Approval process is a force.com business logic engine that allows you to specify a sequence of steps that are required to approve a new record. Each step allows one or more designated approvers to accept or reject the record.
Answer:-
• Approval Request: An approval request is an email notifying the recipient that a record was submitted for approvaland his or her approvalis requested.
• ApprovalSteps: Approvalsteps assign approval requests to various users and define the chain of approvalfor a particular approvalprocess.
– Each approvalstep specifies the attributes a record must have to advance to that approval step, the user who can approve requests for those records, and whether to allow the delegate of the approver to approve the requests.
– The first approval step in a process also specifies the action to take if a record does not advance to that step.
– Subsequent steps in the process also allow you to specify what happens if an approver rejects the request.
• Assigned Approver: The assigned approver is the user responsible for approving an approval request.
• Initial Submission Actions: are the actions that occur when a user first submits a record for approval.
– For example, an initial submission action can lock the record so that no users can edit it during the approvalprocess.
– Initial submission actions can also include any approval actions such as assigning a task, sending an email, or updating a field.
• FinalApprovalActions: are the actions that occur when allapprovalrequests for a record are
approved.
– Finalapprovalactions can include any approval actions such as emailalerts,field updates, tasks, or outbound messages.
– For example, a final approval action can change the status to “Approved” and send
a notification email.
• Final Rejection Actions: are the actions that occur when allapprovalrequests for a record are rejected.
– Final rejection actions can include any approval actions such as emailalerts,field updates,tasks, or outbound messages.
– For example,a final rejection action can change the status to “Rejected”, send a notification email,and unlock the record so that users can edit it before resubmitting.
• Record Locking: is the process of preventing users from editing a record regardless of field-level security or sharing settings.
– Records that are pending approvalare automatically locked by Salesforce.
– Users must have the “Modify AllData” permission to edit locked records.
– The Initial Submission Actions,FinalApprovalActions,and Final Rejection Actions related lists contain a record lock action that you can edit if necessary
• Outbound Messages:send the information you specify to an endpoint you designate.

Use Field-LevelSecurity (rather than creating multiple page layouts) to enforce data security Users view data relevant to their job function Troubleshooting Tools Field accessibility views Setup |Administration Setup |Security Controls |Field Accessibility
Notes:
• Field LevelSecurity is not available in PE
• Field-levelsecurity cannot be used to make a field required. This is done from the Page Layout
• Field access settings can be defined using both field-levelsecurity and page layouts. However,the most restrictive field access setting of the two willalways apply.
For example,if a field is required on the page layout,but read-only in the field-levelsecurity settings, the field willbe read-only.
• Hiding a field from a user using FLS also hides that field from list views,search results,and reports.
Answer:-

• You can set the hours when users can log in and the IP addresses from which they can log in. If a user logs in before the restricted hours,the system willend the user’s session when the restricted hours begin.
Two Options for Restricting Access via IP Ranges Option 1:Add Trusted IP Ranges for your entire org Option 2:Add Trusted IP Ranges on a Profile by Profile basis
Answer:-
User record possesses key information about a user and each has its own unique username. Other properties of User records are below
• User logs in with username and password
• Users can be active or inactive;an active user uses a license
• Users are associated with a Profile
• Users are usually associated with a Role
Answer:-
Record owner is he user (or queue for Cases and Leads) who controls or has rights to that particular data record.
An Owner has the following specialprivileges with the below assumptions:
• View and edit capabilities
• Transfer capability – change ownership
• Deletion capabilities
Important assumption:
Object permissions enabled
The Account Owner,Opportunity Owners and Case Owners may or may not be the same user.
Answer:-
OWD Defines the baseline levelof access to data records for allusers in the Organization (not
including records owned by the user or inherited via role hierarchy) Used to restrict access to data
Access levels to
Private
Public Read/Write
Public Read/Write/Transfer
Public FullAccess
Public Read Only
Answer:-
Role:
Controls the levelof visibility that users have to an organization’s data An user may be associated to one role
Role Hierarchy:
Controls data visibility
Controls record rollup – forecasting and reporting
Users inherit the specialprivileges of data owned by or shared with users below them in the hierarchy
Not necessarily the company’s organization chart
Notes:
• If using Customizable Forecasting,there is a separate forecast role hierarchy.
• EE can create Account,Contact,Opportunity and Case Sharing Rules. PE can ONLY create Account and Contact Sharing Rules.
• Assuming no sharing rules have been created,users in the same role cannot access one another’s records.
Example:Org Wide Default settings for opportunities are private. Creating a role and adding two users to that role does not allow those users access to one another’s opportunities.
• “Grant Access Using Hierarchies” allows you to disable the default sharing access granted by your role and territory hierarchies. This option can be changed for custom objects that do not have their organization-wide default sharing setting set to Controlled by Parent.
