Difficulty: HardChatter Settings, Feed Tracking, and Publisher Layouts

An administrator at Apex Financial is configuring collaboration tools and feed updates for the system. The operations team requires automated Chatter updates when key fields change on the custom object Investment_Portfolio__c, and they also need streamlined quick actions across global feeds and object detail pages. Which two statements correctly describe the behavior and limitations of Chatter Feed Tracking and Publisher Layouts? (Select TWO)

  1. Enabling Feed Tracking on custom and standard objects allows an administrator to select up to 20 fields per object for automatic feed updates.Answer
  2. Global Publisher Layouts determine the quick actions visible on global Chatter feeds, whereas object page layouts determine the quick actions available on individual object record feeds.Answer
  3. C
    Enabling Feed Tracking for an object automatically monitors all fields and posts feed updates for any field value modification by default.
  4. D
    Object-specific quick actions added to a Global Publisher Layout automatically populate on all object record detail page feeds.
  5. E
    Feed Tracking field limits can be raised beyond 20 fields per object by creating a custom Chatter Publisher Layout.

Answer

Enabling Feed Tracking permits selecting up to 20 fields per object for automatic feed updates, and Global Publisher Layouts determine actions on global Chatter feeds while object page layouts determine actions on specific record feeds.
Enabling Feed Tracking permits administrators to choose up to 20 fields per standard or custom object to generate automatic record feed posts upon field updates. Additionally, Global Publisher Layouts determine the set of quick actions available on global feeds (such as the Home tab or Chatter tab), whereas individual object page layouts govern the actions appearing on specific record feeds.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate Chatter Feed Tracking field limits and field selection requirements.
Salesforce allows tracking up to 20 fields per object, and administrators must explicitly select which fields to track after enabling Feed Tracking.
Enabling feed tracking on an object does not automatically track all fields on that object, nor can the 20-field threshold be exceeded.
2
Analyze the functional scope of Global Publisher Layouts versus Object Page Layouts.
Global Publisher Layouts dictate the actions visible on global locations like Home and Chatter feeds, whereas page layouts control the actions shown on individual object record pages.
Global layout configurations do not automatically distribute object-specific quick actions to record page layouts.

Key Concept

Chatter Feed Tracking limits (maximum 20 fields per object) and operational scope of Global Publisher Layouts vs. Object Page Layouts.
