TCS Interview
Mode: F2F Kolkata
Skill: Salesforce
Questions:
1st Round
1. What are the ways in Salesforce to get data sharing?
2. Why we use profile? How it differs from OWD?
3. What do you mean by data sharing and object sharing? Is it possible to get data sharing using
profile?
4. Suppose there is a time dependent workflow rule has been defined based on some condition. Now
before the triggered date the condition gets changed. So what will happen now?
5. Suppose there is a custom object field. There is a validation rule has been defined on it such that for
value less than 5 it will satisfy. There is also one trigger on the object which operates before inserting
the data. Now if a new record is created with value 4 then what will happen?
6. Explain the execution order in Salesforce.
7. Explain dynamic approval.
8. Is it possible to assign different approvers based on the different field value conditions in approval
process?
9. Suppose there are 3 approval process related to an object and all 3 of them satisfies the entry
criteria. Now when the approval is submitted then which approval process will trigger and why?
10. What are the best practices for writing triggers?
11. Why is it good practice to write one trigger per object?
12. Why is it good practice to write the business logic inside apex class and not in trigger itself?
13. Why data needs to be bulkified? If I import records using tools like data loader then for each of the
record there is a single transaction right? Then why I need to bother about governor limit?
14. What are the actions available in workflow rules?
15. What is the use of outbound message? Have you worked on it?
16. Design the below using VF page:
There is one picklist field which contain three text values: One, Two & Three and based on this value
1 or 2 or 3 will be populated in a text field.
If the mapping is available in custom settings then how we can retrieve and show it in VF page?
17. Suppose there are two triggers one for Account and one for Contact object. Now both the trigger
seems to be in cyclic order i.e. Account object trigger will update the contact field when there is any
update in the account object field. Similarly contact object trigger will update the account field when
there is a change in the contact field. How we can break this deadlock?
18. Suppose two objects are associated with master details relationship. For master the access is public
read write. Now if I want to get the access as public read only for child object. How we can do that?
19. What is use of grant access using hierarchies?
20. Difference between process builder and workflow rules.
21. Suppose I want to update the master record field based on some condition on child object field or
want to update the child record field based on some condition of the master record field. How we
can achieve this?
22. What is the difference between the field update in workflow and in process builder?
2nd round

Lead conversion:
--
Mapping 1 custom lead field to 2 other objects (Opportunity and Contact Objects)
This is how I do it:

create another hidden field on the lead object, I'll call it lead_2
create a workflow rule that triggers when
the first lead field (lead_1) is not blank AND lead_1 is not equal to lead_2

Few important points (usually interview type Questions of salesforce ):
One Object can have only two Master-Detail relationships.

If we delete record A (First Master detail relationship is always primary) – then child record c will
be deleted.
If we delete record B then in this case also child record C will be deleted.
If we delete record c then only C will be deleted , master record will not be deleted.
If child C has two Master record A and B, Where A is primary relation then Child record C will
inherit the look and feel of Parent object A.

View state in Lighting:

Lightning doesn't make any arrangement to automatically pass state between the server and client, unlike
Visualforce. This makes Lightning much faster in normal situations, because there's no coding/decoding of
large structures every time any little request is made, and also reduces bandwidth usage on mobile devices,
since the entire state isn't transferred each time. It also passes back plain JSON instead of HTML, which
further reduces the bandwidth of each request.

Ways of applying CSS:
A.Applying CSS for top level elements

B.Applying CSS for descendant elements
A.Applying CSS for top level elements:

-- Top level elements are those, which are directly connected to <HTML> and not under any other tag.
--In our code, we have <h2> and <ul> tags which can be considered as Top level elements.
--While applying CSS for them, we MUST write "THIS without space" format.
Ex:
.THIS.white {
background-color: white;
}
Note: There is no space between THIS and white.
B.Applying CSS for descendant elements:
-- Descendant elements are those, which are NOT directly connected to <HTML> and they are under any
other tag.
--In our code, we have <li> tag which can be considered as Descendant elements.
--While applying CSS for them, we MUST write "THIS with space" format.

remote site settings, which are otherwise required for callouts to external sites, for the site defined
in the named credential.

