Muting permission sets allow you to remove permissions that are granted by a permission set group.

A sales process is a set of stages that an opportunity goes through as it moves from creation to close. It can be customized by administrators to match different business models or product lines within an org. Creating a new sales process can help Dreamhouse Realty define a different set of stages for its new home concierge offering that is unlike anything the company has offered in the past and follows a different business model. Creating a quick action, a new approval process, or a new opportunity product are not solutions for creating a customized sales process; they are used for different purposes such as creating records, approving records, or adding products to opportunities.

To route new leads to the correct sales person based on the lead address, the administrator should use lead assignment rules that specify criteria based on lead fields such as City, State/Province, or Country, and assign leads that match those criteria to queues or users. Lead assignment rules can be triggered automatically when leads are created or manually by users. Creating a formula field, assigning with an escalation rule, or configuring a validation rule will not route leads to sales people. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.leads_assignment_rules.htm &type=5

To require the Amount field during the negotiation stage for sales users but allow their managers to make changes, the administrator should configure a validation rule that checks if the user profile is not a sales manager, the stage is negotiation, and the amount is blank. This will prevent sales users from saving the record without entering an amount, but allow sales managers to do so. Making the field required for all users will not meet the requirement. Creating a formula field or assigning the administrator profile to the managers will not affect field requirement.

The Assignment Rule checkbox is a checkbox that appears on manual case creation pages when assignment rules are defined for cases. The Assignment Rule checkbox determines whether or not to apply assignment rules to manually created cases. If the Assignment Rule checkbox is selected by default, then any manually created cases will be assigned according to assignment rules instead of being owned by the agent creating them. To prevent this from happening, an administrator can either deselect the Assignment Rule checkbox when creating cases manually; or change the default setting for this checkbox under setup by selecting or deselecting Use active assignment rules by default. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_casesupport_assign.htm &type=5

Escalation rules allow you to escalate cases based on certain criteria, such as time or priority. You can use escalation rules to transfer unassigned cases to the appropriate service representative within a specified time frame.

Themes are a way to customize the look and feel of Salesforce by changing the colors, images, and logos that appear on Lightning Experience pages. However, there are some limitations and considerations when using themes, such as: only one theme can be active at a time, and a theme applies to the entire org; themes apply only to Lightning Experience and do not affect Salesforce Classic or the Salesforce mobile app; up to 300 custom themes can be created, modified, or cloned from the built-in themes; Chatter external users see the built-in Lightning theme only and cannot see custom themes.

Process Builder is a tool that can be used to implement this request. Process Builder can create record-triggered flows that execute actions when certain conditions are met. In this case, Process Builder can create a flow that executes when a contact with a title of CEO is created and updates the contact’s account record with the CEO’s name.

Report type is a tool that can be used to pull contact fields into the custom report for Event. Report type defines the set of records and fields available to a report based on the relationships between a primary object and its related objects. To edit the custom Event report type and add fields related via lookup, go to Setup > Report Types and select the Event report type. Then click Edit Layout and drag the fields from the Contact object to the layout. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.reports_builder_create_report_type.htm &type=5

Formula fields are types of fields that calculate a value based on an expression or formula that references other fields or constants. Formula fields prevent administrators from changing their field type once they are created because they may be referenced by other functionalities such as reports, validation rules, workflow rules, etc., that depend on their data type and value. If a formula field is referenced by other functionalities, then changing its field type may cause errors or unexpected results.

Lightning app pages, Chatter, and dashboards are three items that are available in the mobile navigation menu. The mobile navigation menu allows users to access different items in the Salesforce mobile app, such as objects, apps, or utilities. Users can customize their mobile navigation menu by adding or removing items and changing their order. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.app_nav_setup.htm &type=5

A dashboard filter is a feature that allows users to filter dashboard components by one or more field values without changing the underlying report data. For example, a dashboard filter can allow users to view cases by origin, status, or owner. A dashboard filter consists of a filter name, one or more source fields, and one or more filter values. Users can apply one or more filters to see different views of the dashboard data. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.dashboards_filters.htm &type=5

Security Health Check is a tool that can be used to identify and fix potential session vulnerabilities. Security Health Check scans the security settings in an org and compares them to a baseline set of standards, such as the Salesforce Baseline Standard or the Salesforce Optimized Standard. Security Health Check provides a health check score and a list of issues and recommendations for improving the security settings. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_health_check.htm &type=5

Making a field universally required is a way to ensure that the field needs to be filled on every record; it prevents users from saving a record without entering a value in that field. It can be used to ensure that the billing system field needs to be filled on every invoice record by making it universally required in the field settings. Creating a process builder to set the field, defining an approval process for the child, or requiring the field on the record type are not ways to ensure that the field needs to be filled on every record; they either do not enforce data entry or only apply to certain scenarios or users.

A sales process is a set of stages that an opportunity goes through as it moves from creation to close. A record type is a way to offer different business processes, picklist values, and page layouts to different users based on their profiles. A page layout controls the layout and organization of detail and edit pages for a specific object and record type combination. To meet the requirement of having different fields and stages for each team, you need to create three sales processes for each market segment, three record types for each sales process, and three page layouts for each record type.

IP address restrictions allow you to prevent users from accessing Salesforce from outside of their network. You can set IP address restrictions on the profile level or globally for the org. To enforce IP restrictions for API logins, you must select Enforce Login IP Ranges on Every Request in Session Settings.

Big Deal Alerts are notifications that are sent to users when an opportunity reaches a certain amount, probability, or stage. They can be configured by administrators to alert sales reps or managers when they have a high likelihood of winning a big deal. Key Deals are a feature of Einstein Opportunity Scoring that shows the top opportunities based on their score and stage, but they do not send notifications. Activity Timeline is a component of Lightning Experience that shows the past and upcoming activities related to a record, but it does not notify users of big deals. Performance chart is a type of report chart that shows how well users or teams are performing against their goals, but it does not alert users of big deals.

To transfer data from a lead custom field to an opportunity field upon lead conversion, an administrator needs to create a custom field on the opportunity object that matches the data type and length of the lead custom field, and then map the two fields using the lead field mapping tool under setup. This will ensure that the value of the product category field on the lead is copied to the corresponding field on the opportunity when the lead is converted.

To free up user licenses for new users, the administrator should deactivate the former employees user record. This will prevent them from logging in and using Salesforce resources, but preserve their historical activities and data. Deleting or freezing user records will not release user licenses.
