Actual exam question for Salesforce's ADX-201 exam

Question #: 67
Topic #: 5

DreamHouse Realty requires that house showings be scheduled within the current year to prevent too many future showings from stacking up.

How can they make sure Showing Date is only populated with a date this years?

ASync the users' Showing Calendar to Salesforce and filter it to only look at this year.

BCreate a report that shows any Showing Dates not scheduled in the current year to the updated.

CAdd Help Text so the user knows to only add a Showing Date within the current year.

DCreate a validation rule that ensures Showing Date contains a date within the current year.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

A validation rule is a feature that allows administrators to define criteria for data entry or import operations and display an error message when those criteria are not met. For example, a validation rule can ensure that house showings are scheduled within the current year by comparing the showing date field with a formula that returns the current year. If the showing date field contains a date outside of the current year, then the validation rule will prevent users from saving or importing records with an error message.

Haha, imagine if they used option B - a report to track all the future showings? Talk about extra work!

I think option A could also work well. Syncing the users' calendar to Salesforce would make it easier to filter by this year.

C) Help text is good, but it relies on the user to actually read it. A validation rule is more bulletproof.
