record types allow administrators to offer different business processes, picklist values, and page layouts to different users based on their profiles. By using record types for accounts and contacts at AW Computing, administrators can track their accounts and competitors on different record types with different fields on their page layouts. For partner accounts, they can also use record types to specify different values in the Industry picklist field.

While the Schema Builder is a powerful tool in Salesforce for visually creating and managing custom objects and fields, there are certain configurations that must be done in Object Manager rather than Schema Builder. One of these configurations is enabling field history tracking.

Field History Tracking:

Field history tracking cannot be configured directly within Schema Builder. This setting must be enabled from within the Object Manager, where administrators can specify which fields on an object should have their changes tracked.

Enabling field history tracking involves navigating to the object in Object Manager, accessing the field history tracking settings, and selecting specific fields to track.

Limitations of Schema Builder:

Schema Builder is useful for quickly creating custom objects, relationships, and fields, but it does not support all configurations, such as enabling field history tracking, defining object-level permissions, or setting advanced object configurations.

For these types of configurations, administrators need to return to Object Manager where these settings are available.

Incorrect options:

Add custom fields to the page layout: This task is typically done within Object Manager, but Schema Builder does allow customization of page layouts to a certain extent through drag-and-drop.

Make available for Customer Portal: Schema Builder does not control portal availability; however, this is managed through Object Manager settings related to record visibility for portal users.

Allow Reports and Activities: This setting can be configured in Schema Builder when initially creating an object, but further refinements and permission settings must often be done in Object Manager.

In conclusion, enabling field history tracking requires access to the Object Manager, as it cannot be configured through Schema Builder.

Use Field-Level Security to control data access is how the administrator should deliver this solution. Field-Level Security is a way to restrict users’ access to view or edit specific fields on an object based on their profile or permission set. Field-Level Security can be used to make fields visible or hidden, and editable or read-only for different users. By using Field-Level Security, the administrator can ensure that only Marketing users can see all data on the Membership Details object, while Support users can only see the Support preference fields.

Lightning Object Creator is a tool that allows you to create custom objects and fields from a spreadsheet in a few clicks. Lightning Object Creator analyzes the spreadsheet data and suggests the best way to map it to Salesforce fields and relationships. You can also import the data from the spreadsheet into the new custom object and view it in a list view or a related list. In this case, you can use Lightning Object Creator to create a custom Project object from the spreadsheet that tracks installations and also import the data into the new object.

Flows are tools that automate business processes by collecting data and performing actions in your org or an external system. Flows can be triggered by various events such as record creation, updates, or invocations from other processes or flows. Flows can also send email alerts as part of their actions. To send a notification when a record is deleted and by whom, and to maintain their own discovery information, an administrator can use a flow that runs when a record is deleted, queries the record owner’s email address and discovery information from another object or variable, and sends an email alert with those details.

Use an Insert operation to load data because the data is not already in Salesforce and does not need to be updated or deleted3. Map an External ID data value to the object because External IDs are used to create relationships between records that are being imported and records that already exist in Salesforce4.

Delegated administrators in Salesforce are designated users who are given limited administrative privileges to assist system administrators without having full access to all administrative functions. The two functions they can typically perform, which align with the permissions available to delegated admins, are:

Set up users and password management:

Delegated administrators can create and manage user accounts, which includes setting up new users, resetting passwords, and updating user details.

This is particularly useful for helping with user management tasks without providing full system administrator access.

Configure updates to sharing rules:

Delegated administrators can manage sharing rules within their specific groups or roles, which helps control access to records based on criteria set within the organization.

This level of access allows them to modify sharing rules to ensure appropriate data access without requiring full administrative control over all settings.

The other options listed are not within the scope of delegated administrator capabilities:

Manage custom objects and customize nearly every aspect: Delegated administrators do not have the ability to manage custom objects or perform extensive customization. These functions are reserved for system administrators with broader privileges.

Make updates to permission set configurations: Delegated administrators cannot create or modify permission sets. This is also restricted to full administrators, as it involves controlling access at a granular level across the org.

By utilizing delegated administrators for user and sharing rule management, organizations can maintain security and control while also sharing some administrative workload.

A rich text component allows administrators to add custom text or images to a Lightning page. Conditional visibility allows administrators to control when a component is visible based on criteria such as field values or device type. By using these features, administrators can highlight Canadian customers as a potential challenge for fulfillment without modifying the page layout or creating a new record type.

Upsert is an operation that can either update existing records or insert new records based on the External Id field. This way, the administrator can match existing leads and add new ones with Data Loader. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.data_loader_upsert.htm &type=5

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
