How is "chatter" stored in salesforce?

Hi,

Previously, our Salesforce projects were setup to contain a "Chatter" section, which behaves similarly to Notes. I was wondering how do I determine how / where the "Chatter" section is stored. I went to the Object Manager and couldn't find an object containing the work "Chatter".

Sincerely,

Jason

Hi Jason,

Its not available in the object manager.

Refer the below link to enable chatter in lightning experience.

If this information helps, please mark it as best answer.

Thanks!!

Thanks Ankaiah, The reason I’m asking is that I’m developing a Power BI report of projects and tasks. One of the requirements is to show the chatter of each products. I had initially used “Salesforce Reports” as the data source, but it has limitation of 2,000 records, so I changed to “Salesforce Objects”, which allow me to import the raw objects of Salesforce. I was wondering what name(s) would the Chatter objects be if I need to import them to Power BI? (normally I would go to the Object Manager to figure this out, but couldn’t with Chatter). Sincerely, Jason
