Salesforce ADM-201 Salesforce Certified Administrator (SP23) Exam Practice Test

A junction object is a type of custom object that allows administrators to create many-to-many relationships between two other objects. A many-to-many relationship means that each record of one object can be related to multiple records of another object, and vice versa. For example, a junction object can represent that a contact can be interested in multiple pieces of merchandise, and a piece of merchandise can be of interest to multiple contacts. A junction object has two master-detail relationships with the two objects it connects. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.relationships_manytomany.htm &type=5

Grant access using Hierarchies is a setting that can be used to configure the custom object to meet this requirement. Grant access using Hierarchies determines whether access to records of the custom object is granted through the role hierarchy. If this setting is unchecked, managers are unable to see the feedback records from their staff, unless they are given access by other means, such as sharing rules or manual sharing. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_sharing_owd_custom_objects.htm &type=5

Knowledge articles are documents that provide information or solutions about products, services, or processes in Salesforce. You can use knowledge articles to respond to customers quickly and consistently with accurate information. You can create different types of articles with different templates and fields, such as FAQ articles, troubleshooting articles, how-to articles, etc. To meet the requirement of responding to customers with the top five troubleshooting tips that could help solve their issue, you need to create knowledge articles with those tips and attach them to your email responses or case comments. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.knowledge_article_types.htm &type=5

Account and contact are two records that can be created when using the lead conversion process. The lead conversion process converts a lead into an account, a contact, and optionally, an opportunity. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.convert_lead.htm &type=5

Permission sets are used to grant additional permissions and access settings to individual users without changing their profiles or requiring a new profile to be created. You can use permission sets to extend users’ functional access without changing their existing profiles. To meet the request of giving comprehensive edit access on Campaigns to a few marketing users who have read-only access by default, you need to create a permission set with edit access on Campaigns and assign it to those users. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.perm_sets_overview.htm &type=5

Validation rules allow you to prevent users from changing an opportunity close date to a date in the past.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.validation_rules.htm &type=5

Permissions and tab visibility are two options that administrators can adjust to fully restrict access to records for certain users or profiles. Permissions determine what users can do with records, such as create, read, edit, delete, view all, or modify all. Tab visibility determines whether users can see a specific object tab in their app launcher or navigation bar. By setting permissions and tab visibility to none or hidden for deal records for service users or profiles, administrators can prevent them from accessing deal records via search or other methods. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.users_profiles_permissions.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_tabs.htm &type=5

A sales process is a set of stages that an opportunity goes through as it moves from creation to close. It can be customized by administrators to match different business models or product lines within an org. Creating a new sales process can help Dreamhouse Realty define a different set of stages for its new home concierge offering that is unlike anything the company has offered in the past and follows a different business model. Creating a quick action, a new approval process, or a new opportunity product are not solutions for creating a customized sales process; they are used for different purposes such as creating records, approving records, or adding products to opportunities. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_salesprocess.htm &type=5

A validation rule is a feature that allows administrators to define criteria for data entry or import operations and display an error message when those criteria are not met. For example, a validation rule can ensure that house showings are scheduled within the current year by comparing the showing date field with a formula that returns the current year. If the showing date field contains a date outside of the current year, then the validation rule will prevent users from saving or importing records with an error message. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_about_validation_rules.htm &type=5

To help sales reps prioritize and close more deals, the administrator should use Einstein Opportunity Scoring, which is a feature that assigns each opportunity a score from 1 to 99 based on how likely it is to be won. The score is calculated using historical data and machine learning models, and can help reps focus on the most promising opportunities and take actions to improve their chances of winning. Einstein Activity Capture, Einstein Search Personalization, and Einstein Lead Scoring are not related to opportunity management. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.einstein_sales_oppty_scoring.htm &type=5

The AppExchange is an online marketplace where customers can find apps, components, consultants, developers, and more to extend Salesforce functionality or solve specific business challenges. Some of the actions that can be accomplished via AppExchange are finding certified developers and consultants who can help with custom development or implementation projects; installing industry-specific solution templates that provide preconfigured apps, dashboards, reports etc., for various industries such as manufacturing or healthcare; downloading free tools or components that enhance productivity or user experience; browsing reviews or ratings from other customers who have used certain products or services; etc. References: https://appexchange.salesforce.com/

