What is an object?

An object is represented as a database table that stores organizational data. Objects consists of a set of fields, and we store data against that field.

What are the different types of objects in Salesforce?

There are two types of objects in Salesforce:

• Standard Objects - Standard Objects are those created by Salesforce, which you can use automatically. For example, accounts, contacts, chatter, leads, etc.

• Custom Objects - Salesforce Custom Objects are those created by a user. You can create any number of custom objects. For example, student info, college, etc.

What are Standard and Custom Fields?

• Standard fields for custom objects store information, such as created by, modified by, currency, name, owner, and division. These are the standard fields in Salesforce.

• Custom fields for custom objects store unique data or information for an organization.

What is Page Layout and Record Types?

• Page Layout - In page layout, customizations can be made, like fields, related lists, and custom links can be arranged.

• Record Types - Record types help to implement business processes like defining picklist values for standard and custom picklists.

What is the difference between Profiles and Permission Sets?

• Permission Sets - In Permission Sets, you can define the access level of the user. Generally, this determines what a user can do in the applications. These are used to grant additional permissions to a user.

• Profiles - Profiles are assigned to the user by the system administrator. A profile can be assigned to many users, but a user can only have one profile.

What is Field-Level Security?

We manage what a user can see, modify, and delete of a specific field in an object using field-level security. In other cases, such as when we want to give a user access control over an object, but we don't want them to be able to access certain fields in that object, we use field-level security.

What are Governor Limits in Salesforce?

Governor limits in Salesforce are the run time limits enforced by the apex runtime engine to write scalable and efficient code.

What is the difference between a Trigger and Workflow?

• Workflow - Workflow is an automated process, a point and click that doesn't need any coding. When you want to take action (email, task, field update, or outbound message) for the same object or from the child to a parent object, you can use Workflow rules. You cannot perform a DML operation on workflow. Workflows only work after some actions.

• Trigger - A trigger is a programmatic code approach that fires before or after a record is inserted, updated, or deleted. Using a trigger, you can work on multiple objects. You can query and perform any DML operation. The trigger works before and after some actions.

Is AutoRABIT compatible with the deployment of CPQ data?

As of now, we are currently supporting CPQ data deployment through our Data Loader Pro feature only. We'll be releasing a beta version exclusively for CPQ deployments in the coming months.
