    Review Adm 201 Study Guide (Focus mainly on table on pg. 2-5):

    http://www.salesforce.com/assets/pdf/misc/SG_CertifiedAdmin.pdf

    Review Adm 201 Course Binder (I would reference this binder as you work through the study guidetable above). My notes in this notebook also correlate with the table in the study guide (1 tab per

    section).

    Take the Online Sample Quiz (15 questions):

    http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/quizview.php?title=salesforcecom-certified-administrator-

    practice-exam

    (This one is good to take and retake a couple of times until you know all of the answers. It always gives

    you the same questions. It's written to be a little tougher than the real exam, so don't worry if you bomb

    it the first time! I sure did.)

    Company Profile - contains core info about your company

    Language, Locale, Time Zone

    Licenses

    Primary Contact & Address Info

    Manage Currency (Multi -currency, Dated exchange rate)

    Info that can be updated on the Company Profile:

    Std Fiscal Year - follows Gregorian calendar, but can start on first day or any month of the year

    Custom Fiscal Year - for companies that break down the fiscal years, quarters and weeks in to custom

    fiscal periods based on their financial planning reqs - Once you activate a custom fiscal year, you can't

    go back and it must always be manually maintained!

    Forecasting can NOT be used with custom fiscal years. Customizable forecasting must be enabled!

    Active currencies are located in the Company Profile(Org), User record (Personal Setup) and

    Opportunity (Record)

    Licenses - EE and UE come with Offl ine and Marketing licenses for all users - PE must purchase these as

    needed

    Default language - users can override the org default

    Default locale - users can override or default (effects date format, i.e. 12/03/09 vs 03/12/09Default time zone - users can override for their own setting

    In a multi-currency org, Currency is a required field on all objects in SF and must be considered during

    importing and custom object creation!

    Accts and associated contacts must use the same default currency

    Multi-currency feature must be requested - all orgs are defaulted w/ just one currency

    SF.com org ID is used for integration - identifying which org to load data into

    Once Advanced Currency Mgmt (allows dated exchange rates) is activated for an org, you cannot

    deactivate!

    A and D!

    You NEVER use FLS (Field Level Security) to make a field required!

    Profile - a collection of settings and permissions that determines what the user can do with records

    they have access to and how they view those records.

    Profiles never override your org's sharing model or role hierarchy. For example, the Standard User

    profile give s a user access to create, edit and delete leads. However, a user with this profile cannot edit

    or delete other users' leads i f your org's sharing model is Read Only for leads!

    Page layouts -which page layouts the profile sees

    Field Level Security - the FLS access that a profile has to view and edit specific fields (EE/UE)

    Custom apps - which ones the profile can view

    Tabs - which ones the profile can view

    Record types - which ones the profile can view

    Login - the hours and IP addresses from which the profile can log in

    Admin, general and object permissions

    Profile components:

    System Admin - "super user" - can customize and admin the application

    Standard User - can view, edit and delete thei r own records

    Solution Manager - std plus can manage published solutions + can manage solution categories

    Marketing User - std plus can import leads for the org

    Contract Manager - std plus can edi t, approve, activate and delete contracts

    Read Only - can only view records

    Standard Profiles - (6) are avail to all SF editions:

    Custom Profiles - can have unlimited # for EE and UE"View Al l" (VAR) and "Modify All " are for delegated administrators - can be set at object level for de-

    duping, etc.

    Field Level History Tracking - can be enabled for: Accts, Contacts, Leads, Cases, Solutions, Contract,

    Oppts, ALL Custom Objects (up to 20 fi elds)

    When defining field level security, "Visible" = read/write, "Read Only" = read only - overrides the Visi ble

    option

    Dependent picklists - max of 300 values in controlling picklist; std fields can be controlling fields but not

    dependent

    Lookup fields / relationships - shows "mini page layout" for that object

    Formula fields are always READ ONLY - can't be edited by end user, could be hidden from end user

    There's a limit (4,000 char) to formulas, so make them as short as possible

    Tab settings - Hiding a tab does not prevent a user from seeing the data - this has to be done via object

    permissions!

    Remember - FLS is set at Profile level!

    You can customize a related list layout to show up to 10 columns - customize on the edit pay layout

    screen

    Record types allow you to segment picklists! (define di ff set of picklist values ) (associate to diff page

    layouts)

    Create of build the record type1.