Making a field universally required is a way to ensure that the field needs to be filled on every record; it prevents users from saving a record without entering a value in that field. It can be used to ensure that the billing system field needs to be filled on every invoice record by making it universally required in the field settings. Creating a process builder to set the field, defining an approval process for the child, or requiring the field on the record type are not ways to ensure that the field needs to be filled on every record; they either do not enforce data entry or only apply to certain scenarios or users. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_fields.htm &type=5

Campaign Status is a standard picklist field on the Campaign object that indicates whether a campaign is planned, in progress, completed, or aborted. Campaign Member Status is a custom picklist field on the Campaign Member object that indicates how a person responded to a campaign, such as sent, responded, registered, attended, etc. To add a new picklist value for Campaign Status, you need to edit the field in Object Manager. To add a new picklist value for Campaign Member Status, you need to modify the field on the Campaign Member Statuses related list on the Campaign page layout. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.campaigns_fields.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.campaigns_member_status.htm &type=5

To test the impact of a critical update before it is auto-activated, you should activate it in a sandbox first. This way, you can verify that your customizations and integrations work as expected without affecting your production org.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.admin_critical_updates.htm &type=5

App page and record page are two types of pages that an administrator can build and customize using Lightning App Builder for Salesforce mobile app. App pages are pages that display information or tools that don’t belong to a specific record; they can be accessed from navigation menus or tabs in Salesforce mobile app. Record pages are pages that display information or actions related to a specific record; they can be accessed by opening any record in Salesforce mobile app. User page and dashboard page are not types of pages that can be built using Lightning App Builder for Salesforce mobile app; they are types of pages that can be built using other tools such as Profile settings or Dashboard Builder. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.app_builder_mobile_pages.htm &type=5

The Opportunity Stage Duration report is a standard report that shows how long opportunities spend in each stage before they are closed. It can be used to measure the average stage duration for all closed opportunities by grouping and summarizing the data by stage name and duration fields. Using process builder to capture the daily average on each opportunity is not feasible because it would require creating multiple fields and formulas on the opportunity object and updating them every day. Adding formula fields to track stages on each opportunity is also not practical because it would require creating multiple fields and formulas on the opportunity object and maintaining them every time a stage changes. Refreshing weekly reporting snapshots for closed opportunities is not necessary because the report can run on real-time data without snapshots. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.reports_opportunity_stage_duration_report.htm &type=5

Two options that should be added to Lightning record pages to make sales reps aware when they are speaking with high-profile customers are:

• Custom Component, which can display a custom message or icon on the record page based on certain criteria such as account rating or industry. For example, an administrator can create a custom Lightning Web Component that shows a star icon on account record pages if account rating is Hot or Warm.
• Component Visibility Filter, which can control when a component is visible on a record page based on field values of that record. For example, an administrator can add a component visibility filter to an existing component such as Path or Highlights Panel that makes it visible only if account rating is Hot or Warm. Highlight Panel, Action and Recommendations, and Rich Text Area are not options that can be used to make sales reps aware when they are speaking with high-profile customers. References: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/en/lwc/lwc.create_components https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.dynamic_forms_component_visibility.htm&type=5

Knowledge is a feature that can be used to meet this requirement. Knowledge allows users to create, manage, and share articles that provide information and solutions for common issues or questions. Data categories can be used to organize articles into different topics and make them easier to find and access. Users can view related articles from the Case page layout based on the data category of the case. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.knowledge_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.knowledge_categories.htm &type=5

To allow a user to add new Campaign Members or update Member statuses, the administrator should make sure that Marketing User Checkbox is checked on the user record page. This checkbox enables users to create, edit, and delete campaigns, configure advanced campaign setup, import leads, manage campaign members, and update campaign history via mass update. The checkbox also requires users to have Read and Edit permissions on campaigns and leads/contacts. Creating a permission set, providing access to both Leads and Contacts, or running a Campaign report will not enable users to manage Campaign Members. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.campaigns_enable.htm &type=5

