Question 1

A national nonprofit organization is using Salesforce to recruit members. The recruitment process requires a member to be matched with a volunteer opportunity. Given the following:

1. A record is created in Project__ c and used to track the project through completion.

2. The member may then start volunteering and is required to track their volunteer hours, which is stored in VTOTime_c object related to the project.

3. Ability to view or edit the VTOTime__c object needs to be the same as the Project__ c

record.

4. Managers must see total hours volunteered while viewing the Project__ c record.

Which data relationship should the data architect use to support this requirement when creating the custom VTOTime__c object?



Answer : C

A master-detail field on VTOTime__c to Project__c is the data relationship that the data architect should use to support the requirement when creating the custom VTOTime__c object. A master-detail relationship creates a parent-child relationship between two objects, where the master record controls certain behaviors of the detail record, such as security, ownership, deletion, and roll-up summary fields. By using a master-detail field on VTOTime__c to Project__c, you can ensure that the ability to view or edit the VTOTime__c object is the same as the Project__c record, and that managers can see the total hours volunteered while viewing the Project__c record using a roll-up summary field.


Question 2

Northern Trail Outfitters is streaming IoT data from connected devices to a cloud database. Every 24 hours. 100,000 records are generated.

NIO employees will need to see these lol records within Salesforce and generate weekly reports on it. Developers may also need to write programmatic logic to aggregate the records and incorporate them into workflows.

Which data pattern will allow a data architect to satisfy these requirements, while also keeping limits in mind?



Answer : D

Persistence is the data pattern that will allow a data architect to satisfy the requirements, while also keeping limits in mind. Persistence means storing data from external sources in Salesforce objects, either standard or custom. This allows you to access the data within Salesforce and use it for reporting, analytics, workflows, and other features. Persistence also helps you avoid hitting API limits or performance issues when accessing large volumes of data from external systems. You can use various tools such as Data Loader, Bulk API, or Platform Events to persist IoT data from connected devices to a cloud database in Salesforce.


Question 3

A consumer products company has decided to use Salesforce for its contact center. The contact center agents need access to the following information in Service Console when a customer contacts them:

1. Customer browsing activity on its website stored on its on premise system

2. Customer interactions with sales associates at its retail stores maintained in Salesforce

3. Contact center interactions maintained in Salesforce

4. Email campaign activity to customer from its marketing systems.

What should a data architect do to fulfill these requirements with minimum development effort in Salesforce?



Answer : D

Building a customer view in Service Console with components that show website data and marketing data as mashup is the best option to fulfill the requirement with minimum development effort in Salesforce. A mashup is a technique that combines data from different sources into a single user interface. You can use Visualforce pages or Lightning components to create mashups that display data from external systems such as your website and marketing system. This way, you can provide your contact center agents with a comprehensive view of the customer information they need.


Question 4

Northern Trail Outfitters Is planning to build a consent form to record customer authorization for marketing purposes.

What should a data architect recommend to fulfill this requirement?



Answer : C

The Authorization Form Consent object is a standard object that allows you to capture customer consent for marketing purposes. It has fields such as Consent Captured Date, Consent Captured Source, Consent Description, and Consent Status. You can use this object to create consent forms and track customer responses. This is the best option to fulfill the requirement, as it does not require any custom development or external solution.


Question 5

Northern Trail Outfitters would like to report on the type of customers. A custom field for customer type was created in Account object. Users need to be limited to the following defined choices when entering information in this field:

1. High Value

2. Medium Value

3. Low Value

Which strategy should a data architect recommend to configure customer type?



Answer : B

single-select restricted picklist with defined choices can be a way to configure customer type. The article states that picklists are fields that allow users to select one or more predefined values from a list, and restricted picklists ensure that users can only select from the defined values. This can help to limit the choices for customer type and ensure data quality.


Question 6

Northern Trail Outfitters is concerned because some of its data is sensitive and needs to be identified for access.

What should be used to provide ways to filter and identify the sensitive data?



Answer : D

According to the official Salesforce guide1, data classification metadata is a feature that allows administrators to classify data fields based on their sensitivity level, such as confidential, restricted, or general. Data classification metadata can be used to filter and identify sensitive data fields and apply appropriate security measures, such as encryption, masking, or auditing. Option D is the correct answer because it suggests using data classification metadata to provide ways to filter and identify sensitive data. Option A is incorrect because data grouping metadata is not a feature in Salesforce. Option B is incorrect because field-level security is a feature that controls the visibility and editability of fields based on user profiles or permission sets, but it does not provide ways to filter and identify sensitive data. Option C is incorrect because creating a custom checkbox denoting sensitive data is not a scalable or reliable solution, as it requires manual maintenance and does not enforce any security measures.


Question 7

Universal Containers (UC) has lead assignment rules to assign leads to owners. Leads not routed by assignment rules are assigned to a dummy user. Sales rep are complaining of high load times and issues with accessing leads assigned to the dummy user.

What should a data architect recommend to solve these performance issues?



Answer : B

: According to the official Salesforce guide1, assigning leads to a single dummy user can cause performance issues and data skew, especially if the dummy user owns more than 10,000 records. Data skew occurs when a single user or a small number of users own a disproportionately large number of records, which can affect query performance and sharing calculations. Option B is the correct answer because it suggests creating multiple dummy users and assigning leads to them, which can distribute the load and reduce data skew. Option A is incorrect because assigning the dummy user to the last role in the role hierarchy does not affect the performance or data skew issues. Option C is incorrect because assigning the dummy user to the highest role in the role hierarchy can worsen the performance and data skew issues, as it will grant access to more users and records. Option D is incorrect because periodically deleting leads can cause data loss and does not address the root cause of the problem.
