Question#1

The accounting team at Universal Containers is looking to roll out two new custom objects: a parent Invoice object and a child Payment object. Whenever a Payment record is created, the Invoice object should be updated to reflect the current outstanding value of the Invoice.
What should the administrator do to build this functionality?

A. Create a lookup-relationship on the Payment with a Roll-up Summary field on the Invoice.
B. Create a lookup-relationship on the Payment and a workflow cross object field update.
C. Create a master-detail relationship on the Payment and a workflow cross object field update.
D. Create a master-detail relationship on the Payment with a Roll-up Summary field on the Invoice.

Explanation:
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.

Question#2

A user at Cloud Kicks has informed the administrator that they are unable to log in to Salesforce via multi-factor authentication.
Which two area should the administrator review to understand potential root causes? Choose 2 answers

A. Identity Verification History
B. Login History
C. Debug Logs
D. Setup Audit Trail

Explanation:
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.

Question#3

The administrator at Universal Containers recently rolled out Email-to-Case functionality. Even though a new record type was created and specified in the Email-to-Case settings, all incoming cases are receiving a different record type.
What is likely causing the record type discrepancy?

A. The new Case Owner needs permissions to the new record type.
B. The Automated Case User needs permissions to the new record type.
C. A Case assignment rule is preventing the record type from being updated.
D. A validation rule is preventing the record type from being updated.

Explanation:
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.

Question#4

An auto-response rule sends en email using Template when the field Case Source Is 'email' and Template when Case Source is blank. A Process Builder updates Case Source to 'email' when a case is created using Email-to-Case and to web' when a case Is created using Web-to-Case. Otherwise, Case Source Is blank.
What will occur when a case is created from an Incoming email?

A. Case Source updates to 'email' and an email is sent out using Template2.
B. An email is sent out using Template and then Case Source updates to email'.
C. An email la sent out using Template and then Case Source updates to 'email'.
D. Case Source updates to email and an email Is sent out using Template1.

Explanation:
Case Source updates to ‘email’ before the record is saved because the Process Builder runs before the auto-response rule. Then, an email is sent out using Template2 because the auto-response rule evaluates the Case Source value after it is updated by the Process Builder and matches the criteria for Template2

Question#5

An administrator has found a free app on the AppExchanged and would like to install it.
Which three items should the administrator take to consideration before installed he managed package? Choose 3 answers

A. Custom objects and custom fields used by the app count against the org’s limits.
B. Managed apps do not undergo a formal security review by Salesforce.
C. Apps may require certain Salesforce editions or features to be enabled.
D. Apps may require external, third-party web services to function properly.
E. Apps must be installed in production before the app can be installed in a sandbox.

Explanation:
Before installing a managed package from the AppExchange, the administrator should take into consideration several factors, such as:
Custom objects and custom fields used by the app count against the org’s limits. The administrator should check how many custom objects and fields are available in their org and how many are used by the app.
Apps may require certain Salesforce editions or features to be enabled. The administrator should check the app’s requirements and compatibility with their org’s edition and features.
Apps may require external, third-party web services to function properly. The administrator should check if the app integrates with any external services and if they need to set up any authentication or configuration for them.
The other two options are incorrect because:
Managed apps do undergo a formal security review by Salesforce before they are listed on the AppExchange.
Apps can be installed in a sandbox before they are installed in production.
