Question 1 of 557

Universal Containers manages internal projects by department using a custom object called Projects. Only employees in the project's respective department should have view access to all of the department's project records. If an employee changes job roles and moves to another department, the employee should no longer have access to the projects within their former department.
Which two options will meet these requirements assuming the organization-wide default for Projects is set to Private? (Choose two.)

Create a criteria-based sharing rule using the Project's department that grants access to users by profiles.

Create a criteria-based sharing rule using the Project's department that grants access to users by permission sets.

Create a criteria-based sharing rule using the Project's department that grants access to users by roles.

Create a criteria-based sharing rule using the Project's department that grants access to users by public groups.

Correct Answer: C, D

To ensure that only employees in the project's respective department have view access to all of the department's project records when the organization-wide default for Projects is set to Private, it is essential to use criteria-based sharing rules. These rules can be configured to grant access based on roles and public groups. By using roles, access is dynamically controlled as employees move between departments, ensuring they only have access to their current department's projects. Public groups allow a similar level of flexibility and dynamic management. Thus, using criteria-based sharing rules that grant access to users by roles and by public groups will meet the requirements effectively.

Question 2 of 557

Universal Containers has a customer base where many customers have the same or similar company names.
Which functionality should be configured to improve an end user's search experience? (Choose two.)

Update the account search layouts search filter fields.

Update the account search layouts accounts tab columns displayed.

Update the account search layouts search results columns displayed.

Update the account search layouts list view filter settings.

Correct Answer: A, C

To improve the end user's search experience when dealing with similar company names, it is essential to configure both the search filters and the search results. Updating the account search layouts search filter fields allows users to filter search results based on specific criteria, making it easier to narrow down the list and find the right account. Additionally, updating the account search layouts search results columns displayed ensures that the most relevant and distinguishable information is presented in the search results, enabling users to quickly identify the correct account. Therefore, the best functionalities to configure are the search filter fields and the search results columns.

Question 3 of 557

An app builder creates an Account validation rule on the Industry field that will throw an error if the length of the field is longer than 6 characters. Another app builder creates a workflow with a field update that sets the Industry field to Technology whenever the Billing City field is set to San Francisco.
What will happen the next time a sales person saves an Account with a Billing City of San Francisco?

The record will save and the Industry field will change to Technology.

The record will not save and no error message will be displayed.

The record will not save the validation rule's error message will be displayed.

The record will save but the Industry field will not change to Territory.

Correct Answer: A

When a sales person saves an Account with a Billing City of San Francisco, the workflow rule will trigger a field update that sets the Industry field to Technology. Although validation rules are typically evaluated before workflows, the updates made by workflows are not re-evaluated by validation rules within the same transaction. Therefore, the record will save successfully, and the Industry field will change to Technology despite the validation rule on the Industry field.

Question 4 of 557

What is a true statement when deleting a dashboard?

Deleting a dashboard also deletes the components within it. It does not delete the custom reports used by the components.

Deleting a dashboard does not move the dashboard to the Recycle Bin and therefore the dashboard cannot be recovered.

Deleting a dashboard also deletes the components within it as well as the custom reports used by the components.

Deleting a dashboard requires a user to first edit the components to remove the underlying reports.

Correct Answer: A

Deleting a dashboard also deletes the components within it. It does not delete the custom reports used by the components. Components are visual elements like charts and tables that are part of the dashboard itself, while custom reports are data sources that remain intact even after the dashboard is deleted.

Question 5 of 557

A junction object has two Master-Detail relationships, a primary and a secondary master object.
What happens to a junction object record when both associated master records are deleted?

The junction object record is permanently deleted and can't be restored.

The delete operation cannot be performed on both master records.

The delete operation is not allowed with Roll-up summary fields defined.

The junction object records is deleted and placed in the recycle bin.
