Big objects are a way to store and manage massive amounts of data on the Salesforce platform12.
Big objects support custom Salesforce Lightning and Visualforce components rather than standard UI elements3.
Big objects do not support picklist fields, so they need to be loaded as text fields into the big object2.
Big objects do not support standard SOQL queries, so they need to use Async SOQL to query data from them2.

Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) currently use Sales Cloud to track deals and now wants to use channel sales to distribute and tell products through resellers (partners). As part of the channel strategy. NTO will be implementing a Partner Community for resellers to register deals or generate quotes. NTO needs to establish metrics to measure each reseller's performance based on the reseller's activities within the Partner Community. NTO wants to focus on leading metrics as opposed to lagging metrics to get early feedback on how the portal is being used by partners.
Which three leading metrics should a SolutionArchitect recommend to help NTO measure each reseller's goals through the Partner Community?
Choose 3 answers
Answer : B, C, D
The best three leading metrics to help NTO measure each reseller's goals through the Partner Community are logins into Partner Community, number of quotes generated, and opportunities generated. These metrics will give NTO early feedback on how theportal is being used by their partners and will provide insight into their success in using the Partner Community. Product types sold and opportunity win rates are lagging metrics and may not provide timely feedback on the success of the Partner Community.
Leading metrics are indicators that show what's happening and can have real-time impact on your bottom line12.
Lagging metrics are indicators that show the outcome of what happened in a previous time period12.
Leading metrics are useful for predicting future performance and making adjustments, while lagging metrics are useful for evaluating past performance and setting goals34.
To measure each reseller's performance in Northern Trail Outfitters' Partner Community effectively, focusing on leading metrics such as opportunities generated, number of quotes generated, and logins into the Partner Community provides early indicators of engagement and potential sales success. These metrics offer insights into the resellers' active participation and their potential impact on sales, allowing NTO to identify trends and address issues proactively. Leading metrics, unlike lagging metrics, provide real-time data that can inform strategic decisions and adjustments in the channel sales strategy, aligning with best practices for performance measurement and partner management in Salesforce communities.
Universal Containers is in the process of implementing a CPQ and B2B Commerce solution. The Technology team hascompleted the development for the current sprint and is demonstrating the functionalities to the business stakeholders during their sprint demo. While demonstrating products and pricing, and Sync between B2B and CPQ when requesting a quote, the stakeholders make a new request to include tiered pricing and map it to discount schedules on CPQ.
Which approach should a Solution Architect recommend while addressing the feedback from the stakeholders?
Answer : D
CPQ B2B Commerce Connector is a tool that synchronizes data from CPQ product and pricing objects to B2B Commerce objects1.
CPQ uses discount schedules and B2B Commerce uses tiered pricing to handle volume-based pricing23.
The connector does not support mapping tiered pricing to discount schedules out of the box23.
The connector uses pricing from B2B Commerce to define the pricing on the generated quote lines by setting their Special Price fields4.
Incorporating new requirements, such as tiered pricing and mapping to discount schedules in CPQ, into an ongoing Salesforce CPQ and B2B Commerce project requires careful consideration of project scope, timelines, and resource availability. Adding the new requirement as a user story to the product backlog allows for a structured approach to evaluating its impact on the project. Scheduling a subsequent meeting for prioritization and grooming ensures that stakeholders can discuss the new requirement in detail, assess its feasibility, and decide on its inclusion in the project timeline. This approach aligns with agile project management best practices, allowing for flexibility in responding to new requirements while maintaining project focus and efficiency.