    Assign the record type to one or more profiles2.

    Record types - 2 step process:

    Record Type is attached to a page layout; when user creates new record, they select the record type and

    this determines which page layout displays

    Business processes - sales, support, lead and solution are available - allows you to track lifecycles across

    different divisions, groups or markets

    You must create the business process before creating record types for Lead, Oppt, Case and Solution-If you create an Oppt, Case, Lead or Solution Record Type, you must beforehand create a sales, case,

    lead or solution PROCESS. (for leads, you may want to have a dif f sales process and therefore dif f record

    type for B2B vs. B2C)

    Record types -For tabs that have multiple record types defined, you can look at the Record Type Field

    on the page (field must be added to the page layout)

    Field Level Security (FLS)-defines users' access to view and edit specific fields in the application

    FLS cannot be used to make a field required!

    FLS is important b/c it e nforces field access through the data layer; whereas field access enforced

    through page layouts only enforces it through the UI layer (enforcing it through the data layer means

    it enforces data req @ data level/layer - use for import considerations)

    If set as Read Only at Field Level, will be Read Only in the Page Layout

    FLS can be set at profile or object level (same - you'll be setting it for each profile)

    Regardless of the Page Layout, FLS controls what users can do with which fields (R/W, Read Only,

    Hidden)

    REVIEW:

    What does a profile control? - How a user works with records in an org.

    When are formula fields recalculated? - When a record is created, saved or deleted.

    Where would you make a field required? - On the page layout

    For which objects can you have bus processes? Leads, Oppts, Cases, Solutions

    How many fields (columns) can you display on a customizable related list? - 10.

    T/F - A checkbox can be a controlling field in a field dependency - True, but not a dependent

    field

    T/F - You can use a custom lookup field to create a relationship btwn an oppt and contact - True.

    Section starts -p. 104

    Org Wide Defaults - sets baseline level of access (only tool to restrictrecord access)

    Role Hierarchy - provides overrides to org wide defaults

    Sharing Rules- creates more exceptions to org wide defaults - gives you more granular sharingcapabilities

    3 Core building block of Security & Access:

    Users must be associated with a Profile

    Users are usually associated with a Role

    User Record = ke y info about user; each has unique username; user logs in wi th username and pw; users

    can be active or inactive - an ACTIVE user uses a license.

    User - person w/ unique char - based on login credentials, can do certain things

    SF has ~1.5 mill ion users

    Every username must be unique! Must follow email convention, but doesn't have to be a verifiable

    email address

    You can have any # of users you want, but only a certain # ofactive users (based on license)

    All users must be associated with a Profile

    It's a best practice to always associate a user to a role

    Some info on user record: email, username, title, dept, address, timezone, locale, provisioned licenses

    (marketing, offline and mobile user), login history, etc.

    User locale settings override org settings

    Record Owner - user (or queue for Cases and Leads) who controls or has rights to that particular datarecord

    Record Owner has special privileges: view/edit capabilities; transfer ownership capability; deletion

    capabilities

    It is possible for a user to own a record and not see it if they don't have the Read Permission on the

    object (?) pg. 109 - ask Christian

    Profile always wins - whatever permissions a user has in their profile overrides the record

    permissions!

    SF is an ACCOUNT-CENTRIC platform (whereas most CRM platforms are contact-centric) - means that

    the account is the central record - other records are related to it

    Owners of records can be diffe rent - access can be granted as you wi sh.

    Org OOB is "Open" - you lock down access by using Org Wide Defaults

    Org Wide Defaults - define the baseline level of access to data records for all users in the Org. (not

    including records owned by the user or inherited via role hierarchy)

    Organization Wide Defaults are the onlytool we have for restrictingaccess to records!! - Everything

    else is used to override or create exceptions to these restrictions

    User's level of access to records will never be more restrictive than the options chosen in Org Wide

    Defaults - they are a mi nimum level of access for all users.

    "Private" setting means no searching and reporting on records (they won't show up i n search results or

    related lists)

    Role - Controls the level of visibility that users have to an organization's data; A user may be associated

    to one role

    Role Hierarchy - Controls data visibil ity; controls record roll up - forecasting and reporting; users inherit

    the special privileges of data owned by or shared wi th users below them in the hierarchy; not

    necessarily the company's org chart

    Access to records rolls up1.

    No lateral sharing2.

    No intra-role sharing3.

