What is Batch Apex in Salesforce?

Batch Apex: Batch Apex allows you to define a single job that can be broken up into manageable chunks, whereas every chunk can be processed separately.

In the Batch Apex it will fetch all the records on which you want to perform the field update and divide them into a list of 200 records and on every 200 records operation is performed separately.

This would help us to execute on more than 10,000 records as it won’t perform an operation on all the records in a single transaction instead it dividing them into Number of subtasks where each subtask may contain the records up to 4000.

Example:

If you need to make a field update of every record of account object in your organization, then we have governing limits that would restrict us from achieving the above task.

Reason: In a single transaction we can process only 10,000 records. Now in the above case if we have more than 10,000 records in the organization then we can not perform this field update.

What Are The Types of SOQL Statements in SalesForce?

Salesforce Object Query Language is used to query that records from the database.com based on the requirement.

There are 2 types of SOQL Statements:

Static SOQL
Dynamic SOQL

Static SOQL:

The Static SOQL Statement is written in [] (Array Brackets.

These statements are similar to IINQ (Ion Integrated Query.

Example:

1 2	String search for =’Jones’; Contact[] contacts=« ______ »;

Dynamic SOQL:

It is used to refer to the creation of a SOQL string at run time with Apex code.

Dynamic SOQL enables you to create a more flexible application.
To create a Dynamic SOQL query at run time use Database.Query(. method, in one of the following ways.
Return a single sObjects when the query returns a single record.
sObjects s = Database. Query(String_limit_l.;
Return a list of sObjects when the query returns more than a single record.

Example 1:- Queries

1 2	String myTestString = ‘TestName’; List List= Database.Query(SELECT Id FROM MyCustomObject__c WHERE Name = :myTestString.;

SOSL Statements In Salesforce Apex?

SOSL statement evaluates the list of sObjects, where each list contains the search results for a particular sobject type, The result lists are always returned in the same order as they were specified in the query.

If a SOSL query does not return any records for a specified sObject type, the search results include an empty list for that sObject.

Example: You can return a list of accounts, contacts, opportunities, and leads that begin with the phase map.

1	List < list < subject >> search list = [ find ‘map*’ In ALL FIELDS RETURNING Account (ID, Name., contact, opportunity, lead ];

Note:

The syntax of the class on Apex differs from the syntax of the FIND clause in the SOAP API.
In Apex, the value of the FIND cause is demarcated with single quotes.

Example:1

FIND ‘map*’ IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING account (Id, Name], Contact, Opportunity, Lead. In the Force.com API, the value of the FIND Clause is demarcated with braces.

FIND {map*} IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING account [Id,name], contact ,opportunity,lead;

From search list , you can create arrays for each object returned.

Account [ ] accounts = (( list < accounts > . search list [0] .;

Contact [ ] contacts = [( list . search list [0]. ;

Opportunity [ ] opportunities = ((list < opportunity> . search list [2]. ;

Lead [ ] leads = (( list < lead> . search list [3].;

As things are time taking client wants a report wherein a single screen, without doing anything, can see SALE PER COUNTRY? And in another report, sales per country per mobile brand.

This can be viewed in the Summary Report.

As a client wants to motivate sales reps to make more efforts, they are going to analyze the sale done by every sales report and reward them. They want a report where they can see country wise sell AlSO IN the SAME REPORT, sales rep wise sell.So they can also see in which country how the sale is & they want this analysis to be separate but in the SAME REPORT.

This can be viewed in the Matrix Report.

The client wants to see data from mobile sell DB and Home Appliance sell DB together to take the decision of next financial year planning. Also, the client wants to group the sell, discount related columns grouped together?

They can see all the required data by using the Joined Report.

When two objects are connected with each other using r/s, then on secondary record the relationship will be shown using field. On the primary record, the relationship will be shown using a related list.

Lookup R/S:

It is used to connect 2 or more objects with each other as per the business requirement.
It works on standard objects and custom objects.
It is so simple to type.
It helps to loosely connect 2 objects.
It is used whenever we don’t have much strong dependency between 2 objects.

[Related Page: Field Dependency in Salesforce]

There is only 2 MDR allowed per object how many custom levels it can have?

It allows three custom levels per object.

(Eg: company → Workers → Sub workers..

There is an object called Employee Details, and another object called Salary Info, think from a business perspective. If you want to combine the 2 objects, what will you choose in the relationship?

This can be seen with Master-Detail Relationship.

