Salesforce Certified Advanced Administrator — Question 99

The director of sales wants to make sure that every opportunity has either a sales engineer or an account executive assigned to the deal.

How should the administrator meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Assign a task to the owner if an opportunity is created without one of these fields filled out.
• B. Create a different record type for deals with Sales Engineers and deals with Account Executives to capture one or the other.
• C. Require the Sales Engineer and the Account Executive lookup fields on the page layout.
• D. Write a validation rule that checks if the fields are blank and require that one of them be completed in order to save the opportunity.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it directly enforces the requirement that at least one of the fields must be filled before an opportunity can be saved. Option A does not prevent the issue at the time of saving, while option B complicates the process by creating separate record types. Option C only makes the fields visible but does not enforce the requirement effectively.
