A Salesforce Administrator needs to configure distinct Case lifecycles and Case Status picklist values for a company's Customer Support team and Field Service team. Which two setup steps must the administrator perform to achieve this configuration? (Select 2 answers.)

  1. Create separate Support Processes to define the available Case Status values for each team.Answer
  2. Create separate Case Record Types and assign each to its corresponding Support Process.Answer
  3. C
    Assign Case Status picklist values directly to Case Record Types without creating a Support Process.
  4. D
    Configure Case Assignment Rules to dynamically restrict Case Status picklist options by user profile.

Answer

Creating separate Support Processes to define allowed status values for each team, and creating separate Case Record Types linked to those Support Processes.
In Salesforce, the Case object uses Support Processes to define the lifecycle stage values available in the Case Status field. An administrator must first create the required Support Processes to select the valid Case Status picklist values for each workflow, and then create Case Record Types that reference those Support Processes.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Create Support Processes
Defines distinct Case Status picklist lifecycles for Customer Support and Field Service.
Case Status values are tied directly to Support Processes rather than standard picklist record type configurations.
2
Create Case Record Types and Link Support Processes
Associates each Support Process and Page Layout with its dedicated Record Type.
Record Types provide the mechanism to deliver specific Support Processes and Page Layouts to target profiles.
