Advanced-Administrator Salesforce Certified Platform Administrators II (Plat-Admn-301) Questions and Answers

Identity Verification History stores up to 20,000 records of users’ identity verification attempts for various features that require MFA, such as logging in from an unknown browser or device, resetting a password, or changing personal information. The data is stored for up to 6 months and then deleted automatically. Therefore, if a user has been inactive for more than 6 months or if there are more than 20,000 records in total, their data may be missing from Identity Verification History.

Shield Platform Encryption is a Salesforce feature that allows you to encrypt sensitive data at rest while preserving critical platform functionality. It uses a combination of tenant secrets, encryption keys, and masking policies to protect your data. A field encryption policy is a set of rules that defines which fields are encrypted and how they are masked when displayed. A field encryption policy can be used to encrypt and mask the identification number field, except for the last two digits. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_pe_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_pe_field_encryption_policies.htm &type=5

Roll-up Summary calculations are performed after processes and workflows are executed, which means that any changes made by processes or workflows will not be reflected in the roll-up summary field until after the transaction is committed. This could cause inaccurate or outdated information to be delivered to the agent if the flow relies on the roll-up summary field value.

A change set is a tool that allows you to send customizations from one Salesforce org to another. A change set can contain components such as objects, fields, profiles, permission sets, workflows, and more. You can use change sets to migrate changes from a sandbox org to a production org or between two sandbox orgs that are affiliated with the same production org. In this case, you can deploy a change set from the sandbox to production that includes the Amount field and all the custom profiles that need access to it. This way, you can update the field-level security settings for the field on each profile in one deployment.

Creating a master-detail relationship on the Payment with a Roll-up Summary field on the Invoice will build this functionality. A master-detail relationship creates a parent-child relationship between two objects, where the child records inherit the sharing and security settings of their parent. A Roll-up Summary field calculates values from related child records, such as count, sum, min, or max. In this case, the Roll-up Summary field on the Invoice can calculate the sum of all Payments related to it and subtract it from the Invoice amount to get the current outstanding value. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.relationships_considerations.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_about_roll_up_summary_fields.htm &type=5

One of the IDs in the batch referenced a record that was in the recycle bin because deleting records with Bulk API does not delete records permanently but moves them to the recycle bin. Therefore, if a record ID in the batch matches an existing record ID in the recycle bin, an ‘entity is deleted’ error will occur.

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.

Data Categories are a way to organize and classify knowledge articles into a hierarchical structure based on topics or criteria. Data Categories can help service reps quickly narrow down the number of articles by filtering or browsing by category. Data Categories can also be used to control the visibility and access of articles for different users or roles.

To help the finance team use Opportunity data to keep an eye on their pipeline without manually calculating anticipated income for the quarter, the administrator should set up collaborative forecasting. Collaborative forecasting allows users to view quota against open pipeline and make adjustments based on changing business conditions. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.forecasts3_overview.htm &type=5

The Automated Case User is the default user for cases created via Email-to-Case. This user needs to have permissions to the new record type in order to assign it to the incoming cases. If the Automated Case User does not have the permissions, the cases will receive a different record type based on the organization-wide default settings.

UESTION NO: 187

The administrator at Cloud Kicks recently replaced several case workflow rules with a single before save flow. Since this change, some cases are routing In unexpected ways.

What could be the cause or the charges to routing?

A. The old workflow rules are still active and impacting routing.

B. The flow precedes assignment rules; workflow rules are after assignment rules.

C. Assignment rules no longer reference the correct fields.

D. Multiple automation tools have been used and the automation is executed in a different order.

Answer: D

Multiple automation tools have been used and the automation is executed in a different order. This could cause some cases to route in unexpected ways, because the before save flow might override or conflict with the assignment rules or other automation tools that run after the record is saved. The administrator should review the order of execution and ensure that the flow logic is consistent with the other automation tools. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_concepts_trigger_order.htm &type=5 https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_triggers_order_of_execution.htm

Cloning a sandbox creates a duplicate copy of an existing sandbox with the same type, name, description, configuration, and license type as the original sandbox. Cloning a sandbox is useful when you need to create multiple sandboxes with the same metadata and data for testing or development purposes. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_sandbox_clone.htm &type=5

Knowledge is a feature that allows administrators to create, manage, and share articles that provide information and solutions for common issues or questions. Knowledge articles can be searched by users using keywords or phrases.

