Salesforce Administrator — Question 298

Identify the statement that correctly defines data validation

Answer options

• A. Data validation ensures the integrity of data before its saved in SF
• B. Data validation ensures the integrity of data after its saved in SF
• C. Data validation ensures the integrity of data when data is imported in SF
• D. Data validation ensures the integrity of data when data is exported in SF

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because data validation is performed prior to saving data in Salesforce (SF) to ensure its accuracy and integrity. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they refer to the data's integrity at inappropriate stages of the data lifecycle, either after saving or during import/export processes.