    Profile permissions of the superior control access to records owned by the subordinate4.

    (see diagram on back of study guide)

    4 Rules of Role Hierarchy:

    Role based access - allows you to set access at role le vel that allows users to have access to records that

    are associated to Accts they own (le vel of access to Oppts assoc to owned Accts, " Contacts, " Cases

    Automated rules that grant access to groups of users (enti ties)

    Exceptions to Org Wide Defaults

    Irrelevant for Publi c Read/Write Orgs

    Levels of access that can be granted = read only, read/wri te

    Sharing Rules

    Sharing rules open up access whereas org wide defaults restrict access!!

    You can have sharing rules for: Lead, Account, Contact, Opportunity, Case, Campaign and Custom

    Objects

    Granting access to a contact or oppt grants access to the rel ated Account (to view)

    A given sharing rule onl y grants one way access

    grouping of users, other publ ic groups, roles or roles & subordinatesUsed in sharing rules - for simplifi cation

    Also used when def ining access to folders and list vi ews

    Public Group -place specified users in one bucket that can share records

    granting record access, one-off basis

    Owner and anyone above owner in role hi erarchy and admin can manually share records

    can click "Sharing" button on record to see who all has access - good for troubleshooting

    Manual sharing -

    If you have READ access to data, you can see it in a report

    Forecasting is driven by role hierarchy, but visibility is not

    Used for collaborative sell ing, sharing and reporting purposes

    Can be adhoc or use default sales team (defined for user)

    Default sales teams may be automatically added to a user's oppts

    Who can add a sal es team? Owner, anyone above owne r, or admin

    nice advantage is that you can report on sales teams

    Team Selling feature must be enabled for org (by admin)

    Sales Teams are not available for the Prof Edition

    Sales Teams -

    Similar to Sales Teams

    Acct teams share roles with sales teams on opportunities

    Used for collaborative acct mgmt, sharing and reporting

    Manually add to accts or set a de fault team to add automatically to your accts

    You can build an account team on each account that you own

    AccountTeams are not available for the Prof Edition

    Account Teams -

    Case teams - you can add teams of use rs to cases to enable ful l communication/collaboration on solving

    cust issues

    Folders - used for organizing email templates, docs, reports and dashboards; Access is def ined as read or

    read/write - it's EXPLICIT and does not roll up thru role hierarchy

    Email templates

    Reports

    Dashboards

    Documents

    4 Kinds of thing you can store in folders: (only 1 type per folder - can't mix docs and dash in 1 folder)

    Sidebar search does not search docs, solutions, products and reports but does search assets and cust

    objects. Must use doc search to search for docs

    Review

    What determines a unique user record? - username

    What do Org Wide Defaults do? - set baseli ne access to records across and org

    (only tool to restrictrecord access)

    What does the Role Hierarchy control? - how record access rolls up through an org

    (review 4 rules)

    How does a Profile differ from a Role? - profile controls howyou work with records,

    whereas role controls which records you have access to!

    Why are sharing rules used? - when you need to open up access that org

    wide def aults and role hierarchy don't provide

    When would u choose to build a public group? - When you want to create a sharing rule and

    the role hierarchy doesnt grant the needed access

    Who can manually share records? - Owner, anyone above owner and adminWhere are Folders used? - Documents, Dashboards, Reports,

    Communication & Email templates

    Why utilize account teams and sales teams? - For specialized 1 off sharing needs and for

    reporting

    Prof Edition - you can buy workflow, but doesn't come with it

    Defined trigger criteria based on your bus reqs

    Evaluated when a record is created, created/updated, OR when created/updated and didn'tpreviously meet criteria

    When trigger criteria is met, workflow actions such as email alerts, tasks, field updates or

    outbound (API) msgs are generated

    Workflow rule -

    Workflow Rules = trigger criteria for performing various workflow actions

    Tasks

    Email Alerts

    Field Updates - can be immediate or time dependent

    Outbound Messages

    Four Workflow Actions:

    Workflow can be triggered upon import

    Tasks can be assigned to a user, role, record owner, record creator, sales team role or account team

    Tasks cannot be assigned to multiple users in SF!! If you assign a task to a role or team w/ more than

    one user, the task will be reassigned to the record owner instead. So best practice is to never assign a

    task to a role.

