Which configuration in Salesforce fulfills this requirement?

  2. B
    Create a custom junction object with master-detail relationships connecting the Event object directly to the Contact object.

    Configure Group Events so that Salesforce automatically generates 15 separate event records for each related contact.
  4. D
    Enable Shared Accounts in Activity Settings to link up to 50 Accounts and Contacts to the event record simultaneously.

Answer

Enabling 'Allow Users to Relate Multiple Contacts to Tasks and Events' (Shared Activities) in Activity Settings.
Enabling 'Allow Users to Relate Multiple Contacts to Tasks and Events' (Shared Activities) in Activity Settings allows sales reps to associate up to 50 contacts to a single task or event. The system automatically designates one contact as the primary contact, fulfilling the exact requirement.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the business requirement
The requirement calls for associating up to 15 Contact records to a single Event record while maintaining one primary Contact.
Tracking multiple attendee contacts on a single interaction is a standard requirement handled by Salesforce activity features.
2
Evaluate standard Salesforce Activity Management settings
Salesforce provides the 'Shared Activities' setting ('Allow Users to Relate Multiple Contacts to Tasks and Events').
Shared Activities enables relating up to 50 contacts to a single non-recurring task or event.
3
Verify primary contact designation capability
When Shared Activities is enabled, the first contact selected or explicitly designated becomes the primary contact.
This satisfies the requirement for single-record logging with a designated primary contact for reports.

Key Concept

Shared Activities in Salesforce allow users to relate up to 50 contacts to a single event or task record, designating one contact as primary.