Assume that you require PC’s in bulk and have given an order to ‘XYZ’ company & they found a bulk supplier and asked to process, what would be the relationship between the company and the supplier?

This can be seen with LookUp Relationship.

Business Requirement – Assume there is finance dept, there are many users and they have access to an object called finance, In that object, there is a field called “Bonus”, and in the dept 10 users, only one should not see the field?

Scenario: Creation of Permission set for the users, other than the user who should not have the Bonus field access.

Description:

Object: profit & loss.

Users: John & Philip

Condition::

OWD: Private.

Profile of John: Finance profile.

Finance Profile : CRED : Yes | VA : No | MA : No

Permission set of john : N/A

Role : N/A.

Can John see records of Philip?

No, John cannot see the records of Philip.

Condition:: OWD: PRO(Public Read-only..

Can John see records of Philip?

Yes, now John can see the records of the Philip.

(Hint: Does he have min access to work on the object & OWD= PRO..

Condition:: OWD: PRW(Public Read Write..

Can John edit records of Philip?

Yes, John can edit the records of Philip.

(Hint: Does he have min access to work on the object & OWD= PRW..

Can John delete records of Philip?

No, now John cannot delete the records of Philip.

Profile: Sales Profile.

Users: Stephen, Philip.

User in another profile: Celia.

Condition:: Object Setting in finance profile : CRED=Y | VA=N | MA=N.

In the above scenario can Stephen see the record of Celia or not?

No.

Can Stephen see the record of Philip?

No.

Condition :: Object Setting in finance profile : CRED=Y | VA=Y | MA=N.

Can Stephen see the record of Celia?

Yes.

Can Stephen delete the record Philip & Celia?

No, he cannot delete anyone’s records.

Can two users have the same profile? Can two profiles be assigned to the same user?

Profiles determine the level of access a user can have in a Salesforce org.

As far as the first part of the question is concerned, Yes. One profile can be assigned to any number of users. Take the example of a Sales or Service team in a company. The entire team will be assigned the same profile. The admin can create one profile: Sales Profile, which will have access to the Leads, Opportunities, Campaigns, Contacts and other objects deemed necessary by the company.

In this way, many users can be assigned the same profile. In case the team lead or manager need access to additional records/ objects then it can be done by assigning permission sets only for those users.

Answering the second part of the question, each user can only be assigned 1 profile.

What are Governor Limits in Salesforce?

In Salesforce, it is the Governor Limits which controls how much data or how many records you can store in the shared databases. Why? Because Salesforce is based on the concept of multi-tenant architecture. In simpler words, Salesforce uses a single database to store the data of multiple clients/ customers. The below image will help you relate to this concept.

To make sure no single client monopolizes the shared resources, Salesforce introduced the concept of Governor Limits which is strictly enforced by the Apex run-time engine.

Governor Limits are a Salesforce developer’s biggest challenge. That is because if the Apex code ever exceeds the limit, the expected governor issues a run-time exception that cannot be handled. Hence as a Salesforce developer, you have to be very careful while developing your application.

Different Governor Limits in Salesforce are:

Per-Transaction Apex Limits
Force.com Platform Apex Limits
Static Apex Limits
Size-Specific Apex Limits
Miscellaneous Apex Limits
Email Limits
Push Notification Limits

What is a sandbox org? What are the different types of sandboxes in Salesforce?

A sandbox is a copy of the production environment/ org, used for testing and development purposes. It’s useful because it allows development on Apex programming without disturbing the production environment.

When can you use it?
You can use it when you want to test a newly developed Force.com application or Visualforce page. You can develop and test it in the Sandbox org instead of doing it directly in production.

This way, you can develop the application without any hassle and then migrate the metadata and data (if applicable. to the production environment. Doing this in a non-production environment allows developers to freely test and experiment applications end to end.

Types of Sandboxes are:

Developer
Developer Pro
Partial Copy
Full

Can you edit an apex trigger/ apex class in production environment? Can you edit a Visualforce page in production environment?

No, it is not possible to edit apex classes and triggers directly in production environment.

It needs to be done first in Developer edition or testing org or in Sandbox org. Then, to deploy it in production, a user with Author Apex permission must deploy the triggers and classes using deployment tools.

However, Visualforce pages can be created and edited in both sandbox and in production.

Only if the page has to do something unique (different values., it would have to be developed via Sandbox.

What is a bucket field in reports?

A bucket field lets you group related records together by ranges and segments, without the use of complex formulas and custom fields. Bucketing can thus be used to group, filter, or arrange report data. When you create a bucket field, you need to define multiple categories (buckets. that are used to group report values.