Calling future method from a trigger?
Instead of using a class that has a future method that can make just 10 requests for all your records,
create a batch apex class that processes the record requests one at a time. The execute() method of
the class will use the 10 calls just for 1 record, you can include a retry mechanism in case they time
out. Since the batch is executed asynchronously you should be able to process a very large number
of records like this.

requiring Apex code. Lightning Data Service handles sharing rules and field-level security for you. In
addition to not needing Apex, Lightning Data Service improves performance and user interface

At the simplest level, you can think of Lightning Data Service as the Lightning Components version
of the Visualforce standard controller. While this statement is an over-simplification, it serves to
illustrate a point. Whenever possible, use Lightning Data Service to read and modify Salesforce data
in your components.

After you submit your queueable class for execution, the job is added to the queue and will be

programmatically by querying AsyncApexJob or through the user interface in Setup by entering
Apex Jobs in the Quick Find box, then selecting Apex Jobs.
To query information about your submitted job, perform a SOQL query on AsyncApexJob by filtering
on the job ID that the System.enqueueJob method returns. This example uses the jobID variable that
was obtained in the previous example.

What is use of Readonly attribute in VFP:
Visualforce pages that use read-only mode for the entire page can’t use data manipulation language
(DML) operations, they can call getter, setter, and action methods which affect form and other user
interface elements on the page, make additional read-only queries, and so on.
-- Normally, queries for a single Visualforce page request may not retrieve more than 50,000 rows. In
read-only mode, this limit is relaxed to allow querying up to 1 million rows.
-- the readOnly attribute also increases the maximum number of items in a collection that can be
iterated over using components such as <apex:dataTable>, <apex:dataList>, and <apex:repeat>.
This limit increased from1,000 items to 10,000.

Reason why you would use custom settings instead of custom metadata:
1. Hierarchies - Custom metadata types do not purport to replace hierarchy custom settings which
allow you to vary values based on users and profiles across the org. These custom settings can also
be referenced in formulas, so can be used in formula fields, validation rules, workflow rules, and
visualforce. (Documentation here)
2. Web service credentials - If you’re using test credentials in a sandbox, you don’t have any reason
to deploy them to production. More importantly, if you create a sandbox, you don’t want the config
for the production versions of your Web Services being created automatically and used by default.
However, it is usually best to use Named Credentials for this.
3. Custom setting records’ values can be edited in code, while custom metadata cannot. If you will
need to modify your configuration programmatically for any reason (say you’re creating a config
console for the user), custom metadata will not work.
Also please check the below information link on this topic:

https://www.xgeek.net/salesforce/using-custom-metadata-types-and-custom-settings-in-salesforce/
==========================
Difference between Custom Settings and Custom Metadata:
Advantages to Custom Metadata:
1. Most importantly, as stated before, they are Metadata and thus deployable! No more annoying
configuration after deployment, which you have to do with Custom Settings. They're also refreshed
to sandboxes, so you don't need to create Apex classes to generate your default Custom Setting
records.
2. They have WAY more options that Custom Settings: picklist fields, long text areas (in Spring '17),
page layouts, and validation rules (though as of Winter '17 these are not deployable either by change
set or by migration tool - weird!)
3. The beauty that is Metadata Relationships! You can create lookups between Custom Metadata
objects. Additionally, you can create an Object Definition lookup - so you're relating Custom
Metadata to Standard or Custom Object definitions. Additionally, in Spring '17 you can create a
dependent lookup to a Field Definition on that object. (Documentation here)
4. Custom Settings have the same permission to edit the records and to edit the configuration. Both
can be done with the "Configure Application" permission. With Custom Metadata, you can edit the
records with "Configure Application" but you require "Author Apex" to edit the configuration.
5. Custom Metadata types have a lot of additional features specific to developing managed
packages. You can configure the visibility and editability of fields an objects both by the org that
installs the package and by upgrades to the package.