    Create workflow tasks before creating the workflow rules that use them

    Workflow tasks do show up in activity history; workflow alerts do not

    Time dependent workflow - execute time dependent actions before of after any date on the record,

    perform a series of actions at various pts in time, use the workflow queue to manage all pending actions

    Time Triggers - any time values relevant to the record are used to initiate time dependent action

    Are any of the 5 workflow actions with an associated time trigger

    Queued whenever a rule is triggeredCan be reused in additional workflow rules as long as object is the same

    Are removed from the workflow queue if the corresponding record no longer meets rule

    trigger criteria

    Are dynamically updated in the workflow queue if the corresponding record field is updated

    Time Dependent Action - (ex - 7 days after close date, send out welcome email to new account)

    Time dependent workflow

    It's not possible to create a time-dependent action associated to a rule with a trigger type of "Every

    time the record is created or updated"

    You can update parent records when a child field is updated (with rule on child record field update)

    REVIEW:

    How is a workflow rule triggered?1.

    Can you reuse tasks and alerts for multiple worklfow rules?2.

    How can we monitor time based workflow?3.

    Do existing records that meet the workflow rule criteria trigger the rule?4.

    created, created/edited, created/edited and didn't previously meet criteria

    Yes - as long as ojbect is the same

    D is the answer to question at the top

    Approval proc - an automated bus process that you org can use to approve records in SF

    Steps necessary for a record to be approved

    Who must approve it at each step (can set up multiple approvers and can make either ALL or

    first one to respond for approval)

    The actions to take when a record is approved, rejected, or first submitted for approval

    An approval process specifies the :

    Records that are pending approval are automatically locked by SF (regardless of field level security, etc)

    You can skip approval steps based on formula or filter eval criteria

    Submitter can recall his approval request at any timeYou can have Assigned and Delegated approvers

    You can't auto submit a record for approval - you have to manually click Submit.

    Can add "Items to Approve" related list to home page; Add "Approval History" related list to Oppt

    layout, etc.

    Jump Start Wizard - for simple, one step approval procs

    Standard Wizard - for more complex procs and detailes steps/approvers

    Any task created (as long as object is the same),whether for workflow or approval proc, can be reused

    for other workflows or approval procs!

    When you activate an approval proc, you can't add or remove any steps!! - but you can EDIT steps

    Parallel approval routing - can send approval requests to multiple approvers in a single step (up to 25)

    B is the answer.

    REMEMBER - An error message will be displayed to the

    user IF the formula evaluates to true. So, the formula

    should be written so that the condition that should be

    avoided is what is written into the formula!!

    Data validation - ensure integrity of data before it's saved in SF

    Building data validation rules

    Setting the required and/or unique property on custom fields

    Features include:

    Boolean formula or expression that evaluates the data in one or more fields to either "True" or

    "False"

    A user defined error msg that displays when the formula returns a value of True

    Data validation rules contain:

    A user saves a record

    Before records are imported

    Using the force.com data loader and the force.com api

    Data validation rules execute when:

    Validation rules run on the server after the user clicks the SAVE button

    If an error condition is TRUE, the error message will display

    All active validation rules are run each time at save

    All objects except forecasts and territories can have data validation enforced

    Error condition formula

    Error message to display when formula = true

    Data validation rules must contain:

    EXAM QUESTION = Where can you make a field required? - PAGE LAYOUT!!(even though u can also

    do it on custom fields creation)

    Universally required property is only available for custom fields - not standard (applied at the data

    level, not UI)

    Data validation rules are executed for a RECORD, not a field (when the record is saved)

    Data val can be enforced for Lead Conversion (if you check the box)

    P 190. Al l

    REVIEW

    All std and custom fields in SF can be set as unique or required using the Property feature

    FALS E - only custom fields

    T/F - Data validation is enforced during lead conversion - true if u check the box

    Easy to use, multi step wizard for importing new accts, contacts, leads, custom objects or

    solutions

    Can be used for Acct, Contact, Lead , Cust Objects or Solutions updates based on matchingID

    Contact and leads may be updated based on matching email address

    Cust obects or solutions may be updated based on custom object names, solutions titles, sf

    id or external id

    CSV file type is required when using the import wizard

    Import wizard imports are limited to 50,000 records per session

    External ID - flag on any custom field of type Text, Number or Email; Allows customers to use the

    record ID from an external system in Import and the API (new "Upsert" call) - Helps to keep 2

    systems synchronized!

