Hi Manish,

Quotas are used to set target sales goals for forecast users.  This can allow organizations to establish greater accountability for meeting sales expectations.

Hi Pooja,

Types of sandbox in Salesforce-

1. Developer - Does not copy your records but can store up to 200 MB of test records.
2. Developer Pro - Does not copy your records, but can store up to 1 GB of test records.
3. Partial - Includes a sampling of your actual data.
4. Full - Includes all of your actual data.

[Arun]

Hi Pooja,

A  sandbox is a copy of your production database’s configuration only, not the records. So they include all your objects, fields, user accounts, workflow processes, page layouts, and so on, but no data at all. The idea is that you can use these to test new ideas against the current state of your database but you won’t need to use any of your real records. Developer sandboxes are just a configured environment that’s set up the same way as your real database so that you can play around with it.

Hi Manish,

One of the most popular forms of cloud computing is software-as-a-service (SaaS). Here’s a simple SaaS definition: a software distribution model in which a service provider hosts applications for customers and makes them available to these customers via the internet.

SaaS is one of the three major categories of cloud services, along with infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS).

[Arun]

Hi Pooja,

Platform as a service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model in which a third-party provider delivers hardware and software tools -- usually those needed for application development -- to users over the internet. A PaaS provider hosts the hardware and software on its own infrastructure. As a result, PaaS frees developers from having to install in-house hardware and software to develop or run a new application.

Activities consist of Tasks and Events . When you go to edit them in Setup to view fields, they are subdivided into Task Fields and Event Fields. But then if you want to add a custom field, it is under Activity Custom Fields. Not the most intuitive. Basically Tasks and Events function like record types for Activities, except they are not set up as Record Types.

Hi Ratnesh,

Callback URL in salesforce is nothing but what Salesforce will callback with once the user authorizes access to his/her Salesforce account.
Callback URL is typically the URL that a user's browser is redirected to after successful authentication.

[Arun]

Hi Pooja ,
A SOQL query will always return a list of sobjects.

[Arun]

Hi Pooja,

1. Workflow is a point and click which doesn't need any coding. When you want to take action (email, task, field update or outbound message) for the same object or from Child to parent object, you can use Workflow rules.

2. Trigger: It's a programmatic approach and event-driven (insert, update, merge, delete). You can call it as advance version of Workflow.

*Trigger works across all the objects.
*You can create a new record through trigger which is not possible through workflow.

Hi Pooja,

Kanban View-

Display a Visual Summary with Kanban. The Kanban view displays a visual summary for a selection of records. By seeing all your records at once, you can more effectively monitor your work and keep deals moving forward.

The summary report is very much similar to the Tabular report but allowing users to group rows of data, create charts, and view subtotals etc. When you want to know the sum, average, highest, or lowest value of a numeric column (like Amount, Age, or Probability), summarize the column. Summaries calculate subtotals for every group in a report, as well as a grand total for all report data.

[Arun]

Hi Pooja,

Matrix Report – Matrix reports are very similar to Summary but they allow you to group by rows as well as columns to see different totals. Matrix reports aren’t commonly used unless you have to display lots of complex data.

[Arun]

Hi Pooja,

Tabular Report – The images that I have shown you in this post have all been from a tabular report. This is the simplest of reports and is suited to just showing lines of data and nothing else. If you just want to show data with no preference to seeing totals, calculations or groups of data then this is the report for you just to keep it simple. It is also best to use this report type if you are planning to use it to export data.

Hi Mohit,

Pseudocode -
Pseudocode is a detailed yet readable description of what a computer program or algorithm must do, expressed in a formally-styled natural language rather than in a programming language. Pseudocode is sometimes used as a detailed step in the process of developing a program. It allows designers or lead programmers to express the design in great detail and provides programmers a detailed template for the next step of writing code

Future method in salesforce: Future methods are used to run the process in a separate thread, at later time when system resources are available. We can use future methods for any operation we would like to run asynchronously in its own thread.

Custom tabs display custom object data or other web content embedded in the application.

Custom Object Tabs—For your custom object data. Custom Object Tabs display the data of your custom object in a user interface tab. Custom object tabs look and function just like standard tabs.
Web Tabs—For other web content Custom Web Tabs display any external Web-based application or Web page in a Salesforce tab. You can design Web tabs to include the sidebar or span across the entire page without the sidebar.
Visualforce Tabs—For Visualforce pages Visualforce Tabs display data from a Visualforce page. Visualforce tabs look and function just like standard tabs.
Flexible Page Tabs—For Flexible Pages, to include them in the Salesforce1 navigation menu.Flexible Page Tabs let you add Flexible Pages to the Salesforce1 navigation menu.
Also,

Lightning Page tabs– let you add Lightning Pages to the Salesforce1 navigation menu.
Subtab apps support only Web Tabs and Visualforce Tabs.

Hi Ratnesh,

An external ID is a custom field that has the “External ID” attribute, meaning that it contains unique record identifiers from a system outside of Salesforce. When you select this option, the import wizard will detect existing records in Salesforce that have the same external ID.

Hi Ratnesh,

Upsert: The upsert DML operation creates new records and updates sObject records within a single statement, using a specified field to determine the presence of existing objects, or the ID field if no field is specified.

There are 2 types of events in Salesforce:-
1.Component Events
2.Application Events

Component Events-
A component event is an event that is fired by a lightning component. A component event can either be handled by the component itself or it can be handled by any other component which is present in the hierarchy that receives the event.
Application Events-
An application event is generally like a broadcast message. Like if you send a broadcast, then all the receivers that are configured to accept that broadcast message receive that message. Similarly, an application event is fired by a component and all the other components that have the handler defined to receive that event are notified when the event is fired. Application Events are not bound by any hierarchy or relationship.

Use <aura:method> to define a method as part of a component's API. This enables you to directly call a method in a component’s client-side controller instead of firing and handling a component event. Using <aura:method> simplifies the code needed for a parent component to call a method on a child component that it contains

Hi Shubham,

Recursion occurs when same code is executed again and again. It can lead to infinite loop and which can result to governor limit sometime. Sometime it can also result in unexpected output or the error “maximum trigger depth exceeded”. So, we should write code in such a way that it does not result to recursion.

To avoid the situation of recursive call, we have to write code in such a way that the trigger will execute one time. To do so, we can create a class with a static Boolean variable with default value true. In the trigger, before executing the code keep a check that the variable is true or not.

The user interface in a Visualforce base can display dynamic content the value of which keeps changing based on user responses. But there are times when we need some content which should not change with the change in values of other components in the page. For example, an image file may be required to remain constant. Such content which cannot be changed in a page is known as a static resource.

Following are a few static resources in Salesforce −

1. Images
2. Javascript Files
3. Flash files
4. CSS files
