The Sales Director has asked for a new field on Opportunities called Reminder Date. The Reminder Date field should display what the date would be 7 days prior to the date that is entered in the Close Date field on an opportunity. What type of field should you create to accomplish this request? A. Formula Field with a Return Type of Date B. Formula Field with a Return Type of Text C. Formula Field with a Return Type of Number D. Date Field E. Date/Time Field
A. Formula Field with a Return Type of Date This can be accomplished by creating a new custom Formula field. This Formula field would need a Return Type of Date specified. This would then display in Date format whatever the date would be 7 days prior to the entered Closed Date on an Opportunity. The actual formula would look like Reminder_Date__c = CloseDate - 7 - If you go through the process of creating this type of field in Salesforce, you'll actually see this exact formula as the example they give in the Formula Return Type selection for Date. Check it out.
Which Dashboard Components can display multiple groupings? (select 3) A. Funnel Chart B. Line Chart C. Donut Chart D. Bar Chart E. Pie Chart
A. Funnel Chart C. Donut Chart E. Pie Chart A bar chart shows values as horizontal lengths, so this format can be good for comparing distance or time. Use a bar chart when you have a summary report with a single grouping, or you only want to display one grouping. Use a funnel chart when you have multiple groupings in an ordered set and want to show the proportions among them. Use a donut chart when you have multiple groupings and want to show not only the proportion of a single value for each grouping against the total, but also the total amount itself. Use a pie chart when you have multiple groupings and want to show the proportion of a single value for each grouping against the total. Line charts are good for showing changes in the value of an item over a series of points in time, such as week to week or quarter to quarter.

What type of field can accommodate both of these values? A. Currency field B. Formula field with a Return Type of Currency C. Text field D. Number field
B. Formula field with a Return Type of Currency You would need to create formula fields to calculate both of these values. And since the values we are dealing with a currency values, the return type for these formula fields would need to be specified with a Return Type of Currency. This will present the values in the proper currency and formatting and will be dynamically derived, based on the value of the opportunity and the calculations contained within the formula. These types of formula fields are often requested for reporting purposes.
What type of object facilitates a many-to-many relationship in Salesforce? A. Standard Object B. Junction Object C. External Object D. Custom Object

Create a Lead Qualifiers Queue and add the appropriate users to the queue. Create a Lead Assignment Rule to assign ownership of new leads to a queue.
The VP of Customer Success has asked that a new change be made to the Case Closure process, specifically for Cases with a Tier 2 Record Type. Whenever these Tier 2 cases are closed, they would like to have a Confetti celebration appear on screen for the support rep who closed the case in Salesforce. How would you accomplish this?
Create a Path with a Confetti Celebration when Status equals Closed for Cases with a Record Type of Tier 2 and then add the Path Component to the Lighting Page. Paths can be enabled in your org and then be created at the object level. You can specify a path that is specific to a certain record type. Paths are not added by default to the Case page layout, so you would need to add it to the page layout via the Lightning App Builder.
The Human Resources Director needs the Heads of each Department to be able to edit Time Off Requests, which is a Custom Object in your Salesforce organization. The Heads of these Departments each belong to different Profiles in Salesforce, and yet they need the ability to edit Time Off Requests to be extended to them. What is the best option for accomplishing this requirement?
Create a new Permission Set and enable Edit Permission on the Time Off Request object, then assign the Department Head Users to the new Permission Set. Permission Sets are ideal for this scenario. It's not feasible to make all fields on an object Read-Only, because you will often be adding new fields to an object, and that would be hard to maintain. With Permission Sets, you can extend one-off exception type situations to extend CRUD rights to an object. You also wouldn't want to move all department heads into a new profile, because each of the department heads likely require different access and security.
Your org has set the organization-wide default for Opportunities to Public Read/Write. Your Sales Reps are complaining that the reports they see contain all opportunities for the entire company. They would like these reports to only display opportunities that they actually own.
