ADM-201 Question #376: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

The administrator at Universal Container has created two objects: Containers_c Purchase_c, Management has requested that all container records display on purchase records in Salesforce. Which type of relationship between Containers_c and Purchase_c should satisfy the requirement?

Options

• ARoll-Up Summary field
• BFormula field
• CMaster-detail field
• DLookup field

Explanation

To display all related Container records on a Purchase record, the administrator should establish a Lookup relationship from the Container object to the Purchase object.

Common mistakes.

• A. A Roll-Up Summary field aggregates data from related detail records onto a master record, but it does not define the relationship itself; it depends on an existing Master-Detail relationship.
• B. A Formula field calculates values based on other fields and does not establish a relationship between two objects for displaying related lists.
• C. While a Master-Detail relationship also displays related records, a Lookup relationship is sufficient for merely displaying related records and offers more flexibility if strict ownership/security inheritance or roll-up summaries are not explicitly required.

Concept tested. Lookup relationships for related lists
