Advanced-Administrator Sample Questions Answers

Email logs are files that provide information about email delivery and activity in your Salesforce org. Email logs contain details such as sender, recipient, subject, date, status, error code, and more for each email sent or received within a specified time range. You can use email logs to investigate issues with email delivery or performance in your org. In this case, you can use email logs to check if the status update emails were sent successfully or if there were any errors or failures.

A lookup relationship is a type of field that links one object to another object. It allows you to access related data from another object and display it on a record page. A lookup relationship can be used to link the custom object that stores financial information to the Account object, so that only finance team members can see the related financial information about the account. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.relationships_lookup.htm &type=5

Paused flows can cause data to be saved in an unencrypted state because when a flow pauses, Salesforce saves its state and any data it has collected in a flow interview object, which is not encrypted by Shield Platform Encryption. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView? id=sf.security_pe_considerations_flows.htm&type=5

Run the standard Data Classification report is what the administrator should recommend to the compliance team. Data Classification is a feature that allows administrators to flag where sensitive information is stored in Salesforce by assigning sensitivity and classification levels to fields. Data Classification also provides a standard report that shows field level sensitivity and classification for all fields in an org. The administrator can run this report and share it with the compliance team to meet their requirement. 

Process Builder and Flow Builder are tools that allow administrators to automate business processes in Salesforce without writing code. Process Builder and Flow Builder can perform actions such as creating records, updating fields, sending emails, posting to Chatter, invoking Apex classes, calling flows, etc.

To automate several updates to lead records and update unrelated records at Cloud Kicks, an administrator can use two options:

B) Create a Process Builder that runs when a record is changed

Process Builder is a tool that allows administrators to create processes that consist of criteria nodes and action groups. Criteria nodes define the conditions that trigger the process and action groups define the actions that the process performs. Processes can run when a record is created or when a record is created or edited.

By creating a Process Builder that runs when a record is changed, an administrator can automate updates to lead records based on certain criteria and perform actions such as updating fields, sending emails, posting to Chatter, invoking Apex classes, calling flows, etc. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.process_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.process_considerations.htm &type=5

C) Create a flow that runs when a record is created or updated

Flow Builder is a tool that allows administrators to create flows that consist of elements such as screens, assignments, decisions, loops, etc. Elements define the logic and user interface of the flow. Flows can run in different ways such as when a user clicks a button, when a record is updated by Process Builder, when an event occurs in the system (such as record creation), etc.

Public groups let you share records with a set of users defined by criteria such as role, profile, or individual users. You can use public groups as recipients for email alerts in workflow rules or process builder.

One possible reason why the before trigger fails is that the code could be trying to create duplicates in the archive when it is unable to. A before trigger is a type of trigger that executes before a record is saved and can be used to validate or modify record data. In this case, the before trigger is supposed to save the original version of a record to an external database before it is updated or deleted in Salesforce. However, if the code does not handle errors or exceptions properly, it could try to create duplicate records in the external database when it is not allowed or possible. This could cause the trigger to fail and prevent the record from being saved in Salesforce. References: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_triggers.htm https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_triggers_context_variables.h tm

A flow is an automation tool that allows you to create processes that perform actions based on user input or record changes. A flow can be triggered by a user who launches it from a button, link, or Lightning page, or by the system when a record is created or updated. A flow has different versions that can be active or inactive. An active version is the one that runs when the flow is triggered, while an inactive version is the one that is saved but not running. When you deploy a flow to production with a change set, the flow version is deployed as inactive by default. This means that you need to activate the flow manually after deployment if you want it to run in production. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_distribute_changesets.htm &type=5

A before save flow trigger is a type of flow that runs before a record is saved and can update the record without any additional actions or database operations. This can expedite the time required to update the records and improve performance. A before save flow trigger can be used as an alternative to a process builder that updates the same record that triggered it. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_concepts_trigger.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_ref_elemen ts_triggers.htm&type=5