To improve its customers’ ability to search for knowledge articles, UMS can use two options:

B) Create synonyms for specific search terms.

Synonyms are words or phrases that have the same or similar meanings, such as “TV” and “television” or “fix” and “repair”. By creating synonyms for specific search terms, administrators can ensure that customers can find relevant articles even if they use different words or spellings than the ones used in the articles. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.knowledge_search_synonyms.htm &type=5

D) Promote specific search terms for specific articles.

Promoted search terms are keywords or phrases that administrators can associate with specific articles to boost their relevance and ranking in search results. By promoting specific search terms for specific articles, administrators can ensure that customers can find the most helpful or popular articles for their queries. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.knowledge_search_promotion.htm &type=5

Chat must be routed with Omni-Channel in Lightning Experience because Omni-Channel is the only way to route chats to agents in Lightning Experience1. Chat can only be added to Console navigation Lightning apps because Chat is a console app feature and requires a console app with a console navigation style2. References: 1 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.live_agent_chat_omnichannel.htm &type=5 2 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.live_agent_chat_app.htm &type=5

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

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_elements_triggers.htm &type=5

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. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_matching_rules.htm &type=5

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

 To make sure that the changes are in production, you need to add the components to an outbound change set and deploy it to production. A change set is a tool that allows you to send customizations from one Salesforce org to another. A change set can contain components such as objects, fields, profiles, permission sets, workflows, and more. You can use change sets to migrate changes from a sandbox org to a production org or between two sandbox orgs that are affiliated with the same production org. In this case, you need to add the master-detail field and all the affected profiles to an outbound change set in your sandbox org and then deploy it to your production org. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.changesets.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.changesets_components_field.htm &type=5

To create a training sandbox with 160MB of test data that needs to be refreshed every other day, NTO should use either Partial or Developer Pro sandboxes. Partial sandboxes have a storage limit of 10GB and can be refreshed every 5 days. Developer Pro sandboxes have a storage limit of 1GB and can be refreshed every day. Both sandboxes can include test data from production. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_sandbox_environments.htm &type=5

Flows are tools that automate business processes by collecting data and performing actions in your org or an external system. Flows can be triggered by various events such as record creation, updates, or invocations from other processes or flows. Flows can also send email alerts as part of their actions. To send a notification when a record is deleted and by whom, and to maintain their own discovery information, an administrator can use a flow that runs when a record is deleted, queries the record owner’s email address and discovery information from another object or variable, and sends an email alert with those details. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_concepts.htm &type=5

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

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.

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.

The sales manager and system administrator will be able to edit this new contact record because they are either the owner or have Modify All Data permission respectively. Users above or below the sales manager in the role hierarchy will not be able to edit this contact record because contacts are controlled by parent and accounts are set to Public Read Only. All users in the organization will be able to view but not edit this contact record because accounts are set to Public Read Only. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.admin_sharing.htm &type=5

To show forecast numbers by territory regardless of who owns the record, CK should enable Territory Forecast. To forecast based on role hierarchy, CK should enable Role Hierarchy Forecast. To match the Territory Forecast to the Hierarchy Forecast model, CK should modify the Territory Forecast accordingly.

A cross-filter lets you filter records based on related objects and their fields. For example, you can filter accounts that have at least one opportunity from this year and at least one completed activity in the last 30 days. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.reports_cross_filters.htm &type=5

A dashboard is a visual display of key metrics and trends for records in your org. Dashboards allow users to quickly monitor performance and identify trends or issues at a glance. To make it easier for users to see a dashboard they use frequently, administrators can add it to their home page using Lightning App Builder. This way, users can see their dashboard every time they log in or go to their home tab without having to navigate elsewhere. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.dashboards_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.dashboards_add_to_home_page.htm &type=5

Dynamic actions are actions that appear on Lightning record pages based on criteria such as field values or user profiles. Dynamic actions allow administrators to customize which actions are available for users on different record types or page layouts without creating multiple page layouts for each scenario. By using dynamic actions and conditional visibility for accounts at AW Computing, administrators can show only relevant actions for customer service and sales users based on their situation. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.dynamic_actions_overview.htm &type=5

While the Schema Builder is a powerful tool in Salesforce for visually creating and managing custom objects and fields, there are certain configurations that must be done in Object Manager rather than Schema Builder. One of these configurations is enabling field history tracking.