Web-to-Case and Email-to-Case are two solutions that allow customers to create cases from a web form or an email. Web-to-Case generates HTML code for a web form that you can place on your website. Email-to-Case converts incoming emails into cases.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customizesupport_web_to_case.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customizesupport_email_to_case.htm &type=5

A custom profile is a profile that can be created and customized by administrators to define what users can see and do in Salesforce based on their job function or role. It can be used by Cloud Kicks to give read, create, and edit access for objects and restrict users from deleting any records by creating and assigning a custom profile with delete access removed for each object in the object settings. Assigning the standard system administrator profile to analytical user, giving user view all access and assigning them to highest role in role hierarchy, or creating and assigning permission set that includes read, create, and edit access are not solutions for giving read, create, and edit access for objects and restricting users from deleting any records; they either give too much access or do not remove delete access. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.users_profiles.htm &type=5

Delegated approver is a feature that should be used to fulfill this requirement. Delegated approver allows users to delegate their approval authority to another user for a specified period of time, such as when they are out on vacation. Users can specify which approval requests they want to delegate and who they want to delegate them to. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.approvals_delegate.htm &type=5

Flow Builder supports creating a screen that can launch a simple discount calculator when a button is clicked on an opportunity.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_builder_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_distribute_button.htm &type=5

A pending Chatter post is a post that has been scheduled to be published at a future date and time. However, if the user who created the pending Chatter post is deactivated before the scheduled date and time, then the pending Chatter post will be canceled and will not be published. This is because deactivated users cannot create or edit posts in Chatter. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.collab_scheduled_posts.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.collab_deactivated_users.htm &type=5

Data Import Wizard allows you to import up to 50,000 records at a time.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_importer.htm &type=5

To debug a screen flow that creates contacts, one of the possible causes for a variable missing on the debug screen is that the available for input checkbox was unchecked for that variable. This means that variable cannot be set by external sources such as debug inputs or URL parameters. To fix this issue, check this checkbox for any variable that needs to be set externally. The flow version or field type does not affect variable availability for input. The available for output checkbox only affects whether variables can be passed out of flows or subflows. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_ref_variables.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_debugging.htm &type=5

Compact layouts determine which fields appear in the highlights panel on record pages and in the Salesforce mobile app. To create a custom compact layout, go to the Account object manager and select Compact Layouts from the sidebar menu. Then click New and add the desired fields to the layout. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.compact_layouts_create.htm &type=5

Contract is a standard object that represents a contractual agreement between your company and a customer. Case is a standard object that represents a customer’s question or problem that needs to be resolved by your support team. Account is a standard object that represents an individual or an organization involved in your business, such as customers, competitors, partners, etc. These three objects are commonly used for service use cases in Salesforce. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.contract_fields.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.case_fields.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.account_fields.htm &type=5

A lookup relationship is a type of relationship that links two objects together, but does not affect security or deletion. It can be used to create a relationship between shipments and accounts where shipments should have a lookup to accounts; this way, shipments can show related account information on their records, but when an account is deleted, the shipments remain. Accounts should have a lookup to shipments is not a valid option because it does not match the requirement of seeing all shipment items from an account page; it would show related account information on shipment records instead. Shipments should have a master-detail to accounts or accounts should have a master-detail to shipments are not valid options either because they do not match the requirement of keeping shipments when an account is deleted; they would delete shipments along with their master account records. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.relationships_lookup.htm &type=5

Assignment rules are tools that allow administrators to automatically route records to users or queues based on certain criteria. For example, an assignment rule can assign cases to different queues based on case priority, origin, type, or other fields. Assignment rules can be triggered when records are created manually, via email, web, or API. Assignment rules consist of multiple rule entries that define the criteria and actions for each assignment scenario. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_leadrules.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_casesupport_assign.htm &type=5

Flow Builder supports creating a scheduled flow that can run at specified intervals and perform actions on a set of records that meet certain criteria.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_builder_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_concepts_scheduled_start.htm &type=5