Check the Reevaluate Workflow Rules After Field Change box on the Approval Process Field Update Action is what the administrator should do to troubleshoot the issue. This option allows the approval process field update to trigger any workflow rules or processes that are based on the updated field value. If this option is not checked, the approval process field update will not trigger any workflow rules or processes, and the Process Builder will not fire

The flow debug option is a tool that allows you to test and troubleshoot your flow by running it in debug mode and inspecting the values of variables and resources at each step. You can also set the debug mode to run as another user and see how the flow behaves for different users with different permissions and settings. In this case, using the flow debug option and setting the selection to run as another user can help identify why one user is experiencing a flow error while others are not. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_ debug.htm&type=5

REGEX is a function that allows administrators to check whether a text value matches a regular expression pattern. Regular expressions are a way to define complex patterns of characters using symbols and operators. REGEX can be used to enforce consistent formatting for a field value by specifying the required length, characters, and separators.

Planning deployments around maintenance schedules ensures that there are no interruptions or delays in the deployment process. Deploying all dependent components ensures that there are no missing metadata or references that could cause errors or failures in the deployment. Limiting change sets to 10,000 files ensures that the deployment does not exceed the maximum size limit for change sets

The resume event is recalculated and the email goes out to the account owner immediately because the flow uses a scheduled path that evaluates the expiration date field every time it changes. When the expiration date is changed to yesterday, the flow resumes immediately and executes the action of sending the email

Password Policies on the System Administrator profile is a feature that allows administrators to set different password requirements for users with different profiles. Password Policies can specify the minimum length, complexity, expiration period, history enforcement, lockout interval, and warning message for passwords. Password Policies can be used to enforce stricter password requirements for system administrators than for other users

change sets are tools that allow administrators to move customizations from one Salesforce org to another. However, change sets do not track dependencies or conflicts between components in different orgs, so administrators need to manually verify that all required components are included in the change set and that they do not overwrite existing customizations in the target org. To avoid losing changes in production due to deploying an incomplete or incorrect change set, administrators should push the change set to another sandbox first and test it there before deploying it to production. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.changesets_considerations.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com /s/articleView?id=sf.changesets_best_practices.htm&type=5

Debug Log is a tool that captures information about database operations, system processes, and errors that occur when executing a transaction or running a unit test. Debug Log can help troubleshoot issues related to triggers, workflows, validation rules, or other custom logic by showing the order of execution and the values of variables and expressions

Use an Insert operation to load data because the data is not already in Salesforce and does not need to be updated or deleted3. Map an External ID data value to the object because External IDs are used to create relationships between records that are being imported and records that already exist in Salesforce4. References: 3 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_loader_insert.htm &type=5 4 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_loader_relationships.htm &type=5

The data masking tool is a tool that allows you to mask sensitive data in your full sandbox by replacing it with fictitious data. This can help you protect your data privacy and comply with regulations while testing in a realistic environment. You can use the data masking tool to mask data for standard and custom objects, including person accounts, and choose from different masking formats and options. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_mask.h tm&type=5

To review the performance of a Lightning record page, administrators can utilize two key tools:

Lightning Usage App:

The Lightning Usage App provides insights into user engagement and performance metrics for Lightning Experience.

Within this app, administrators can view specific metrics related to page load times and other performance factors.

This is a helpful resource for tracking usage and identifying potential issues with page speed or performance across the org.

Analyze Button:

The Analyze button is available within the Lightning App Builder when editing a Lightning record page.

By clicking this button, administrators can run a performance analysis on the page layout, which provides specific recommendations for optimizing page load times and improving overall user experience.

The tool evaluates components, their configuration, and potential sources of delay, giving direct feedback on areas to improve.

These two options directly provide performance analysis capabilities for Lightning record pages. The other options listed do not offer direct access to page performance metrics:

Activation Button is used for setting page visibility rules and activating a page, not for performance analysis.

Pages Menu helps in navigating and managing pages but does not provide performance metrics.

