Object Manager and Lightning App Builder

Question 1

What are the two types of relationships in objects?

Answer 1

Master detail relationship
Lookup

Question 2

What happens to the child records if the parent record is deleted in a master detail relationship?

Answer 2

All child records are deleted as they cannot exist without a parent. Unless “Allow reparenting” is enabled in set up for the master detail relationship.

Question 3

Why use a master detail relationship? Explain what type of relationship is provides and how it works.

Answer 3

It allows a one to many relationship (i.e. An account can have many opportunities but an opportunity can only be linked to one account).

It is always required to relate when creating a record of that object so it enforces a tight coupling.

Question 4

Can you make a master custom object and pair it with a standard object?

Answer 4

No - Standard objects must be on the master side of the relationship with a custom object (i.e. Custom object tech meetings cannot be the parent of Accounts).

Question 5

How are sharing settings laid out in Master Detail and Lookup relationships?

Answer 5

Master detail - Sharing and security settings of the parent object will pass the same configuration to the child object so it inherits the rules (i.e. Accounts and Contacts).

Lookup - Does not inherit the sharing settings

Question 6

Can you use roll up summaries on lookup?

Answer 6

No - You can only aggregate data on master detail relationships. As an example, total gifts can be a custom account field that is a roll up summaries of all opportunities related to the account.

Question 7

What is the purpose of a junction object?

Give an example with the objects: Position, Candidate, Application.

Answer 7

It provides a means of a many to many relationship meaning when a record from one object can be linked to multiple records from another object and vice versa.

A junction object sits between the other 2 object and has a master detail relationship with both objects.

For example: The application object is the junction object sitting between position and candidate. Application has 2 master detail relationships, one with position and one with candidate and a lookup relationship is implemented to interview. So a position can have multiple applications and a candidate can make multiple applications but some applications can have multiple interviews.

Question 8

What can a lead be converted into?

Answer 8

Account
Contact
Opportunity

Question 9

How long do you have until a recently deleted custom field is permanently deleted?

Answer 9

15 days

Question 10

How many custom objects can you create on Enterprise, and Unlimited and Performance edition?

Answer 10

200 on Enterprise
2000 on Unlimited and Performance edition

Question 11

What is an App?

Answer 11

An App is a collection of tabs made visible to a profile.

Question 12

How are profiles used in page layouts?

Answer 12

Page layouts can be assigned to profiles to showcase specific fields and related lists that profile may want to see to avoid clutter.

Question 13

What is the difference between record types and page layouts?

Answer 13

Record types allow defining different picklist options, page layouts, and business processes.

For example, you could create two different sales processes on opportunity object by using 2 different record types with their individual page layout.

Question 14

What is a business process?

Answer 14

Business processes can be assigned with record types to define the lifecycle of leads, opportunities, cases or solutions for different user profiles.

Question 15

What is a path?

Answer 15

A path can be created in lightning experience for custom and some standard objects to display their lifecycle based on a picklist field.

Question 16

Can you rename standard objects and fields?

Answer 16

Yes, but only the label NOT the API name. This is done through Rename tabs and Labels option in Setup.

Question 17

What is a case?

Answer 17

Salesforce object that captures a collection of information about a particular issue, inquiry or incident

Question 18

If a lookup filter is used on a lookup field, is the filter required?

Answer 18

In Lightning - Yes.

Question 19

Can you reference fields on records related to the target object (i.e. Contact –> Account)

Answer 19

Yes. You can filter it for example if on Contact you can go through to Account then any field on the associated account.

Question 20

What do you have to do if you want to model a many to many relationship?

Answer 20

You have to create a Junction Object and within that custom object, create two master detail relationships between the two objects you want to relate it to.

For example: You want to have a many to many relationships between Case and Bug (custom). A case can be associated to many bugs and a bug can be associated to many cases. The custom junction object will be called CaseBugAssociation.

Question 21

Do search layouts control what is searchable?

Answer 21

No - it only controls the fields that appear in the search results and what fields are displayed in the recently viewed list

Question 22

Do the properties of a custom field restore when you restore the field after deletion?

Answer 22

Some properties do not restore automatically. Any relationships convert to lookup relationships when deleted and any required fields need to be required once again.

Question 23

Can a custom field and a standard field be deleted?

Answer 23

Only custom fields can be deleted.

Question 24

Can standard picklists values be deleted, added or reordered?

Answer 24

They can be added, deleted, or reordered.

Question 25

If a custom field has been deleted, does the field, its data and field history also restore within 15 days?

Answer 25

All of them is restored.

Question 26

Do you have to wait 15 days for a field to be permanently deleted?

Answer 26

No, you can manually do it.

Question 27

Answer 29

Yes custom and standard checkboxes. But not for the dependent field.