Flow Solutions are pre-built flows or templates that can be installed from AppExchange and customized to meet specific business needs. For example, Flow Solutions can provide common use cases such as lead generation, document generation, payment processing, and more. In this case, the administrator can use a Flow Solution that provides a mortgage calculator and generates leads for loans. Flow Solutions are easy to install and configure, and can help save time and budget for projects. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_solutions.htm &type=5

To transfer data from a lead custom field to an opportunity field upon lead conversion, an administrator needs to create a custom field on the opportunity object that matches the data type and length of the lead custom field, and then map the two fields using the lead field mapping tool under setup. This will ensure that the value of the product category field on the lead is copied to the corresponding field on the opportunity when the lead is converted. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.leads_customize_map.htm &type=5

Big Deal Alerts allow you to notify users when an opportunity reaches a certain amount or probability.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.forecasts3_big_deal_alerts.htm &type=5

Permission sets are a flexible way to grant additional access to users without changing their profiles. To provide access to the lead object for a team of support users, create a permission set that includes the appropriate object and field permissions for leads, and then assign it to the users. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.perm_sets_overview.htm &type=5

Maximum invalid login attempts, password complexity requirements, and number of days until expiration are three password policies that an administrator can configure to encourage employees to choose secure and appropriate passwords for their Salesforce accounts. Maximum invalid login attempts determines how many times a user can enter an incorrect password before being locked out of Salesforce. Password complexity requirements determine how complex a user’s password must be based on criteria such as length, case sensitivity, alphanumeric characters, etc. Number of days until expiration determines how often users must change their passwords. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_password_policies.htm &type=5

The Assignment Rule checkbox is a checkbox that appears on manual case creation pages when assignment rules are defined for cases. The Assignment Rule checkbox determines whether or not to apply assignment rules to manually created cases. If the Assignment Rule checkbox is selected by default, then any manually created cases will be assigned according to assignment rules instead of being owned by the agent creating them. To prevent this from happening, an administrator can either deselect the Assignment Rule checkbox when creating cases manually; or change the default setting for this checkbox under setup by selecting or deselecting Use active assignment rules by default. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_casesupport_assign.htm &type=5

Einstein Opportunity Scoring is a feature that helps sales reps prioritize and close more deals by assigning each opportunity a score from 1 to 99 based on how likely it is to be won. The score is calculated using artificial intelligence and machine learning based on historical data and patterns from similar opportunities. Sales reps can use the score to focus on high-value opportunities and take actions to improve low-scoring ones. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.einstein_sales_oppty_scoring.htm &type=5

Business hours are used to specify the days and hours when your company’s employees work. You can create multiple sets of business hours for different time zones or regions and assign them to users based on their location or function. To meet the requirement of having different business hours for reps on pacific time and eastern time, you need to create one set of business hours per time zone and assign them accordingly. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_supporthours.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_supporthours_assign.htm &type=5

Recurring tasks are tasks that repeat at regular intervals, such as daily, weekly, monthly, etc. They can be created by users who have the permission to create recurring tasks, which can be enabled by administrators in the user profile settings. Flow, workflow rule, and recurring activities are not valid options for creating recurring tasks in Salesforce. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.tasks_recurring.htm &type=5

A Trailhead Playground is a free, online learning environment that allows you to try out Salesforce features and apps. You can use a Trailhead Playground to test out an app from the AppExchange before you install it in your production org.

A sandbox is a copy of your production org that you can use to test changes and new features. You can install an app from the AppExchange in a sandbox to see how it works in your environment.

Testing an app in a production org is not recommended, as it could affect your live data. Checking edition compatibility is important, but it is not a way to try out an app.

One thing that an administrator should be aware of before changing an auto-number field to text field is that this change is prevented by Salesforce; it cannot be done because it would cause data loss and inconsistency. Auto-number fields are fields that automatically assign unique numeric values to each record; they cannot be changed to text fields because text fields do not have this functionality and may allow duplicate or invalid values. Existing field values remaining unchanged, being converted, or being deleted are not things that would happen before changing an auto-number field to text field because this change cannot happen at all. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_about_auto_number.htm &type=5

Utility bar is a feature that is available in a Lightning app where visibility is limited to the Salesforce mobile app. Utility bar allows users to access common productivity tools, such as notes, history, recent items, and more, from any page in the app. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.app_builder_utility_bar.htm &type=5