Using both the Lightning Usage App and the Analyze button allows administrators to comprehensively review and optimize Lightning page performance for improved user experience.

The Analyze feature in the Lightning App Builder toolbar is a tool that helps you optimize the performance of your record pages by providing recommendations and insights on how to improve page load time and user experience. It can help you identify which fields and components are taking the most time to load and suggest ways to reduce their impact. You can also compare your page performance with other pages in your org or with Salesforce best practices. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.lightning_page_optimize.htm &type=5

Workflow is the debug log category that should be used to troubleshoot an issue with a flow. Workflow is a debug log category that captures information about workflow rules, flows, processes, approval processes, and entitlement processes. Workflow can help identify errors or issues related to these automation tools by showing details such as evaluation criteria, actions executed, variables assigned, and outcomes reached.

A phone field that provides the full phone number of the seller, a number field that designates the square footage of the listing, and a picklist field that designates the county of the listing should be used as filter criteria because they are fields that can be used to narrow down the report results based on specific values or ranges. A multi-select picklist field that designates features of the listing and a formula field that calculates a price for the listing should not be used as filter criteria because they are fields that cannot be filtered on in reports. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.reports_filtering.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.reports_fields_unavailable.htm &type=5

A forecast is a projection of how much revenue or quantity you can generate from your sales pipeline for a given period of time. A forecast can be either revenue-based or quantity-based, depending on what you want to measure and track. A revenue-based forecast shows the amount of money expected from closed sales, while a quantity-based forecast shows the number of units expected from closed sales. You can choose the forecast type that best suits your business needs and goals when you set up Collaborative Forecasts in Salesforce. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.forecasts3_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.forecasts3_forecast_ty pes.htm&type=5

Lightning Object Creator is a tool that allows you to create custom objects and fields from a spreadsheet in a few clicks. Lightning Object Creator analyzes the spreadsheet data and suggests the best way to map it to Salesforce fields and relationships. You can also import the data from the spreadsheet into the new custom object and view it in a list view or a related list. In this case, you can use Lightning Object Creator to create a custom Project object from the spreadsheet that tracks installations and also import the data into the new object. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.object_creator_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.object_creator_create_obje ct.htm&type=5

Two combined automation tools that the administrator can use to create the task record and assign based on date criteria are:

Create a formula field to capture the MAX date. A formula field is a custom field that calculates a value based on other fields or expressions. In this case, a formula field can be used to capture the maximum value between Estimated Shipping Date and Client Need By Date fields and store it as a date value.

Make a Process Builder to create the task. A Process Builder is an automation tool that allows you to create processes that perform actions based on certain criteria. In this case, a Process Builder can be used to create a task record when a certain condition is met and assign its due date based on the formula field value.

The other two options are incorrect because:

An approval process is an automation tool that allows you to route records for approval based on certain criteria and approval steps. It does not create or assign tasks based on date criteria.

A workflow rule is an automation tool that allows you to perform actions based on certain criteria and evaluation time. It does not create or assign tasks based on date criteria.

A permission set is a collection of settings and permissions that give users access to various tools and functions in Salesforce. A permission set can be used to extend users’ functional access without changing their profiles. You can assign permission sets to individual users or groups of users based on their business needs. In this case, you can create a permission set with Read access to the Government ID field on the custom object and assign it to the Institutional Team users who need access to this field via reports. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView? id=sf.perm_sets_overview.htm&type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.perm_sets_create.htm &type=5

The Dev Console Log Inspector is a tool that allows you to view and analyze debug logs in a graphical interface. Debug logs contain information about database operations, system processes, and errors that occur when executing a transaction or running unit tests. To troubleshoot a process builder, the administrator should look for event types beginning with FLOW in the event column. These event types indicate the start and end of a flow interview, as well as any flow elements, faults, or decisions that occur during the execution. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.code_dev_console_log_inspector.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.code_debug_log_event_types.htm &type=5

