Salesforce Exam CRT-101 Topic 6 Question 84 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's CRT-101 exam

Question #: 84
Topic #: 6

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.

I'm not sure about option D. What if users forget to input the correct date format? Maybe option A could be a better solution.

A sounds like a nightmare. Syncing calendars? In Salesforce? That's a recipe for disaster. I'd rather just have a simple validation rule and call it a day. D all the way!

B seems like a lot of work. Why create a whole report just to catch out-of-year showings? That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. D is the clear winner here.

I like C. Help text is a great way to guide users and prevent them from making mistakes. A validation rule might be overkill. Plus, who has time to sync calendars these days?
