C_THR81 Employee Central Core Practice Question
A company uses Employee Central with MDF (Metadata Framework) objects. An administrator needs to create a new custom MDF object called 'Company Car' that will store car details for employees. The object must have a field that links to the employee's Job Information record. Which field type should be used for this link?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse a User field with an Association field; a User field links to a user account, not to a specific Job Information record.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Association
The Association field type is designed to create relationships between MDF objects or between an MDF object and a standard object. By using an Association field, the 'Company Car' object can link to the Job Information record, enabling easy access to related data and ensuring data consistency.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
User
Why it's wrong here
A User field type links to a user record in the system, not to a Job Information record. While it could identify the employee, it would not directly link to the Job Information object, which is necessary to access job-specific data like legal entity or position.
- ✗
Picklist
Why it's wrong here
A picklist field stores a static list of values, not a dynamic link to another object. It cannot reference a specific employee's Job Information record. Using a picklist would require manual maintenance and would not create a relational association.
- ✗
String
Why it's wrong here
A String field stores free text, such as an employee ID or name, but it does not create a relational link. It would not allow the system to navigate to the Job Information record or enforce referential integrity. This approach is error-prone and not scalable.
- ✓
Association
Why this is correct
An Association field type creates a relationship to another MDF object or a standard object like Job Information. It stores a reference to the target record, allowing the 'Company Car' object to link directly to the employee's Job Information record for seamless data retrieval.