Permission set groups are a combination of permission sets that grant users access to various tools and functions. Muting permission sets are used to remove access that is granted by other permission sets in the group. However, muting permission sets cannot remove object-level access that is granted by Modify All or View All permissions. Therefore, if a user is assigned to a permission set group that gives them Modify All access to Accounts, a muting permission set that mutes Delete access on Account will not have any effect. The user will still have Modify All access on the Account object, which includes Delete access. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.perm_sets_groups_muting.htm &type=5

Time-based workflows are a type of workflow that execute actions based on a specific time trigger, such as a certain number of days before or after a date field on a record. Time-based workflows can cause delays in processing because they are added to a queue and processed in one-hour batches. If the queue is large or the system is busy, the actions may not execute at the exact time they are scheduled. Therefore, time-based workflows can contribute to reaching the hourly limit for processing workflow time triggers. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.workflow_time_action_considerations.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.workflow_limits.htm &type=5

Debugging a flow allows administrators to test how a flow behaves before activating it or making changes to it. Debugging a flow runs it in real time using test data provided by the administrator or default values from the flow. However, debugging a flow also performs any actions defined in the flow, such as creating, updating, or deleting records. Therefore, if a flow has a delete element that deletes a record based on certain criteria, debugging the flow will delete the test record even if the flow is inactive. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_debug.htm &type=5

Confirm the object is marked as deployed and not in development is what the administrator should do to resolve the issue. A custom object can be marked as deployed or in development depending on its readiness for use. A custom object that is marked as in development is not visible to users or available for data import or export. A custom object that is marked as deployed is visible to users and available for data import or export. Therefore, the administrator should make sure that the new custom object is marked as deployed before using Data Loader to upload records to it

To ensure that multiple field updates occur in a specific order on a custom object, the administrator should create a process with one criteria node and three field updates arranged in the correct order. This approach allows the updates to execute sequentially within a single automation framework, ensuring that they happen in the intended order.

Using Process Builder with a Single Criteria Node:

In Process Builder, the administrator can define a single criteria node that triggers the field updates. By adding multiple field updates within this single node and arranging them in the desired sequence, Salesforce will execute them in that specific order.

This setup provides better control over the sequence of updates compared to multiple workflow rules, as Process Builder will execute each field update step by step as configured within the node.

Advantages Over Workflow Rules:

Unlike workflow rules, where the order of execution can be less predictable due to separate triggers, Process Builder enables precise control over the execution sequence within the same process.

Using multiple workflow rules or multiple criteria nodes with stop actions would complicate the setup without guaranteeing the specific order. Process Builder’s structure ensures that updates proceed in the exact order defined.

Incorrect options:

Option A (Three workflow rules): Creating separate workflow rules for each update does not ensure a specific order of execution, as workflow rules are not guaranteed to run sequentially.

Option C (Three criteria nodes with stop actions): This approach would execute each node separately, and the stop action after each node adds unnecessary complexity, without ensuring the sequential order required.

Option D (One workflow rule with three field updates): Workflow rules do not guarantee the order of field updates within a single rule. Using Process Builder with a single node is more reliable for sequential execution.

In conclusion, Process Builder with one criteria node and ordered field updates is the most effective approach to ensure a specific execution sequence for multiple field updates on the Shipment object.

Login Forensics is a Salesforce feature that allows you to monitor and analyze login behavior and trends in your org. It can help you identify and prevent brute-force password attacks by showing you the number of login attempts, successes, and failures per user, location, and device. You can also set up alerts to notify you when a user exceeds a certain number of login failures or when a login originates from an unusual location or device. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_loginforensics.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_loginforensics_alerts.htm &type=5

Salesforce’s Data Export Service is a tool that allows you to export your organization’s data to a set of comma-separated values (CSV) files and store them in a backup location of your choice. You can schedule this service to run weekly or monthly and receive an email notification when your files are ready to download. This is one way to back up your data daily without using any external tools or services. References: https://help.salesforce.co m/s/articleView?id=sf.data_export.htm&type=5

Three recommendations that the administrator can make to reduce the file size of full data exports are:

Reduce the amount of objects per export. By selecting only the objects that are necessary for the backup and excluding the ones that are not, you can reduce the number of files and records that are exported and decrease the file size.