Design pattern usage:
Apex allows you to build just about any custom solution on the Force.com platform. But what are the
common design patterns and associated best practices for Apex development, and how can you
leverage these patterns and best practices to avoid reinventing the wheel?
This article describes how to leverage common design patterns to optimize your code and ensure
reusability, maintainability and performance. This is a wiki version of the Dreamforce 2012
presentation 'Apex Design Patterns'.
Singleton - minimizing object instantiation for improved performance and to mitigate impact of
governor limits
Strategy - defining a family of algorithms, enscapsulating each one and making them
interchangeable and selectable at runtime
Decorator - extending the functionality of an sObject in Apex
Facade - simplifying the execution of classes with complex interfaces (e.g. web service callouts)
Composite - treating a group of objects in a similar manner to a single instance of that object
Bulk State Transition - efficiently tracking the change of a field value in a trigger and executing
functionality based on this change

Issues in using Future method:
Future Method Performance Best Practices

Salesforce uses a queue-based framework to handle asynchronous processes from such sources as
future methods and batch Apex. This queue is used to balance request workload across
organizations. Use the following best practices to ensure your organization is efficiently using the
queue for your asynchronous processes.
Avoid adding large numbers of future methods to the asynchronous queue, if possible. If more than
2,000 unprocessed requests from a single organization are in the queue, any additional requests
from the same organization will be delayed while the queue handles requests from other
organizations.
Ensure that future methods execute as fast as possible. To ensure fast execution of batch jobs,
minimize Web service callout times and tune queries used in your future methods. The longer the
future method executes, the more likely other queued requests are delayed when there are a large
number of requests in the queue.
Test your future methods at scale. Where possible, test using an environment that generates the
maximum number of future methods you’d expect to handle. This will help determine if delays will
occur.
Consider using batch Apex instead of future methods to process large numbers of records.

Oubound Webservice is something that you publish from salesforce org and 3rd party tools

Normally, queries for a single Visualforce page request may not retrieve more than 50,000 rows. In

In addition to querying many more rows, the readOnly attribute also increases the maximum number

<apex:dataList>, and <apex:repeat>. This limit increased from 1,000 items to 10,000. Here is a simple

Dynamic SOQL - Why we use?
Dynamic SOQL refers to the creation of a SOQL string at run time with Apex code. Dynamic SOQL
enables you to create more flexible applications. For example, you can create a search based on
input from an end user or update records with varying field names.
To create a dynamic SOQL query at run time, use the database query method, in one of the following
ways.
Return a single sObject when the query returns a single record:
sObject s = Database.query(string_limit_1);
Return a list of sObjects when the query returns more than a single record:
List<sObject> sobjList = Database.query(string);

Custom setting types?
Custom settings are similar to custom objects and enable application developers to create custom
sets of data, as well as create and associate custom data for an organization, profile, or specific
user. All custom settings data is exposed in the application cache, which enables efficient access
without the cost of repeated queries to the database. This data can then be used by formula fields,
validation rules, flows, Apex, and the SOAP API.
There are two types of custom settings:
List Custom Settings

Use extreme care if you are planning to invoke a batch job from a trigger. You must be able to
guarantee that the trigger will not add more batch jobs than the five that are allowed.
Use Database.Stateful with the class definition if you want to share variables or data across job
transactions. Otherwise, all instance variables are reset to their initial state at the start of each
transaction.
Methods declared as future cannot be called from a batch Apex class.
You cannot call the Database.executeBatch method from within any batch Apex method.
All methods in the class must be defined as global.

specify any of the normal HTTP verbs of GET, POST, DELETE and PUT. Below is what would happen
If the respective verbs were sent by the client.
POST – This would be used to create a new employee using the RESTful web service
GET - This would be used to get a list of all employee using the RESTful web service

kind of forecasting is used for custom fiscal year, opportunity lead adjustments, territory
management, snapshots and forecast history.
2.Collaborative forecasting provides your business with more flexibility and more intuitive user
interface. The unique features of this kind of forecasting include ability to rename the forecast
categories, expandable forecast tables and forecasting on the opportunity splits.
Advantages of Salesforce forecasting:

Easy for the sales representative to maintain an accurate and correct representation of the
opportunity status.
It helps in adding the numbers so that it can produce a forecast that is based on close dates of
opportunities.

