Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 365

Universal Containers (UC) delivers purchased containers to remote construction sites. Customers supply UC with crossroads or location makers.

What type of field should the app builder use to capture this information?

Answer options

• A. Geolocation
• B. Number
• C. Formula
• D. External Lookup

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Geolocation field type is specifically designed to store geographic coordinates and location data, making it the ideal choice for capturing crossroads or location markers. The Number field is not suitable as it does not provide location-specific capabilities, while the Formula field is used for calculations rather than direct data entry. The External Lookup field is for linking to records in external systems, which is not relevant in this context.
