Accessing Custom Settings in salesforce


Custom settings enables application developers to create custom sets of data, as well as create and associate custom data for an organization, profile, or specific user. All custom settings data is exposed in the application cache, which enables efficient access without the cost of repeated queries to the database. This data can then be used by formula fields, validation rules, Apex, and the SOAP API.

Using Custom Setting enables a developer to change the values in production without deploying the code again for the change in value.
Custom Settings can be used for URLS where URL may changes time to time and for the triggers which may have a requirement of deactivating and activating again.

How To Access Custom Settings

Methods used to get values-
  • getAll()
  • getValues(data_set_name)
  • getOrgDefaults()
  • getInstance(Profile_ID)



Step 1. Creating a custom setting and Custom field.





Step 2:- Click on Manage to insert data in custom setting. In this case we are adding custom URL which will be access by our code.





Step 3- Inserted Value in custom Setting.
