Mark Records as Recently Viewed

Use FOR VIEW to notify Salesforce when a record is viewed from a custom interface, such as a mobile application or from a custom page. Use FOR REFERENCE when a record is referenced from a custom interface. A record is referenced every time a related record is viewed. For more information, see “FOR VIEW” and “FOR REFERENCE” in the SOQL and SOSL Reference.
