I definitely recall that we need to specify where the error message shows up, but I can't remember if that's one of the options here.

I think the formula return type is important, but I might be mixing it up with other types of rules we practiced.

This seems like a classic validation rule question. The formula return type and error condition formula are the key functions the administrator will need to focus on. The other options are less relevant.

Haha, this is a piece of cake! B) Error condition formula and C) Error message location are the obvious choices. And don't worry, if you get it wrong, you can always blame it on the 'Northern Trail Outfitters' curse.

Ooh, I know this one! B) Error condition formula and C) Error message location are definitely the way to go. And don't forget D) Rule active date - gotta make sure that validation rule is ready to go when you need it!

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Shouldn't the administrator also be using A) Formula return type? I mean, how else are they going to define the condition for the validation rule?
