Explanation:

Net Zero Cloud allows toggling Scope 2 emissions preference (location-based vs. market-based) directly in Salesforce Setup, under dedicated Net Zero Cloud or Sustainability settings. This config influences how emissions are calculated system-wide, ensuring consistency. It’s not a prompt during installation, not defined through custom Emission Factors, and both methods are not simultaneously mandatory (they’re exclusive). Salesforce documentation confirms this preference setting location.

Explanation:

To convert an energy bill into carbon emissions, you first capture the usage details—e.g., kWh, term's—within an Energy Use Record (EUR). This record includes details such as billing period, consumption quantity, and Emissions Factor, which drives the tCO₂e calculation.

EURs are the only record type that handle actual usage-to-emissions logic; Carbon Footprint rolls up multiple EURs, Energy Contract logs contractual terms, and an Asset describes the building but doesn’t capture usage. Thus, only the Energy Use Record initiates the footprint calculation.

Explanation:

In Salesforce Net Zero Cloud, Einstein Analytics (now Tableau CRM) dashboards rely on dataflows to sync data from Net Zero Cloud records to the analytics platform. Dataflows are processes that extract, transform, and load data into datasets used by the dashboards. By default, these dashboards do not update automatically when records are created or updated in Net Zero Cloud because the dataflow must be executed to refresh the datasets. To ensure data syncing:

The client can run a manual dataflow to immediately update the dashboards with the latest data from Net Zero Cloud records.
Alternatively, the client can schedule a dataflow to run at regular intervals (e.g., daily or weekly) to automate the sync process and keep the dashboards updated.

This approach ensures that any new or updated data in objects like Energy Use Records or Carbon Footprints is reflected in the analytics datasets and dashboards.

Why the other options are incorrect:
A. Contact the client's Salesforce admin to fix this
While a Salesforce admin may be involved in setting up or troubleshooting dataflows, this option is too vague and does not directly address the specific action needed to sync data. Running or scheduling a dataflow is the actionable step, which the client or admin can perform.
C. Make sure that Einstein Analytics Permission is assigned
The Einstein Analytics Permission Set (or similar permissions) is necessary for users to access and view analytics dashboards, but it does not control the data sync process between Net Zero Cloud records and the dashboards. The issue lies in the dataflow execution, not user permissions.
D. Delete custom objects because the limit is 100 objects to ensure that data syncs between the records and dashboards
There is no evidence that a custom object limit of 100 directly impacts data syncing between Net Zero Cloud records and Einstein Analytics dashboards. The sync issue is related to dataflow execution, not the number of custom objects in the org.

Explanation:

A. Sustainability App Auditor
This permission set is designed specifically for users who need read-only access to the Sustainability App dashboards.
It grants visibility into Net Zero Cloud dashboards without edit rights.
Ideal for auditors, executives, or compliance reviewers.

B. Event Monitoring Analytics App
This is a permission set license that enables access to the Event Monitoring Analytics App in Analytics Studio.
Required to view dashboards that use event log data (e.g., login history, API usage, etc.).

D. Event Monitoring Analytics User
This permission set grants user-level access to the Event Monitoring dashboards.
It complements the license above and ensures the auditor can navigate and view the dashboards.

❌ Why Not the Others?
C. Sustainability App Manager
Grants full access, including configuration and data entry.
Not appropriate for an auditor who only needs to view dashboards.

E. Event Monitoring Analytics Admin
Grants admin-level access to Event Monitoring dashboards.
Overkill for an auditor; could violate least privilege principles.

Explanation:

In Salesforce Net Zero Cloud, an Energy Use Record captures energy consumption data (e.g., from utility bills or fuel usage) for a specific period and is designed to link to a single emissions source, such as a Stationary Asset or Vehicle Asset, via a lookup field (e.g., Stationary Asset Environmental Source Id or Vehicle Asset Emissions Source Id). This ensures the energy data is tied to one asset for accurate scope allocation and roll-up calculations.
Energy Use Records can also be associated with multiple Carbon Footprint records out of the box through automation features like Auto-Assign Carbon Footprints and Auto-Create Carbon Footprints. For instance, if an Energy Use Record's date range overlaps with existing Carbon Footprint periods (typically annual or custom reporting periods per asset), it automatically links to those footprints. If no matching footprint exists, Net Zero Cloud creates a new one and associates the record, allowing one Energy Use Record (e.g., a monthly bill) to contribute to multiple yearly or overlapping Carbon Footprint summaries.

Options A and B are incorrect because Energy Use Records do not support multiple Assets; they are asset-specific to maintain data integrity. Option C is incorrect as associations to other Energy Use Records are not standard—Energy Use Records are independent siblings under shared parents (Assets and Carbon Footprints) without direct linking between them.