    You can have up to 3 fields per object flagged as External IDs

    Import wizard -must load parent objects first if lookup fie lds are included.For loading multiple

    record types, must load them as X# of different data loads for each X # of record types.

    Records in SF may share the same external ID. If you do an update to that external ID, it will

    update ALL of those records.\

    Accts and Contacts Import wizards -have built in de-dup functionality (for Accts - de-dup against

    Acct Name and Acct Site; For Contacts, de-dup against firstname/last name or email address

    Import Wizard -

    Application for bulk import or export of data

    Use to insert,update, delete, extract or upsert SF records

    Can move data into or out ofanySF object

    Support for large fi les w/ up to millions of rows

    Drag and drop field mapping

    Data Loader

    Comparison of Data Loader vs. Import Wizards:

    Data Loader

    Insert, delete, update, extract or upsert

    Move data into or out of any SF.com object

    Less validation

    Import Wizards

    Less options

    More limited - only Acct,Contact,Lead,Solutions and Cust

    objects

    Built in de-duplication logic

    Use the Data Loader When:

    You need to load 50,000 or more records

    You need to load into an object that is not yet supported by web-based import wizards

    You want to schedule regular data loads, such as nightly imports

    You want to save mappings for later use

    You want to export your data for backup purposes

    Use web-based Import Wizards when:

    You are loading fewer than 50,000 records

    The object you need to import is an Acct, Contact, Lead, Solution or Cust Object

    You want to prevent duplicatesby uploading records according to acct name and site, contact email

    address or lead email address

    If you're logging in from an IP that's not in the trusted range, you must add a security token (can

    request to reset it through the UI)

    Campaign - specific marketing program or marketing tactic; builds awareness and generates leads

    Campaign member - Lead or contact, who is associated to the campaign; individual who has responded

    to the campaign

    Can run standard "Campaign Call Down Report" to display l ist of contacts and leads associated to acampaign

    Must have Marketing User "license" checked as permission on user to create, edit and delete campaigns

    and configure advanced campaign setup

    Marketing users can import leads and use the campaign import wizards if they have the Marketing User

    profile

    Campaigns are included with EE, UE and Dev and can be purchased for addtl cost with Prof Edition

    Prospect that you want to market to

    Captures business card info

    Individual who has expressed interest in your prod or service

    Assigned ownership either manually or via Assignment Rule

    Lead - "unqualified interest"

    Individual who is associated to an Account (but doesn't have to be) ; may be someone you tried to

    sell to in the past, still want to stay in touch with, etc.

    Contact - "have an existing relationship with"

    Leads and contacts attached to campaigns are considered ROI for campaign

    Campaigns generate Leads ->Leads convert to Opportunities->Opportunities are analyzed with

    Dashboards and reports

    SF automatically maps standard lead fields to standard Account, Contact and Opportunity Fields

    For custom lead fields, you can specify how they map to custom account, contact and oppt fields

    Marketing ROI - leads created, contacts created, leads converted, oppts created, etc.

    Lead Conversion - lead qualification depends on your business process; lead info is mapped to the

    appropriate business object (acct, contact, oppt); existing data is checked for de-duping

    Opportunities created upon lead conversion contain some default values - no amounts, a close datedefaulted to the last day of the current quarter, and the stage equal to the first value of the stage

    picklist

    You can de-dup leads one at a time in SF. (e ither when you create it or when you convert it)

    Campaigns can be associated with leads, contacts and opportunities

    via file (report) - up to 50,000 at one time

    Via campaign wizard - up to 250 at one time

    You can add members (leads/contacts) to a campaign:

    Marketing User Profile - allows users to import leads for entire organization

    Marketing User Checkbox on user record - allows users to manage campaigns

    Influential campaigns can be attached to Oppts on the Campaign Influence related list (many to many

    relationship)

    Lead Queue - virtual storage bin to group leads based on criteria (i.e. industry, campaign); leads remainin queue until they're assigned or accepted by users

    Only 1 lead assignment rule can be active at a given time - but each rule can have multiple

    criteria

    Criteria are evaluated in the order in which they appear in the list, so you should prioritize your

    criteria within your rules (so start with most specific criteria at top, then get more generic)

    Lead Assignment rule - determines how leads are automatically assigned to users or a queue; contains

    rule entries, pre-defined business rules that determine lead routing

    Auto-response rule - (allow you to customize communication that goes back to a web Lead) - can

    contain rule entries to determine which email template and what content to send to leads generated via

    web-to-lead

    The Console - a tab that combines list view and related records into one screen w/ diff frames

    Sys admin creates the page layouts (selects which obj will be avail in li st view, and what will display in

    mini view) used in the console tab and assigns them to Profiles.

