Sales-Cloud-Consultant Salesforce Exam Lab Questions

• Updating a custom field using automation and creating a report and dashboard are the two steps required to create a solution for showing the percentage of opportunities in a certain stage that were eventually closed won. A custom field is a field that can be added to an object to store additional information that is not available in the standard fields. Automation is a way of executing actions or tasks based on certain criteria or triggers, such as workflows, process builder, flows, etc. A report is a tool that displays data from one or more objects in a tabular or graphical format. A dashboard is a tool that displays data from one or more reports in a visual way, such as charts, gauges, tables, etc.
• By creating a custom field on the Opportunity object that stores the stage value when the Opportunity is closed won or closed lost, and updating this field using automation whenever the stage changes, sales managers can track the original stage of each closed Opportunity. By creating a report and dashboard that show the percentage of closed won Opportunities by their original stage, sales managers can see how effective each stage is in leading to successful deals.

• Account relationships are visible from Person Account records and Account Hierarchy displays only the Accounts users have Read permission to view are two considerations that the consultant should take into account when showing Account relationships to sales reps and reporting on them. Account relationships are connections between Accounts that indicate how they are related to each other, such as parent-child, partner, competitor, etc. Account Hierarchy is a feature that shows how Accounts are related in a tree structure based on their parent-child relationship. Account relationships are visible from Person Account records, meaning that sales reps can see how Person Accounts are related to other Accounts from their record page. Account Hierarchy displays only the Accounts users have Read permission to view, meaning that sales reps can only see the Accounts they have access to in the hierarchy.

When implementing sharing rules, the consultant should explain the following considerations to CK:

• CK can expand access beyond the organization-wide default levels with sharing rules. Sharing rules are used to grant additional access to records based on record ownership, criteria, or territory.
• Organization-wide defaults must be Public Read Only or Private to create sharing rules. Sharing rules cannot be created for objects with Public Read/Write or Public Read/Write/Transfer organization-wide defaults.
• When multiple sharing rules are assigned, the user is assigned the least restrictive access. For example, if one sharing rule grants Read-Only access and another sharing rule grants Read/Write access to the same record, the user will have Read/Write access.

• Viewing the territory forecasts as a single-page summary and sharing the forecast with any Salesforce user are two actions that forecast managers can perform. A territory forecast is a forecast that shows how much revenue is expected from a specific territory or group of territories. A single-page summary is a view of the territory forecast that displays all the territories in the hierarchy and their forecast amounts in one page. Forecast managers can use this view to compare and analyze the performance of different territories at a glance. Forecast managers can also share their forecasts with any Salesforce user who has access to the same forecast type, regardless of their role or territory assignment. This allows them to collaborate and communicate with other users about their forecasts.