The advantage is that earlier, we had to create custom fields to group or segment certain data.

What are dynamic dashboards? Can dynamic dashboards be scheduled?

Before we understand dynamic dashboards, let us first understand static dashboards. Static dashboards are the basic dashboard types that will be visible to any user who has made a report out of his data. An example of this is what a Sales manager/ Marketing manager would be able to see on his Salesforce org. In other words, a normal dashboard shows data only from a single user’s perspective. Now comes the concept of dynamic dashboards.

Dynamic dashboards are used to display information which is tailored to a specific user. Let us consider the same example as above. In case the Sales manager wants to view the report generated specific to only one of his team members, then he can use dynamic dashboards.

You can use dynamic dashboards when you want to show user-specific data of a particular user, such as their personal quotas and sales, or number of case closures, or leads converted etc.
You can also use a normal/ static dashboard when you want to show regional or organization-wide data to a set of users, such as a particular region’s sales number, or a particular support team’s performance on case closures.

As far as the second part of the question is concerned, no we cannot schedule a dynamic dashboard. That is because whenever we open the dashboard, it will show the data generated in real-time.

What are the different types of reports available in Salesforce? Can we mass delete reports in Salesforce?

Salesforce Report Types

1. Tabular reports	Simple Excel type tables which provide a list of items with the grand total
2. Summary reports	Similar to Tabular reports, but also have functionality of grouping rows, viewing subtotals & creating charts
3. Matrix reports	Two-dimensional reports which allow you to group records both by row and column
4. Joined reports	Multiple blocks showing data from different reports based on same or different report types

Another important point to note here is that, only Summary reports and Matrix reports can be fed as data source for dashboards. Tabular and Joined reports cannot be used as data source for dashboards.

Can we mass delete reports in Salesforce? Of Course we can mass delete reports in Salesforce. The option to mass delete reports can be found under Data Management in Setup.

What are the different types of object relations in salesforce? How can you create them?

No list of Salesforce interview questions is complete without involving relationships between objects in Salesforce. Relationships in Salesforce can be used to establish links between two or more objects.

The different types of object relationships in Salesforce are:

Master-Detail Relationship (1:n.:- It is a parent-child relationship in which the master object controls the behavior of the dependent child object. It is a 1:n relationship, in which there can be only one parent, but many children. The main concept you need to be know is that, being the controlling object, the master field cannot be empty. If a record/ field in master object is deleted, the corresponding fields in the dependent object are also deleted. This is called a cascade delete. Dependent fields will inherit the owner, sharing and security settings from its master. You can define master-detail relationships between two custom objects, or between a custom object and standard object as long as the standard object is the master in the relationship.
Lookup Relationship (1:n.:-
Lookup relationships are used when you want to create a link between two objects, but without the dependency on the parent object. Similar to Master-Detail relationship, you can think of this as a form of parent-child relationship where there is only one parent, but many children i.e. 1:n relationship.The difference here is that despite being controlling field, deleting a record will not result in automatic deletion of the lookup field in the child object. Thus the records in the child object will not be affected and there is no cascade delete here. Neither will the child fields inherit the owner, sharing or security settings of its parent.

Junction Relationship (Many-To-Many.:-
This kind of a relationship can exist when there is a need to create two master-detail relationships. Two master-detail relationships can be created by linking 3 custom objects. Here, two objects will be master objects and the third object will be dependent on both

What happens to detail record when a master record is deleted? What happens to child record when a parent record is deleted?

In a Master-Detail relationship, when a master record is deleted, the detail record is deleted automatically (Cascade delete..

In a Lookup relationship, even if the parent record is deleted, the child record will not be deleted.

Can you have a roll up summary field in case of Master-Detail relationship?

Yes. You can have a roll-up summary in case of a master-detail relationship. But not in case of a lookup relationship.

A roll-up summary field is used to display a value in a master record based on the values of a set of fields in a detail record. The detail record must be related to the master through a master-detail relationship.

There are 4 calculations that you can do using roll-up summary field. You can count the number of detail records related to a master record. Or, you can calculate the sum, minimum value, or maximum value of a field in the detail records.

Explain the term “Data Skew” in Salesforce.

“Data skew” is a condition which you will encounter when working for a big client where there are over 10,000 records. When one single user owns that many records we call that condition ‘ownership data skew’.

When such users perform updates, performance issues will be encountered because of “data skew”. This happens when a single user/ members of a single role own most of the records for a particular object.

