The Dean of the Business school has a dashboard that display the application yield by program, geographic distribution of applicants, and recruitment pipeline. The Dean wants the same reports for program directors. Sharing settings have been configured so program directors can only see recruitment and application information for their own program. How can the consultant meet the business requirement?
A. Check the Let Dashboard Viewers Choose Whom They View the Dashboard As on the Dean's dashboard.
B. Set View Dashboard As to the dean and share it with program directors.
C. Add a dashboard filter to the Dean's dashboard and save it to All Folders.
D. Set View Dashboard As to the dashboard viewer and share it with program directors
Explanation:
When you set “View Dashboard As” to the dashboard viewer, each user sees only the data they are permitted to see under Salesforce sharing rules.
In this scenario, program directors have sharing settings restricting them to data only for their own programs.
Therefore, using “dashboard viewer” guarantees each director:
Sees the same dashboard layout and reports as the Dean.
Only sees data they’re authorized to view.
Other options:
A – Let Viewers Choose Whom They View As:
→ Program directors could choose to view the dashboard as the Dean, exposing all data. Not secure.
B – Set View Dashboard As Dean:
→ The dashboard runs as the Dean, so directors would see all programs. Violates data security.
C – Add Dashboard Filters:
→ Filters help user experience, but don’t enforce data security. Users could still see other programs before filtering.
The Law school's dean, recruitment director, and end users want to implement Salesforceso they can have a central, shared reporting system of engagement for recruitment and admission processes and raise enrollment by 10%. The Law school plans to grow and expand its use of Salesforce to other departments in the future; however, the IT department can only support system integration.
What should the consultant discuss first with the school?
A. Leadership sponsorship
B. Business objectives
C. Metric identification
D. Capacity to administer
Explanation:
The first step in any Salesforce implementation is to clearly define business objectives to ensure alignment between technology and institutional goals. Here’s why:
Why Business Objectives (B)?
The Law School wants to increase enrollment by 10% and centralize recruitment/admissions reporting.
Future expansion (e.g., other departments) depends on clear initial goals.
The consultant must first understand what success looks like before discussing leadership (A), metrics (C), or admin capacity (D).
Why Not the Other Options?
A. Leadership Sponsorship – Critical, but comes after defining objectives. Sponsors need clarity on what they’re supporting.
C. Metric Identification – Important for tracking progress, but metrics should derive from business objectives.
D. Capacity to Administer – IT’s integration limitations matter, but the scope of work must first align with business needs.
The Advancements Office wants Salesforce to automatically create a supporters' score based on their donation amount, giving capacity, giving history, and relationship type to the university.
Which Salesforce solution should the consultant recommend?
A. Tableau CRM
B. Nonprofit Success Pack
C. Einstein Prediction Builder
D. Insights Platform Data Integrity
Explanation:
The scenario describes a need to automatically generate a supporter score based on multiple factors like:
Donation amount
Giving capacity
Giving history
Relationship type
This is a classic use case for predictive modeling, where you want Salesforce to analyze historical data and generate a score that reflects the likelihood or strength of future engagement or giving.
Einstein Prediction Builder is designed exactly for this:
It allows admins to create custom AI models using clicks, not code.
You can define a prediction goal (e.g., likelihood to donate again or engagement score).
It uses historical data to train the model and outputs a score on each record.
The score can then be used in reports, dashboards, or automation (e.g., Next Best Action).
❌ Why the other options don’t fit:
A. Tableau CRM While powerful for data visualization and exploration, it doesn’t create predictive scores automatically. It’s more about analyzing and presenting data, not generating AI-driven predictions.
B. Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) NPSP includes features like engagement plans and donor management, but it doesn’t automatically generate predictive scores based on custom criteria unless paired with Einstein.
D. Insights Platform Data Integrity This tool focuses on data hygiene—like deduplication and address standardization—not predictive analytics.
The Recruitment and Admissions office has an existing Salesforce environment they wants to expand to include all of the school's operations and service. The school has asked the consultant for recommendations to ensure the expansion is efficient, ..........., and will meet the need of new existing user.
Which should the consultant recommend to meet the requirements?
