Q

List Custom Settings

A

A type of custom setting that provides a reusable set of static data that can be accessed across your organization. If you use a particular set of data frequently within your application, putting that data in a list custom setting streamlines access to it. Data in list settings does not vary with profile or user, but is available organization-wide. Examples of list data include two-letter state abbreviations, international dialing prefixes, and catalog numbers for products. Because the data is cached, access is low-cost and efficient you don t have to use SOQL queries that count against your governor limits.

25
Q

A list display of items (for example, accounts or contacts) based on specific criteria. Salesforce provides some predefined views. In the Agent console, the list view is the top frame that displays a list view of records based on specific criteria.

32
Q

Lookup Field

A

A type of field that contains a linkable value to another record. You can display lookup fields on page layouts where the object has a lookup or master-detail relationship with another object.

33
Q

Lookup Relationship

A

A relationship between two records so you can associate records with each other. For example, cases have a lookup relationship with assets that lets you associate a particular asset with a case. On one side of the relationship, a lookup field allows users to click a lookup icon and select another record from a popup window. On the associated record, you can then display a related list to show all of the records that have been linked to it. If a lookup field references a record that has been deleted, by default Salesforce clears the lookup field. Alternatively, you can prevent records from being deleted if they?e in a lookup relationship.

34
Q

Managed Package

A

A collection of application components that is posted as a unit on the AppExchange and associated with a namespace and possibly a License Management Organization.

Managed packages differ from unmanaged packages by having some locked components, allowing the managed package to be upgraded later. Unmanaged packages do not include locked components and cannot be upgraded. In addition, managed packages obfuscate certain components (like Apex) on subscribing organizations to protect the intellectual property of the developer.

42
Q

Merge Field