Explain skinny table. What are the considerations for Skinny Table?

In Salesforce, skinny tables are used to access frequently used fields and to avoid joins. This largely improves performance. Skinny tables are highly effective, so much so that even when the source tables are modified, skinny tables will be in sync with source tables.

Considerations for skinny tables:

Skinny tables can contain a maximum of 100 columns.
Skinny tables cannot contain fields from other objects.
For full sandboxes: Skinny tables are copied to your Full sandbox organizations, as of the Summer ’15 release.

Which fields are automatically Indexed in Salesforce?

Only the following fields are automatically indexed in Salesforce:

Primary keys (Id, Name and Owner fields..
Foreign keys (lookup or master-detail relationship fields..
Audit dates (such as SystemModStamp..
Custom fields marked as an External ID or a unique field.

How to handle comma within a field while uploading using Data Loader?

In a Data Loader .CSV, if there is a comma in field content, you will have to enclose the contents within double quotation marks: ” “.

For which criteria in workflow “time dependent workflow action” cannot be created?

Time dependent workflow action cannot be create for: “created, and every time it’s edited”.

What are the types of custom settings in Salesforce? What is the advantage of using custom settings?

There are two types of custom settings in Salesforce: List Custom Settings and Hierarchy Custom Settings.

List Custom Settings are a type of custom settings that provides a reusable set of static data that can be accessed across your organization irrespective of user/ profile.
Hierarchy Custom Settings are another type of custom settings that uses built-in hierarchical logic for “personalizing” settings for specific profiles or users.

The advantage of using custom settings is that it allows developers to create a custom set of access rules for various users and profiles.

How many active assignment rules can you have in a lead/ case?

Only one rule can be active at a time.

What are custom labels in Salesforce? What is the character limit of custom label?

Custom labels are custom text values that can be accessed from Apex classes or Visualforce pages. The values here can be translated into any language supported by Salesforce.
Their benefit is that they enable developers to create multilingual applications which automatically presents information in a user’s native language.

You can create up to 5,000 custom labels for your organization, and they can be up to 1,000 characters in length.

What are Workflows in Salesforce? What are the types of Workflow?

Workflow in Salesforce is for automating the standard internal processes and procedures and thereby save time across the organization. The main container for a set of workflow instructions is a Workflow Rule. It is possible to sum these instructions as an if/then statement.

There are two components of the workflow rule i.e. criteria and the action. The criteria are the ‘if’ part of the if/then statement and the action is the ‘then’ part of the if/then statement.

For Example, Send an email alert to the concerned manager, when a contract is about to expire. The workflow rule is run when the criteria are met.

There are two types of workflow in Salesforce:

Immediate Actions: It fires immediately when the workflow criteria are met. The associated actions email alerts/field updates also take place with immediate effect.
Time-dependent Action: When the criteria are met, the associated actions take place after a certain duration of time. This time is based on a value set.

What is Object Relationship in Salesforce? What are Salesforce Relations?

In Salesforce, a related list allows us to connect standard and custom object records. This is the purpose served by an object relationship. Various cases can be connected with specific customers through this. One can create a custom relationship too.

The object relations in Salesforce include:

Many to many
Master-Detail
Lookup
Hierarchical
Indirect Lookup
External Lookup

Given below is a diagram to explain Object Relationships:

What is Force.com Platform?

Force.com is a Platform As A Service (PAAS. and simplifies the development and deployment of cloud-based applications and websites. The developers make use of the Integrated Development Environment or IDE to create apps and websites. Later, these are deployed in the multi-tenant servers of Force.com.

What are the different types of reports that are available in Salesforce?

The different types of Salesforce Reports include:

Tabular Report: It offers the fastest and simplest way to view your data. They have an ordered set of fields arranged in columns. They cannot create groups of data.
Matrix Report: Here the grouping is done based on both rows and columns.
Summary Report: Here the groups appear based on columns only.
Joined Report: In this, two or more reports are joined in a single report.

What is Junction Object? What is it used for?

Junction objects are needed to build a many-to-many relationship among Salesforce objects.

For Example, In a typical recruitment scenario, there are possibilities of creating many positions for candidates and at the same time, a candidate can apply for many positions.

The third object required for creating a data model is termed as a junction object and in this example, it can be cited as “job application”. Here, you need to use a lookup field for both position and candidate object on the junction object – which is a job application.

What is an Audit Trail?

