Backup & Restore

A
  • A Salesforce product that can be used for automatically generating data backups
  • Data can be backed up and restored in the event of integration errors, malicious attempts, or incorrect data updates
  • Its main features include:

    2.) Daily incremental backups
    3.) Backup-to-current-state comparisons
    4.) Restoration to original org
    5.) Backup dashboard and statistics
  • The ‘Backup’ tab can be used to create a backup policy
  • The ‘Restore’ tab can be used to restore a backup
  • The ‘Logs’ tab can be used to get information about previous backup and restore activity.
53
Q

Validation Rules

A
  • Used to verify that the data being entered by Users meets the standards set by their orgs before a record can be saved
  • 2 Types:
    1.) Standard
    2.) Custom
  • Assignment rules, field updates, field-level security, or fields hidden on a page layout can make records FAIL validation
  • These are only enforced during lead conversion if validation and triggers for lead conversion are enabled in the org
  • These are run for records created via Web-to-Lead and Web-to-Case
  • Workflow rules and some processes can invalidate previously valid fields since updates to records based on workflow rules and also on process scheduled actions don’t trigger these types of rules
  • Campaign hierarchies ignore these types of rules
  • Continues to run on individual records if the owner is changed
  • If the Mass Transfer tool is used to change the ownership of multiple records, however, these types of rules don’t run on those records
54
Q

Standard Validation Rules

A

Basic standard rules enforced by SF in order to maintain data quality and integrity

55
Q

Custom Validation Rules

A

Rules that are created and incorporated with functions and logic in order to meet more business-specific validation requirements

56
Q

Order of Processing Rules (from First to Last):

A

1.) Validation (Standard and Custom) rules
2.) Duplicate and Assignment Rules
3.) Auto-Response Rules
4.) Workflow Rules (with immediate actions)
5.) Escalation and Entitlement Rules

57
Q

Standard Validation Rules

A
  • Built-in and enforced by SF
  • Specified when I define a field in Setup
  • Ensures Data Type is correct for the field (ex: e-mail, phone, currency, number)
  • Validates field length on text, currency, and number fields
  • Enforced IMMEDIATELY on record save, prior to Workflows or Process Builders
  • A value of the correct data type must be entered
  • A field CANNOT have an empty value
  • The same field value should NOT exist in another record:
    1.) It applies to Text, Number, and E-mail fields
    2.) A unique text field can be configured to be case-sensitive or case-insensitive
58
Q

3 Important Implications when making a Field required:

A

1.) A record CANNOT be saved without a value, including when created or updated through Data Import Tools
2.) Field will be added to ALL page layouts and CANNOT be removed
3.) CANNOT be used for all field types (ex: text area (long)

59
Q

5 Features of UI Required Fields

A

1.) Required at the UI level only
2.) Configured in the page layout editor
3.) Required only at the page layout level
4.) Field can be removed from the page layout
5.) NOT required in data imports

60
Q

5 Features of Metadata Required Fields

A

1.) Required at BOTH UI and API level
2.) Configured at the field level
3.) Required everywhere in the system all the time
4.) Fields CANNOT be removed from the page layouts
5.) REQUIRED in data imports

61
Q

Custom Validation Fields

A
  • Custom rules configured on an object that validate field values before a record is created or updated to prevent Users from saving invalid data
  • Complex Validation is applied to these fields, which are rules that can involve one or more fields (standard or custom)
  • Defined using a formula or expression and return True or False, with the defined error message displaying when returned True
  • Order of Execution are enforced prior to any any other processing rules, Workflows, or Processes
  • Validation Rules apply to new or existing records even if fields referenced in a rule are NOT displayed on a page layout or an API call
  • An Error Message can be displayed at the top of the page or next to the field that failed the Validation Rule
  • If these are used in an object, it will be used to check against imported records
  • If a violation occurs by meeting the criteria set in the Error Condition formula field, records CANNOT be saved
  • Can be used to enforce formatting of input through the REGEX formula function
62
Q

REGEX Function

A
  • Regular expression function
  • Function which only checks for the correct format in the data that was entered
63
Q

Report Type

A
  • Determines which records and fields are available in a report
  • 2 Types:
    1.) Standard
    2.) Custom
  • These are the basis for Dashboards
  • If this includes more than 1 object, the resulting data in the report is a Join of the records from those objects
64
Q

Standard (Ready-Made) Report Type

A
  • Defines the standard object or objects for the source data in a report
  • The primary object and related objects available based on the report type are FIXED
  • All standard and custom fields for each object in the Report Builder are included
  • When a custom field is created, it will automatically be available in the report
  • Fields CANNOT be hidden and will always be available to Users
  • Use when objects and fields available in a report type meet the report requirements
  • Use when building “with” reports
  • ALL fields in the objects that are part of this type of report are available, including any custom fields
65
Q

Custom (Make-Your-Own) Report Types

A
  • Gives Admins the flexibility for which fields I want to make available for the Report Builder, and fields can be renamed as needed
  • The primary object can be defined and up to 3 objects can be related to the primary object
  • Fields available in the Report Builder can be limited, reorganized, and renamed
  • If enabled in the ‘Reports and Dashboard’ settings, custom fields can be auto-added AFTER creation
  • Fields can be hidden to prevent the field from being used
  • Use when the report type does NOT meet the objects or fields required in a report
  • Use when building “with” or “with/without” reports
  • The ‘Without’ relationship is optional with this type of report type
66
Q

‘With’ Condition

A

Condition which means there must be a matching record on each side of the relationship for the records to be included

67
Q

‘Show Me’ Filters

A
  • Filters which have to do with the ownership of records
  • This type of filter tells the report which records to include
68
Q

Reports

A

Used to report information based on object records in Salesforce and on criteria defined by the user

69
Q

Report Format

A
  • A description of the grouping that I specify in a report
  • Not explicitly selected in the Lightning Report Builder; this automatically adapts based on the grouping that is configured in the report
70
Q

4 Types of Report Formats

A

1.) Tabular Report
2.) Summary Report
3.) Matrix Report
4.) Joined Report
