A nonprofit uses Volunteers for Salesforce. The nonprofit has volunteers who work the same schedule every week. The volunteer manager wants to avoid asking these ongoing volunteers to sign up for the same shift every time.
How should the consultant configure Salesforce to meet the requirement?

A. Use the Volunteer Recurrence Schedules in Volunteers for Salesforce to create the volunteers' schedules.

B. Enter all volunteer IDs and schedules on a spreadsheet and use an ETL tool to create volunteer hours records In Volunteers for Salesforce.

C. Install a grid app from the AppExchange to mass enter volunteer hours based on each volunteer's schedule.

D. Use the Job Recurrence Schedule functionality In Volunteers for Salesforce to create the volunteers' schedules.

A.   Use the Volunteer Recurrence Schedules in Volunteers for Salesforce to create the volunteers' schedules.

Explanation:
The requirement is to automate the scheduling for volunteers with a fixed, recurring weekly shift without requiring them to manually sign up each time. Volunteers for Salesforce (V4S) has a specific feature designed for this exact purpose: Volunteer Recurrence Schedules. This feature allows the manager to set up a repeating schedule for a volunteer, which automatically creates future Volunteer Hours records.

Correct Option:

A. Use the Volunteer Recurrence Schedules in Volunteers for Salesforce to create the volunteers' schedules.
Within the Volunteer record (linked to a Contact), there is a "Recurrence Schedules" related list. Here, the manager can define a recurring pattern (e.g., every Tuesday 9am-12pm). The system will automatically generate Volunteer Hours records for future occurrences, eliminating the need for manual sign-ups each week.

Incorrect Options:

B. Enter all volunteer IDs and schedules on a spreadsheet and use an ETL tool to create volunteer hours records in Volunteers for Salesforce.
While technically possible, this is a manual, external, and complex workaround that reinvents the wheel. It requires ongoing maintenance via ETL jobs and bypasses the built-in, supported Volunteer Recurrence Schedules feature.

C. Install a grid app from the AppExchange to mass enter volunteer hours based on each volunteer's schedule.
A third-party grid app might help with bulk data entry, but it does not provide automated, ongoing recurrence. It would still require manual intervention to create future shifts. It's an unnecessary addition when native functionality exists.

D. Use the Job Recurrence Schedule functionality in Volunteers for Salesforce to create the volunteers' schedules.
Job Recurrence Schedules are for creating recurring Volunteer Jobs (e.g., "Food Bank Shift every Saturday"), not for assigning a specific volunteer to a recurring schedule. The Volunteer Recurrence Schedule (Option A) is the correct object for assigning a volunteer to a personal recurring shift.

Reference:
Volunteers for Salesforce (V4S) Help: "Volunteer Recurrence Schedules." This feature is designed to automate shift assignments for volunteers with standing commitments, generating future Volunteer Hours records automatically based on a defined pattern.

An international nonprofit added a translated Relationship picklist value but both Relationship records are displaying incorrectly. What is the cause of this issue?

A. The current user has an incorrect locale.

B. The reciprocal relationship value is missing in the NPSP Settings tab.

C. The Translation Workbench is disabled.

D. The language is unsupported in NPSP.

A.   The current user has an incorrect locale.

Explanation:
The issue is not just that a new translated value was added, but that the Relationship records (both the original and the reciprocal) are displaying incorrectly. This indicates a failure in the core logic of how NPSP handles reciprocal relationships, which is a key part of the NPSP Relationships feature.

Correct Option: B

B. The reciprocal relationship value is missing in the NPSP Settings tab.
NPSP Relationship Logic: In NPSP, when you create a relationship (e.g., Jane is the "Sister" of John), NPSP automatically creates a reciprocal relationship record (John is the "Brother" of Jane).

Configuration Requirement: For this automation to work correctly, the pair of values ("Sister" and "Brother") must be correctly configured as a reciprocal pair in NPSP Settings > People > Relationship Settings.

