To increase adoption, Universal Containers is proposing changes to its Salesforce data model to allow easier visibility for sales reps into key metrics. The proposal has three custom objects related to the Account object, one with a master-detail, and two that are not. Each of these objects has 15 fields they would like to summarize on the Account object. What are two considerations for this proposal?
(Choose 2 answers)


A. Roll-up summaries allow MAX, MIN, SUM, COUNT, and AVG.


B. An object can have 20 object references.


C. An object can have 25 roll-up summaries.


D. Roll-up summaries are limited to master-detail relationships





A.
  Roll-up summaries allow MAX, MIN, SUM, COUNT, and AVG.

D.
  Roll-up summaries are limited to master-detail relationships

Explanation: Roll-up summaries allow MAX, MIN, SUM, COUNT, and AVG functions on numeric fields from child records related by a master-detail relationship. Roll-up summaries are limited to master-detail relationships and cannot be used with lookup relationships. An object can have up to 40 roll-up summary fields, not 25. An object can have up to 25 relationship fields (master-detail or lookup), not 20.

A.
  Create an approval process on the Contract object with criteria set on a second approval step set as 'Amount__c > 10,000' and set the approver as director.

C.
  Create a validation rule on the Contract object that prevents updates to the contract record while it is being reviewed.

Explanation:
The app builder should use two options to ensure all contracts route for the correct approval and also prevent the sales rep from making changes to the record while it is being approved:
Create an approval process on the Contract object with criteria set on a second approval step set as ‘Amount__c > 10,000’ and set the approver as director. An approval process is a type of process that automates how Salesforce records are approved in an organization. An approval process can have multiple steps with different criteria and approvers. In this case, the app builder can create an approval process on the Contract object with two steps: one for the sales manager approval and one for the director approval if the contract amount is over $10,0001. Create a validation rule on the Contract object that prevents updates to the contract record while it is being reviewed. A validation rule is a type of rule that checks data quality by verifying that the data in a record meets certain standards before it can be saved. A validation rule can prevent users from making changes to a record that is in a certain status or stage. In this case, the app builder can create a validation rule on the Contract object that prevents updates to the contract record if its Approval Status field is not equal to Not Submitted2. Option B and D are not options that can ensure all contracts route for the correct approval and also prevent the sales rep from making changes to the record while it is being approved.

Cloud Kicks asked the app builder to insert a list of 25,000 records using deduplication for the Race_Track__c customobject. Which tool should be used?


A. Import Wizard


B. Lightning Object Creator


C. Data Loader


D. Schema Builder





A.
  Import Wizard

Explanation: To insert a list of 25,000 records using deduplication for the Race_Track__c custom object, an app builder should use Data Loader. Data Loader is a tool that allows users to insert, update, delete, or export large amounts of data in Salesforce. Data Loader can also perform deduplication by matching records based on external ID fields or Salesforce record IDs.

Universal Containers (UC) requires that all users specify a contract is sent on each Opportunity prior to marking it as "Closed Won". UC wants to be able to report on how many Opportunities have sent Contracts compared to how many have a missing contract when the Opportunities closed. Which field type should an app builder configure to fulfill this requirement?


A. Text


B. Text Area


C. Picklise


D. Checkbox





D.
  Checkbox

Explanation:
For tracking whether contracts have been sent for Opportunities:
D. Checkbox. This field type allows users to clearly indicate (Yes/No) whether a contract has been sent. This binary nature of checkboxes makes it simple to filter and report on Opportunities based on whether a contract was sent.
Steps to configure this field:

  • Navigate to Setup Object Manager Opportunity.
  • Click Fields & Relationships New Checkbox.
  • Define the field with a label (e.g., Contract Sent).
  • Set the default value to false (unchecked).
  • Add the field to the relevant page layouts.
This setup facilitates accurate reporting and ensures that opportunities cannot be marked as "Closed Won" without indicating whether a contract was sent.
For guidance on creating fields, see Salesforce's documentation on Custom Field Creation.

At Ursa Solar Major, only users with the Outer Planets profile need to see the Jupiter field on the Solar System object. How should the app builder satisfy this requirement?


A. Classic encryption


B. Filtered view


C. Field-level security


D. Sharing rules





C.
  Field-level security

Explanation:
To restrict visibility of the Jupiter field on the Solar System object specifically to users with the Outer Planets profile:
C. Field-level security (FLS). This allows the app builder to control access to fields based on user profiles.
Steps to set up field-level security:
Navigate to Setup Object Manager Solar System.
Select Fields & Relationships Jupiter field.
Click Field-Level Security.
For all profiles except Outer Planets, set the Visible option to unchecked, ensuring these users cannot see the field.
For the Outer Planets profile, check Visible to grant access.
This configuration ensures that only users with the Outer Planets profile can view the Jupiter field.
For more information on field-level security, check Salesforce's guide on Field-Level Security.