Administrators need to make changes in the organizational setup. Audit Trail history helps you to track the recent 20 changes that are made in setup, by multiple administrators.

What is a Dashboard in Salesforce?

A dashboard as shown in the above figure summarizes and portrays your Salesforce data in a graphical layout. This offers insights at-a-glance, for any device and for any targeted audience. In this figure, it throws light on the Sales reps of your organization.

Moreover, a dashboard visualizes your business scenario and allows you to make decisions based on the real-time data gathered from reports. A Dashboard has a page layout and displays multiple dashboard components. Multiple reports appear side-by-side on the same dashboard.

What is Sandbox org in Salesforce? What are the different types of Sandbox in Salesforce?

Sandboxes are for copies of the production organization. It is possible to make such multiple copies of the same environment that serve various purposes like development, testing and training without any need for compromise of data in the production org.

As sandboxes are isolated from the production environment, operations performed in the sandbox have no impact on the production org.

There are four types of Salesforce Sandboxes as shown below:

Developer Sandbox
Developer Pro Sandbox
Partial Data Sandbox
Full Sandbox

What are the options for deploying from Sandbox to Production org? What is an Outbound Change Set?

Various methods are adopted for deploying a sandbox to production. The main method is using the Change Sets. A Change Set enables to create and test a new object in the sandbox and then send that to the production org. It contains information on org and not on any data such as records.

The other methods to deploy sandbox to production org include Force.com IDE, unmanaged packages as well as ANT migration tools.

When sending customizations from current org to another org the Outbound Change Set is used. Once received by the receiving org it is called Inbound Change Set.

What are Bucket Fields in Salesforce?

Bucket Fields categorize records in Salesforce reports without any need for a formula or a custom field. They exist only in the reports. When a bucket column is created then multiple categories of group report values.

What is Custom Label in Salesforce? How many Custom Labels can you define and of what size?

Custom Labels enable developers to create multi-lingual applications. It automatically presents information as information or messages, by using the user’s native language. These are custom text values that accessible from Apex classes, Lightning components, and Visualforce pages.

A minimum number of 5000 custom labels can be created for each organization. The size is about 1000 characters.

What is Data Skew in Salesforce?

The full form of SOQL is Standard Object Query Language. SOQL evaluates a condition in an enterprise when you require to work with say 10,000 records.

A single user owns a huge number of records and we call that as “ownership data skew” and it causes performance issues while updating in Salesforce.

What is the difference between a Role and Profile in Salesforce?

As mentioned in one of the previous Salesforce interview questions, a profile will ultimately control access to which records a user has in a Salesforce org. No user can work on the Salesforce org without being assigned a profile. The Profile is therefore mandatory for every user.

Role however is not mandatory for every user. The primary function of the Role/ Role hierarchy is that it allows higher level users in hierarchy get access to records owned by lower level users in the hierarchy. An example of that is Sales Managers getting access to records owned by Sales Reps while their peers do not get access to it.

What are the examples of non-deterministic Force.com formula fields?

Before I mention some of the examples, let me give you an introduction to deterministic and non-deterministic formula fields. Formula fields whose value will be static are referred to as deterministic fields. Whereas, formula fields whose value will be changed dynamically or whose values will have to be calculated on the fly, they are referred to as non-deterministic formula fields. A classic example of that is a formula returning the current date and time.

Some examples of non-deterministic fields in Force.com are:

Lookup fields
Formula fields whose reference spans over other entities
Fields having dynamic date functions like:- TODAY(. or NOW(.

Why do we need to write test classes? How to identify if a class is a test class?

Software developers from around the world will unanimously agree that writing code in test classes makes debugging more efficient. Why? That is because test classes help in creating robust and error-free code be it Apex or any other programming language. Since Unit tests are powerful in their own right, Salesforce requires you to write test classes in Apex code.

Why are they so powerful? Because test classes and test methods verify whether a particular piece of code is working properly or not. If that piece of code fails, then developers/ testers can accurately locate the test class having the faulty bug.

Test classes can be determined easily because every test class will be annotated with @isTest keyword. In fact, if we do not annotate a test class with @isTest, then it cannot be defined as a test class. Similarly, any method within a class which has the keyword testMethod, is a test method.

What is minimum test coverage required for trigger to deploy?

In Salesforce, if you want to deploy your code to production, then you must make sure that at least 75% of your Apex code is covered by unit tests. And all these tests must complete successfully.

What are the different ways of deployment in Salesforce?

