Universal Freight Solutions requires an automated mechanism on a custom object named Vendor Compliance Review. Whenever a Vendor Compliance Review record is created or updated, the system must automatically set the Risk Index score field on the triggering record based on selected risk factors before the record is saved to the database. Which automation tool should the Salesforce administrator select to fulfill this requirement efficiently?

- DA Scheduled-Triggered Flow that evaluates updated records in a loop every night
Answer
Record-Triggered Flow optimized for Fast Field Updates (Before-Save)
A Record-Triggered Flow configured for Fast Field Updates (Before-Save) is the recommended tool when updating fields on the same record that triggers the automation.
