Question 1

What is one aspect of multi-tenant architecture?



Answer : C

Salesforce operates on a multi-tenant architecture, where a single instance of the platform serves multiple customers (tenants). Each tenant's data is securely isolated, but they share common resources, such as server space, database instances, and updates. This approach ensures cost efficiency and scalability.

A . Costs more than single-tenant architecture: Multi-tenancy reduces costs due to shared resources.

B . Reserves resources per tenant: Resources are shared rather than reserved individually.

The Marketing Cloud is a set of products and solutions designed specifically for marketing teams, such as email marketing, social media marketing, web marketing, and mobile marketing. The Marketing Cloud allows the user to create and manage personalized marketing campaigns across multiple channels, and segment, target, and measure the impact of the marketing campaigns.

Question 3

Get Cloudy Consulting (GCC) wants to ensure the Annual Revenue field is a positive amount and does not exceed $100.

What should GCC use to ensure to opportunities meet these standards?



Answer : A

Validation rules are what GCC should use to ensure that opportunities meet the standards for the Annual Revenue field. Validation rules are a type of metadata that define a condition and an error message to display when the condition is not met. Validation rules can be used to enforce data quality and integrity by preventing users from saving records that do not meet the specified criteria. For example, a validation rule could be set up on the Opportunity object to check that the Annual Revenue field is a positive amount and does not exceed $100. Assignment rules are a type of metadata that define how records are assigned to users or queues based on certain criteria. Assignment rules can be used to automate business processes by distributing records to the appropriate owners or teams. For example, an assignment rule could be set up on the Lead object to assign leads to sales reps based on their territory. Default values are a type of metadata that define a value that is automatically populated in a field when a new record is created, unless the user enters a different value. Default values can be used to save time and ensure data consistency by prefilling fields with common or expected values. For example, a default value could be set up on the Lead Source field to indicate the most frequent source of leads, such as Web or Phone.


Question 4

Get Cloudy Consulting (GCC) needs an environment to onboard new hires as well as develop, implement, and test new requirements.

Which type of environment should OCC use?



Answer : A

A sandbox is the type of environment that GCC should use to onboard new hires as well as develop, implement, and test new requirements. A sandbox is a copy of the production environment that allows the user to create and test changes without affecting the live data and users. A sandbox can have different types and sizes, depending on the purpose and scope of the changes. For example, a developer sandbox can be used to create and test code, a partial copy sandbox can be used to test large data sets, and a full sandbox can be used to perform performance testing and user acceptance testing. A production environment is the live environment that contains the real data and users. A production environment should not be used to onboard new hires or develop, implement, and test new requirements, because it could compromise the data quality and security, and disrupt the user experience. A Trailhead Playground is a type of environment that allows the user to learn and practice Salesforce skills using Trailhead. A Trailhead Playground is not connected to the production environment, and it does not have the same features and functionality as a sandbox.


Question 5

A VP of sales is requesting an easy-to-understand visual representation of accounts and opportunities that have been worked on by the sales agents in the current quarter in order to identify trends, sort data, and measure the impact of their activities.

What is recommended to meet these requirements?



Answer : B

Creating a dashboard is the recommended way to meet the requirements of displaying an easy-to-understand visual representation of accounts and opportunities that have been worked on by the sales agents in the current quarter. A dashboard is a collection of components that display data from one or more reports in a graphical format, such as charts, gauges, metrics, and tables. A dashboard allows the user to identify trends, sort data, and measure the impact of their activities. For example, a dashboard could show the number of accounts and opportunities by sales agent, the total amount of closed won opportunities by month, and the average deal size by industry. Creating a list view would not work, because a list view is a filtered set of records that display data in a tabular format, not a graphical format. A list view does not allow the user to identify trends, sort data, or measure the impact of their activities. Creating a custom tab would not work, because a custom tab is a user interface element that allows the user to access a custom object, a web page, or a Lightning page. A custom tab does not display data in a graphical format, but in a record detail or page layout format.


Question 6

A Salesforce associate is working from a custom Contact list view and noticed key information is missing.

What should they do to add the missing information?



Answer : B

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.


Question 7

Where can a new user set up an email signature in Salesforce?



Answer : C

The place where the new user can set up an email signature in Salesforce is the Personal Settings. The Personal Settings are where the user can customize their preferences, such as language, locale, time zone, display, security, and email. The user can access the Personal Settings by clicking on their profile icon and then clicking Settings. Then, they can click on Email under My Personal Information and then click on My Email Settings. There, they can enter their email signature in the Email Signature field and click Save. The User Profile and the Email Setup are not the correct places to set up an email signature in Salesforce.
