Salesforce Salesforce-Associate Salesforce Certified Associate Exam (SP23) Exam Practice Test

 The Account and Contact objects have a lookup relationship. A lookup relationship is a type of relationship that links two objects together, but does not affect security, ownership, or deletion. A lookup relationship allows the user to select a record from another object and link it to the current record. For example, the Account field on the Contact object allows the user to select an account that the contact is related to. A self relationship is a type of lookup relationship that links an object to itself, creating a hierarchy of records. For example, the Reports To field on the Contact object allows the user to select another contact that the contact reports to. A master-detail relationship is a type of lookup relationship that creates a parent-child relationship between two objects, where the child records inherit the security and ownership of the parent record, and are deleted when the parent record is deleted. For example, the Account field on the Opportunity object is a master-detail relationship that links the opportunity to the account.

 The type of group that the associate should create to share records about a carpool program with users is a public group. A public group is a set of users that can be used to define sharing rules, queues, and other features that require a group of users. A public group can include individual users, other groups, roles, or territories. A public group can be used to share records with a specific group of users who are interested in the carpool program. A private group is a type of Chatter group that is not related to record sharing. A queue is a feature that allows users to manage leads, cases, and other objects as a team, but it is not suitable for sharing records about a carpool program.

Schema Builder is a tool that creates a visual representation of objects and their relationships, and allows you to modify them.

Wildcards and operators are symbols that can be used to search for records when the name of the record is not known. For example, the asterisk (*) can be used to match any string of characters, and the AND operator can be used to combine multiple terms.

The Trailblazer Community is the resource that the Salesforce associate should use to post a question that anyone around the globe who is familiar with Salesforce can answer.

Trailhead Academy is a resource that provides training courses, certifications, and learning paths for Salesforce users who want to enhance their skills and knowledge. Salesforce Help is a resource that provides documentation, guides, videos, and support for Salesforce users who need assistance with using or troubleshooting Salesforce products and features.

 The type of org that the associate should create from within Trailhead to quickly learn, practice, and develop Salesforce skills is a Playground. A Playground is a free, fully functional Salesforce org that you can use to test and explore the platform. You can create multiple Playgrounds from Trailhead and use them to complete hands-on challenges and projects1. A Developer Edition is a type of org that you can create from the Salesforce website, not from Trailhead. A Sandbox is a type of org that you can create from a production org as a copy of it for testing and development purposes

 The tool that GCC should use to build an integration between its financial system and its Salesforce environment is MuleSoft. MuleSoft is a platform that enables companies to connect any application, data, or device using APIs. MuleSoft helps GCC to create and manage integrations between Salesforce and other systems, such as its financial system, without writing any code. MuleSoft also provides prebuilt connectors, templates, and best practices to speed up the integration process

The best way for GCC to quickly verify if a performance incident has been reported on its instance of Salesforce is to check System Status on the Trust site. The Trust site is a website that provides real-time information on the availability, performance, security, and compliance of the Salesforce platform and services. GCC can use the Trust site to check the current and historical status of its instance, as well as to subscribe to notifications and alerts on any issues or maintenance events

The problem with creating the Astro©getdoudy.org username is that Salesforce usernames must be unique across all Salesforce orgs and that one is already in use. Salesforce usernames are global identifiers that allow users to log in to any Salesforce org or instance. Therefore, usernames cannot be duplicated or reused by different users

The approach that GCC should explore first to automate a process is a declarative approach, as it allows for quicker and simpler problem resolution. A declarative approach means that GCC can use point-and-click tools and drag-and-drop interfaces to create and modify applications, workflows, rules, and logic, without writing any code. This makes it easier and faster for GCC to build and customize solutions that meet its business needs, without requiring any programming skills or resources.

 The Contact object is where the associate should add the new employee record. The Contact object is used to store information about individuals who are associated with an account, such as name, phone, email, title, and role. The Contact object has a lookup relationship with the Account object, which allows the user to select an account that the contact is related to. The Accounts object is used to store information about companies or organizations that are customers, partners, or competitors. The Accounts object does not store information about individual employees. The Leads object is used to store information about potential customers who have shown interest in a product or service, but have not yet been qualified. The Leads object does not store information about existing employees.

The opportunities Kanban view is a visual summary of opportunities in a list view, where the associate can summarize, filter, and move opportunities along the pipeline by dragging and dropping them.

