Salesforce Administrator — Question 157

At Ursa Major Solar, Sales representatives use a custom report type for Account reports. New fields have been created on the Account Object.
An Administrator needs to report on the newly created fields.
What should the Administrator do to achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. From the Custom Report Type, Edit Layout, then add the new fields to the report.
• B. From the Custom Report Type, Edit Object Relationships, then add the new fields to the report.
• C. Create a new account report and add the new fields from the Report Builder.
• D. Create a new account report folder, go to share, and then add the new fields.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because editing the layout of the custom report type allows the Administrator to directly add the new fields to the report format. Option B is incorrect as editing object relationships does not enable the addition of fields to the report itself. Option C suggests creating a new report but does not address the need to modify the existing custom report type. Option D is unrelated to the inclusion of fields in a report as it focuses on sharing a folder.
