Actual exam question for Salesforce's ADX-201 exam

Question #: 78
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 hear ya, but what if they want to schedule a showing on February 30th? Gotta think outside the box, people!

Ah, the age-old debate - user education vs. system enforcement. I'm with the validation rule crowd on this one. Less room for human error, more efficiency.

B? A report? Really? That's just creating more work for the admin. Keep it simple with a validation rule, folks.

I guess C could work, but that's just begging for someone to forget and schedule a showing for next year. D is the clear winner in my opinion.

D, no doubt about it. Validation rules are the way to go here. I'm not a fan of relying on users to read the help text - they never do!

Yeah, validation rules are a great way to enforce data accuracy. It's better to have a system in place rather than relying on user behavior.