Deselect ‘Include images, documents, and attachments’ in the export. By unchecking this option, you can exclude the files that are stored in Salesforce as images, documents, or attachments from the export. These files can take up a lot of space and increase the file size significantly.

Keep deleted record counts to a minimum. By emptying the recycle bin regularly or using hard delete options, you can reduce the number of deleted records that are included in the export. Deleted records are still counted as part of the export limit and can increase the file size.

The other two options are incorrect because:

Requesting a backup file every 5 days does not reduce the file size of each export. It only increases the frequency of exports and may cause more storage issues.

Unselecting the recycle bin in the object export option does not reduce the file size of full data exports. It only applies to individual object exports and not to weekly or monthly exports.

Move some page components behind a tab, remove some of the fields displayed, and reduce the number of related lists displayed are three options available to the administrator to help with this issue. Moving some page components behind a tab can help reduce the loading time of a record page by hiding some components until they are needed by the user. Removing some of the fields displayed can help reduce the loading time of a record page by minimizing the number of queries and calculations that need to be performed when rendering the page. Reducing the number of related lists displayed can help reduce the loading time of a record page by limiting the amount of data that needs to be retrieved and displayed on the page

A matching rule is a rule that defines how records are compared for duplication based on certain fields or fuzzy logic. By including more fields or changing the matching method, you can make the matching rule more or less strict and reduce false positives or negatives. In this case, including the email field to the existing matching rule for contacts can help avoid duplicate messages for common names by checking if the email addresses are also identical. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.matching_rules_create.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id= sf.matching_rules_considerations.htm&type=5

Modify All is the level of access that the sales user will have on the Account object after being assigned to a muting permission set that mutes Delete access on Account. Muting permissions are a way to reduce or remove access to objects or fields for users who are assigned to permission set groups. Muting permissions can only mute object-level permissions, such as Create, Read, Edit, Delete, View All, or Modify All, but not field-level permissions or other permissions. Muting permissions can only reduce or remove access that is granted by other permission sets or permission set groups within the same permission set group, but not by profiles or other sources of access. Therefore, in this case, the muting permission set will only mute the Delete access on Account that is granted by the permission set group, but not the Modify All access that is also granted by the permission set group.

Force logout on session timeout is the recommended security setting to configure because it prevents users from resuming their sessions after they time out due to inactivity, which reduces the risk of unauthorized access to Salesforce data from unattended devices. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_sessions_logout.htm &type=5

Data Import Wizard is a tool that allows administrators to import data for standard and custom objects in Salesforce using CSV files. Data Import Wizard can handle up to 50,000 records at a time and supports simple data transformations and validations. Data Import Wizard can be used to upload records for a custom object when the number of records is small and the import frequency is low.

Debug logs capture database operations, system processes, and errors that occur when executing a transaction or running unit tests. Debug logs can help identify the cause of Apex CPU time limit exceeded errors by showing the execution time of each Apex statement and trigger. References: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_debugging_debug_logs.htm

The setup audit trail tracks the recent setup changes that you and other administrators have made to your org. It can help you troubleshoot issues by showing you what changes were made, who made them, and when. In this case, the setup audit trail can help the administrator identify if someone changed the field-level security, page layout, or profile settings for the industry picklist field. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.monitorsetup.htm &type=5

Configuring one app per department and activating record pages for each app will ensure that users view records in a way that makes sense for each department. An app is a collection of items that work together to serve a particular function. An app can have different record pages for different objects and profiles. By activating record pages for each app, the administrator can customize what users see based on their app context. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.app_manager_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.app_builder_customize_lex_pages_assign.htm &type=5

