Salesforce Advanced-Administrator - Salesforce Certified Advanced Administrator (SP25)

A lookup relationship is a type of field that links one object to another object. It allows you to access related data from another object and display it on a record page. A lookup relationship can be used to link the custom object that stores financial information to the Account object, so that only finance team members can see the related financial information about the account.

Change sets are tools that allow administrators to move customizations such as fields, page layouts, profiles, permission sets, etc. from one Salesforce org to another. To use change sets, administrators need to establish a deployment connection between a source org (such as a sandbox) and a target org (such as production). Then, administrators can create an outbound change set in the source org that contains the components they want to deploy, and upload it to the target org. In the target org, administrators can view and validate the inbound change set before deploying it to their org. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.changesets.htm &type=5

Manual sharing is a way of granting access to individual records by manually sharing them with other users, roles, or groups. Manual sharing can override the organization-wide default and role hierarchy settings and give additional access to specific records. In this case, manual sharing could be the reason why only one user can see the account record, even though they have the same profile and role as another user who cannot see it.

Using a Get Record component allows the flow to dynamically retrieve records based on criteria or record IDs without hard coding them. This makes the flow more flexible and maintainable. Updating record elements outside the flow loop prevents unnecessary DML operations and reduces the risk of hitting governor limits.

A custom summary formula is a formula that calculates values from summary fields in reports such as sums, averages, counts, etc. Custom summary formulas can use functions such as PREVGROUPVAL which returns the value of a field from the previous row at the same grouping level. By using a custom summary formula with the PREVGROUPVAL function, an administrator can create a report to calculate the year-over-year change in the dollar amount of a company’s opportunities by subtracting the amount from the previous year from the amount from the current year and dividing by the amount from the previous year.

Duplicate management is a feature that allows administrators to prevent or allow duplicate records for standard or custom objects. Duplicate management consists of two components: duplicate rules and matching rules.

B) Configure custom duplicate rules.

Duplicate rules are rules that determine what actions to take when users try to save duplicate records. Duplicate rules can block users from saving duplicates, alert users of duplicates and let them save anyway, or report on duplicates without affecting the save operation. Duplicate rules can also specify which fields to use for matching and which security settings to enforce. By configuring custom duplicate rules, the sales team administrator can prevent duplicate records from being created for contacts or other objects. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_prevent_duplicates.htm &type=5

C) Create custom matching rules.

Matching rules are rules that determine how duplicate records are identified by comparing fields and applying fuzzy matching algorithms. Matching rules can be standard or custom. Standard matching rules are predefined by Salesforce and apply to common objects such as contacts, accounts, or leads. Custom matching rules are created by administrators and apply to any standard or custom object. By creating custom matching rules, the sales team administrator can define how duplicate records are detected for contacts or other objects.

A delegated administrator is a user who has been granted limited administrative privileges by an administrator through delegated administration groups. Delegated administrators can perform some administrative tasks without having full access to Setup.

Some functions that delegated administrators can perform are:

B) Build automation and validation rules using screen flows

Screen flows are types of flows that guide users through screens with elements such as text boxes, picklists, radio buttons, etc. Screen flows can also perform actions such as creating records, updating fields, sending emails, etc. Delegated administrators can build automation and validation rules using screen flows if they have been granted access to create and edit flows by an administrator.

D) Make updates to permission set configurations

Permission sets are collections of settings and permissions that can extend users’ functional access without changing their profiles. Delegated administrators can make updates to permission set configurations if they have been granted access to manage users by an administrator.

As explained in question 3, a price book is a list of products and their prices for a specific segment of customers or market. By creating a new price book for the U.K product pricing, Northern Trail Outfitters (NTO) can offer different prices for their products in the U.K market due to shipping and raw material cost differences. The price book can also specify which currency is used for the prices, such as pounds or euros. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.products_pricebooks_def.htm &type=5

The order of execution for flows that are configured to run before the record is saved on the same object is unpredictable and may vary depending on factors such as flow version, flow name, or flow creation date. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid creating multiple flows with the same trigger conditions and instead consolidate them into a single flow.

Data Loader is a tool that allows administrators to import or export large amounts of data (more than 50,000 records) from or to Salesforce using CSV files. Data Loader can be used for inserting, updating, deleting, upserting, exporting, or extracting data. Bulk API is an API that allows administrators to process large batches of records asynchronously in the background. Bulk API can handle millions of records with high performance and minimal system resources. By using Data Loader with Bulk API enabled, an administrator can import a large amount of historical data (more than 100,000 records) from another system efficiently and securely.