Field History Tracking:

Field history tracking cannot be configured directly within Schema Builder. This setting must be enabled from within the Object Manager, where administrators can specify which fields on an object should have their changes tracked.

Enabling field history tracking involves navigating to the object in Object Manager, accessing the field history tracking settings, and selecting specific fields to track.

Limitations of Schema Builder:

Schema Builder is useful for quickly creating custom objects, relationships, and fields, but it does not support all configurations, such as enabling field history tracking, defining object-level permissions, or setting advanced object configurations.

For these types of configurations, administrators need to return to Object Manager where these settings are available.

Incorrect options:

Add custom fields to the page layout: This task is typically done within Object Manager, but Schema Builder does allow customization of page layouts to a certain extent through drag-and-drop.

Make available for Customer Portal: Schema Builder does not control portal availability; however, this is managed through Object Manager settings related to record visibility for portal users.

Allow Reports and Activities: This setting can be configured in Schema Builder when initially creating an object, but further refinements and permission settings must often be done in Object Manager.

In conclusion, enabling field history tracking requires access to the Object Manager, as it cannot be configured through Schema Builder.

Account teams are groups of users who work together on an account. Administrators can enable account teams and grant team members different levels of access to accounts and related records such as contacts, opportunities, and cases. By using account teams, Cloud Kicks can grant engineers access to the necessary accounts when they need assistance from them, while maintaining data security for other accounts that they do not need to access. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.accountteam.htm &type=5

Flow is the automation tool that should be configured to utilize the major listing service endpoint. Flow is a tool that allows administrators to automate complex business processes by building flows that can collect, update, or delete data, invoke Apex code, call external services, and more. Flow can use an Apex action or an HTTP request action to send messages to an external endpoint using REST API

Using a Get Record component allows the flow to dynamically retrieve records based on criteria or record IDs without hard coding them. This makes the flow more flexible and maintainable. Updating record elements outside the flow loop prevents unnecessary DML operations and reduces the risk of hitting governor limits.

A validation rule on the Opportunity Product object to require custom date fields based on the product family will ensure that the data is captured properly. A validation rule can check if the product family matches the service plan and if so, require the start and end date fields to be filled out. This way, AW Computing can capture the term length for each service plan sold. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.fields_about_validation_rules.htm &type=5

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. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.entitlements_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.entitlements_process.htm &type=5

Delegated administration allows administrators to delegate certain user management tasks to other users without granting them full administrative privileges. Delegated administrators can create and manage users only within specified roles or public groups. This option will meet the requirement of allowing each division to create and manage users only within their division. References: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=delegated_administration_overview.htm &type=5

Upsert is an operation that can either update existing records or insert new records based on the External Id field. This way, the administrator can match existing leads and add new ones with Data Loader. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_loader_upsert.htm &type=5

VisualStudio Code is a recommended tool to make the change in the displayed text in one of the Lightning web components. VisualStudio Code is an integrated development environment (IDE) that supports Salesforce development tools such as Salesforce Extensions for Visual Studio Code, Salesforce CLI, and Lightning Web Components. You can use VisualStudio Code to create, edit, debug, and deploy Lightning web components and other Salesforce metadata. To make the change in the displayed text, you need to open the HTML file of the Lightning web component in VisualStudio Code and modify the text element accordingly. References: https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/vscode https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/en/lwc/lwc.create_components

Identity verification history and login history are two areas that the administrator can review to understand potential root causes of multi-factor authentication issues. Identity verification history shows the methods and results of identity verification attempts for a user, such as email verification, SMS verification, or app verification. Login history shows the status, source, and location of login attempts for a user, as well as any login errors or challenges that occurred. These two areas can help the administrator identify if the user entered the correct verification code, if the user’s device or app is compatible with multi-factor authentication, or if there are any network or security issues that prevent successful verification. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.identity_verification_history.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.monitoring_login_history.htm &type=5

Product schedules are features that allow administrators to track revenue or quantity over time for products in opportunities or orders. Product schedules can be either revenue schedules or quantity schedules, depending on whether the product is sold by amount or by quantity. Product schedules can be either standard or customizable, depending on whether they use predefined settings or custom settings.

Line item schedules are records that represent each installment of revenue or quantity for a product over time. Line item schedules are created automatically when a product with a product schedule is added to an opportunity line item or an order product.