A permission set is a collection of settings and permissions that can extend users’ functional access without changing their profiles. By creating a permission set with view All on Accounts and assigning it to the service and sales managers, an administrator can grant them access to all account records in their org without modifying their existing profiles. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/art icleView?id=sf.users_permissionsets.htm&type=5

Building a process that updates the record type field to B2C Customer after conversion will correct this issue. The conversion layout for person accounts does not allow selecting different record types for accounts and contacts. The default record type for person accounts is determined by the organization-wide default settings. However, a process can be triggered after conversion to update the record type field based on the lead record type or other criteria. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.convert_leads_considerations.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.convert_leads_mapping.htm &type=5

Deselecting disable session timeout warning popup enables a warning message to appear before a user’s session expires due to inactivity. This gives the user a chance to extend their session or save their work before being logged out. This can help prevent users from being logged out of Salesforce without notice

IP ranges are settings that restrict login access to Salesforce from specific IP addresses. Administrators can set IP ranges at the org level or at the profile level. If a user tries to log in from an IP address that is outside the allowed range for their profile or their org, they will not be able to access Salesforce. Therefore, if a user started to work remotely and is having an issue logging in, it could be because they are not in the IP range for their profile or their org. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView? id=sf.security_networkaccess.htm&type=5

record types allow administrators to offer different business processes, picklist values, and page layouts to different users based on their profiles. By using record types for accounts and contacts at AW Computing, administrators can track their accounts and competitors on different record types with different fields on their page layouts. For partner accounts, they can also use record types to specify different values in the Industry picklist field. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_recordtype.htm &type=5

A high assurance session is a type of session security level that requires users to verify their identity using a second factor of authentication, such as Salesforce Authenticator, a verification code, or a security key. Administrators can configure certain actions or permissions to require a high assurance session, such as exporting reports, viewing encrypted data, or accessing connected apps.

If users are able to run reports but are taken to a login screen and prompted for additional verification when they try to export a report, it could be because exporting is configured to require a high assurance session. This means that users need to use a second factor of authentication to export reports, even if they have already logged in with their username and password. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.identity_verification.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_sessions.htm &type=5

Making the field Read Only on the page layout prevents users from manually entering or editing the field value on the record page. This ensures that users cannot bypass answering the questions in order to determine their Tier value. Using a screen flow to ask the questions allows administrators to create an interactive user interface that guides users through a series of screens based on their inputs and logic. A screen flow can be used to ask questions and set the field value based on the answers

Record access remains the same after running the flow because changing the record type does not affect the sharing rules or the record owner. The Sales user will still have read and edit access to the account record based on their profile and the organization-wide default for accounts. The record type assignment only affects the page layout and picklist values that are available for the account record

An object-specific quick action is a type of action that allows users to do something in the context of a specific object, such as creating or updating a record, logging a call, sending an email, or launching a custom action. In this case, the administrator can create an object-specific quick action on the opportunity object that pre-populates certain fields with predefined values and allows users to quickly close an opportunity from the Salesforce mobile app. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.actions_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.actions_objectspecific_actions.htm &type=5

When you have multiple record-triggered flows that are configured to run before the record is saved on the same object, the order of flow execution is unpredictable. This means that you cannot guarantee which flow will run first or last, or how they will affect each other’s field updates. Therefore, you should avoid creating multiple before-save flows on the same object and instead consolidate them into one flow if possible. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_considerations_recordtriggered_before.htm &type=5

A delegated administrator is a user who has been granted limited administrative privileges by an administrator through delegated administration groups. Delegated administrators can perform some administrative tasks without having full access to Setup.

Some functions that delegated administrators can perform are:

B) Build automation and validation rules using screen flows

Screen flows are types of flows that guide users through screens with elements such as text boxes, picklists, radio buttons, etc. Screen flows can also perform actions such as creating records, updating fields, sending emails, etc. Delegated administrators can build automation and validation rules using screen flows if they have been granted access to create and edit flows by an administrator. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_concepts_design_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_distribute_delegated_admins.htm &type=5

D) Make updates to permission set configurations

Permission sets are collections of settings and permissions that can extend users’ functional access without changing their profiles. Delegated administrators can make updates to permission set configurations if they have been granted access to manage users by an administrator. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.users_permissionsets.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.admin_useradmin_delegated.htm &type=5

Two practices that the administrator should adhere to in order to ensure a successful deployment to production are:

Add permissions and access settings to outbound change sets in addition to the dependent component list. This can help avoid deployment errors or access issues caused by missing permissions or settings for the components in the change set. For example, if the change set includes a new custom object, the administrator should also include the object permissions, field-level security, page layouts, and record types for that object.

Run deployment validations on the change set in the sandbox prior to uploading to production. This can help test the change set for any errors or conflicts before deploying it to production. Deployment validations simulate the deployment without actually making any changes and report any issues or warnings.

The other two options are incorrect because:

Cloning a change set does not add forgotten dependent components to an uploaded change set. It only creates a copy of the existing change set that can be modified before uploading.

When deploying a new record type, it is not necessary to have it as the only component in the change set. It can be deployed along with other components as long as they are compatible and have the required dependencies.

One possible reason for the changes to case routing is the difference in the order of execution between before save flow triggers and workflow rules. Before save flow triggers run before assignment rules, which means that any field updates made by the flow can affect how the assignment rules assign the case. Workflow rules run after assignment rules, which means that any field updates made by the workflow do not affect how the assignment rules assign the case. Therefore, replacing workflow rules with before save flow triggers can change the case routing logic.

The order of execution for flows that are configured to run before the record is saved on the same object is unpredictable and may vary depending on factors such as flow version, flow name, or flow creation date. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid creating multiple flows with the same trigger conditions and instead consolidate them into a single flow.

 A cross-object formula is a formula that references fields from related objects. The administrator can create a cross-object formula field on the Case object that displays the current status from the Account. This field can be used in validation rules and other processes.

Setup Audit Trail is a tool that tracks the recent setup changes made by anyone in an org. It can help identify who made what changes and when, as well as any errors or failures that occurred during the changes. Setup Audit Trail can help troubleshoot deployment issues by comparing the changes made in production with those made in sandbox

An after save flow is a type of flow that runs in the background after a record is saved and performs actions based on the record data or changes. An after save flow does not require user input or interaction and can be triggered by a record-triggered flow element or by an Apex trigger. In this case, you can create an after save flow that runs when a case record is updated and delivers status update email to customers based on certain criteria or conditions.

An entitlement process is a feature that allows you to define and enforce service-level agreements (SLAs) for your customers based on certain criteria and timelines. An entitlement process consists of milestones and actions that represent required steps and time limits for resolving customer issues. You can use entitlement processes to track if your support team is meeting your SLAs and provide consistent service quality to your customers. In this case, you can set up and configure entitlement processes for different types of cases and assign them to accounts or contacts based on their service contracts or warranties.

Duplicate management is a feature that allows administrators to prevent or allow duplicate records for standard or custom objects. Duplicate management consists of two components: duplicate rules and matching rules.

B) Configure custom duplicate rules.

Duplicate rules are rules that determine what actions to take when users try to save duplicate records. Duplicate rules can block users from saving duplicates, alert users of duplicates and let them save anyway, or report on duplicates without affecting the save operation. Duplicate rules can also specify which fields to use for matching and which security settings to enforce. By configuring custom duplicate rules, the sales team administrator can prevent duplicate records from being created for contacts or other objects. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_prevent_duplicates.htm &type=5

C) Create custom matching rules.

Matching rules are rules that determine how duplicate records are identified by comparing fields and applying fuzzy matching algorithms. Matching rules can be standard or custom. Standard matching rules are predefined by Salesforce and apply to common objects such as contacts, accounts, or leads. Custom matching rules are created by administrators and apply to any standard or custom object. By creating custom matching rules, the sales team administrator can define how duplicate records are detected for contacts or other objects.

