How to “Clone object” (Layouts and Validation Rules) in Salesforce in few clicks?

ABC Company is using Salesforce to manage its Sales, Service Cloud activities. They have lot of Standard and custom objects with 300+ or 400+ fields.

ABC Company is expanding its business and want to setup a new Salesforce org which is replica of existing salesforce org. In order to replicate, they need to perform multiple activities like:

1. Clone custom fields of all the Standard Objects
2. Clone all Custom Object & all of its custom fields
3. Clone all the validation rules
4. Clone all the Page-layouts
5. Clone all the record types

As both the orgs are not inter-linked to each other, Alex (an administrator of ABC Company), will have to manually copy each and every entities and complete his action.

For eg: In case, if a developer has to clone an object with 400 fields, developer would have to open each and every field, validation rules, layouts, record types for an object and clone them to new org.

These type of work requests would take much more effort and time, but with our Salesforce Appexchange Bulk Object Field Creator (BOFC) App user can clone multiple objects within “Current Salesforce org” or from any “External Salesforce org” in few clicks.

Benefits of using BOFC Application for Cloning Objects:

5. Clone all the validation rules of Source objects to new/existing target object