    Combines data from a number of different records into 1 screen - increases end user productivity, as

    they don't have to switch back and forth between records

    Detail view = center frame - detail view of any selected record

    Console layout - objects chosen by an admin to display in the l ist view (top of console)

    Admin chooses related objects to show in the mini console view on the right (mini page layouts are

    used to display those). You can only choose objects with a lookup relationship on the primary object.

    Mini page layouts are used to display those objects

    Mini page layouts - inhereit record type and profile associations, related lists, fields and field access

    settings from their associated page layout

    Step 1: Create consol layouts - what objects do I want to see?

    Step 2: Choose related objects for console mini view - what related objects (to step 1 objects) do I want

    to see?

    Step 3: Define mini page layouts - what fields on the related record do I want to see?

    Step 4: Assign profiles - you can only have 1 console layout per profile!

    You cannot create a new list view from the console.

    Custom Object - Allows you to capture additional info based on your bus requirements; enables you to

    build custom apps. Can create up to 200 custom objects in EE and UE; up to 100 in Prof Edition

    Custom Tab - Can have up to 25 in EE and UE

    Custom object security can be controlled using org wide defaultsCustom objects are searchable through the sidebar or adv search page only after you attach them to a

    custom tab!

    Custom objects - support sharing, field history tracking, queues (like leads and cases)

    One to many = Account to opportunities

    Many to many - ex = cases to solutions

    Standard Business object relationship type:

    Child automatically deleted when parent is deleted

    Sharing inherited from parent

    Lookup field on child is always required

    Reporting: both parent and child fields are available

    Master/Detail - can have up to 2

    Child not automatically deleted when parent is

    25 total lookup relationships allowed

    Lookup field on child isn't necessarily required

    Reporting: only child fields available

    Lookup - can have up to 25

    Can have up to 25 total (23 lookup, 2 master detail relationships!)

    Custom Object relationship type:

    KNOW for TEST: A custom object can NEVER be the master or a standard object!!

    (custom object can be a master of a custom object; std object can be master of a custom object )

    Many to many - junction objects allow many to many relationships - Junction objects can now have

    Master/Detail relationships with 2 objects; Junction objects can't have child objects and can't beimported via import wizard.

    List views on tabs

    Allows record to display in recent items list

    Allows you to search for and display search results for records of that object

    Pros of adding tab to custom object -gives you extra functionality: (up to 25 in EE, 10 in Prof)

    Can use in workflow - ex: Roll up summary field on Acct that has aggregate of Total Oppt Amt

    (could trigger workflow once you hit a certain amt)

    Can use for Accts & Oppts, or Oppts and Oppt Products; Otherwise needs to be a Master Detail

    relationship on the objects

    Calculated AFTER workflow is run on child

    Can take up to 30 minutes to recalculate

    Roll up summary fields - custom field type that aggregates child record info onto a parent record.

    Web Tab - can create a web tab to display external web resources (email, intranet, travel site, etc)

    Custom App - logical grouping of tabs; Enterprise can have up to 10 custom apps

    Territory management is an account sharing system that grants access to accounts based onthe characteristics of the accounts. It enables your company to structure your Salesforce dataand users the same way you structure your sales territories. Particularly if your organization hasa private sharing model, you may need to grant users access to accounts based on criteria suchas zip code, industry, revenue, or a custom field that is relevant to your business. You may alsoneed to generate forecasts for these diverse categories of accounts. Territory managementsolves these business needs and provides a powerful solution for structuring your users,accounts, and their associated contacts, opportunities, and cases.

    Account ownership and its effect on record sharing remains valid and unchanged when territorymanagement is in use.

    Territory management is not enabled by default in Salesforce. To request territory

    Territory-based sales reports.Territory management only affects accounts and the standard objects that have a

    master-detail relationship to accounts. For example, opportunities are included interritory management but leads and activities are not.What is a Territory?

