Aw computing wants to prevent user from updating the Account Annual Revenue field to be a negative value or an amount more than $100 billion. How should an administrator accomplish this request?

Question

Options

• ACreate a validation rule that displays an error if Account revenue is below 0 or greater than 100
• BBuild a scheduled report displaying Account with Account revenue that is negative or greater than
• CMake the Account Revenue field required on the page layout.
• DEnable the Account Revenue limits in setup, with 0 as minimum and 100 billion as maximum

• A
  76% (45)
• B
  7% (4)
• C
  3% (2)
• D
  14% (8)

Explanation

Validation rules are the correct tool here because they actively prevent invalid data from being saved - when a user tries to enter a negative value or one exceeding $100 billion, Salesforce blocks the save and displays a custom error message in real time. Option B (a scheduled report) is reactive, not preventive - it would only identify bad data after it's already been saved, not stop it. Option C (making the field required) only ensures the field isn't left blank; it does nothing to restrict the range of values entered. Option D is a fabricated feature - Salesforce has no "Account Revenue limits" setting in Setup.

Memory tip: Think of validation rules as a bouncer at the door - they enforce rules before data enters the system. Reports are like a security camera - they show you what already happened. If the question asks how to prevent something, think validation rules first.