 Multitenant is the sharing type that shares a single, common infrastructure and code base. Multitenant means that multiple customers (tenants) share the same hardware, software, and infrastructure resources, but their data and configurations are isolated and secure. This allows Salesforce to deliver high performance, scalability, and availability to its customers4

 Salesforce Help is where the associate should go to understand the differences between the data types. Salesforce Help is a resource that provides documentation, guides, videos, and support for Salesforce users who need assistance with using or troubleshooting Salesforce products and features. Salesforce Help has a section called Data Types that explains the characteristics and use cases of each data type, such as text, number, date, picklist, checkbox, and so on. Customer Support is a service that provides technical support and assistance for Salesforce users who encounter issues or errors with Salesforce products and features. Customer Support is not a resource that explains the differences between the data types, but rather a resource that helps resolve problems or incidents. App Launcher is a feature that allows the user to access all the apps and objects in Salesforce, such as Sales, Service, Marketing, and so on. App Launcher is not a resource that explains the differences between the data types, but rather a feature that helps navigate the user interface.

The way that an end-user can access their personal settings is to click the profile icon in the header, then click Settings. This will open the Settings page, where the user can update their personal information, language and locale, email, display, security, and other settings. Clicking the gear icon in the header, then clicking Setup will open the Setup page, where the user can access the org-wide settings and features, but not their personal settings. Clicking the question mark icon in the header, then creating a Case will open the Help Center, where the user can get help and support, but not access their personal settings.

The Reports tab is where the associate should go to create a new report for Accounts. The Reports tab allows the user to create, view, edit, and run reports in Salesforce. The user can select a report type, such as Accounts, Accounts with Contacts, or Accounts with Opportunities, and then add filters, groupings, charts, and other features to customize the report. The Setup menu is where the user can configure the settings and customization of Salesforce, such as creating objects, fields, workflows, and security settings. The Accounts tab is where the user can view, create, edit, and delete account records in Salesforce.

 A gauge is a dashboard component type that shows a single value within a range of custom values. A gauge is useful for showing whether a metric, such as revenue or customer satisfaction, is within a desired range. For example, a gauge could show the current revenue as a needle pointing to a green, yellow, or red zone, indicating whether the revenue is above, below, or on target. A metric is a dashboard component type that shows a single value, such as the total number of accounts or the average deal size. A metric does not show a range of values. A chart is a dashboard component type that shows data in a graphical format, such as a pie chart, a bar chart, or a line chart. A chart is useful for showing the distribution or trend of data, but not a single value within a range.

The way that the associate can locate all the reports in a single location from the Report object is to click on All Folders and use the search bar. All Folders is a menu that shows all the report and dashboard folders that the associate has access to. The associate can search for the current month’s folder by entering its name or keyword in the search bar and then select it to view all the reports in that folder. Using the Global search bar or clicking on All Reports and using the search bar are not as efficient and accurate as using the All Folders menu, because they will return results from all the reports and folders, not just the current month’s folder.

 The person that the associate would typically work with to get a new field added in their Salesforce org is a Salesforce Administrator. A Salesforce Administrator is someone who configures and manages the Salesforce platform for their organization. They can create and customize objects, fields, layouts, reports, dashboards, and other features to meet the specific needs of their users

 Converting the Region field to a picklist field is the recommended action to ensure there is correct data for this field. A picklist field allows the user to select a value from a predefined list of values, which ensures data consistency and accuracy. For example, the Region field could have values such as North America, Europe, Asia, and so on. Creating a validation rule to enforce correct spelling would not work, because it would not prevent the field from being blank, and it would not account for different spellings or variations of the same region. Emailing users a list of region names with correct spelling would not work, because it would rely on the users to manually enter the correct values, which is prone to human error and inconsistency.

 Permission sets are used to grant additional access to users based on their functional or departmental needs. A permission set can be assigned to multiple users, regardless of their profile. A permission set can include field-level security settings that allow edit access to specific fields on an object. Queues are used to group records and assign them to a team of users who can work on them. Public groups are used to group users, roles, or other groups for the purpose of sharing records or sending email.

The thing that they should do to add the missing information to the custom Contact list view is to select Fields to Display. Fields to Display is an option that allows the user to customize which columns appear in the list view, based on the fields that are associated with the object. The user can access the Fields to Display option by clicking on the List View Controls menu and then clicking on Select Fields to Display. There, they can add, remove, and reorder the fields that they want to see in the list view. Editing sharing settings or editing list filters are not the correct actions to add the missing information to the list view, because they affect the visibility and the criteria of the records, not the columns.
