Salesforce is a cloud-based software company. It provides a customer relationship management (CRM) service and enterprise applications (“apps”) focused on customer service, marketing automation, analytics, and application development.
The Salesforce integration with Workstation lets you easily find your Salesforce objects within Workstation.
Overall there are 12 apps within Salesforce. Each app has its own menu that is displayed to the user, according to the objects the user will need to work with and the relevant work processes. The main apps are- Service (Cases management), Sales (Sales processes), and Marketing (Marketing automation).
Integrating Salesforce with Workstation adds Salesforce objects to the desktop and mobile Workstation enterprise search so you can easily find what you need without leaving Workstation. Additionally, you can view your Salesforce list from the My CRM View widget on the Workstation homepage.

A report is a list of records that meet the criteria you define. It's displayed in Salesforce in rows and columns, and can be filtered, grouped, or displayed in a graphical chart.
Every report is stored in a folder. Folders can be public, hidden, or shared, and can be set to read-only or read/write. You control who has access to the contents of the folder based on roles and permissions.

A dashboard is a visual display of key metrics and trends for records in your organization. The relationship between a dashboard component and report is 1:1; for each dashboard component, there is a single underlying report. However, you can use the same report in multiple dashboard components on a single dashboard (e.g., use the same report in both a bar chart and pie chart). Multiple dashboard components can be shown together on a single dashboard page layout.
Like reports, dashboards are stored in folders, which control who has access.