Two functions that an administrator should use when creating a validation rule are:

• Error condition formula, which defines when an error should occur based on record fields and values
• Error message location, which specifies where on the page layout an error message should appear when triggered by an error condition formula Formula return type and rule active date are not functions used for validation rules. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.validation_rules_overview.htm&type=5

Probability is a standard percentage field on the Opportunity object that indicates how likely an opportunity will close successfully. It is automatically calculated based on the opportunity stage unless you make it editable on page layouts. To allow sales reps to change the probability field value of their opportunities, you need to make the field editable on page layouts. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.opportunity_fields.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_layoutedit.htm &type=5

Opportunity contact roles allow you to track ROI for contacts that are key stakeholders for opportunities. You need to customize the contact role field and add the related list to the opportunity page layout.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.opportunity_contact_roles.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_opportunity_contact_role.htm &type=5

To show different picklist values for sales and marketing users, you can either use record types or profiles. Record types allow you to have different picklist values for different page layouts assigned to different profiles. Profiles allow you to restrict picklist values based on user permissions.

References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_recordtype.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.admin_profile_picklists.htm &type=5

Role hierarchy and sharing rules are two features that should be used to open up access to Opportunity records for sales users working on collaborative deals. Role hierarchy can be used to grant access to records owned by or shared with users who are below them in the hierarchy. Sharing rules can be used to extend sharing access to users in public groups, roles, or territories based on certain criteria, such as record owner or field value. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.admin_sharing.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_sharing_rules.htm &type=5

To require users to follow the status values as they are on the path and prevent them from reverting back to previous status values, the administrator should use validation rules that check if the status field value is changed from one value to another value that is not allowed by business logic. For example, if status values are New > In Progress > Closed, then a validation rule can check if status is changed from Closed to In Progress or New, and show an error message if true. Predefined Field Values, Global Value Picklists, and Dependent Picklists are not able to enforce status progression or prevent status reversion. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.validation_rules_overview.htm &type=5

An escalation rule is a tool that allows administrators to automatically escalate cases based on certain criteria and time triggers. For example, an escalation rule can change the owner of a case, send an email notification, or update a field value when a case has been open for more than 7 days. An escalation rule consists of multiple rule entries that define the criteria and actions for each escalation scenario. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.case_escalation.htm &type=5

To display the screen flow, the administrator should create a tab and add the screen flow to the page. The administrator can also use a flow element and add the screen flow to the record page.

The other options are not relevant to this scenario. Adding the flow in the utility bar of the console will not display the screen flow. Installing an app from the AppExchange is not necessary to display the screen flow.

Here are the steps on how to create a tab and add the screen flow to the page:

• Go to Setup > Tabs.
• Click New.
• Enter a name and label for the tab.
• Select the Screen Flow tab type.
• Select the screen flow that you want to display.
• Click Save.

Here are the steps on how to use a flow element and add the screen flow to the record page:

• Go to Setup > Customize > Lightning App Builder.
• Select the record page that you want to add the screen flow to.
• Click Edit.
• Drag the Flow element from the Palette to the canvas.
• Select the screen flow that you want to display.
• Click Save.

To automate an outbound message, the administrator should use a workflow rule that defines the criteria for sending the message and the actions to perform when those criteria are met. One of the actions available for workflow rules is sending an outbound message to a designated endpoint URL with specified fields as parameters. Process builder, task assignment, and flow builder are not able to send outbound messages directly. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.workflow_define.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.workflow_action_outboundmessaging.htm &type=5

When you delete a custom field, the data in that field is stored for 20 days before it is permanently deleted. During this time, you can restore the field and its data from the Recycle Bin or use Data Loader to export the data. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_del_field.htm &type=5

Case escalation rules are a way to automatically escalate cases that meet certain criteria, such as being open for more than a specified time or having a certain priority. Escalation rules can assign cases to a different owner or queue and send email notifications to the support manager or other recipients. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.case_escalation.htm &type=5

