Interview Questions for Salesforce Administrators

Hi, Welcome Back.
Is your company currently looking for a Salesforce Administrator? If yes, then you need to asked them correct questions so you get the right candidate and not someone you need to teach.

A Salesforce Administrator should have knowledge of Validation Rules, Objects, Fields, Workflow Rules, User Profiles and General Knowledge. So I have prepared questions to ask interviewee  about Salesforce.com. This may even help people who are going to the interview for a salesforce.com administrator position.
Lets Start:
  1. What is the difference between Lookup Relationship and Master-Detail Relationship?
  2. True or False? If you were to delete a record that had a lookup to a child object, all child object records would get deleted as well.
  3. Where is the view Account hierarchy link?
  4. What does the Account Hierarchy tell or do?
  5. Where can you make a field required?
  6. What actions can you call with Process Builder?
  7. What type of Workflow Alerts are there?
  8. Validation Rules, What are they use for in Salesforce?
  9. What is Dataloader?
  10. What is the difference between Profiles and Roles in Salesforce.com?
  11. What one standard object in Salesforce is a conjunction object?
This is what I have so far, but stay tune I shall come up with more.

Thanks
Give me feedback or post some questions that I missed out on.

  4. 1 que answer :
    Master – Detail Relationship :
    1. We cannot create master – detail relationship type fields directly if records already exists. Instead we have to first create Look up fields then fill all the records with that lookup filed. After that we can convert the lookup fields to master – detail relationship.
    2. If we delete master records then detail (Child) records are deleted.
    3. It creates the parent(master) child(Detail) relationship between objects.
    Look up relationship :
    1. Look up relationship creates relations between two objects.
    2. If we delete any object then other object is not deleted

    2. 3 ways of making the field mandatory are:-

      Page Layout:- Field can be made mandatory from the page layout when it needs to be made mandatory for a set of users
      Field Level Security:- Field can be made mandatory from the FLS when it needs to be made mandatory for all the users in the Organization and even from the API’s
      Validation Rule:- Field can be made mandatory from the Validation Rule when it needs to be made mandatory for user who is using the same Page layout used by other users
      Salesforce.com recommends using the Page Layput option for making the field mandatory.

    2. Hey crazycse,

      1) You can find Account Hierarchy in the Accounts Detail page, just below Account Name if, the layout hasn't been compromised.

      2) Hierarchy tells you about the hierarchy of the Account, Its parent Account, Grand Parent as well(Parent of Current Parent) hence it become easier to understand, where does it stand etc etc.
      Try clicking the Hierarchy link once you fill in the Parent Account, you'll have better understanding i guess.

      Hope it helps :)

  37. WorkFlow Alerts ARE:

  38. Define a validation rule by specifying an error condition and a corresponding error message. The error condition is written as a Boolean formula expression that returns true or false. When the formula expression returns true, the save will be aborted and the error message will be displayed. The user can correct the error and try again.