You can deploy code in Salesforce using:

Change Sets
Eclipse with Force.com IDE
Force.com Migration Tool – ANT/Java based
Salesforce Package

What is an external ID in Salesforce? Which all field data types can be used as external IDs?

An external ID is a custom field which can be used as a unique identifier in a record. External IDs are mainly used while importing records/ data. When importing records, one among the many fields in those records need to be marked as an external ID (unique identifier..

An important point to note is that only custom fields can be used as External IDs. The fields that can be marked as external IDs are: Text, Number, E-Mail and Auto-Number.

How many callouts to external service can be made in a single Apex transaction?

Governor limits will restrict a single Apex transaction to make a maximum of 100 callouts to an HTTP request or an API call.

How can you expose an Apex class as a REST WebService in Salesforce?

You can expose your Apex class and methods so that external applications can access your code and your application through the REST architecture. This is done by defining your Apex class with the @RestResource annotation to expose it as a REST resource. You can then use global classes and a WebService callback method.

Invoking a custom Apex REST Web service method always uses system context. Consequently, the current user’s credentials are not used, and any user who has access to these methods can use their full power, regardless of permissions, field-level security, or sharing rules.

Developers who expose methods using the Apex REST annotations should therefore take care that they are not inadvertently exposing any sensitive data. Look at the below piece of code for instance:-

global class AccountPlan {

webservice String area;

webservice String region;

//Define an object in apex that is exposed in apex web service

global class Plan {

webservice String name;

webservice Integer planNumber;

webservice Date planningPeriod;

webservice Id planId;

}

webservice static Plan createAccountPlan(Plan vPlan. {

//A plan maps to the Account object in salesforce.com.

//So need to map the Plan class object to Account standard object

Account acct = new Account(.;

acct.Name = vPlan.name;

acct.AccountNumber = String.valueOf(vPlan.planNumber.;

insert acct;

vPlan.planId=acct.Id;

return vPlan;

} }

What is the difference between a standard controller and a custom controller?

Standard controller in Apex, inherits all the standard object properties and standard button functionality directly. It contains the same functionality and logic that are used for standard Salesforce pages.

Custom controller is an Apex class that implements all of the logic for a page without leveraging a standard controller. Custom Controllers are associated with Visualforce pages through the controller attribute.

How can we implement pagination in Visualforce?

To control the number of records displayed on each page, we use pagination. By default, a list controller returns 20 records on the page. To customize it, we can use a controller extension to set the pageSize. Take a look at the sample code below:-

<apex:page standardController=”Account” recordSetvar=”accounts”>

<apex:pageBlock title=”Viewing Accounts”>

<apex:form id=”theForm”>

<apex:pageBlockSection >

<apex:dataList var=”a” value=”{!accounts}” type=”1″>

{!a.name}

</apex:dataList>

</apex:pageBlockSection>

<apex:panelGrid columns=”2″>

<apex:commandLink action=”{!previous}”>Previous</apex:commandlink>

<apex:commandLink action=”{!next}”>Next</apex:commandlink>

</apex:panelGrid>

</apex:form>

</apex:pageBlock>

</apex:page>

How can you call a controller method from JavaScript?

To call a controller method (Apex function. from JavaScript, you need to use actionfunction.

Look at the below piece of code to understand how a controller method is called using actionfunction.

function JSmethodCallFromAnyAction(.

{

callfromJS(.;

}

</apex:page>

. How to get the UserID of all the currently logged in users using Apex code?

You can get the ID’s of all the currently logged in users by using this global function: UserInfo.getUserId(..

How many records can a select query return? How many records can a SOSL query return?

The Governor Limits enforces the following:-

Maximum number of records that can be retrieved by SOQL command: 50,000.

Maximum number of records that can be retrieved by SOSL command: 2,000.

What is an attribute tag? What is the syntax for including them?

An attribute tag is a definition of an attribute of a custom component and it can only be a child of a component tag.

Note that you cannot define attributes with names like id or rendered. These attributes are automatically created for all custom component definitions. The below piece of code shows the syntax for including them:

<apex:component>

<apex:attribute name=”myValue” description=”This is the value for the component.” type=”String” required=”true”/>

<apex:attribute name=”borderColor” description=”This is color for the border.” type=”String” required=”true”/>

<apex:outputText value=”{!myValue}”/>

</h1>

</apex:component>

What are the three types of bindings used in Visualforce? What does each refer to?

There are three types of bindings used in Salesforce:-

Data bindings, which refer to the data set in the controller
Action bindings, which refer to action methods in the controller
Component bindings, which refer to other Visualforce components.

