This object is available in API version 32.0 and later. ## Supported SOAP Calls query() ## Supported REST HTTP Methods GET ## Limitations [SOQL Limitations](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_tooling.meta/api_tooling/reference_objects_soql_limits.htm "Some Tooling API objects have SOQL limitations. These limitations apply to any Metadata Catalog query, which applies to all Custom Metadata Types and Metadata Catalog entities, not only the ones explicitly listed.") [SOSL Limitations](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_tooling.meta/api_tooling/reference_objects_sosl_limits.htm "Two Tooling API objects, EntityDefinition and FieldDefinition, have some SOSL limitations. ExternalString and MetadataComponentDependency (Beta) don’t support SOSL searches.") ## Fields | Field | Details | | --- | --- | | DeveloperName | Type string Properties Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort Description The developer’s internal name for the compact layout (for example, CL\_c) used in the API. | | DurableId | Type string Properties Filter, Group, Sort Description Unique identifier for the field. Always retrieve this value before using it, as the value isn’t guaranteed to stay the same from one release to the next. To simplify queries, use this field. | | EntityDefinition | Type EntityDefinition Properties Filter, Group, Sort Description Required. Available starting with version 32.0. The entity definition for the object associated with this CompactLayoutInfo. | | EntityDefinitionId | Type string Properties Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort Description Required. ID of the record associated with this CompactLayoutInfo. The record’s object type is in EntityDefinition. | | FullName | Type string Properties Filter, Group, Sort Description The unique name used as the compact layout identifier for API access. The fullName can contain only underscores and alphanumeric characters. It must be unique, begin with a letter, not include spaces, not end with an underscore, and not contain two consecutive underscores. Query this field only if the query result contains no more than one record. Otherwise, an error is returned. If more than one record exists, use multiple queries to retrieve the records. This limit protects performance. | | IsDefault | Type boolean Properties Defaulted on create, Filter, Group, Sort Description If true, this compact layout is the default for the associated object. | | Items | Type [QueryResult](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_tooling.meta/api_tooling/tooling_api_objects_queryresult.htm "Represents the results of a query.

Available in Tooling API version 34.0 and later.") Properties Filter, Group, Sort Description A foreign key field pointing to CompactLayoutItemsInfo. Because this field represents a relationship, use only in subqueries. | | Label | Type string Properties Filter, Group, Nillable, Sort Description The compact layout’s label. | | Metadata | Type mns: [CompactLayout](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_tooling.meta/api_tooling/tooling_api_objects_compactlayout.htm "Represents the values that define a compact page layout.") Properties Create, Nillable, Update Description Metadata that defines compact layouts. Query this field only if the query result contains no more than one record. Otherwise, an error is returned.

This limit protects performance. | | NamespacePrefix | Type string Properties Filter, Group, Sort Description The namespace prefix associated with this object. Each Developer Edition organization that creates a managed package has a unique namespace prefix. Limit: 15 characters. You can refer to a component in a managed package by using the namespacePrefix\_\_componentName notation. The namespace prefix can have one of the following values: - In Developer Edition organizations, the namespace prefix is set to the namespace prefix of the organization for all objects that support it. There is an exception if an object is in an installed managed package. In that case, the object has the namespace prefix of the installed managed package. This field’s value is the namespace prefix of the Developer Edition organization of the package developer. - In organizations that are not Developer Edition organizations, NamespacePrefix is only set for objects that are part of an installed managed package. There is no namespace prefix for all other objects. | ![Note](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_tooling.meta/api_tooling/images/icon_note.png) #### Note CompactLayoutInfo is exposed in Tooling API to user profiles with the View Setup and Configuration permission.
