Salesforce mapping, import, and export tables show a small blue dot at the far left of each row.

What the blue dot means

The blue dot is a Salesforce provider indicator. It helps visually identify that the row has Salesforce CRM context, but it is not a checkbox and it does not mean the row is selected.

How to select a row

Use the rounded checkbox beside the row name to select the record.

If the blue dot is visible but the checkbox is empty, the row is not selected. A row is selected only when the checkbox shows the selected state.

When this matters

This distinction matters in workflows where you choose specific rows before continuing:

  1. Import Salesforce Accounts.
  2. Import Salesforce Contacts.
  3. Export DOE accounts to Salesforce.
  4. Export DOE stakeholders to Salesforce.
  5. Confirm or adjust proposed mappings.

Before you continue an import, export, or mapping action, scan the checkbox column rather than the blue-dot column.
