Process Builder

Lightning Process Builder

The Process Builder is a workflow tool that helps you easily automate your business processes by providing a powerful and user friendly graphical representation of your process as you build it. 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.

Automated processes in the Process Builder are based on records and consist of:

• Criteria that determine when to execute action groups.
• Immediate and scheduled actions to execute when those criteria are met.

• Any change that causes a record to match the criteria can automatically trigger the action group.
• You can use the more powerful and flexible Process Builder to perform the same actions as workflow. Theprocess builder doesn’t support outbound messages, but you can easily create one yourself with Apex. 

Importance of Annotations

chapter6
Classes, Objects, and Interfaces

In this chapter most of the times interviewer asking questions is annotations concept.
  
SO I wanna post A Annotations concept clear cut information.

Annotations

An Apex annotation modifies the way that a method or class is used, similar to annotations in Java.
Annotations are defined with an initial @ symbol, followed by the appropriate keyword. To add an annotation to a method, specify it
immediately before the method or class definition. 

Apex supports the following annotations.
total 16 annotations include lightning component and rest annotations.
See basically most of the times 5 annotations are used in our projects.
1.@AuraEnabled
2.@Deprecated
3.@Future
4.@InvocableMethod
5.@InvocableVariable
6.@IsTest
7.@ReadOnly
8.@RemoteAction
9.@TestSetup
10.@TestVisible
Apex REST annotations:
11.@RestResource(urlMapping='/yourUrl')
12.@HttpDelete
13.@HttpGet
14.@HttpPatch
15.@HttpPost
16.@HttpPut

in this 16 annotations interviewer asking only future, IsTest, RemoteAction and differences.

important feature of dml statements

Concepts of DML Statements and SOQL,SOSL Queries.

DML statements available in Apex:
Insert
Update
Delete
Undelete
Upsert (Combination of insert and update)
Merge (Combination of update and delete)

Concept for the Soql:
SOQL: Salesforce Object Query Language
SOQL Purpose: To fetch info. from an object and related objects.
We can write query on one object while querying on those objects we can fetch the child object info. or parent object info. (we cannot capture un related objects info.)
SOQL queries per transaction: 100.
SOQL query rows returned: 50000.

Concept for the Sosl:
SOSL: Salesforce Object Search Language
SOSL Purpose:We can search for a value in multiple objects (no need of any relationship).
Results of SOSL query can be stored in List of List.
SOSL queries per transaction: 20.
SOSL query rows returned: 2000.

sfdc questions and answers

1. What is the difference between private cloud and public cloud ? Is salesforce.com is a private cloud and public cloud?
  Public Cloud: Cloud services are provided “aaS” as a Service over the Internet with little or no control over the underlying infrastructure.Same resources are used by more than one tenant(customer).
Private Cloud: Cloud services are provide “as a service” but is deployed over a hosted data center or company intranet. This is private product for an organization offering advance security.
Salesforce.com: Is a public cloud as data of more than one tenant resides on same servers
and is hosted on salesforce.com data centers.

2. What are different kinds of reports?
1. Tabular: Tabular reports are the simplest and fastest way to look at data.They are made of ordered set of fields in columns, with each matching record listed in a row. They can’t be used to create charts or groups of data, and only can be used in dashboards if rows are limited.Tabular reports are best for creating a list with a single grand total or lists of records. Examples include activity reports and contact mailing lists.
2. Summary: These are similar to tabular reports, but they also allow users to view subtotals, create charts and group rows of data. They can be used as the source report for dashboard components. These are used for a report to show subtotals of the value of a particular field or when you want to create a hierarchical list, such as all opportunities for your team, subtotaled by Stage and Owner. On the report run page, summary reports with no groupings are shown as tabular reports.
3. Matrix: Matrix reports are similar to summary reports but allow you to group and summarize data by both rows and columns.For dashboard components, they can be used as the source report. Use this type for comparing related totals, especially if you have large amounts of data to summarize and you need to compare values in several different fields, or you want to look at data by date and by geography, product, or person.Matrix reports without at least one row and one column grouping show as summary reports on the report run page.
4. Joined: Joined reports let you create multiple report blocks that provide different views of your data. Each block acts like a “sub-report,” with its own columns, sorting, fields, and filtering. A joined report can even contain data from different report types.
