Manual sharing allows record owners to share individual records with other users or groups. This is useful when one-off sharing is needed for a specific situation. Hierarchical sharing, criteria-based sharing and owner-based sharing are not suitable for this scenario because they are based on predefined rules or roles that do not match the requirement.

A roll-up summary field is a type of field thatcalculates values from related records, such as the count of child records or the sum of a field on child records. In this case, the administrator can add a roll-up summary field to the open house object to track the number of visitors by counting the child records on the visitors object.

Auto response rules are a way to automatically send email responses to leads or cases based on certain criteria such as lead source, industry, etc. They can be used to send personalized emails whenever a lead fills out a web-to-lead form on a website and send different messages based on the lead industry field value. Using validation rule to trigger workflow to email the lead is not possible because validation rules cannot trigger workflowsor send emails; they only prevent records from being saved if they do not meet certain criteria. Adding a public group and process builder to email the lead is unnecessary because auto response rules can handle this requirement without additional configuration or customization. Creating an assignment rule to email the lead is also unnecessary because assignment rules are used to assign leads orcases to users or queues based on certain criteria, not send emails; although they can have email alerts as part of their actions, they are not as flexible as auto response rules for personalizing email messages.

 Discount is not a standard field on the Opportunity object, so you need to create a custom field to capture the discount amount or percentage foreach opportunity. To set up an approval process where opportunity discounts over 30% need to be approved by the VP of sales, and any discounts above 10% need to be approved by the user’s manager, you need to configure two separate approval processes with different entry criteria based on the discount field value and different approvers based on their roles.

To track all cases that reference the new product and give read/write access to the product’s two lead engineers, the administrator should create a queue and a criteria-based sharing rule. The queue will allow assigning cases that meet certain criteria, such as having a specific value in the Product field, to a group of users. The criteria-based sharing rule will grant read/write access to the queue members for cases that match the same criteria.

A dependent picklist and a custom picklist are the two features that can be used to fulfill the requirement. A global picklist and a multi-select picklist arenot features that can be used to fulfill the requirement.

Here is a more detailed explanation of why A and B are the correct answers:

A. Dependent Picklist

A dependent picklist is a picklist whose values are dependent on the value selected in anotherpicklist. This is useful for ensuring that only valid values are selected for a field. In this case, the administrator can create a dependent picklist for the category field on accounts and cases, with the values for the picklist being dependent on the record type selected. This will ensure that only the relevant picklist values are available for selection based on the record type selected.

For example, the administrator could create a dependent picklist for the category field on accounts and cases with thefollowing values:

Record Type: New Account

Picklist Values: Residential, Commercial

Record Type: Existing Account

Picklist Values: Renewal, Upsell, Cross-sell

This would ensure that only the relevant picklist values are available for selection when creating a new account or an existing account.

B. Custom Picklist

A custom picklist is a picklist that is created by the administrator. This is useful for creating picklists with values that are specific to the organization's needs. In this case, theadministrator can create a custom picklist for the category field on accounts and cases, with the values for the picklist being specific to the organization's needs. This will ensure that the picklist values are relevant to the organization and its customers.

For example, the administrator could create a custom picklist for the category field on accounts and cases with the following values:

Picklist Values: Residential, Commercial, Land, Multi-Family

This would ensure that the picklist values are relevant to the organization and its customers.

Auto-response rules are used to automatically send email responses to lead or case submissions based on the criteria you define. You can create one auto-response rule per object (lead or case) and configure multiple rule entries with different criteria and actions within that rule. To meet the requirement of sending different email notifications based on case priority, you need to create one auto-response rule for cases and configure three rule entries with filters for low-priority, medium-priority, and high-priority cases respectively. Then you need to select the appropriate email template for each rule entry action.

To identify new leads entered by interns from existingleads, the administrator should define a record type and assign it to the interns. This will allow them to select a different record type when creating leads, and distinguish them from other leads based on record type. Creating a separate Lead Lightning App or updating the active Lead Assignment Rules will not affect lead identification. Setting up Web-to-Lead form will not work if the interns are entering leads manually in Salesforce. References:https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_recordtype.htm &type=5

The Opportunity Stage Duration report is a standard report that shows how long opportunities spend in each stage before they are closed. It can be used to measure the average stage duration for all closed opportunities by grouping and summarizing the data by stage name and duration fields. Using process builder to capture the daily average on each opportunity is not feasible because it would require creating multiple fields and formulas on the opportunity object and updating them every day. Adding formula fields to track stages on each opportunity is also not practical because it would require creating multiple fields and formulas on the opportunity object and maintaining them every time a stage changes. Refreshing weekly reporting snapshots for closed opportunities is not necessary because the report can run on real-time data without snapshots.

Report folders are used to organize and secure reports in Salesforce. You can setdifferent levels of access for different users or groups on each report folder. To preserve the integrity of the source reports for dashboards, you can create a new report folder with viewer access only and move the dashboard reports to that folder. This way, users can view the reports but not edit them.
