which help us calculate the values from child record by using aggregate functions like count, sum, min, max. Parent record is required in child record's page layout. we can create 2 relationships per object.The owner field is not available in child object and it is automatically set it's related parent record owner only if we are having custom object is child then can't have sharing rules, manual sharing, queues as the require the Owner field.

Order of Execution in Salesforce:
==================================
When we click on Save Button what will happen in back end like insert and update the records.
1.Loads the record from data base / Initialize for up sert
2.Order Values are overwritten
3.System Validation rules like (layout specific rules, field formats, maximum length)
4.Apex(before trigger will fire)
5.Custom Validation rules(Whatever you have written)
6.Records are saved (data base) not committed
7.Record reloaded from data base
8.Apex after trigger
9.Assignment rules(Lead or case)
10.Auto response rules
11.Work flow rules
12.Escalation Rules
13.Roll Up Summary formulas updated
14. Executes the criteria based sharing.
15.Data base committed.
16. Post commit the logic(Sending the emails etc)
Note: Custom Settings are easily accessible data from custom objects based on user frequently seeing the data.
Two Types of custom settings we have
1. List = Same data for every user in organization
2. Hierarchy = Data Can be fetched based on Profile and user.
In this Custom settings lot of difference compare to custom objects while creating any fields many of the fields not available like while creating in custom object(relationship fields, pick list values fields etc)
How to fetch custom setting, is it like querying of custom object?
Get custom Object data => List<SampleObject>sobjs=[select id from SampleObject];
Get custom settings data => List<My_Custom_seetings__c>sobjs=My_Custom_seetings__c.getall().values();
for(My_Custom_seetings__c phoneCode : PhoneCodes) system.debug(PhoneCode);
Get Instance method => My_Custom_seetings__c PhoneCode=My_Custom_seetings__c.getInstance('India');
system.debug(PhoneCode); get Hierarchy custom setting data My_Custom_seetings__c sobjName=My_Custom_seetings__c.getValues(userinfo.getUserId());
Advantages of custom settings:
1. No query is required value
2. Fast access of data increasing the performance
3. Hierarchical custom settings are allows data for different profiles and users
Disadvantages of custom settings:
1. It is cannot be deployed
2. Only 300 fields allowed custom settings
3. custom settings count against total number of custom object in organization
4. tabs can not be created in custom settings
Custom Meta data: Custom Meta data is similar to custom setting except this is deploy able to across environments. while sending the custom settings one org to another org it's not available with records only available in custom setting main component-by-component while sending the custom meta data with records it will be available all information.
SOQL with no governor limit of custom Meta data. if we query any meta data it will not count governor limit.
We have available validation rules Page Layouts We can create look up to another custom meta data like custom objects.
Deployment: By Using Change set
A change set which one organization can send the customization to another organization. a change set is a set of components Change sets can only contain modifications through the set up menu Change sets may contain customizations to existing components or new components, but can't be used to delete or rename components
We can't use a change set to upload the data.
Two types of Change sets we have
1. Outbound change set - change set which can be created by us to upload or to move components to another organization.
2. Inbound change set - Is a change set that has been sent from another organization to organization you are logged into and ready for validate or deployment.
How to establish connection between orgs:
->in quick find box search Environments and under select Deployment settings
->Open any Sandbox name which one you want to connect->click on edit
-> check the box Allow inbound Changes-> click on save
How to Create an Outbound Change set: quick find box -> search Change sets -> outbound change sets -> click on new -> enter any name and then click on save
Here we can add two types of components
Change set components
Profile settings for included components
-> Once opened outbound change Select any one of those two components based on requirement or based on which we need to send the data
-> Click on add and then select which one do you need to send and is there any dependencies you can select view/add dependencies
-> click on Upload -> select target Organization and again click on upload.
Go to Target organization -> click on in bound change set -> check waiting queue for deploy -> open the component-by-component
-> click on validate -> then click on deploy
Here we have a four types of validate change sets
Default
Run Local Test
Run All tests
Run specified Tests
Note: we can't deploy any apex classes, triggers,LWC components. We need code coverage minimum 25% otherwise we can't able to deploy.

Difference between "Invocable method" and "Invocable variable"?
While we are doing the process builder it is very flexible, some of the business use cases not supported by using process builder.

2. not support creation of multiple records

When no other process action can get the job done, add customized functionality to your Salesforce process by calling an Apex method using Invocable method and variable
Invocable Method: These are used Apex methods that can be called from flows, process builder, REST API too. These methods are annotated with @Invocable Method.
this is have dynamic input and out put values.
Need to be remember some points:

Standard List Controller allows to display list of records in visual force page. Standard list controller provides additional pagination actions (First, Lat, Next & Previous) compared to standard controller.
Syntax: <apex:page standardController=”Account” recordSetVar=”accounts”>

How can you create VisualForce page in Salesforce?
We can create VisualForce pages in two ways.
1. From the setup menu go to Setup-> develop -> Build->Pages-> click on new button to create a page & enter name & code for VisualForce page.
2. From the VisualForce editor. Enter /apex/pagename at the URL & create new page in VisualForce editor.
Note: Records
1. Owned Records - Created by us
2. Shared Records - created by some one but shared with us
Ways to provide security
OWD - Organization Wide Defaults - Read/Write - Default all - Most Restrictive user access which is default for all users
Role Hierarchy - Read/Write - For Manager roles and sub roles
Sharing rules - Read/Write -
helps us share or open the data visibility to the other groups/roles/roles and sub ordinates on a condition sharing rules can never be stricter than your OWD settings
Manual Sharing - Read/Write - for any user queue/manually sharing the records with some other person If any unique situation comes up then also we can use Manual Sharing Manual Sharing button is enabled when OWD setting for that object is either Private or Public Read only