One limitation of product schedules is that line item schedules are unavailable in Process Builder and Workflow. This means that administrators cannot use these tools to automate actions based on line item schedules, such as sending email alerts, creating tasks, updating fields, or invoking flows. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.forecasts3_product_schedules.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.orders_line_item_schedules.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.product_schedule_considerations.htm &type=5

A session security level is a setting that determines how secure a user’s session is based on factors such as their login method, their IP address, their browser, or their device. Administrators can configure different session security levels for different user profiles and assign different actions or permissions to each session security level.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a feature that requires users to verify their identity using two or more factors of authentication when they log in to Salesforce, such as their username and password plus a verification code or an app-generated token. MFA can enhance the security of user sessions and prevent unauthorized access.

If an administrator recently implemented MFA with a standard security level selected and is receiving cases that users are unable to log in, they should check the session security level required at login on the user profile. This setting determines what session security level users need to have when they log in based on their profile. If this setting is higher than the standard security level, users may not be able to log in with MFA alone and may need additional factors of authentication. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_sessions.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.identity_mfa.htm &type=5

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.

The Delete permission is missing on the user for Accounts is what is preventing the user from completing the merge. Merging accounts is a way to combine up to three duplicate accounts into one master record and update the related records accordingly. Merging accounts requires the Delete permission on accounts because merging accounts involves deleting the duplicate records and keeping only the master record.

A record type allows administrators to offer different business processes, picklist values, and page layouts to different users based on their profiles. By creating a record type for the type of property (single-family home or condo), DreamHouse Realty can assign different page layouts to each record type that display only relevant fields for each property type. The record type can also determine which sales process and path are available for each opportunity. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_recordtype.htm &type=5

A record-triggered flow lets you automate actions when a record is created or updated. You can use scheduled paths to schedule actions relative to a date field on the record, such as close date. You should configure the trigger to flow after the record is saved so that you can access the updated field values. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_concepts_trigger_types_record.htm &type=5

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

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_object.htm &type=5

Creating a new quote record for each of the different product configurations and syncing the most likely to be purchased back to the opportunity will ensure that their quotes and opportunities reflect their sales. This way, sales reps can show customers different options and prices, and keep track of which one is most likely to close. Syncing a quote with an opportunity will update the opportunity amount, stage, and expected revenue fields based on the quote information. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.quotes_overview.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.quotes_syncing.htm &type=5

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

To ensure that secure fields remain protected in email templates, administrators should remove the fields from the email. Email templates can expose sensitive information if they contain fields with secure data. By excluding these fields, administrators can prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information through email communication.

Removing Secure Fields from Email Templates:

When creating or updating email templates, administrators should carefully assess the fields included and remove any that contain sensitive information, such as encrypted fields or fields that contain Personal Identifiable Information (PII).

This approach ensures that secure information is not unintentionally shared via email, aligning with best practices for data security and minimizing exposure risks.

Implications of Including Secure Data in Emails:

Secure fields, particularly those that contain sensitive or confidential information, should be restricted from emails to avoid potential data breaches.

Email communication often lacks the same security controls as the Salesforce platform, making it essential to limit the sharing of sensitive data.

Incorrect options:

Implement GDPR: While GDPR compliance ensures proper data handling practices, it does not directly prevent secure fields from being included in emails.

Set up an approval process for email alerts: An approval process can control the sending of email alerts but does not inherently protect secure fields within the email content.

Use classic encrypted fields: Encrypted fields add a layer of security for data at rest within Salesforce but do not provide specific protections for data included in email templates. Moreover, encrypted fields cannot be referenced in email templates.

In conclusion, the most effective way to ensure that secure fields are not exposed through email templates is to remove these fields from the template altogether, avoiding the inclusion of sensitive data in email communications.

To use outbound change sets, a user needs to have the Create and Upload Change Sets permission on their profile or permission set. This permission allows users to create change sets in a sandbox or Developer Edition organization and upload them to another organization. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.changesets_create_upload_perm.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

Use separate record types, page layouts, and sales processes for the Rental and Real Estate Teams is how the administrator should extend the Opportunity object to meet the teams’ different needs. Record types are a way to offer different business processes, picklist values, and page layouts to different users based on their profiles or permission sets. Page layouts are a way to control the layout and organization of fields, buttons, related lists, and other components on a record page. Sales processes are a way to define the stages that an opportunity goes through from creation to close. By using separate record types, page layouts, and sales processes for each team, the administrator can customize the opportunity object according to their different requirements and preferences.

