A company recently restructured its business development team. A sales operations manager asks the administrator to reassign 350 open Lead records from a departing team member to a newly hired representative. Additionally, all open activities attached to these Leads must automatically shift to the new representative, while leaving closed activities untouched. Which feature or tool should the administrator utilize to accomplish this task efficiently without needing to prepare or update external CSV files?
- The native Mass Transfer Records wizard in SetupAnswer
- BThe Data Import Wizard using an Update operation
- CData Loader using an Export followed by a Bulk API Update
- DThe Data Export Service configured with automated field replacement rules
Answer
The native Mass Transfer Records wizard in Setup is the correct solution because it enables administrators to mass reassign ownership of Leads directly in the user interface, with built-in criteria to automatically transfer open activities without requiring CSV file manipulation.
The Mass Transfer Records wizard in Setup is specifically built for reassigning ownership of standard objects (such as Leads, Accounts, and Contacts) in bulk directly through the UI. It includes native options to transfer open activities attached to those records without modifying CSV data.