Difference Between Change Sets and Eclipse Deployment Methods
1. Via eclipse we can deploy but Eclipse will not keep a track of the Classes and Pages which were
depolyed earlier . On the Other hand if we use Change Sets then all old deployemnts will be tracked .
2. Change Sets allow the ability to be cloned where as Eclipse doesnt .
3. A silly difference is Eclipse Uses Security Token as it is an 3rd Party System .
4. A change set can only be moved between a live site and its sandbox. Eclipse can be used to move
between any orgs like live site and developer org.
5. When using change sets when it deploys it runs all tests of apex code. If you have low covereage
or have code that will break with the new components you will not be able to deploy it will fail every
time while with Eclipse you can push code without coverage.
=============
Limits of change set:

Changesets are a way to deploy components through the standard salesforce UI. A user first creates
a Outbound Changeset on the Source org and adds the components they wish to deploy. Once
ready, the changes is uploaded to a Destination ORG. The deployment can then be validated and
deployed from within the Destination ORG>
Pros:
Don't need to be a developer
UI interface
Anyone can see list of components deployed
Cons:
UI Interface (it's horrible)

The Ant Migration Tool uses a technology called Apache Ant to allow you to retrieve and deploy
meta-data. Besides typical deployments, there are countless uses for this, but here are some
common ones:
Deploying the same package to multiple orgs

Continuos integration
Auto-Backups
Editing object meta data through XML (often faster than using the UI)

Process builder Vs Flows:
Visual Workflow:
Visual Workflow enables you to create flows, which are triggered by users rather than events. Unlike
Workflow, which always executes rules and actions behind the scenes, Visual Workflow offers
screens for displaying and collecting information from the user running the flow.
Flows aren’t tied to any one object. They can look up, create, update, and delete records for multiple
objects.
Process Builder:
The Process Builder’s simple and powerful design allows you to:Create your processes using a
convenient layout with point-and-click efficiency.
Create your whole process in one place rather than using multiple workflow rules.
Create processes by collaborating with different teams in your business.
Stop using Apex code to automate simple tasks.

var result = sforce.apex.execute("MyClass", "processDetails",{accId : accId});
var url = 'http://www.google.com'
window.open( url);
}
catch(err) {
txt="There was an error on this page.\n\n";
txt+="Error description: " + err.description + "\n\n";
txt+="Click OK to continue.\n\n";
alert(txt);
}
======================
You can set the readonly attribute on the VF page to display more than 10000 records as below.
<apex:page controller="customcontroller" readonly="true">
Or Pagination below:
You can either use client-side or server-side pagination. Either way, you won't be able to use
standard tools like StandardSetController or OFFSET.
Server-side, you need to use the @ReadOnly annotation to enable the 1,000,000 row limit, which
might look like this:
@RemoteAction @ReadOnly public static SObject[] getRecords(Integer page) {

SObject[] results = new SObject[0];
for(SObject[] records: [SELECT ... FROM SObject WHERE ... LIMIT :page*200]) {
results = records;
}
return results;
}
From there, you just repeatedly call the value until you get all of your results:
var buffer = []
function getPage(i) {
myController.getPage(i, function(event, data) {
if(data.length) {
data.forEach(function(v) {buffer.push(v)})
getPage(i+1)
}
}
}
Client-side, it'd look more like this example from the docs:
var result = sforce.connection.query("select id, name from account");

var it = new sforce.QueryResultIterator(result);
var buffer = [];
while (it.hasNext()) {
var account = it.next();
buffer.push(account);
}

What is XSS?
Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web
applications. XSS enables attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other
users. A cross-site scripting vulnerability may be used by attackers to bypass access controls such
as the same-origin policy. Cross-site scripting carried out on websites accounted for roughly 84% of
all security vulnerabilities documented by Symantec as of 2007.[1] Bug bounty company HackerOne
in 2017 reported that XSS is still a major threat vector.[2] XSS effects vary in range from petty
nuisance to significant security risk, depending on the sensitivity of the data handled by the
vulnerable site and the nature of any security mitigation implemented by the site's owner.

Is loosely typed, the object and its attributes can be variable.
Does not contain metadata about objects and fields. Takes an array of key-value pairs.

