Salesforce Administrator — Question 511

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 year?

Answer options

• A. Create a report that shows any Showing Dates not scheduled in the current year to be updated.
• B. Sync the users’ Showing Calendar to Salesforce and filter it to only look at this year.
• C. Add Help Text so the user knows to only add a Showing Date within the current year.
• D. Create a validation rule that ensures Showing Date contains a date within the current year.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a validation rule can enforce that the Showing Date falls within the current year, preventing incorrect entries. Options A and B do not prevent users from entering future dates; they only report or sync existing data. Option C provides guidance but does not enforce any restrictions on data entry.