A. Create a Trailmix for new users.
B. Build a Center of Excellence.
C. Grant System Admin access for each department leader.
D. Encourage users to post ideas on Chatte
Explanation:
The question states:
“…wants to expand to include all of the school’s operations and services… ensure the expansion is efficient, [missing word], and will meet the needs of new and existing users.”
Even though a word is cut off, the meaning is clear:
→ They want a scalable, well-managed, and user-focused expansion.
The best way to achieve that in a growing multi-department Salesforce environment is to establish a Center of Excellence (CoE).
What is a Center of Excellence (CoE)?
A CoE is a governance and collaboration framework that:
Sets standards and best practices for Salesforce development and administration.
Aligns departments on common processes, data models, and architecture.
Prevents duplicate or conflicting work across teams.
Facilitates:
Change management
User adoption
Shared knowledge
Scalability and sustainability
Especially in higher ed, with many departments wanting to use Salesforce differently, a CoE ensures:
✅ Efficient expansion
✅ Consistency
✅ Reuse of solutions
✅ User needs are met
Why Not the Other Options?
✅ A. Create a Trailmix for new users.
Helpful for training, but doesn’t address governance, architecture, or coordinated expansion.
Only solves user education, not system scalability.
→ Too narrow.
✅ C. Grant System Admin access for each department leader.
Terrible idea!
Leads to:
Security risks
Inconsistent configurations
No central governance
Admin access should be tightly controlled.
→ Definitely wrong.
✅ D. Encourage users to post ideas on Chatter.
Nice for collaboration, but:
Doesn’t solve governance.
No mechanism to implement or prioritize ideas.
Not sufficient for managing enterprise expansion.
→ Not a real solution.
Hence, B. Build a Center of Excellence is the correct choice.
Career Services wants to import internship information from a spreadsheet into Salesforce.
Student contact and educational information is populated from the Student Information System (SIS) to Salesforce. The spreadsheet has a list of interns, their student ID numbers, their email addresses, company phone numbers, company names, and start and end dates.
Which external ID should the consultant recommend to match spreadsheet information with the Salesforce Contact record?
A. Email address
B. Student number
C. Company name
D. Company phone
Explanation
To match internship records from the spreadsheet with existing Contact records in Salesforce, the consultant should use the Student ID number as the external ID. Here's why:
Why Student Number (B)?
The Student Information System (SIS) already syncs student data (including Contact records) to Salesforce.
Student ID is a unique, immutable identifier (unlike email or phone numbers, which can change).
Ensures accurate matching even if other fields (email, company name) are inconsistent.
Why Not the Other Options?
A. Email address - Could change or be shared (e.g., students using personal vs. school emails).
C. Company name - Not unique to a student (multiple interns could work at the same company).
D. Company phone - Irrelevant for matching student records (ties to employers, not students).
Implementation Steps
Ensure the Student ID field is:
Marked as an External ID in Salesforce.
Populated in both the SIS sync and the spreadsheet.
Use Data Loader or Import Wizard with Student ID as the matching key.
A university's IT department uses a version control-based process for its system development and enhancement. The department wants to test the new features the consultant has configured in a dedicated, short term Salesforce environment.
What should the consultant use to meet the requirement?
A. Scratch org
B. Developer Edition org
C. Full sandbox
D. Partial Copy sandbox
Explanation:
A Scratch Org is a dedicated, short-term, and source-driven Salesforce environment designed specifically for development and testing. It’s ideal for teams using version control systems and modern DevOps practices.
Why Scratch Org?
Created quickly and disposed of after use (typically lasts up to 30 days).
Perfect for testing new features in isolation.
Fully configurable using a definition file.
Integrates seamlessly with Salesforce DX and CI/CD pipelines.
Supports agile development and parallel testing environments.
Why Other Options Don’t Fit:
Developer Edition org: Persistent and not intended for short-term testing; lacks integration with version control workflows.
Full Sandbox: Mirrors production data and is best for UAT or staging—not efficient for short-term, isolated testing.
Partial Copy Sandbox: Includes a subset of production data, but still not ideal for rapid, disposable testing environments.
The director of advising wants to better understand why students are meeting with their advisors.