5. What is time dependent workflow action?
6. For which event we can't create time dependent workflow action?
7. What are the different kinds of workflow actions?
8. What are the types of email templates?
9. There is a timebased workflow which will update one of the fields if the criteria meet. User submits the
record with valid criteria, workflow triggered so that the field update is queued in the 'time based flow' queue
which will fire after one day. If the user modifies the record which is submitted before the scheduled date,
after modification, a record criterion is not meeting. Whether the field will be updated or not in schedule
date?
10. For the same scenario explained in the above question what happens when we deactivate or modify the
criteria of the workflow to different criteria? Whether the field will be updated or not in schedule date?
11. Scenario: There are two workflow rules on the same object say namely wf1 and wf2. If wf1 fires then a
field will be updated on the same object, if the field updated and due to this wf2 criteria meets then what will
happen, wf2 will fire or not?
12. What is recursive workflow rule? How to avoid recursive workflow rules?
13. What is Approval Process?

1) Explain what is sales force?
Salesforce is a CRM delivered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS).
2) Explain what is a custom object in sales force?
Custom objects are nothing but database tables. It stores data related to your company in Salesforce.com.
Once you have defined custom object you can do following things like
Create custom fields

Associate the custom object with other records
In custom related lists, it display the custom object data
For custom object, records track events and tasks
Build page layouts
For the custom object create a custom tab
To analyze custom object data create dashboards and reports
Share your custom tabs, custom apps, custom objects and any other related components
3) Explain what is object relationship overview?
Object relationship overview in Salesforce is used to link custom object records to standard object records in
a related list. In simple words, it is helpful to track product defects associated with customer cases. You can
define different types of relationship by creating custom relationship fields on an object.
4) Mention changing what may cause data loss?
Data loss may cause due to following reasons
Changing data and date-time

Altering to percent,number and currency from other data types
Changing from multi-select picklist, checkbox, auto number to other types
Altering to multi-select picklist from any type except picklist
Changing to auto-number except from text
Changing from text-area to e-mail, phone, URL and text
5) How SaaS can be helpful to Sales force?
As SaaS is a subscription based, customers can always choose not to renew if they are dissatisfied
Customers can avoid a large initial investment in an IT infrastructure and day to day hustle of maintaining
infrastructure
SaaS customer provides same provider infrastructure and also easy integration
SaaS applications use a simple internet interface that makes easier for customer to use.
SaaS always provide a latest platform to the customer with innovation.

6) How sales force is useful in tracking sales?
Sales force records all the basic details like the number of customers served daily, daily sales volume, sales
manager detailed reports, sales numbers in each month or quarter. Also, it keeps a track on the repeat
customer, which is key to success for any sales organization.
7) Mention how many relationship is included in SFDC and what are they?
There are two types of relationships
Master detail relationship

Lookup relationship

Trigger is a code that is executed before or after the record is updated or inserted
10) Mention what is the use of the static resource in Salesforce?
With the help of static resources, you can upload zip files, images, jar files, JavaScript and CSS files that
can be referred in a visual force page. The optimum size of static resources for an organization is 250 mB.
11) Mention what is the difference between force.com and Salesforce.com?

Summary report: It is a detailed form of the report in which the grouping is done based on columns
Joined report: With this two or more reports can be joined in the single reports
17) Is it possible to schedule a dynamic dashboard in Salesforce?
No, it is not possible to schedule a dynamic dashboard in Salesforce.
18) What does it indicate if an error state this “list has no rows for assignment”?
The error that tells “list has no rows for assignment” indicates that the list you are trying to access has no
values in it.
19) Explain what the junction object is and what is the use?
Junction objects are used to build many-to-many relationships between objects. You can take a recruiting
application example, where a position for a job can be linked to many candidates and in the same manner a
candidate can be linked to the different positions. So, to connect this data model, you need a third party
object, this object is referred as junction object. Here “job application” is the junction object.
20) Explain what is Audit trail?
Audit trail function is helpful in knowing the information or track all the recent setup changes that the
administration does to the organization. It can store last 6 months data.
21) Explain what is dashboard?
Dashboard is the pictorial representation of the report, and we can add up to 20 reports in a single
dashboard.
22) Explain how many controllers can be used in a visual force page?
As Salesforce comes under SaaS, one can use only one controller and as many extension controller.
23) Mention what is the difference between SOQL and SOSL?
SOQL ( Salesforce Object Query Language) SOSL (Salesforce Object Search Language)
Only one object at a time can be searched
Query all type of fields
It can be used in triggers and classes
DML operation can be performed on query results
Many objects can be searched at a time
Query only e-mail, phone and text
It can be used in classes but not in triggers
DML operation cannot be performed on search result