Customize the Report and change the Filter setting to include on My Opportunities' You can filter reports to such criteria as My Opportunities, which will display only opportunities that are owned by the current user. This is the ideal solution for this request. You could customize the existing report, or clone it to create a new report off of the existing, and then add the additional filter criteria. To set the org-wide default to Private would have far reaching implications beyond just this single report, and is a good example of not introducing unintended consequences in your org in the quest to quickly provide a solution. You also would not want to resort to code (Visualforce page), when a declarative option (clicks instead of code) is readily available to you.
Which statement is true, as it relates to Checkbox fields and field dependency? A. Checkbox fields can be either controlling fields or dependent fields B. None of the Above C. Checkbox fields can be neither controlling fields or dependent fields D. Checkbox fields can be controlling fields, but not dependent fields E. Checkbox fields can be dependent fields, but not controlling fields.
D. Checkbox fields can be controlling fields, but not dependent fields
Your company wishes to back up all of their Salesforce records on the first day of each month. Which built in service provided by Salesforce can accommodate this? A. Schema Builder B. Scheduled Report C. Mass Export D. Data Export
D. Data Export The Data Export service can be used to schedule an export of all of your Salesforce records on a weekly or monthly basis.
You have received a list of 25,000 lead records, which you suspect contain a high percentage of duplicate records. What is the best tool to use to import these records, and avoid introducing duplicates into your system? A. Custom Visualforce Page B. Data Export C. Data Loader D. Data Import Wizard
D. Data Import Wizard The Data Import Wizard can handle the importing of up to 50,000 Lead records at a time, and has some duplicate matching and blocking capabilities.
You need to capture additional custom Lead information onto Contact records during the Lead Conversion process. Which type of field mapping are you able to do in Salesforce in order to accomplish this? A. Map standard Lead fields to standard Contact fields. B. Map custom Lead fields to standard Contact fields. C. Map standard Lead fields to custom Contact fields. D. Map custom Lead fields to custom Contact fields.
D. Map custom Lead fields to custom Contact fields. The field-mapping functionality that you can set up in the Salesforce Lead Conversion Process is custom-to-custom. I encourage you to walk out the process of mapping lead fields yourself in your Salesforce instance so that this is clear and you also understand that not only can you map to custom Contact fields, but also to custom Account and Opportunities fields as well.
The Sales Manager has made a fundamental change to how revenue is attributed to Sales people. They would like to enable the opportunity owner to be able to credit team members with a percentage, based upon their level of helping close deals and receive a percentage. Which Salesforce feature would you enable and configure in order to satisfy this new requirement? A. Collaborative Forecasting B. Territory Management C. Revenue Scheduling D. Opportunity Splits E. Product Scheduling
D. Opportunity Splits Opportunity splitting lets you share revenue from an opportunity with your team members. Team members working on an opportunity can roll their individual sales credits into quota and pipeline reports for the entire team.
There is a recurring problem of Opportunity stages being set back and forth repeatedly. The desired progression is for Opportunities to progress forward until closing as either won or lost. You have no record of who is making these changes, or when these stage changes are occurring. As an initial step for troubleshooting this issue, what should you do? A. Log in as the suspected user and view their Recently Viewed list. B. View the Setup Audit Trail C. Enter the user you suspect is doing this into the Debug Log and monitor what they are doing D. Set Field History Tracking on the Stage Field
D. Set Field History Tracking on the Stage Field History Tracking can be set on up to 20 fields per object. You can also track an additional 20 fields on Chatter, by the way (free tip). The Setup Audit Trail tracks who has been changed in your org from a customization standpoint and is not used for tracking changes to individual records. You can actually monitor users in the Debug Log for troubleshooting purposes, and it will reveal what records they are working on, but you have to guess which user, and the problem may be with a process or trigger that is causing these issues. You can also log in as another user and look at their Recently Viewed list, but this is also an inefficient approach. Stage is likely a field to already be tracked in most orgs, but I have been surprised by how many orgs have instituted no field history tracking. It's a quick win, when you are starting a new admin role to check for this.