The Setup Audit Trail is a tool that allows you to view and download a log of changes made in your org’s Setup area. The log shows up to 20 fields of information for each change, such as who made it, when it was made, what type of change it was, and what values were changed. You can use the Setup Audit Trail to track configuration changes directly in production and identify any unauthorized or problematic changes.

Salesforce Authenticator is an app that adds an extra layer of security for logging into Salesforce by requiring users to verify their identity using their mobile device after entering their username and password on Salesforce login page. To see how many users have successfully used Salesforce Authenticator since it was rolled out, an administrator can use two methods:

A) Create a new view In Identity Verification History, specifying Method.

Identity Verification History is a tool that shows information about each identity verification event for users in your org, such as the date and time, the verification method used, the IP address, and the status of the verification. By creating a new view in Identity Verification History and specifying the method as Salesforce Authenticator, an administrator can see how many users have used the app to verify their identity when logging in. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.identity_verification_history.htm &type=5

D) Export Login History and filter based off of Authentication Method Reference.

Login History is a tool that shows information about each login attempt for users in your org, such as the date and time, the username, the source IP address, the login type, and the status of the login. By exporting Login History as a CSV file and filtering based on the Authentication Method Reference column, an administrator can see how many users have used Salesforce Authenticator as their authentication method when logging in. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.monitoring_login_history.htm &type=5

Two options that the administrator should use to meet these criteria are:

Share with roles and subordinates of the finance director role. This option allows you to grant access to records based on the role hierarchy of your org. You can share records with users who are in a specific role or in roles below that role in the hierarchy. In this case, you can share records with roles and subordinates of the finance director role, which includes all the members of the finance team.

Create a criteria-based sharing rule where the won field = true. This option allows you to grant access to records based on certain field values or formulas. You can create a criteria-based sharing rule on opportunities that grants access to records where the won field is true, which means that the opportunity stage is closed won.

The other two options are incorrect because:

Make an owner-based sharing rule where the won field = true is not an option because owner-based sharing rules do not allow you to specify field values or formulas as criteria. Owner-based sharing rules only allow you to share records based on who owns them or what role or group they belong to.

Select all opportunities owned by the sales manager role is not an option because it does not meet the criteria of sharing all closed won opportunities. It only shares opportunities that are owned by users who are in the sales manager role, regardless of their stage.

Two considerations that the administrator should remember about roll-up summary fields are:

Roll-up types include COUNT, SUM, and AVG. A roll-up type is a function that determines how the data from the child records is aggregated and displayed on the parent record. The available roll-up types are COUNT, which counts the number of child records; SUM, which adds up the values of a numeric field on the child records; AVG, which calculates the average value of a numeric field on the child records; MIN, which displays the lowest value of a field on the child records; and MAX, which displays the highest value of a field on the child records.

Roll-up summary fields are created on the master side of a master-detail relationship. A master-detail relationship is a type of relationship that links two objects together such that the master object controls certain behaviors of the detail object, such as security and deletion. A roll-up summary field is a type of field that displays a value that is calculated from child records related to a parent record. Roll-up summary fields can only be created on the master object of a master-detail relationship or on a lookup relationship if it is set as required.

The other two options are incorrect because:

Roll-up summary fields do not prevent the conversion of a master-detail relationship to a lookup. They only prevent it if they reference a formula field that includes another relationship.

Rollup fields are not calculated prior to save. They are calculated after save and may take some time to update.

A public group is a grouping of users, roles, roles and subordinates, or other groups that can be used to share access to records or folders. A sharing rule is a rule that grants additional access to records based on certain criteria or ownership. In this case, the administrator should create a public group for the renewals team and create a criteria based sharing rule on opportunities that grants read-only access to the group for all closed won opportunities. This way, the renewals team can see all the opportunities that are eligible for renewal while keeping the account private.