Entitlement templates are a way to automatically create and associate entitlements with products or service contracts. They can help simplify the management of entitlements and ensure that customers receive the correct level of service. Entitlement templates can also be used to define service levels, milestones, and entitlement processes for different types of products or service contracts.

Salesforce Authenticator is an app that allows users to verify their identity when logging in to Salesforce using two-factor authentication (2FA). 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to enter a verification code or approve a notification on their mobile device after entering their username and password.

To look at how many users have successfully used Salesforce Authenticator since it was rolled out, an administrator can use two ways:

A) Run a session setting report, specifying login methods by user.

A session setting report is a report that shows information about users’ login sessions, such as login time, location, IP address, browser, platform, etc. A session setting report can also show the login methods used by users, such as password, verification code, or notification. By running a session setting report, specifying login methods by user, an administrator can see how many users have used Salesforce Authenticator to log in to Salesforce.

C) Create a new view in Identity Verification History, specifying Method.

Identity Verification History is a page that shows the history of identity verification attempts for each user in the org. Identity verification history includes information such as date, time, status, method, and IP address of each attempt. By creating a new view in Identity Verification History, specifying Method as a filter criterion, an administrator can see how many users have used Salesforce Authenticator to verify their identity when logging in to Salesforce.

One possible cause of unexpected changes to record values is having multiple automation tools that update the same field on the same object. This can create conflicts and overwrite each other’s values. To resolve this issue, the administrator should consolidate automation tools and use only one tool per object and field combination. This can help avoid confusion and ensure consistent results.

A lookup relationship with Read/Write sharing setting is the recommended option to use when adding a field to Case Outcome custom object. A lookup relationship is a type of relationship that links two objects together and allows users to associate one record with another. A lookup relationship does not affect the security or deletion of either record and can be optional or required. In this case, you can create a lookup relationship field on Case Outcome object that references Case object and allows users to link multiple Case records to multiple Case Outcome records. You can also set the sharing setting for the lookup field to Read/Write, which means that users who have access to the parent record can also access and edit the child record.

As explained in question 3, a price book is a list of products and their prices for a specific segment of customers or market. By creating a new price book for the U.K product pricing, Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) can offer different prices for their products in the U.K market due to shipping and raw material cost differences. The price book can also specify which currency is used for the prices, such as pounds or euros. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.products_pricebooks_def.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.

The error condition formula of a validation rule should return TRUE when the validation rule should fire and display an error message. In this case, the validation rule should fire when the Title field has the value of ‘CEO’ and the Phone field is blank. The formula Title = ‘CEO’ && ISBLANK(Phone) returns TRUE when both conditions are met, and FALSE otherwise.

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.

A custom summary formula is a formula that calculates values from summary fields in reports such as sums, averages, counts, etc. Custom summary formulas can use functions such as PREVGROUPVAL which returns the value of a field from the previous row at the same grouping level. By using a custom summary formula with the PREVGROUPVAL function, an administrator can create a report to calculate the year-over-year change in the dollar amount of a company’s opportunities by subtracting the amount from the previous year from the amount from the current year and dividing by the amount from the previous year.

The most suitable tool to identify potential security risks associated with Lightning Web Components is the Health Check. Health Check allows Salesforce administrators to evaluate and monitor the security posture of their Salesforce org by comparing its settings against Salesforce's recommended security baseline. This feature provides visibility into settings like session security, password policies, and more, which can directly impact the security of custom apps using Lightning Web Components.

Health Check:

Salesforce Health Check examines various security settings in your Salesforce org and provides a score based on how closely your settings align with Salesforce's recommended security baseline.

By using this tool, administrators can identify vulnerabilities and see specific actions to remediate any security gaps found within the org.

Health Check is especially relevant when evaluating new custom applications and components since it can highlight areas that require tightening security to meet organizational standards.

Other options listed:

Master Encryption Keys is relevant for managing encryption but not directly for identifying security risks.

Salesforce Optimizer is used for overall performance and usage insights and doesn’t specifically focus on security assessments.

Self-signed Certificates are primarily used for secure communications and do not serve as a tool for security risk assessment.

Therefore, Health Check is the best tool to help the administrator expose potential security risks within the custom Lightning Web Components.