Where do you signify if a user is a Service Cloud user? A. Profile B. Assigned Apps C. Company Information D. User Record E. Permission Set
D. User Record The Service Cloud designation for a user is made by checking the Service Cloud User checkbox on the User record.

Enable Multiple Currencies from the Company Information page.
Your Marketing Manager and Sales Manager are at odds over who is to blame for introducing duplicate Leads and Contacts into Salesforce. You have been tasked with bringing peace to the org-wide chaos of duplicates by implementing Duplicate Rules. You quickly activate the Standard Contact Duplicate Rule and Standard Lead Duplicate Rule in your org. Peace descends upon the Sales and Marketing departments and all is well in the world...until the Marketing Manager returns from a Tradeshow with a .csv file of 5000+ business card scans with contact details for new leads. You have been asked to import this long list of leads into Salesforce, but fear it will be rife with duplicates. Before you perform an Upsert using the Data Loader and match against Email addresses, what can you do in your Duplicate Rules to help filter out potential duplicates into an Error file?
Make sure the Alert Checkboxes are checked for Operations on Create and Operations on Edit in your Standard Lead Duplicate Rule. There are two primary options available to you in Duplicate Rules to Alert and/or Report potential duplicates On Create and/or On Edit. An upsert combines creating new records and updating existing. The Alert option will warn users in the user interface of potential duplicates, but will add a row to the error.csv file when doing an insert, update or upsert from the Data Loader (i.e. when not using the interface). This effectively gives you the ability to match for duplicates beyond just email address into other fields that are specified in the Matching Rules contained in your Duplicate Rules on an object. The Alert setting is a way of allowing non-potential dupes to be inserted and updated and those flagged as potential dupes will go into an error file and not hit the system. You can then take the error .csv file to troubleshoot. For more fun and giggles with Duplicate Rules, you may be wondering about the Report option. What does that do? Glad you asked. It will help you with troubleshooting your rules - both Duplicate Rules and Matching Rules (which reside inside the Duplicate Rules) Report will create a record of any potential duplicates that are flagged by a Duplicate Rule. This will help you in troubleshooting your Duplicate Rules. But where are those records recorded? In Duplicate Record Sets. Duplicate Record Sets are available from the App Launcher and will display more details on which Duplicate Rule flagged potential duplicates and more details under Duplicate Record Items.
You have specified Trusted IP Ranges in your Salesforce org. What happens when a user tries to log in from an IP address that is outside of the Trusted IP Ranges that you have set?
The user receives a login challenge for verification of their identity, such as a code sent to their mobile phone. Login IP Ranges dictate which IP addresses users can log in from, and if an attempt is made outside of that range, the request is denied. This is not to be confused with Trusted IP Ranges, which define a list of IP addresses from which users can log in without receiving a login challenge for verification of their Identity.
You have been asked to convert an existing Multi-Select Picklist to a Picklist field. What would be a negative consequence of fulfilling this request?
This could result in data loss. Converting from multi-select picklist to a picklist can result in data loss. For the inverse, you can change custom picklists into multi-select picklists without losing any data. Since your records only contain a single value of that picklist, that value is still selected but users can select more values.
When should you, as a System Administrator, consider using the AppExchange?
When standard Salesforce functionality needs to be extended for features that are beyond either your time or ability to create. The AppExchange contains applications built by companies that extend the Salesforce platform beyond its standard functionality. It is advantageous to leverage apps off of the AppExchange to save time compared to developing solutions on your own. The place to submit ideas to Salesforce is the Idea Exchange. Cases are submitted to Salesforce Support by clicking Help inside of Salesforce and selecting to contact support. The place to purchase additional Salesforce licenses for new users in called Checkout, or by calling your Salesforce representative.