Answer:-
Access is defined when creating a role
Levelof access to Opportunities associated to Accounts owned by the role
Levelof access to Contacts associated to Accounts owned by the Role
Levelof access to Cases associated to Accounts owned by the role
Levelof access options depend on OWD
Notes:
• You can create up to 500 roles for your organization
• Every user must be assigned to a role,or their data willnot display in opportunity reports,forecast roll-ups,and other displays based on roles
• Allusers that require visibility to the entire organization should belong to the highest levelin the hierarchy
• It is not necessary to create individualroles for each title at your company,rather you want to define a hierarchy of roles to controlaccess of information entered by users in lower levelroles
• When you change a user’s role,any relevant sharing rules are evaluated to add or remove access as necessary
Answer:-
Sharing rules are automated rules that grant access to groups of users These are exceptions to Organization Wide Defaults Irrelevant for Public Read/Write organizations Levels of Access that can be granted are
• Read Only
• Read/Write
Notes:
• Sharing rules should be used when a user or group of users needs access to records not granted them by either the role hierarchy setup or the organization wide default settings.
• Sharing rules open up access whereas organization wide defaults restrict access.
• You can use sharing rules to grant wider access to data. You cannot restrict access below your organization-wide default levels.
• Sharing rules apply to allnew and existing records owned by the specified role or group members.
• Sharing rules apply to both active and inactive users.
• When you change the access levels for a sharing rule,allexisting records are automatically updated to reflect the new access levels.
• When you delete a sharing rule,the sharing access created by that rule is automatically removed.
• When you transfer records from one user to another,the sharing rules are reevaluated to add or remove access to the transferred records as necessary.
• When you modify which users are in a group or role,the sharing rules are reevaluated to add or remove access as necessary.
• For contact,opportunity and case sharing rules,if the role or group members do not have access to the account associated with the shared contact,opportunity or case the rule automatically gives them access to view the account as well.
• Managers in the role hierarchy are automatically granted the same access that users below them in the hierarchy have from a sharing rule.
• You can edit the access levels for any sharing rule. You cannot change the specified groups or roles for the rule.
Answer:-
Sharing rules present in salesforce are as below.
Account Sharing Rules:
• Based on who owns the account
• Set default sharing access for accounts and their associated cases,contacts,contracts,and opportunities
Contact Sharing Rules:
• Based on who owns the contact (must be associated with an account)
• Set default sharing access for individualcontacts and their associated accounts
• Cannot use with:Territory Management and B2I (Person Account) enabled orgs Opportunity Sharing Rules (EE/UE):
• Based on who owns the opportunity
• Set default sharing access for individualopportunities and their associated accounts
Case Sharing Rules (EE/UE):
• Based on who owns the case
• Set default sharing access for individualcases and associated accounts
Lead Sharing Rules (EE/UE):
• Based on who owns the lead
• Set default sharing access for individualleads
Custom Object Sharing Rules (EE/UE):
• Based on who owns the custom object
• Set default sharing access for individualcustom object records
Answer:-
• Account Org-Wide Default must be set to at least “Public Read Only” in order to set the Contact Org-Wide Default to “Public Read/Write”.
• To share ALL contacts in the system with a group of users or a specific role, create a sharing rule that uses the “AllInternalUsers” (or “Entire Organization”) public group as the owned by option.
• Use “Roles and Subordinates” over “Roles” where possible to minimize the number of sharing rules.
Answer:-
Public group is a grouping of:
• Users
• Public Groups (nesting)
• Roles
• Roles and Subordinates
• Mixture of any of these elements
Used in Sharing Rules – for simplification (when more than a few roles need to be shared to) Also used when defining access to Folders and List Views
For example, if a new user is assigned a role that belongs to an existing public group, that user will be
automatically added to the public group
Answer:-
Manual sharing is granting record access, one-off basis
Owner,anyone above owner in role hierarchy and administrator can manually share records Available on Contacts,Leads,Cases,Accounts and Opportunity records and Custom Objects Like sharing rules, irrelevant for Public Read/Write organizations
Answer:-
Folders are used for organizing emailtemplates,documents,reports and dashboards Access is defined – Read or Read/Write
Access is explicit – does NOT rollup through role hierarchy
Notes:
• You can modify the contents of a folder if the folder access levelis set to Read/Write.
• Only users with the “Manage Public Documents” or “Manage Public Templates” can delete or change a Read Only folder.
• The Documents tab does NOT contain version control capabilities
• To search documents, users must use Documents search. The sidebar search does NOT search Documents,Solutions,Products,and Reports but does search Assets and Custom Objects The Create New Folder link will only be visible to users with the “Manage Public Documents” permission
• The size limit for documents uploaded is 5MB. The size limit for document filenames is 255 characters including the file extension
Answer:-

When configuring Debug Logs,you cannot choose a Salesforce to Salesforce Connection User from the User Lookup,but there is a workaround to achieve this.