A validation rule is a tool that allows administrators to enforce data quality and integrity by preventing users from saving records that do not meet certain criteria or conditions. For example, a validation rule can display an error message if a user enters an invalid value in a field. In this case, the administrator can create a validation rule on the account object that displays an error if the account annual revenue field is below 0 or greater than 100 billion. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.validation_rules.htm &type=5

To create a contact and an opportunity from a lead that is associated with a campaign, and keep the campaign member history, the administrator should convert the lead from the campaign member detail page. This will automatically create a contact, an account, and an opportunity that are linked to the campaign. Deleting, cloning, or adding a contact will not preserve the campaign member history. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.campaigns_leads.htm &type=5

Flow builder is an automation tool that allows administrators to create flows that guide users through screens, collect data, and perform actions on records. It can be used to simplify the account creation process by creating a screen flow that shows only the essential fields for creating an account and hides any unnecessary fields or sections from the page layout. Approval process, workflow rule, and validation rule are not automation tools that can simplify the account creation process; they are used for different purposes such as approving records, updating fields, or enforcing data quality. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_builder.htm &type=5

To track assigned licenses and permission sets in Salesforce instead of using a spreadsheet, an administrator should use User Report type on Report object. User Report type allows creating reports that show information about users such as their profile, role, license type, active status, login history etc. It also allows adding fields related to permission sets such as Permission Set Assignments or Permission Set License Assignments. For example, an administrator can create a User Report that shows user name, profile name, user license name, permission set assignments count etc. Login History, Lightning Usage App, or Permission Set Groups are not features that can be used to track assigned licenses and permission sets in Salesforce. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.reports_report_types_standard_user.htm &type=5

Record types and sales processes allow you to have different page layouts, fields, required fields, and picklist values for different types of opportunities.

Picklist values, help text, and decimal places are three aspects of standard fields that an administrator can customize to suit their business needs. Picklist values are the options that users can choose from a picklist field; they can be added, edited, or deleted by administrators. Help text is the text that appears when users hover over a field; it can be customized by administrators to provide additional information or guidance for users. Decimal places are the number of digits that appear after the decimal point in a number or currency field; they can be changed by administrators to adjust the precision of the field values. Field history tracking and field name are not aspects of standard fields that can be customized; they are only available for custom fields. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_picklists.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_fields_edit.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_fields_number.htm &type=5

Lightning pages are custom layouts that let you design pages for your Salesforce org using Lightning App Builder. You can assign different Lightning pages for different apps, record types, and profiles using Lightning page assignments. To meet the requirement of displaying different Lightning pages for Accounts in Sales Console and Service Console, you need to assign Lightning pages as app default for each app. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.lightning_page_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.lightning_page_assignments.htm &type=5

A validation rule is a feature that allows administrators to define criteria for data entry or import operations and display an error message when those criteria are not met. For example, a validation rule can require users to select a product type or check a needs review box when saving an opportunity by using an OR function that evaluates both fields. If neither field is populated, then the validation rule will prevent users from saving records with an error message.

The Stage Setup Flow is a tool that allows administrators to customize stages for leads and opportunities based on best practices from Salesforce experts. The Stage Setup Flow guides administrators through a series of questions about their sales process and then creates or updates stages for leads or opportunities accordingly. The Stage Setup Flow also provides tips and resources for each stage such as key fields, guidance for success, reports and dashboards, etc. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.stages_setup_flow_overview.htm &type=5

The equals operator is an operator that compares two values and returns true if they are equal or false if they are not equal; it can be used in decision elements in flow builder to check if two values match certain criteria. The {!$GlobalConstant.True} value is a global constant value that represents true in flow builder; it can be used in decision elements in flow builder as one of the values being compared. Using equals operator and {!$GlobalConstant.True} as value can help Cloud Kicks update screen flow so that if checkbox field High Value Customer is set true first screen is skipped by using equals operator compare High Value Customer field value with {!$GlobalConstant.True} value in decision element output connector conditions; if condition is met first screen is skipped else first screen is shown. Using equals operator “High Value Customer” as value contains operator {!$GlobalConstant.False} as value contains operator “High Value Customer” as value are not valid options for updating screen flow skip first screen if checkbox field High Value Customer is set true because they either use wrong values wrong operators compare checkbox field values.

