Question 3

Users have noticed that when they click on a report in a dashboard to view the report details, the
values in the report are different from the values displayed on the dashboard.
What are the two reasons this is likely to occur?
Choose 2 answers

  • A. The report needs to be refreshed.
  • B. The dashboard needs to be refreshed.
  • C. The current user does not have access to the report folder.
  • D. The running dashboard user and viewer have different permissions.
Answer:

B, D


Explanation:
Dashboards show data from source reports as visual components that provide a snapshot of key
metrics and performance indicators. Dashboards need to be refreshed manually or scheduled to run
on a regular basis to reflect the most recent data from the reports. The running user of a dashboard
determines whose security settings are applied when the dashboard is run. If the running user is
different from the viewer of the dashboard, they may see different data based on their permissions
and sharing settings. Reference:

Question 7

Ursa Major Solar uses Opportunity to track sales of solar energy products. The company has two
separate sales teams that focus on different energy markets. The Services team also wants to use
Opportunity to track installation. All three teams will need to use different fields and stages.
How Should the administrator configure this requirement?

  • A. Create three sales processes. Create three record types and one page layout.
  • B. Create one sales process. Create three record types and three page layouts.
  • C. Create three sales processes. Create three record types and three page layouts.
  • D. Create one sales process. Create one record type and three page layouts.
Answer:

C


Explanation:
A sales process is a set of stages that an opportunity goes through as it moves from creation to close.
A record type is a way to offer different business processes, picklist values, and page layouts to
different users based on their profiles. A page layout controls the layout and organization of detail
and edit pages for a specific object and record type combination. To meet the requirement of having
different fields and stages for each team, you need to create three sales processes for each market
segment, three record types for each sales process, and three page layouts for each record type.

Question 8

The service manager at Ursa Major Solar wants to let customers know that they have received their
cases via email and their websites. Medium-priority and high-priority cases should receive different
email notifications than low-priority cases. The administrator has created three email templates for
this purpose.
How should an administrator configure this requirement?

  • A. Include three assignment rules that fire when cases are created. Add a filter for case priority. Select the appropriate email template for each rule.
  • B. Add three auto-response rules. Configure one rule entry criteria for each rule and set a filter for case priority. Select the appropriate email template for each rule entry.
  • C. Configure one workflow rule that fires when cases are created. Add a filter for case priority. Select the appropriate email template for the rule.
  • D. Create one auto-response rule. Configure three rule entry criteria and set a filter for case priority. Select the appropriate email template for each rule entry.
Answer:

D


Explanation:
Auto-response rules are used to automatically send email responses to lead or case submissions
based on the criteria you define. You can create one auto-response rule per object (lead or case) and
configure multiple rule entries with different criteria and actions within that rule. To meet the
requirement of sending different email notifications based on case priority, you need to create one
auto-response rule for cases and configure three rule entries with filters for low-priority, medium-
priority, and high-priority cases respectively. Then you need to select the appropriate email template
for each rule entry action. Reference:

a

  • B. Stacked Bar
  • C. Donut

such as total sales amount and progress towards sales goal. Reference:
