They do not include soft-deleted records, which means they only contain active records and save space.
They avoid resource intensive joins by storing data from multiple objects in one table, which reduces the query time and complexity.
Their tables are kept in sync with their source tables when the source tables are modified, which ensures data consistency and accuracy.
NEW QUESTION # 106
NTO has decided to franchise its brand. Upon implementation, 1000 franchisees will be able to access BTO's product information and track large customer sales and opportunities through a portal. The Franchisees will also be able to run monthly and quarterly sales reports and projections as well as view the reports in dashboards. Which licenses does NTO need to provide these features to the Franchisees?
- A. Salesforce Sales Cloud license
- B. Partner Community license
- C. Customer Community license
- D. Lightning Platform license
Answer: B
Explanation:
The best license to provide these features to the franchisees is the Partner Community license.
Partner Community licenses are designed for external users who collaborate with your sales team on deals, such as resellers, distributors, or brokers. Partner Community users can access standard CRM objects, such as accounts, contacts, leads, opportunities, campaigns, and reports.
They can also access custom objects and run dashboards. Salesforce Sales Cloud license is not a good option because it is intended for internal users who need full access to standard CRM and custom apps. Lightning Platform license is not a good option because it is intended for users who need access to custom apps but not to standard CRM functionality. Customer Community license is not a good option because it is intended for external users who need access to customer support features, such as cases and knowledge articles, but not to sales features
NEW QUESTION # 107
Universal Container is using Salesforce for Opportunity management and enterprise resource planning (ERP) for order management. Sales reps do not have access to the ERP and have no visibility into order status. What solution a data architect recommends to give the sales team visibility into order status?
- A. Build real-time integration to pull order line items into Salesforce when viewing orders.
- B. Leverage Canvas to bring the order management UI in to the Salesforce tab.
- C. Build batch jobs to push order line items to salesforce.
- D. leverage Salesforce Connect top bring the order line item from the legacy system to Salesforce.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is C, leverage Salesforce Connect to bring the order line item from the legacy system to Salesforce. Salesforce Connect is a feature that allows you to integrate external data sources with Salesforce and access them in real time without copying or synchronizing the data.
This way, the sales team can view the order status from the ERP system without having access to it. Leveraging Canvas, building batch jobs, or building real-time integration are also possible solutions, but they are more complex and costly than using Salesforce Connect.
NEW QUESTION # 108
UC is migrating data from legacy system to SF. UC would like to preserve the following information on records being migrated:
- Date time stamps for created date and last modified date.
- Ownership of records belonging to inactive users being migrated to
Salesforce.
Which 2 solutions should a data architect recommends to preserve the date timestamps and ownership on records? Choose 2 answer
- A. Enable modify all and view all permission.
- B. Log a case with SF to update these fields
- C. Enable update records with Inactive Owners Permission
- D. Enable Set Audit fields upon Record Creation Permission
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
The two solutions that a data architect should recommend to preserve the date timestamps and ownership on records being migrated are:
Enable update records with Inactive Owners Permission: This permission allows users to update record owner and sharing-based records with inactive owners. This can help preserve the original ownership of records that belong to users who are no longer active in Salesforce.
Enable Set Audit fields upon Record Creation Permission: This permission allows users to set audit fields (such as Created By or Last Modified By) when they create a record via API importing tools like Data Loader. This can help preserve the original date timestamps of records that were created or modified in another system.
Log a case with SF to update these fields is not a good solution because it is not necessary or feasible to ask Salesforce support to update these fields manually or programmatically. Enable modify all and view all permission is not a good solution because it does not affect the ability to preserve the date timestamps and ownership on records, but rather grants users access to all records regardless of sharing settings
NEW QUESTION # 109
A shipping and logistics company has created a large number of reports within Sales Cloud since Salesforce was introduced. Some of these reports analyze large amounts of data regarding the whereabouts of the company's containers, and they are starting to time out when users are trying to run the reports. What is a recommended approach to avoid these time-out issues?
- A. Improve reporting performance by replacing the existing reports in Sales Cloud with new reports based on Analytics Cloud.
- B. Improve reporting performance by creating an Apex trigger for the Report object that will pre- fetch data before the report is run.
- C. Improve reporting performance by creating a dashboard that is scheduled to run the reports only once per day.
- D. Improve reporting performance by creating a custom Visualforce report that is using a cache of the records in the report.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Improving reporting performance by replacing the existing reports in Sales Cloud with new reports based on Analytics Cloud can avoid the time-out issues by leveraging the power and scalability of Analytics Cloud. Analytics Cloud can handle large volumes of data and provide faster and more interactive reports than Sales Cloud.
NEW QUESTION # 110
Universal Containers (UC) needs to run monthly and yearly reports on opportunities and orders for sales reporting. There are 5 million opportunities and 10 million orders. Sales users are complaining that the report will regularly timeout. What is the fastest and most effective way for a data architect to solve the time-out issue?
- A. Create custom fields on opportunity, and copy data from order into those custom fields and run all reports on Opportunity object.
- B. Create an aggregate custom object that summarizes the monthly and yearly values into the required format for the required reports.
- C. Create a skinny table in Salesforce, and copy order and opportunity fields into the skinny table and create the required reports on It.
- D. Extract opportunity and order data from Salesforce, and use a third-party reporting tool to run reports outside of Salesforce.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Creating an aggregate custom object that summarizes the monthly and yearly values into the required format for the required reports (option D) is the fastest and most effective way for a data architect to solve the time-out issue, as it reduces the amount of data that needs to be queried and processed by the reports.