To begin capturing Debug Logs for a Connection User open the following URL in your browser:
https://XXX.salesforce.com/p/setup/layout/AddApexDebugLogUser?retURL=%2Fsetup%2Fui%2FlistApexTraces.apexp&UserLookupInput_lkid=YYYYYYYYYYYYYY&UserLookupInput=Connection%20User
Replace XXX with your salesforce instance,UserLookupInput_lkid is the ID of the Connection User and UserLookupInput is the User name. You can find the user ID of the connection user,by inspecting the Created by Id for a record created by this user. (eg. via eclipse or Force.com explorer)
Answer:-
Even after deactivation of workflow,its action will be active in queue.
Answer:-
If a workflow has any pending time dependent action, then we cannot delete the workflow.
Answer:-
Two ways to achieve this:
1. Make criteria false for all those records.
2. Navigate to “Set up | Monitoring | Time Based Workflow”, search for scheduled actions and remove from queue.
Answer:-
“Send Email” action is not available while creating workflow on task.
Answer:-
The reason for this is that fields such as Close Date are actually date/time fields. When a date is loaded without specifying the time, the time is defaulted to 00:00 – midnight. When another user is in a time zone which is behind the current user’s time zone, the date will show on the previous day. For example:
20 August 2008 00:00 in Paris is 19 August 2008 23:00 in London Similar issues can arise when daylight savings time begins or ends. Two simple solutions to this are:
1) Specify a time as wellas a date when loading dates using the Data Loader. Or
2) Switch your PC’s time zone to Hawaiian time before starting up the Data Loader.

Answer:-
External ID
This is a field that usually references an ID from another (external) system. For instance, if the customer has an Oracle Financials system that they will be linking with salesforce.com, it may be easier for them to be able to refer to the Oracle ID of account records from within salesforce. So they would create an external ID in salesforce.com and they would load the Oracle ID into that field for each account. They can then refer to that ID field, rather than the salesforce.com id.
Additionally,if you have an external ID field, the field becomes searchable in the sidebar search. You also can use the upsert API call with the extenalID to refer to records.
You can have multiple records with the same external ID (though it is not recommended, as it will defeat the purpose of the externalid).
External ID available for Text, Number and Email field types External ID is used in upsert operations.
• If external id is absent or not matched then insert happens.
• If external id matched once then record willbe updated.
• If external id is matched multiple times then error occurs.
Unique ID field
This is a setting for the field that will prevent you from using the same value in multiple records for the unique field. So if I create a 5 character text field and make it unique, and I create a record with the value “12345″ it will not be able to create another record with that same value in the unique field. If I try to do so,I willget an error saying that the value is already in use.
Often,ExternalIds are set with the unique property so that the IDs willbe unique to each record.
Answer:-
Modify AllData:Create,edit,and delete allorganization data,regardless of sharing settings.
Modify All: Give Read,Add,Delete permission to selected Object,Create permission is not included in Modify All permission.
Answer:-
A permission set is a collection of settings and permissions that give users access to various tool
and functions. The settings and permissions in permission sets are also found in profiles, but permission sets extend users’functionalaccess without changing their profiles.
For example, to give users access to a custom object, create a permission set, enable the required
permissions for the object, and assign the permission set to the users. You never have to change
profiles, or create a profile for a single use case. While users can have only one profile, they can
have multiple permission sets.
Permission sets include settings for:
• Assigned apps
• Object settings,which include:
• Tab settings
• Object permissions
• Field permissions
• App permissions
• Apex class access
• Visualforce page access
• System permissions
• Service providers (only if you’ve enabled Salesforce as an identity provide
Answer:-
Master Detail relationship is the Parent child relationship. In which Master represents Parent and detail represents Child. If Parent is deleted then Child also gets deleted. Rollup summary fields can only be created on Master records which will calculate the SUM, COUNT, MIN, MAX of the Child records.
Look up relationship is something like “has-a” (Containership) relationship, where one record has reference to other records. When one record is deleted then there is no impact on other records.
Answer:-
We can convert the lookup relationship to master detail relationship if and only if all the existing record has valid lookup field.
Answer:-
As per now, salesforce does not allow deleting any user; however you can deactivate the user.

Answer:-
Governor limits are runtime limits enforced by the Apex runtime engine. Because Apex runs in a shared, multitenant environment, the Apex runtime engine strictly enforces a number of limits to ensure that code does not monopolize shared resources. Types of limits that Apex enforces are resources like memory, database resources, number of script statements to avoid infinite loops, and number of records being processed. If code exceeds a limit, the associated governor issues a runtime exception.