Data bindings and Action bindings are the most common and they will be used in every Visualforce page.

What are the different types of collections in Apex? What are maps in Apex?

Collections are the type of variables which can be used to store multiple number of records (data..

It is useful because Governor Limits restrict the number of records you can retrieve per transaction. Hence, collections can be used to store multiple records in a single variable defined as type collection and by retrieving data in the form of collections, Governor Limits will be in check. Collections are similar to how arrays work.

There are 3 collection types in Salesforce:

Lists
Maps
Sets

Maps are used to store data in the form of key-value pairs, where each unique key maps to a single value.
Syntax: Map<String, String> country_city = new Map<String, String>(.;

How can you embed a Visualflow in a Visualforce page?

Find the flow’s unique name.
1. From Setup, enter Flows in the Quick Find box, then select Flows.
2. Click the name of the flow.
3. Copy the unique name of the flow.
From Setup, enter Visualforce Pages in the Quick Find box, then select Visualforce Pages.
Define a new Visualforce page, or open an existing one.
Add the <flow:interview> component somewhere between the <apex:page> tags.
Set the name attribute to the unique name of the flow.

For example:

</apex:page>

<flow:interview name=”flowuniquename”/>

<apex:page>

Click Save.
Restrict which users can access the Visualforce page.

1. Click Visualforce Pages.
2. Click Security next to your Visualforce page.
3. Move all the appropriate profiles from Available Profiles to Enabled Profiles by using the ‘add’ and ‘remove’ buttons.
4. Click Save.

Add the Visualforce page to your Force.com app by using a custom button, link, or Visualforce tab.

What is the use of “@future” annotation?

Future annotations are used to identify and execute methods asynchronously. If the method is annotated with “@future”, then it will be executed only when Salesforce has the available resources.

For example, you can use it while making an asynchronous web service callout to an external service. Whereas without using the annotation, the web service callout is made from the same thread that is executing the Apex code, and no additional processing will occur until that callout is complete (synchronous processing..

What are the different methods of batch Apex class?

Database.Batchable interface contains three methods that must be implemented:

Start method:
global (Database.QueryLocator | Iterable<sObject>. start(Database.BatchableContext bc. {}
Execute method:
global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, list.{}
Finish method:
global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC.{}

What is a Visualforce component?

A Visualforce Component is either a predefined component (standard from component library. or a custom component that determines the user interface behavior. For example, if you want to send the text captured from the Visualforce page to an object in Salesforce, then you need to make use of Visualforce components. Example: <apex:detail>

. What is Trigger.new?

Triger.new is a command which returns the list of records that have been added recently to the sObjects. To be more precise, those records will be returned which are yet to be saved to the database. Note that this sObject list is only available in insert and update triggers, and the records can only be modified in before triggers.

But just for your information, Trigger.old returns a list of the old versions of the sObject records. Note that this sObject list is only available in update and delete triggers.

What all data types can a set store?

Sets can have any of the following data types:

Primitive types
Collections
sObjects
User-defined types
Built-in Apex types

What is an sObject type?

An sObject is any object that can be stored in the Force.com platform database. Apex allows the use of generic sObject abstract type to represent any object.

For example, Vehicle is a generic type and Car, Motor Bike all are concrete types of Vehicle.
In SFDC, sObject is generic and Account, Opportunity, CustomObject__c are its concrete type.

What is an Apex transaction?

An Apex transaction represents a set of operations that are executed as a single unit. The operations here include the DML operations which are responsible for querying records. All the DML operations in a transaction either complete successfully, or if an error occurs even in saving a single record, then the entire transaction is rolled back.

What is the difference between public and global class in Apex?

Global class is accessible across the Salesforce instance irrespective of namespaces.
Whereas, public classes are accessible only in the corresponding namespaces.

What are getter methods and setter methods?

Get (getter. method is used to pass values from the controller to the VF page.
Whereas, the set (setter. method is used to set the value back to controller variable.

What is Salesforce?

Salesforce is the most effective Customer Relationship Management (CRM. product that is delivered to subscribers as a cost-effective software-as-a-service (SaaS..

What is a custom object in Salesforce?

In Salesforce, custom objects refer specifically to database tables that store data related to your company in Salesforce.com.

What does a custom object permit the user to do?

Once the custom object is defined, the subscriber can perform the following tasks: create custom fields, relate the custom object to other records, track events and tasks, build page layouts, create a custom tab for the custom object, analyze custom object data, create dashboards and reports, and share custom tabs, custom apps, custom objects, and various other related components.

