A Salesforce administrator at a software company needs to create two custom fields on the Account object to track client subscription details. The business requirements state:
1. A field to store whether an account currently has an active subscription (a simple true/false indicator).
2. A field allowing sales reps to choose one or more applicable feature add-ons from a predefined list.
Which two custom field data types should the administrator configure to meet these requirements? (Select 2)
- CheckboxAnswer
- Picklist (Multi-Select)Answer
- CLookup Relationship
- DAuto-Number
- ERadio Buttons
Answer
The administrator should select Checkbox for the active subscription indicator and Picklist (Multi-Select) for selecting multiple predefined feature add-ons.
The Checkbox data type provides a straightforward boolean (true/false) field, ideal for indicating active status. The Picklist (Multi-Select) data type allows users to select multiple values simultaneously from a set list of predefined values, satisfying the requirement to select multiple feature add-ons.
