Salesforce Salesforce-Associate - Salesforce Certified Associate Exam (SP25)

The account team is the team that a Salesforce associate should be added to gain access to an account and its related opportunities. The account team is a feature that allows the user to share an account and its related records, such as contacts, opportunities, and cases, with other users who play a role in the account. The account team can include different team members with different roles and access levels. For example, the account team could include a sales rep, a sales manager, a product specialist, and a customer service agent. The opportunity team is a feature that allows the user to share an opportunity and its related records, such as products, quotes, and activities, with other users who work on the opportunity. The opportunity team does not grant access to the account or its other related records, such as contacts or cases. The lead team is a feature that allows the user to share a lead and its related records, such as tasks, events, and notes, with other users who work on the lead. The lead team does not grant access to the account or its related records, such as contacts or opportunities.

The best way to create a field that shows the amount as described in the question is to use a bucket field off of Amount. A bucket field lets you group report values into categories without creating a formula or a custom field2. You can create a bucket field for any numeric, picklist, or text field in a report.

The way that an end-user can access their personal settings is to click the profile icon in the header, then click Settings. This will open the Settings page, where the user can update their personal information, language and locale, email, display, security, and other settings. Clicking the gear icon in the header, then clicking Setup will open the Setup page, where the user can access the org-wide settings and features, but not their personal settings. Clicking the question mark icon in the header, then creating a Case will open the Help Center, where the user can get help and support, but not access their personal settings.

Updates are automatic; nothing needs to be downloaded or installed is the correct action for Salesforce updates. Salesforce updates are a feature that allows the user to benefit from the latest features and functionality of the Salesforce platform without any hassle or interruption. Salesforce updates are delivered automatically to all orgs three times a year, in spring, summer, and winter. The user does not need to download or install anything to receive the updates, and the user’s data and customization are preserved and compatible with the updates. Updates do not require purchasing an updated license, because the user’s existing license covers the updates. Updates do not need to be downloaded with each release, because the updates are applied automatically to the user’s org.

 A gauge is a dashboard component type that shows a single value within a range of custom values. A gauge is useful for showing whether a metric, such as revenue or customer satisfaction, is within a desired range. For example, a gauge could show the current revenue as a needle pointing to a green, yellow, or red zone, indicating whether the revenue is above, below, or on target. A metric is a dashboard component type that shows a single value, such as the total number of accounts or the average deal size. A metric does not show a range of values. A chart is a dashboard component type that shows data in a graphical format, such as a pie chart, a bar chart, or a line chart. A chart is useful for showing the distribution or trend of data, but not a single value within a range.

Permission sets are what should be used to allow additional field-level access to individual employees based on their job duties. Permission sets are a type of metadata that grant additional access and permissions to users based on their functional or departmental needs. Permission sets can include field-level security settings that allow read or edit access to specific fields on an object. Permission sets can be assigned to multiple users, regardless of their profile. Individual profiles are a type of metadata that define the baseline access and permissions for users based on their license type and job function. Profiles include field-level security settings that allow read or edit access to fields on an object. Profiles cannot be assigned to individual users, but to a group of users who share the same license and job function. Role hierarchy is a type of metadata that define the level of access and visibility of records for users based on their position in the organization. Role hierarchy allows users to access records owned by or shared with users below them in the hierarchy. Role hierarchy does not affect field-level access, but record-level access.

The Trailblazer Community is the resource that the Salesforce associate should use to post a question that anyone around the globe who is familiar with Salesforce can answer. The Trailblazer Community is an online platform where Salesforce users, partners, employees, and experts can connect, collaborate, and learn from each other. The Trailblazer Community allows the user to ask questions, join groups, share ideas, access resources, and earn badges. Trailhead Academy is a resource that provides training courses, certifications, and learning paths for Salesforce users who want to enhance their skills and knowledge. Salesforce Help is a resource that provides documentation, guides, videos, and support for Salesforce users who need assistance with using or troubleshooting Salesforce products and features.

Deactivating the user is the best way to change the user’s access and free up the Salesforce license. Deactivating a user prevents the user from logging in to Salesforce and removes the user from any assigned permission sets, queues, and groups. However, the user’s record and related data are still preserved and can be reactivated if needed. Deleting the user would also free up the license, but it would also delete the user’s record and related data, which may not be desirable. Doing nothing would not change the user’s access or free up the license, and it would pose a security risk if the user still has the login credentials.

Creating record types on Account called Partner and Customer is the recommended way to display only the information applicable to each group. Record types allow different page layouts, picklist values, and business processes to be assigned to different users based on their profile. For example, the Partner record type could have a page layout that includes fields specific to partners, such as Partner Type, Partner Level, and Partner Status. The Customer record type could have a different page layout that excludes those fields. Using Account for customers and creating a custom object for partners would not be advisable, because it would create data silos and make reporting and sharing more difficult. Creating custom objects called Partner and Customer would not make sense, because they are both types of accounts and should use the standard Account object.