Can you name three types of object relationships available in Salesforce?

There are three main relationship types in Salesforce…

A lookup relationship can be used to link two objects together. It is the most basic type of relationship that creates a child-parent relationship between two objects.
A master-detail relationship can also be used to link two objects together. A master-detail relationship creates a tight relationship between the parent and the child. The child record inherits security of the parent, and if the parent is deleted, all associated child records will also be deleted. Master-detail relationships created some extra functionality such as roll-up summary fields that allow you to calculate data on the parent from the children.
A many-to-many relationship (Also referred to as a junction object., allows you to create a relationship between two objects that need to model a many-to-many relationship. These are created with an object that has two master-detail relationships to two parent objects.

What is the use of writing sharing rules? Can you use sharing rules to restrict data access?

Sharing rules are written to give edit access (public read and write. or public read only access to certain individuals in Salesforce org. A classic example is when:- only your managers or superiors need to be given extra credentials to your records in objects as compared to your peers.

By default, all users in your organization will have organization-wide-default sharing settings of either Public Read Only or Private.
To give access to more records, which users do not own, we write sharing rules.
Example: Sharing rules are used to extend sharing access to users in public groups or roles. Hence, sharing rules are not as strict as organization-wide default settings. They allow greater access for those users.

As far as the second part of the question is concerned, the answer is no. We cannot use sharing rules to restrict data access. It is only used for allowing greater access to records.

A workflow in Salesforce is basically a container or business logic engine that automates certain actions based on particular criteria. If the criteria are met, the actions get executed. When they do not, the record will get saved but no action will be executed.

There are two types of actions in a workflow in Salesforce:

Immediate Actions: Actions that get executed immediately when the record is created or edited
Time-dependent Actions: Actions that get executed after a certain duration of time, such as 10 days before a records’ close date. After a certain time period, the workflow rules in Salesforce will re-evaluate the record just to make sure that the rule criteria are met. If the record meets the criteria, the aligned actions will be executed.

What is a Master–Detail Relationship?

A Master–Detail relationship is basically a parent–child relationship, in which ‘Master’ represents the parent and other details represent the child. If the parent is deleted, then the child also gets deleted. Roll-up summary fields can only be created on Master records, which will calculate the SUM, AVG, and MIN of the child records.

What happens to the Detail (Child. record when a Master (Parent. record is deleted?

In a Master–Detail relationship, when a Master record is deleted, the Detail record also gets deleted, automatically.

On the other hand, in a Lookup relationship, the Child record will not be deleted, even if the Parent record is deleted.

Can you have a Roll-up Summary field in the case of a Master–Detail Relationship?

Yes, we can have a roll-up summary in the case of a Master-Detail relationship but not in the case of a Lookup relationship. This is because a roll-up summary field is used to display a value in the Master record based on the values of a set of fields in the Detail record.

What is an sObject type?

An sObject is any object that can be stored in the Force.com platform database. Apex allows the use of a generic sObject abstract type to represent any object.

Why use Batch Apex instead of Normal Apex?

There are various reasons why Batch Apex is better than Normal Apex.

A Normal Apex uses 100 records per cycle to execute SOQL queries. Whereas, a Batch Apex does the same in 200 records per cycle. So, it is very fast when the execution of SOQL queries is considered.
A Normal Apex can retrieve 50,000 SOQL queries but, in Batch Apex, 50,000,000 SOQL queries can be retrieved.
A Normal Apex has a heap size of 6 MB; whereas, a Batch Apex has a heap size of 12 MB.
When executing bulk records, Normal Apex classes are more vulnerable to encountering errors as compared to Batch Apex. The latter is normally error-less.

How can you call an Apex Class in Salesforce?

Day-to-day report of sales from Sales Managers
Sales figures on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis depending on organizations’ needs
Details of the repeat customers who serve as the key factor for the growth of any organization

What is the junction object?

Junction objects help associate two objects. They are custom objects in Salesforce that allow building a master-detail relationship established between two different data objects. It uses a many-to-many relationship to link many junction objects to several records.

Example: If a candidate applies for a job, then the job profile can be connected to many applicants, and the candidate can be linked to several other jobs as well. Here, the junction object will be the ‘job profile.’

What is the difference between a role and a profile in Salesforce?

Role

A role helps manage and regulate the Salesforce access that affects reports. Also, it allows controlling user visibility over data within an organization.