    A territory is a flexible collection of accounts and users where the users have at least readaccess to the accounts, regardless of who owns the account. By configuring territory settings,users in a territory can be granted read, read/write, or owner-like access (that is, the ability toview, edit, transfer, and delete records) to the accounts in that territory. Both accounts andusers can exist in multiple territories. You can manually add accounts to territories, or you candefine account assignment rules that assign accounts to territories for you.Not only can you control access to accounts for users in each territory, you can also controlusers' access to the opportunities and cases associated with the accounts in the territory,regardless of who owns the records. For more information, see Territory Fields.What is a Territory Hierarchy?

    Territories exist in a hierarchy which you can set up with as many nested levels as you wish. Forexample, you could create a top-level territory named "Worldwide Sales" that has the childterritories "North America," "Europe/Middle East," "Latin America," "Africa," and "Asia/Australia.""North America" might have the child territories "Canada" and "United States." "United States"might have the child territories "Western," "Central," "Southern," and "Eastern." Finally,"Western" might have the child territories "California," "Oregon," "Washington," "Nevada,""Arizona," and "Utah." To see an example, view this example territory hierarchy graphic.Note that territory hierarchies do not have to be focused on geography; they can be definedhowever you like. For more information, see Building Your Territory Hierarchy.How Do Territories Affect Forecasting?When you enable territory management for your organization, your forecast data is derived fromthe opportunities that are associated with the accounts in your territories.

    About Advanced Currency ManagementAvailable in: Group, Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, and DeveloperEditions

    User Permissions Needed

    To enable advanced currency management: "Customize Application"

    To view currencies: "View Setup and Configuration"

    To change currencies: "Customize Application"

    Advanced Currency Management allows you to manage dated exchange rates withinopportunities using Salesforce. Dated exchange rates allow you to map a conversion rate to aspecific date range. For example, the exchange rate on January 1 was 1 USD to 1.39 AUD, buton February 1, it changed to 1 USD to 1.42 AUD. Your opportunities that closed betweenJanuary 1 and February 1 use the first exchange rate (1 = 1.39), while opportunities that closedafter February 1 used the second exchange rate (1 = 1.42).Dated exchange rates are defined using a start date and a conversion rate. Each rate is in effectuntil either the end of time or the day before the next start date for that currency. The timebetween on start date and the next start date is called the exchange rate date range. Theseranges can be as small as a day and as large as all of time.To enable or disable advanced currency management, see Enabling or Disabling AdvancedCurrency Management.When advanced currency management is first enabled, your existing exchange ratesautomatically become the first set of dated exchange rates. These rates will be valid for all time,until you define another set of exchange rates. For more information, seeEditing DatedExchange Rates.If you disable advanced currency management, all currency conversions will use the staticconversion rate. See Editing Conversion Rates.Advanced Currency Management Considerations

    Dated exchange rates are used for opportunities, opportunity products, opportunity productschedules, campaign opportunity fields, and reports related to these objects and fields. Datedexchange rates are not used in forecasting, currency fields in other objects, or currency fields inother types of reports.

    If you enable advanced currency management, you cannot create roll-up summary fields thatcalculate currency on the opportunity object. All existing currency-related roll-up summary fieldson the opportunity object will be disabled and their values will no longer be calculated. If yourorganization enables advanced currency management, you should delete any currency roll-upsummary fields using opportunities and accounts or opportunities and custom objects.

    Campaign opportunity fields use dated exchange rates when calculating the amount in thecampaign currency, but are not used when converting those amounts to the user currency.

    Cross-object formulas always use the static conversion rate for currency conversion.

    When transferring an account from one user to another, whichof the following options are selectable? (selectallthat apply)

    A. Transfer closed cases

    (your answer)

    B. Transfer closed

    opportunities (your

    answer)

    C. Transfer open activities (no)

    D. Transfer closed activities

    (no)

    The system administrator has created a new

    custom object and application. This individual

    now needs to populate the new object with 1000

    records, which are formatted in a CSV fi le. The

    Import Wizard (Data Management --> Import

    Custom Objects) is appropriate for this task.

    ANSWER: TRUE -

    The Import Custom Object wizard will

    import up to 50k records. Mass transferof custom objects, however, is not

    possible.

    Other things to know:

    List the standard profiles

    Login hours and IP restrictions -set org wide or at user level?

    Time dependent workflow will NOT work with the "every time a record is created or edited" evaluation

    criterion.

    To enable Advanced Currency Mgmt for an org, an admin must ENABLE MULTIPLE CURRENCIES (don't

    need to request from SF.com!)