1. 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.
2. 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.
multi tenant architecture - salesforce interview questions

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
3. 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
4. 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.
5. What are the different data types that a standard field record name can have?
A standard field record name can have data type of either auto number or text field with a limit of 80 chars.
For generating auto numbers, the format needs to be specified while defining the field and after that for
every record that is added, the number will get auto generated. For example:-
Sr No-{1}
Sr No-{2}
Sr No-{3}
6. Why are Visualforce pages served from a different domain?

Visualforce pages are served from a different domain to improve security standards and block cross site
scripting. Take a look at the highlighted portion in the below Visualforce page:-
sample visualforce page - salesforce interview questions
B. Declarative Features – Salesforce Interview Questions
7. What is WhoId and WhatId in activities?

WhoID refers to people. Typically: contacts or leads. Example: LeadID, ContactID
WhatID refers to objects. Example: AccountID, OpportunityID
8. 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.
9. What are the different types of email templates that can be created in Salesforce?
The different types of Email templates are listed in the below table:-
Text All users can create or change this template

HTML with letterhead Only Administrators and users having “Edit HTML Templates” permissions can create
this template based on a letterhead.
Custom HTML Administrators and users having “Edit HTML Templates” permissions can create this
template without the need of a letterhead
Visualforce Only administrators and developers can create this template. Advanced functionalities like
merging data from multiple records is available only in this template
C. Audit & Reporting Features – Salesforce Interview Questions
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. What are the different types of reports available in Salesforce? Can we mass delete reports in
Salesforce?
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.
D. Data Modelling & Data Management – Salesforce Interview Questions
13. 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 the objects. In simpler words, it will be a child object
for both the master objects.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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: ” “.
E. Logic & Process Automation – Salesforce Interview Questions
20. 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”.
21. 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.
22. How many active assignment rules can you have in a lead/ case?
Only one rule can be active at a time.
23. 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.
24. 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.
25. 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()
F. Software Testing – Salesforce Interview Questions
26. 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.
27. 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.
G. Debug & Deployment Tools – Salesforce Interview Questions
28. 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
H. Integration – Salesforce Interview Questions
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. 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;
}}
I. Programmatic Features – Salesforce Interview Questions
32. 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.
33. 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>
34. 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.
<apex: page>
<apex:form id ="frm">
<apex:actionfunction name="callfromJS" action="{!controllerMethodName} reRender="frm"/>
</apex:form>
<script>
function JSmethodCallFromAnyAction()
{
callfromJS();
}
</apex:page>
35. 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().
36. 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.
37. 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"/>
<h1 style="border:{!borderColor}">
<apex:outputText value="{!myValue}"/>
</h1>
</apex:component>
38. 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.
39. 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>();
40. How can you embed a Visualflow in a Visualforce page?

Find the flow’s unique name.
From Setup, enter Flows in the Quick Find box, then select Flows.
Click the name of the flow.
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.
Click Visualforce Pages.
Click Security next to your Visualforce page.
Move all the appropriate profiles from Available Profiles to Enabled Profiles by using the ‘add’ and ‘remove’
buttons.
Click Save.
Add the Visualforce page to your Force.com app by using a custom button, link, or Visualforce tab.
41. 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).
42. 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<P>){}
Finish method:
global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC){}
43. 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>
44. 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.
45. 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
46. 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.
47. What is the difference between SOQL and SOSL?

The differences are mentioned in the table below:
SOQL (Salesforce Object Query Language) SOSL (Salesforce Object Search Language)
Only one object can be searched at a time Many objects can be searched at a time
Can query any type of field Can query only on email, text or phone
Can be used in classes and triggers Can be used in classes, but not triggers
DML Operation can be performed on query results DML Operation cannot be performed on search
results
Returns records Returns fields
48. 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.
49. 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.
50. 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.
