Salesforce Administrator — Question 352

DreamHouse Realty uses Content to store files for Marketing collateral. The Marketing VP wants the Collateral_ID__c to be required and for the ID to contain a minimum of ten characters.
What should an administrator suggest to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Validation Rules
• B. Create Collateral_ID__c as a formula field.
• C. Workflow Rules
• D. Mark Collateral_ID__c as required on the page layout.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Validation Rules are the appropriate solution because they can enforce specific criteria such as making Collateral_ID__c required and ensuring it meets the minimum character length. Creating Collateral_ID__c as a formula field would not allow for user input, while Workflow Rules do not enforce field requirements. Simply marking it as required on the page layout does not enforce the character count validation.