NEW QUESTION # 111
The architect is planning a large data migration for Universal Containers from their legacy CRM system to Salesforce. What three things should the architect consider to optimize performance of the data migration? Choose 3 answer
- A. Review the time zones of the User loading the data.
- B. Defer sharing calculations of the Salesforce Org.
- C. Determine if the legacy system is still in use.
- D. Remove custom indexes on the data being loaded.
- E. Deactivate approval processes and workflow rules.
Answer: B,D,E

Removing custom indexes on the data being loaded will prevent unnecessary index maintenance and improve the data load speed. Deferring sharing calculations of the Salesforce Org will avoid frequent sharing rule evaluations and reduce the load time. Deactivating approval processes and workflow rules will prevent triggering any automation logic that might slow down or fail the data load.
NEW QUESTION # 112
Universal Containers (UC) wants to capture information on how data entities are stored within the different applications and systems used within the company. For that purpose, the architecture team decided to create a data dictionary covering the main business domains within UC. Which two common techniques are used building a data dictionary to store information on how business entities are defined?
- A. Use Salesforce Object Query Language.
- B. Use a data definition language.
- C. Use the Salesforce Metadata API.
- D. Use an entity relationship diagram.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
A data dictionary is a document that describes the structure, format, and meaning of data entities and attributes. A common technique to build a data dictionary is to use an entity relationship diagram (ERD), which shows the logical relationships between objects and fields in a graphical way. Another technique is to use the Salesforce Metadata API, which allows you to retrieve and deploy the metadata that defines your Salesforce org
NEW QUESTION # 113
DreamHouse Realty has a legacy system that captures Branch Offices and Transactions.
DreamHouse Realty has 15 Branch Offices. Transactions can relate to any Branch Office.
DreamHouse Realty has created hundreds of thousands of Transactions per year. A Data Architect needs to denormalize this data model into a single Transaction object with a Branch Office picklist. What are two important considerations for the Data Architect in this scenario?
(Choose two.)
- A. Standard list view in-line editing.
- B. Limitations on master-detail relationships.
- C. Bulk API limitations on picklist fields.
- D. Limitations on Org data storage.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
The Data Architect should consider the limitations on Org data storage and the Bulk API limitations on picklist fields when denormalizing the data model into a single Transaction object with a Branch Office picklist. The Org data storage limit is the total amount of data that can be stored in a Salesforce Org, and it depends on the edition and license type of the Org. The Bulk API limit on picklist fields is the maximum number of values that can be imported or exported using the Bulk API, and it is 1,000 values per picklist field. These limitations could affect the performance and scalability of the data model, and the Data Architect should plan accordingly.
NEW QUESTION # 114
DreamHouse Realty has an integration that creates records in a Salesforce Custom Object. The Custom Object has a field marked as required on the page layout. DreamHouse Realty has noticed that many of the records coming from the external system are missing data in this field.
The Architect needs to ensure this field always contains data coming from the source system.
Which two approaches should the Architect take? Choose 2 answer
- A. Mark the field required in setup at the field level.
- B. Blame the customer's external system for bad data.
- C. Set up a Validation Rule to prevent blank values.
- D. Create a Workflow to default a value into this field.
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Setting up a Validation Rule to prevent blank values and marking the field required in setup at the field level are two approaches that the Architect should take to ensure that the field always contains data coming from the source system. A Validation Rule can display an error message when a record is created or edited with a blank value for the field, and prevent it from being saved. Marking the field required in setup at the field level can enforce the requirement for all records, regardless of the page layout or the source system. The other options are not effective or recommended for ensuring data quality, as they would either not prevent blank values, not apply to all records, or not address the root cause of the problem
NEW QUESTION # 115
Universal Containers has deployed Salesforce for case management The company is having difficulty understanding what percentage of cases are resolved from the initial call to their support organization. What first step is recommended to implement a reporting solution to measure the support reps case closure rates?
- A. Enable field history tracking on the Case object.
- B. Create Contact and Opportunity Reports and Dashboards.
- C. Create a report on Case analytic snapshots.
- D. Install AppExchange packages for available reports.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Enabling field history tracking on the Case object is the first step to implement a reporting solution to measure the support reps case closure rates. Field history tracking allows you to track changes to certain fields on the Case object, such as Status, Owner, or Priority. You can then create reports based on the field history data to analyze how long it took to close a case, how many times the case owner changed, or how many cases were escalated.
NEW QUESTION # 116
Universal Containers has 30 million case records. The Case object has 80 fields. Agents are reporting reports in the Salesforce org. Which solution should a data architect recommend to improve reporting performance?
- A. Contact Salesforce support to enable skinny table for cases.
- B. Build reports using custom Lightning components.
- C. Create a custom object to store aggregate data and run reports.
- D. Move data off of the platform and run reporting outside Salesforce, and give access to reports.
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to the Salesforce documentation, reporting performance can be affected by various factors, such as the volume and complexity of data, the design and configuration of reports and dashboards, the number and type of users accessing the reports, etc. To improve reporting performance, some of the recommended solutions are:
Move data off of the platform and run reporting outside Salesforce, and give access to reports (option C). This means using an external service or tool that can extract, transform, and load (ETL) data from Salesforce to another system or database, such as a data warehouse or a business intelligence platform. This can improve reporting performance by reducing the load and latency on Salesforce, and enabling faster and more flexible reporting and analysis on the external system. Users can access the reports from the external system using a link or an embedded component in Salesforce.
