Question 2

An administrator is troubleshooting an Omni-Channel Flow that is failing to route work items correctly. Which THREE debugging or configuration best practices should the administrator check? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Verify that the active version of the flow contains the correct Route Work action parameters.. When troubleshooting Omni-Channel flows, administrators should check flow version activation, correct record variable input mapping, and ensure routing actions reference active service channels and queues.

Answer

Check that the Debug Log level for Workflow is set to Maximum.

Answer

Question 3

An administrator is troubleshooting an issue where Case Escalation Rules are failing to fire for high-priority cases. Which THREE common configuration mistakes could cause escalation rules to fail? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

The case status is updated, which resets the escalation timer if 'Re-evaluate Case Age' is enabled.. Escalation rules require specific setup: the rule must be marked active, business hours must be correctly associated (or omitted if 24/7), and the 'last modified' criteria or age over time must be configured correctly. Furthermore, rules do not fire if cases are closed or if the rule criteria are never met.

Answer

Case Team members were not assigned read permissions on the escalation queue.

Answer

The case was created via Email-to-Case, which bypasses escalation rules entirely.

Question 18

Universal Containers wants to retire an outdated article type while retaining access to historical articles that were already published under that type. What is the recommended best practice for the administrator?

Accepted Answer

Archive all active articles of that type, remove the Record Type from user profiles, and keep the object structure intact for historical reporting.. To retire an article type or layout while keeping historical records accessible, administrators should unassign record types or archive existing articles, keeping in mind that Salesforce Knowledge uses record types rather than legacy 'article types' in Lightning.

Answer

Delete the Knowledge Record Type immediately to purge associated database tables and reclaim storage space.

Answer

Convert the Knowledge object into a custom object using the Custom Object Conversion Wizard.

Answer

Change the API name of the Record Type to 'Deprecated' so agents know not to select it.
