When you delete a custom field, the data in that field is stored for 20 days before it is permanently deleted. During this time, you can restore the field and its data from the Recycle Bin or use Data Loader to export the data.

Lightning record page is a type of page that should be created to meet this requirement. Lightning record page allows an administrator to customize the layout and components for a specific object record page in Lightning Experience or the Salesforce mobile app. To create tabs for account details, related lists, and chatter feeds, use the Tabs component in the Lightning App Builder and drag the desired components to each tab.

To access the account object in Salesforce, users need to have permission to the account object on their profile or permission set. Permission to an object determines what users can do with records of that object, such as create, read, edit, delete, view all, or modify all. If users do not have permission to an object, they will not be able to see or access that object in Salesforce.

Business hours are used to specify the days and hours when your company’s employees work. You can create multiple sets of business hours for different time zones or regions and assign them to users based on their location or function. To meet the requirement of having different business hours for reps on pacific time and eastern time, you need to create one set of business hours per time zone and assign them accordingly.

Roll-up summary fields allow you to calculate the sum of a field from child records related to a parent record.

A master-detail relationship is a parent-child relationship in which the master object controls certain behaviors of the detail object. The master object can be a standard or custom object, but not all standard objects support being a master. Roll-up summaries are fields that calculate the sum, count, min, or max of child records. The owner field on the detail records is not available and is automatically set to the owner of the master record.

To enable users to add repeating tasks in Salesforce, the administrator needs to do two things: first, enable the creation of recurring tasks in activity settings under setup; second, add the create recurring series of tasks field on the page layouts for tasks. This will allow users to create a series of tasks that repeat based on a specified frequency and end date. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.tasks_repeating.htm &type=5

Two reasons that would prevent a user from being deactivated are that the user is part of a territory hierarchy or that the user is assigned in workflow email alert. A territory hierarchy is a structure that defines how territories are related to each other in Salesforce; if a user is part of a territory hierarchy, they cannot be deactivated until they are removed from all territories. A workflow email alert is an action that sends an email to one or more recipients when a workflow rule is triggered; if a user is assigned in workflow email alert, they cannot be deactivated until they are removed from all email alerts. The user being in a custom hierarchy field or being the highest role in role hierarchy are not reasons that would prevent deactivation; they may affect data visibility or record ownership after deactivation, but they do not block deactivation itself.

To automate an outbound message, the administrator should use a workflow rule that defines the criteria for sending the message and the actions to perform when those criteria are met. One of the actions available for workflow rules is sending an outbound message to a designated endpoint URL with specified fields as parameters. Process builder, task assignment, and flow builder are not able to send outbound messages directly.

The Opportunity Stage Duration report is a standard report that shows how long opportunities spend in each stage before they are closed. It can be used to measure the average stage duration for all closed opportunities by grouping and summarizing the data by stage name and duration fields. Using process builder to capture the daily average on each opportunity is not feasible because it would require creating multiple fields and formulas on the opportunity object and updating them every day. Adding formula fields to track stages on each opportunity is also not practical because it would require creating multiple fields and formulas on the opportunity object and maintaining them every time a stage changes. Refreshing weekly reporting snapshots for closed opportunities is not necessary because the report can run on real-time data without snapshots.

Record types allow you to update the options in a picklist based on the kind of opportunity.

To boost productivity by providing insights at the start of each day, the administrator should add three sales-specific standard Lightning components to the homepage:

Activities, which shows tasks and events related to records that matter most to users

Assistant, which provides personalized suggestions and reminders for key updates and actions

Key Deals, which highlights important opportunities that need attention or are close to closing Path and Performance Chart are not standard Lightning components, but custom components that can be added to specific objects or pages.

To allow a user to add new Campaign Members or update Member statuses, the administrator should make sure that Marketing User Checkbox is checked on the user record page. This checkbox enables users to create, edit, and delete campaigns, configure advanced campaign setup, import leads, manage campaign members, and update campaign history via mass update. The checkbox also requires users to have Read and Edit permissions on campaigns and leads/contacts. Creating a permission set, providing access to both Leads and Contacts, or running a Campaign report will not enable users to manage Campaign Members.

Profile assignment and page layout assignment are two assignments that should be used to display a new record type to users. Profile assignment determines which profiles can access a record type and which record type is the default for each profile. Page layout assignment determines which page layout is assigned to each record type and profile combination.