Answer:-
Sandbox
• The salesforce.com Sandbox environment is an exact copy of your salesforce.com instance. You can copy your live instance to a sandbox environment (but you have to perform manually from sandbox to developer edition) where you can test any changes, implementations, AppExchangeapps or updates. It can also be your hands-on training environment without risking your live data.
• You can either copy your configuration and data into a sandbox environment or just the configuration. It acts exactly like your live instance
• I know that this sounds wonderful land if you don’t have it,you are dying to know how to get it. The problem is the cost. If you are on Unlimited Edition,then cost is not a problem because it comes included. But for Enterprise,Professionalor Group Editions,you have to pay… and the price is hefty;anywhere between 25k-50k per year. For a lot of companies, that is more than they are paying for their live salesforce.com instance. So how do you test salesforce.com without Sandbox? It is always suggested to develop application in sandbox instance then go for LIVE.
Developer Edition
• Developer Edition was an edition created for development of integrations and apps, specifically for the AppExchange. It is also a great toolfor testing/training in salesforce.com. What makes this a great tool is the fact that it is free. Anyone can get a Developer Edition of salesforce.com. It is a standard Enterprise Edition with very limited storage space. You cannot copy your configuration or data onto the Developer Edition, but you can customize it to match your instance’s look and feel. Once it is customized, you can use it for training, testing or anything else you want. It takes a little bit of work, but you can make it act and feel just like your live instance. The work is well worth it for the free price.
Answer:-
Step by Step Instruction:
• Click Setup >Data Management > Data Export > Schedule Export.
• Select the desired encoding for your export file. Leaving the default is fine.
• Check the Include in export checkbox if you want to include attachments in the export (optional)
• Leave the default Replace carriage returns with spaces if you want your export files to
have spaces instead of carriage returns.
• Select Weekly as the frequency for the exports.
• Choose start and end dates. Set the end date to sometime in the distant future such as 20 years from the begin date.
• Set the time of day for your scheduled export. The export is put in a job queue and the exact time of the export willdepend on the amount of activity in the queue.
• You can select the types of data to include in your export. It is best to include alldata in your export file. This willmake sure allyour organizations data is exported. Click Save.
Points to Remember:
• Formula and roll-up summary fields are never included in exports.
• Articles are not included from exports.
• The export notification emailis sent to the emailaddress on file for the user who created the scheduled export. There is no way to indicate another emailaddress. If as an Administrator you want the emailto go to another person,have them grant you login access,login as them and schedule the data export. Important:
• Scheduled backup exports of your data are limited to weekly exports.
• You have 48 hours from the time you are notified the backup is available to download the backup file.
• The emailnotification for backups goes to the emailaddress in Salesforce of the person logged in who schedules the backup.

Governor limits do apply to allSalesforce instances (trial,developer,and production or sandbox environments). However code coverage and successfulexecution of test classes is only enforced when deploying to a production environment.
Answer:-
1. Tabular: Tabular reports are the simplest and fastest way to look at data. Similar to a spreadsheet, they consist simply of an ordered set of fields in columns, with each matching record listed in a row. Tabular reports are best for creating lists of records or a list with a single grand total. They can't be used to create groups of data or charts, and can't be used in dashboards unless rows are limited. Examples include contact mailing lists and activity reports.
2. Summary: Summary reports are similar to tabular reports, but also allow users to group rows of data, view subtotals, and create charts. They can be used as the source report for dashboard components. Use this type for a report to show subtotals based on the value of a particular field or when you want to create a hierarchicallist,such as all opportunities for your team,subtotaled by Stage and Owner. Summary reports with no groupings show as tabular reports on the report run page.
3. Matrix: Matrix reports are similar to summary reports but allow you to group and summarize data by both rows and columns. They can be used as the source report for dashboard components. Use this type for comparing related totals, especially if you have large amounts of data to summarize and you need to compare values in several different fields, or you want to look at data by date and by product,person,or geography. Matrix reports without at least one row and one column grouping show as summary reports on the report run page.
4. Joined: Joined reports let you create multiple report blocks that provide different views of your data. Each block acts like a “sub-report,” with its own fields, columns, sorting, and filtering. A joined report can even contain data from different report types.
Answer:-
1. Chart:Use a chart when you want to show data graphically.
2. Gauge:Use a gauge when you have a single value that you want to show within a range of custom values.
3. Metric:Use a metric when you have one key value to display.
• Enter metric labels directly on components by clicking the empty text field next to the grand total.
• Metric components placed directly above and below each other in a dashboard column are displayed together as a single component.
4. Table:Use a table to show a set of report data in column form.
5. Visualforce Page:Use a Visualforce page when you want to create a custom component or show information not available in another component type
6. Custom S-Control:Custom S-Controls can contain any type of content that you can display or run in a browser,for example,a Java applet,an ActiveX control,an Excelfile, or a custom HTML Web form\
