Making the field required in Object Manager is the simplest way to enforce that a value is entered every time a record is created or edited.

 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.

A roll-up summary field is the best way to display the sum of all closed won opportunity amounts at the account level. A roll-up summary field is a type of field that calculates a value from a set of related records, such as the sum, average, min, or max. A roll-up summary field can only be created on the master object of a master-detail relationship, and it can only calculate values from the detail object. For example, a roll-up summary field called Total Revenue could be created on the Account object, and it could calculate the sum of the Amount field from the Opportunity object, where the Stage field equals Closed Won. A custom report type is a tool that allows the user to create a report based on the relationships between a primary object and its related objects. A custom report type does not display a value at the account level, but at the report level. The opportunity related list is a component that shows the related opportunities for a specific account record. The opportunity related list does not display the sum of all closed won opportunity amounts, but only the individual amounts for each opportunity.

QUESTIONNO: 91

A Salesforce associate is asked to review all the objects within their company's instance. They also need to identify which are custom objects.

Where should the associate go to see this information?

A. App Launcher

B. Object Manager

C. Global Search

Answer: B

The Object Manager is where the associate should go to see the information about all the objects within their company’s instance and identify which are custom objects. The Object Manager allows the user to view and manage the metadata of standard and custom objects in Salesforce, such as fields, page layouts, record types, buttons, and actions. The Object Manager can be accessed by clicking the Setup icon in the header, then clicking Object Manager. The custom objects are indicated by a blue icon with a white asterisk, while the standard objects are indicated by a gray icon with a white letter. The App Launcher is where the user can access all the apps and objects in Salesforce, such as Sales, Service, Marketing, and so on. The App Launcher does not show the information about the objects, such as fields, page layouts, or record types. The Global Search is where the user can search for records across multiple objects and fields using keywords or phrases. The Global Search does not show the information about the objects, but only the records that match the search criteria.

 Trailmixes are the Trailhead feature that Get Cloudy Consulting should use to create a custom learning path for its employees. Trailmixes are collections of learning content that users can create, customize, and share with others. Users can add modules, projects, trails, superbadges, and even external links to their trailmixes and assign due dates and points

 The account relationship is a standard lookup field on an opportunity. A lookup field allows the user to select a record from another object and link it to the current record. The account field on an opportunity allows the user to select an account that the opportunity is related to. The stage relationship is not a lookup field, but a picklist field that indicates the sales stage of the opportunity, such as Prospecting, Negotiation, or Closed Won. The quote relationship is not a standard lookup field, but a custom lookup field that can be created to link an opportunity to a quote. A quote is a record that shows proposed prices for products and services.

The best place for GCC’s Salesforce associate to go to collaborate with others on solutions that might resonate with GCC users is to ask a question in a Trailblazer Community Group. A Trailblazer Community Group is a forum where Salesforce users, partners, customers, and employees can connect, share, and learn from each other. There are groups for different topics, regions, industries, and roles. The associate can join a group that is relevant to their needs and interests, and post a question or a discussion to get feedback and ideas from other members. Exploring documents in Help and Training or searching for modules in Trailhead are also useful ways to learn more about Salesforce, but they are not as interactive and collaborative as asking a question in a Trailblazer Community Group.

The account team is the team that a Salesforce associate should be added to gain access to an account and its related opportunities. The account team is a feature that allows the user to share an account and its related records, such as contacts, opportunities, and cases, with other users who play a role in the account. The account team can include different team members with different roles and access levels. For example, the account team could include a sales rep, a sales manager, a product specialist, and a customer service agent. The opportunity team is a feature that allows the user to share an opportunity and its related records, such as products, quotes, and activities, with other users who work on the opportunity. The opportunity team does not grant access to the account or its other related records, such as contacts or cases. The lead team is a feature that allows the user to share a lead and its related records, such as tasks, events, and notes, with other users who work on the lead. The lead team does not grant access to the account or its related records, such as contacts or opportunities.

 The recommendation for the associate to change the opportunity stage more easily is to switch to the Kanban View. The Kanban View is a visual representation of the records in a list view, organized by stages or other categories. The associate can drag and drop the records from one column to another to update the stage or other fields. The Kanban View also shows key metrics and alerts for each column, such as the total amount, number of records, and overdue tasks. Creating multiple list views or using a Dynamic Dashboard View are not as convenient and efficient as using the Kanban View.

The place where the associate can learn more about an app to see if it would be a good fit for a business need is the AppExchange. The AppExchange is a marketplace where users can find, install, and review apps, components, and solutions that are built on the Salesforce platform and are available for various purposes and industries. The associate can browse the AppExchange by category, rating, price, or keyword, and see the details, features, screenshots, and reviews of each app. Trailhead is a learning platform where users can learn new skills and earn badges and certifications, but it does not provide information about specific apps. Global Search is a feature that allows users to find records and other items in their Salesforce org, but it does not search for apps outside their org.

