[All ADX-201 Questions]

The administrator has been asked to automate a simple field update on the account. When a

support agent changes the status of the account to 'Audited', they would like the system to

automatically update the Audited date field on the account with today's date.

Which tool should the administrator use to complete this automation?

AApproval process

BFormula Field

CFlow Builder

DValidation Rule

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

A formula field is a type of field that calculates a value based on an expression or formula that references other fields or constants. For example, a formula field can display today's date by using the TODAY() function. In this case, the administrator can create a formula field on the account object that updates the audited date field with today's date when the status of the account is changed to 'Audited'.

Validation rules seem like they would prevent changes rather than automate them, so I don't think that's it.

I practiced a similar question where we had to automate a field update, and I think Flow Builder was the right choice there too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about formula fields being used for calculations, not updates.

I think we might need to use Flow Builder for this, since it can handle updates based on record changes.
