Wrong-answer review

• A. Create a separate custom object for Legal so every team can have its own layout, within organization-wide risk-and-accountability boundaries.: A second object would duplicate the data model solely to solve a presentation requirement.
• B. Use organization-wide defaults because record access settings determine which page layout is displayed, within the proposed design.: OWD controls record visibility, not page-layout selection.
• C. Use a single Lightning page with no page layouts because record types cannot participate in layout assignments, as the selected response to the described condition.: Record types and page layouts are complementary and can be assigned together.

Answer choices

Answer choices

Answer choices

1. A. Change the visibility filter logic to show the field when ANY of the two status filters is true, within organization-wide risk-and-accountability boundaries.

Answer choices

1. A. The user’s role is too low in the role hierarchy, which hides profiles during creation, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements.
2. B. The organization’s default locale prevents sales profiles from being selected, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements, as the recommended response to this scenario.
3. C. The username is not yet globally unique, so Salesforce filters the profile list, for the described technical objective and its associated operational control requirements.

Answer choices

1. A. A managed package, because managed packages are intended to hand full local ownership of packaged metadata to each subscriber, for the required productivity and collaboration (10%) outcome.
2. B. A permission set group, because permission groups can distribute custom objects and reports between orgs, as the selected approach for the stated technical and business outcome.
3. C. An unmanaged package, because it can distribute metadata as a template that subscribers can modify locally without a managed upgrade lifecycle, within this context.
4. D. A public group, because public groups package metadata and preserve a publisher namespace, within the documented scope, ownership, and validation boundaries.
