Salesforce CRT-211 - Prepare for your Advanced Administrator Certification Exam (SP25)

A validation rule can enforce data quality by preventing users from saving records that do not meet certain criteria. In this case, the validation rule can check if both the Sales Engineer and the Account Executive lookup fields are blank, and display an error message if so. This way, the director of sales can ensure that every opportunity has either a sales engineer or an account executive assigned to the deal.

A row-level formula is a formula that evaluates each row in a report and returns a value based on one or more fields in that row. A row-level formula can be used to create a new column in a report that indicates whether the case subject contains the words ‘Alpha Shoe’ or not.

Use separate record types, page layouts, and sales processes for the Rental and Real Estate Teams is how the administrator should extend the Opportunity object to meet the teams’ different needs. Record types are a way to offer different business processes, picklist values, and page layouts to different users based on their profiles or permission sets. Page layouts are a way to control the layout and organization of fields, buttons, related lists, and other components on a record page. Sales processes are a way to define the stages that an opportunity goes through from creation to close. By using separate record types, page layouts, and sales processes for each team, the administrator can customize the opportunity object according to their different requirements and preferences.

To debug platform events in Apex code, you need to set a debug log on the Automated Process entity. This entity represents an automated process user that runs flows and processes in your org. By setting a debug log on this entity, you can capture the events that are published and consumed by your flow and Apex code, as well as any errors or exceptions that occur during the execution.

change sets are tools that allow administrators to move customizations from one Salesforce org to another. However, change sets do not track dependencies or conflicts between components in different orgs, so administrators need to manually verify that all required components are included in the change set and that they do not overwrite existing customizations in the target org. To avoid losing changes in production due to deploying an incomplete or incorrect change set, administrators should push the change set to another sandbox first and test it there before deploying it to production.

The data masking tool is a tool that allows you to mask sensitive data in your full sandbox by replacing it with fictitious data. This can help you protect your data privacy and comply with regulations while testing in a realistic environment. You can use the data masking tool to mask data for standard and custom objects, including person accounts, and choose from different masking formats and options.

Sharing rules are automatic exceptions to organization-wide sharing settings that grant additional access to records based on record ownership or criteria. By creating a sharing rule on the Account object for all members of the account services role to have Read/Write access, the administrator can allow users in that role to edit and change ownership of Accounts owned by any of their team members, regardless of the organization-wide sharing setting for Account.

Two practices that the administrator should adhere to in order to ensure a successful deployment to production are:

Add permissions and access settings to outbound change sets in addition to the dependent component list. This can help avoid deployment errors or access issues caused by missing permissions or settings for the components in the change set. For example, if the change set includes a new custom object, the administrator should also include the object permissions, field-level security, page layouts, and record types for that object.

Run deployment validations on the change set in the sandbox prior to uploading to production. This can help test the change set for any errors or conflicts before deploying it to production. Deployment validations simulate the deployment without actually making any changes and report any issues or warnings.

The other two options are incorrect because:

Cloning a change set does not add forgotten dependent components to an uploaded change set. It only creates a copy of the existing change set that can be modified before uploading.

When deploying a new record type, it is not necessary to have it as the only component in the change set. It can be deployed along with other components as long as they are compatible and have the required dependencies.

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.
