Data Modelling :Creating object relationship

Note: All credit goes to Salesforce, I am just a developer who enjoy playing trailhead and try to make note to myself.

Types of Object Relationship


  1. Lookup
    • relationship that links one object to another object.
    • can be used to create 1:1 or 1:M relationship
  2. Master Detail
    • parent:child relationship.
    • master record controls certain behavior of the details or subdetail record.
    • ownership and sharing is determined by master record.
    • when master record is deleted,the detail also will be deleted along with it.
    • master detail relationship always required on detail record.
    • use for tight binding between two objects
    • master object can also contain rollup summary field.

Differences between Lookup and Master detail relationships


  1. Master detail relationship
    • cannot create detail without master
    • detail is also deleted when master is deleted
    • the sharing rules is inherited from the master record
    • number of master detail relationships are limited based on platform edition and licence
    • can't set profile object permission for a detail record.The details record inherits permissions from the master record
    • master-detail relationship are automatically included in  report record types
  2. Lookup relationship
    • to reference commonly shared data, such as reference data
    • to relate multiple parent records to the child record
    • to link two objects together when you don't want the behavior of the master-detail relationships such as sharing rules,profile permission and cascade delete.
    • if the details object has its own tab, then look up is the choice.

Tips and Tricks : Test class for Invocable method

Issue : I got 100% coverage in my sandbox but when run validation for deployment it returns 0% coverage It turn out that in my sandbox, I am depending on Process Builder to Invocable Apex class, as long I manipulate test data that fire Process Builder it will call Invocable class. This is not useful when deploying it to Production although it gets deployed together with Process Builder. The correct way is to direct call Invocable method inside test class itself. Example of class : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 global class MyCustomObject_StatusUpdate_Util { @InvocableMethod ( label = ' Update Quote Status ' ) public static void updateQuote ( Request [] requests ) { Set < Id > setOppId = new Set < Id >(); List < SBQQ__Quote__c > listQuoteToUpdate = new List < SBQQ__Quote__c >(); for ( Request request : requests ) {