The place where the user can find the Recycle Bin is the App Launcher. The App Launcher is a menu that allows users to access all the apps and items in their Salesforce org. The Recycle Bin is one of the items that can be found in the App Launcher. The user can search for “Recycle Bin” in the App Launcher and select it to view and restore their deleted records. The Recycle Bin is not located in Setup or Global Search.

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.

A developer org should be used to evaluate a new feature that requires a specific license before purchasing. A developer org is a free, full-featured copy of the Salesforce platform that allows developers to create and test applications and features. A developer org can have access to all the licenses and features that are available in the Salesforce platform

The switches that the associate should toggle to only show the Record Count are Row Counts and Grand Total. Row Counts is a switch that shows the number of rows in the report, which is the same as the number of records. Grand Total is a switch that shows the sum, average, minimum, maximum, or other aggregate functions of a numeric field in the report. By toggling these two switches on and the other two switches off, the associate can see the Record Count and the Grand Total of the report, without seeing the individual records or the subtotals. Subtotals and Detail Rows are switches that show the breakdown and the details of the records in the report, which are not needed for the Record Count.

The Salesforce feature that allows an associate to combine the challenge of learning new skills with the chance of winning prizes is Ranks. Ranks are a way to measure your progress and compare it with other learners on Trailhead. You can earn ranks by completing modules, projects, superbadges, and trails. Each rank has a minimum number of points and badges required to achieve it. You can also win prizes by participating in quests, which are time-limited challenges that reward you with swag, certifications, or other goodies1. Superbadges are not a feature that offers prizes, but they are a way to showcase your advanced skills and earn real-world scenario credentials2

 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.

The Lightning App Builder is a tool that allows the associate to draft changes to the account record page, such as adding tabs, hiding components, and making fields conditionally visible, and preview them before publishing.

 Health Cloud is the Salesforce cloud solution that should help meet the needs of a nonprofit organization that wants to ensure residents receive health checkups and comply with local privacy laws. Health Cloud is a cloud-based software solution that allows healthcare providers to manage patient relationships, care coordination, and engagement

The global search box is the most efficient way to find a record within the custom object called Shipment. The global search box is a feature that allows the user to search for records across multiple objects and fields using keywords or phrases. The global search box also supports wildcards, operators, and filters to refine the search results. For example, the user could enter “Shipment*” in the global search box to find all records that start with “Shipment” in the Shipment object. The 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. The App Launcher does not allow the user to search for records within an object, but only to navigate to the object’s home page. The Object Manager is a feature that allows the user to view and manage the metadata of standard and custom objects in Salesforce, such as fields, page layouts, record types, buttons, and actions. The Object Manager does not allow the user to search for records within an object, but only to configure the object’s settings and customization.

 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

 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.

 To ensure a dashboard has the most current data, you need to click refresh on the dashboard page. Refreshing the browser or opening the dashboard will not update the data in the dashboard components3. You can also schedule a dashboard to refresh automatically at regular intervals

 Trailhead is the resource that the Salesforce associate should use to learn more about converting leads to contacts in an asynchronous, gamified way. Trailhead is a learning platform that provides interactive, online, and free courses for anyone who wants to learn Salesforce skills and earn credentials. Trailhead allows the user to learn at their own pace, in their own time, and in their own way. Trailhead also provides gamification features, such as badges, points, and ranks, to motivate and reward the user for their learning progress. Trailhead has a module called Lead Management that covers the topic of converting leads to contacts, among other topics. 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 is not a learning platform, and it does not provide gamification features. The Trailblazer Community is a resource that provides an online platform where Salesforce users, partners, employees, and experts can connect, collaborate, and learn from each other. The Trailblazer Community is not a learning platform, and it does not provide gamification features.

The Salesforce products that best suit GCC’s needs are Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud. Sales Cloud helps GCC communicate its products and services to its prospective customers, improve its sales pipeline forecast and management, and achieve its quarterly revenue goals6. Service Cloud helps GCC offer support to customers through its website, phone, email, chat, and social media channels7. Marketing Cloud helps GCC create personalized customer journeys across email, mobile, social, web, and more

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.

 A roll-up summary field is a field on the parent object that calculates the sum, average, min, or max of a field on the child records. It can be used to learn the sum of the amount for each opportunity related to an account.

Creating a permission set that grants Edit access to leads and assigning it to the marketing managers is the best way to grant them the access they need, without affecting the other users on the marketing team profile.