Which Advisor Link Feature should the consultant include in a report?
A. Success Plan Type
B. Alert Reason
C. Appointment Topic
D. Case Status
Explanation:
The Appointment Topic field in Salesforce Advisor Link (SAL) captures the reason or subject of a student’s advising appointment. This makes it the most relevant data point for understanding why students are meeting with their advisors.
Why Appointment Topic?
It directly reflects the student’s purpose or concern for the meeting (e.g., academic planning, financial aid, mental health).
It can be used to categorize and analyze advising trends across departments or time periods.
It supports reporting and dashboarding to help leadership make data-informed decisions about student support services.
Why Other Options Are Not Ideal:
Success Plan Type: Refers to broader academic or support plans, not specific appointment reasons.
Alert Reason: Tied to early alerts or flags, not necessarily linked to advising appointments.
Case Status: Indicates progress or resolution of a case, not the topic of a meeting.
A large university is planning to release a new recruitment and admissions solution using Salesforce. The university is .............. a launch window in conjunction with the campus calendar. Where should the university confirm the Salesforce product release dates that could impact the timeline?
A. Trailhead
B. Salesforce Trust website
C. Setup Menu
D. Partner Community
Explanation:
When planning a major Salesforce implementation like a new recruitment and admissions solution, it's critical to align with Salesforce's product release schedule to avoid conflicts with maintenance windows or updates that could impact system stability.
Why Salesforce Trust Website (B)?
Provides official Salesforce release calendars and maintenance schedules
Shows exact dates for upcoming releases and maintenance windows
Includes status updates for all Salesforce instances
Offers notifications about potential service disruptions
Why Not the Other Options?
A. Trailhead - For learning, not release management
C. Setup Menu - Shows org-specific settings, not release dates
D. Partner Community - For partner collaboration, not official release info
A university needs an email marketing tool that all program staff can use for mass communications. Program staff need to send emails that list missing application items to students. The items are stored on a custom object in Salesforce. It is important that program staff only have access to their own department's marketing materials, leads, prospects, and templates.
Which solution should the consultant recommend?
A. Salesforce Mass Email
B. Custom automation with an email alert
C. Marketing Cloud
D. Digital Engagement Messaging
Explanation:
Salesforce Marketing Cloud is the most suitable solution for this scenario because it supports:
Mass email communications at scale
Personalization using data from custom objects via AMPscript or Data Extensions
Role-based access control, allowing departments to manage their own assets, templates, and audiences
Advanced segmentation and automation, ideal for sending tailored messages like missing application items
Why Marketing Cloud fits:
Program staff can use Marketing Cloud Connect to access Salesforce data (including custom objects).
AMPscript enables dynamic content insertion from related records like missing application items.
Business Units in Marketing Cloud allow each department to manage its own content and data securely.
Why Other Options Don’t Fit:
A. Salesforce Mass Email: Limited in scale and personalization; not suitable for complex use cases involving custom objects.
B. Custom automation with an email alert: Not scalable for mass communications and lacks user-friendly tools for program staff.
D. Digital Engagement Messaging: Focused on real-time channels like SMS and chat, not designed for email marketing at scale.
A CRM committee for a university has asked a consultant about the major release cadence of Salesforce.org and Salesforce.com platform enhancements.
When are Salesforce.org releases?
A. Approximately two weeks after Salesforce.com releases
B. Approximately one month before Salesforce.com releases
C. Approximately two weeks before Salesforce.com releases
D. Approximately one month after Safesforce.com releas
Explanation:
Salesforce.org, which delivers solutions tailored for education and nonprofit sectors, typically releases its updates on a slightly delayed cadence compared to the core Salesforce.com platform. These releases often occur about one month after the main Salesforce.com seasonal releases (Spring, Summer, Winter).
Why This Matters:
Salesforce.org builds on top of the Salesforce platform, so it needs to ensure compatibility with the latest Salesforce.com features before releasing its own enhancements.
This delay allows for additional testing and alignment with Education Cloud and Nonprofit Cloud solutions.
Institutions planning go-lives or major rollouts should factor in this timing to avoid conflicts or surprises.