Setup audit trail is a tool that allows administrators to review recent configuration changes made in their org. It shows a list of up to 180 days of setup changes made by anyone in the org, including the date, time, user, and type of change. It can help administrators track who made what changes and when, and troubleshoot any issues caused by configuration changes. Critical updates are notifications that inform administrators of new features or enhancements that may impact their org; they do not show configuration changes made by users. Debug logs are records of database operations, system processes, and errors that occur when executing a transaction or running unit tests; they do not show configuration changes made by users either. Field history tracking is a feature that allows administrators to track changes to the values of certain fields on records; it does not show configuration changes made in setup.

To protect data with backups by using Data Export Service, two considerations that the administrator should remember when scheduling export are:

• Data Backups are limited to weekly or monthly intervals depending on edition and license type
• Metadata backups must be run via a separate process such as Metadata API or change sets because Data Export Service only exports data (records) Metadata backups are not limited by sandbox refresh intervals. Data Export Service should be run from production orgs unless testing purposes require otherwise. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_export.htm&type=5

Auto response rules are a way to automatically send email responses to leads or cases based on certain criteria such as lead source, industry, etc. They can be used to send personalized emails whenever a lead fills out a web-to-lead form on a website and send different messages based on the lead industry field value. Using validation rule to trigger workflow to email the lead is not possible because validation rules cannot trigger workflows or send emails; they only prevent records from being saved if they do not meet certain criteria. Adding a public group and process builder to email the lead is unnecessary because auto response rules can handle this requirement without additional configuration or customization. Creating an assignment rule to email the lead is also unnecessary because assignment rules are used to assign leads or cases to users or queues based on certain criteria, not send emails; although they can have email alerts as part of their actions, they are not as flexible as auto response rules for personalizing email messages.

A list view is a feature that allows users to filter and display records based on certain criteria and fields. A Kanban view is a feature that allows users to view records as cards organized by columns that represent stages in a process such as opportunity stages or case statuses. Users can switch between list view and Kanban view by clicking on a toggle button on any object tab that supports Kanban view such as opportunities or cases. Users can also edit records by dragging and dropping cards from one column to another or by clicking on an inline edit icon on each card. In this case, the administrator can create a list view on the opportunity object that filters opportunities by expected close date in the next 90 days; and recommend users switch the view to Kanban to edit opportunities by drag and drop.

The login history is a tool that allows administrators and users to view information about recent login attempts, such as date, time, status, source IP address, browser type, platform, application, and login type. Administrators can use this tool to identify why a user is unable to login to Salesforce by checking for any failed login attempts and their corresponding error messages or reasons.

A user with manager role above the agent can change ownership on multiple cases that are owned by the agent or by users below the agent in the role hierarchy. A user with the System Administrator profile can change ownership on any case, regardless of the owner or role hierarchy.

One scenario that could prevent an administrator from changing the relationship between work item and project custom objects from master-detail to lookup is that roll-up summary fields exist on the master object (project). Roll-up summary fields are fields that calculate values from related records in a master-detail relationship; they cannot be used in a lookup relationship. If roll-up summary fields exist on the project object, they would prevent the administrator from changing the relationship type unless they are deleted first. A junction object is not required to support a lookup relationship; it is only used when creating many-to-many relationships between two objects using two master-detail relationships. The lookup field in all the records containing a value or the lookup field being required for saving records are not scenarios that would prevent changing the relationship type; they are scenarios that would allow changing the relationship type without losing data or functionality.

To access the account object in Salesforce, users need to have permission to the account object on their profile or permission set. Permission to an object determines what users can do with records of that object, such as create, read, edit, delete, view all, or modify all. If users do not have permission to an object, they will not be able to see or access that object in Salesforce.

Data Export Wizard allows administrators to export data from Salesforce in CSV files. It can be used to export data for backup purposes or to analyze data in external tools. Data Import Wizard is used to import data into Salesforce, not export. Data Loader is a desktop tool that can also export data, but it is more complex and requires installation. Report Builder is used to create reports in Salesforce, not export data. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_export.htm &type=5
