Medium — Administrator Practice Quiz

Question 1

A sales manager complains that when reps create tasks in Salesforce, no reminder pop-up appears by default, so reps keep forgetting follow-ups. The manager wants every new task to automatically have a reminder set for 8:00 AM on the due date, without requiring reps to manually enable it each time. What should the administrator do?

Accepted Answer

Instruct each rep to set their Activity Reminders default time in their personal Activity Settings so new tasks default to a reminder at 8:00 AM.

Answer

Create a validation rule on the Task object that requires the Reminder field to be checked before saving.

Answer

Enable 'Show Event Details on Multi-Day Layout' in Activity Settings for the org.

Answer

Add the Reminder field to the Task page layout so reps can see and set it manually each time.

Question 2

A company wants to deploy an AI agent on their public help site that lets customers ask questions and get answers grounded in Salesforce Knowledge articles, without requiring the customer to log in to Salesforce. The administrator is evaluating which Agentforce offering to configure. Which type of agent is designed for this externally facing, customer self-service use case?

Accepted Answer

Agentforce Service Agent, deployed to a channel such as an Experience Cloud site or messaging

Answer

Agentforce for internal Salesforce users working inside the Lightning app

Answer

A Flow Orchestration configured with a screen flow embedded on the public site

Answer

Prompt Builder template surfaced through a record page component

Question 3

An administrator is configuring an Agentforce service agent for a company's help center. The business wants the agent to answer customer product questions using the company's published Knowledge articles rather than generating answers from the model's general training data. Which declarative configuration should the administrator use to connect the agent's answers to the company's Knowledge content?

Accepted Answer

Create a Data Library that indexes the Knowledge articles and reference it in the agent's answer/grounding configuration.

Answer

Write an Apex class that queries KnowledgeArticleVersion records and invoke it from the agent.

Answer

Add the Knowledge articles as attachments to the agent's system prompt so the model memorizes them.

Answer

Enable Zero Data Retention in the Einstein Trust Layer so the agent pulls from Knowledge automatically.

Question 4

An administrator has built and activated an Agentforce service agent in a production org. Sales reps report that they cannot see or interact with the agent, even though it appears active in Setup. The administrator confirms the agent is deployed and its topics and actions are configured correctly. What is the MOST likely reason the reps cannot use the agent, and how should the administrator resolve it?

Accepted Answer

The reps are missing the required Agentforce permission set assignment; the admin should assign the appropriate permission set (or permission set group) that grants access to the agent.

Answer

The agent must be added to each rep's page layout; the admin should edit the page layouts to include the agent component.

Answer

The Einstein Trust Layer is masking the agent for the reps; the admin should disable data masking for those users.

Answer

The agent needs to be re-created as a custom Apex class; the admin should engage a developer to code the agent logic.

Question 5

A Salesforce admin is building an Agentforce service agent for a customer support team. The business wants the agent to be able to answer general customer questions using published Knowledge articles, and also to update a custom 'Warranty_Claim__c' record when a customer requests a status change. The admin wants to use the least amount of custom development possible. Which approach should the admin take when configuring the agent's actions?

Accepted Answer

Use the standard 'Answer Questions with Knowledge' action for Knowledge queries, and create a Flow-based custom action to update the Warranty_Claim__c record.

Answer

Write an Apex-based action for both the Knowledge search and the warranty record update, since custom objects always require code.

Answer

Use a single standard action, because standard Agentforce actions can handle both Knowledge answers and custom object updates automatically.

Answer

Configure a Prompt Template action for the Knowledge answers and an Apex action for the warranty update, avoiding Flow entirely.

Question 6

An administrator has built a new Agentforce service agent with several topics and actions in a sandbox. Before activating it for customers, leadership wants assurance that the agent will select the correct topic and respond appropriately across many phrasing variations of common customer questions. Which Salesforce tool should the administrator use to evaluate the agent's behavior at scale before deployment?

Accepted Answer

Testing Center, which lets the admin run batches of test utterances and review which topic and actions the agent selects

Answer

Setup Audit Trail, to confirm the agent's topics and actions were configured correctly

Answer

Apex test classes that assert the agent returns the expected topic for each input

Answer

Flow debug logs, to trace how each topic action executes when the agent runs

Question 7

An administrator is building an Agentforce service agent for a support team. They want the agent to only handle order status inquiries and returns, and to invoke a Flow that looks up the customer's most recent order. What must the administrator configure to ensure the agent recognizes these customer requests and knows which capability to execute?

Accepted Answer

Create Topics that define the agent's scope and add Actions (such as the Flow) to those Topics

Answer

Write Apex classes that classify the customer's intent and call the Flow programmatically

Answer

Configure a Prompt Template in Prompt Builder and ground it with the order object

Answer

Enable the Einstein Trust Layer and add the Flow as a masked data source

Question 8

A sales manager frequently travels and complains that she misses discount approval requests because she cannot always log into Salesforce on her laptop. She wants to be able to review and act on pending approval requests directly from email and from the Salesforce mobile app. As the administrator, what should you configure to enable this?

Question 10

A sales manager wants that when an Opportunity is submitted for discount approval, the record should immediately become read-only for the submitter and most users, and the Opportunity's Status field should be set to 'Pending Approval'. Which approval process configuration accomplishes BOTH requirements without additional automation?

Accepted Answer

Add a field update as an Initial Submission Action to set Status to 'Pending Approval'; record locking on submission is handled automatically by the approval process.

Answer

Create a record-triggered flow that fires on submission to update the Status and set the record to read-only.

Answer

Add a field update as a Final Approval Action to set Status to 'Pending Approval' and rely on the org-wide default to lock the record.

Answer

Add the field update as an Approval Step Action and manually enable 'Lock the record' in the field update settings.

Question 11

A company requires that expense reports over $5,000 must be approved by BOTH the Finance Manager AND the Department Director in the same step. The request should only advance if all designated approvers approve it. Which approval step configuration should the administrator use?

Question 23

A support administrator at Northern Trail Outfitters has created two separate case assignment rules: one for handling product return cases and another for warranty cases. After activating the warranty rule, agents report that returns are no longer being routed to the correct queue. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

Accepted Answer

Only one case assignment rule can be active at a time, so activating the warranty rule deactivated the returns rule.

Answer