Impact of Missing Reciprocal: If the reciprocal value is missing or incorrect (especially if a new translated value was added but its partner wasn't configured), the NPSP trigger fails to correctly create or update the reciprocal record, causing the data to display incorrectly or inconsistently on one or both Contact records.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. The current user has an incorrect locale.
Rationale: An incorrect locale or language setting would affect the translation of the picklist value (the displayed word), but it would not cause the Relationship record itself to be structured or displayed incorrectly (i.e., failing to create the reciprocal link).

C. The Translation Workbench is disabled.
Rationale: The Translation Workbench is necessary for the picklist value to display in different languages. If it were disabled, the user would likely just see the master (English) value, but it would not cause the reciprocal relationship logic to fail.

D. The language is unsupported in NPSP.
Rationale: NPSP supports all languages supported by Salesforce. Even if a specific language wasn't fully supported, the core NPSP relationship automation would still run based on the master field values, making the missing reciprocal configuration (B) the most direct cause of a display error on both relationship records.

Donations made by nonprofit volunteers are captured on a spreadsheet monthly. The nonprofit utilizes NPSP and Volunteers for Salesforce.
Which two NPSP Data Import features will streamline the import of these donations? Choose 2 answers

A. Create a Batch and map Opportunity Primary Contact on First and Last Name.

B. Schedule a Batch by updating the NPSP Scheduled Batches.

C. Create a Batch and match Contact on First and Last Name.

D. Schedule a Batch by checking the Process Using Scheduled Job checkbox.

C.   Create a Batch and match Contact on First and Last Name.
D.   Schedule a Batch by checking the Process Using Scheduled Job checkbox.

Explanation:
The scenario involves a monthly import of donation data from a spreadsheet, where volunteers are already Contacts in Salesforce. The NPSP Data Import tool (specifically the Batch Data Import/Data Import object) can automate and streamline this recurring process. Key features include automated matching to existing Contacts to prevent duplicates and the ability to schedule batches for unattended processing.

Correct Options:

C. Create a Batch and match Contact on First and Last Name.
When setting up the import, you can configure matching rules to find existing Contacts based on First Name and Last Name (or other fields). This prevents duplicate Contact creation and automatically links donations to the correct volunteer records, streamlining the process.

D. Schedule a Batch by checking the Process Using Scheduled Job checkbox.
On the Data Import Batch record, checking "Process Using Scheduled Job" allows the batch to be processed automatically at a scheduled time (or immediately via Apex). This is essential for streamlining monthly imports, as it avoids manual clicking of "Process Batch."

Incorrect Options:

A. Create a Batch and map Opportunity Primary Contact on First and Last Name.
The Opportunity Primary Contact field is a lookup to a Contact record, not a text field. You cannot map directly to it using First and Last Name text. Instead, you match the Contact using name/email fields (Option C), and the system automatically sets the Primary Contact. This option describes an incorrect mapping approach.

B. Schedule a Batch by updating the NPSP Scheduled Batches.
There is no standard object or setting called "NPSP Scheduled Batches" for scheduling data imports. Scheduling is done via the "Process Using Scheduled Job" checkbox on the Data Import Batch record (Option D) or via other automation tools.

Reference:
NPSP Data Import Tool documentation: "Match Donors to Existing Contacts" and "Schedule Data Import Batches." The tool uses matching rules (like First/Last Name) to find existing Contacts, and the "Process Using Scheduled Job" option enables automated processing, which are key features for streamlining recurring imports.

A nonprofit is embarking on an organization implementation to replace numerous outdated systems. A consultant recommends establishing a Lean Governance Frame work to ensure compliance, assess risk, and roll out a successful implementation for all users.
Which component is a key process of the Lean Governance Framework?

A. Executive buy-m

B. Software Development Lifecycle

C. End user management

D. Power user feedback

B.   Software Development Lifecycle

Explanation:
A Lean Governance Framework for a Salesforce implementation focuses on agile, iterative processes that ensure the system evolves in a controlled, compliant, and user-centric manner. It's not just about roles and feedback; it's about the structured process for developing, deploying, and maintaining the system. The Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) is the core operational process within such a framework, defining how changes are requested, built, tested, and released.

Correct Option:

B. Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
The SDLC is a fundamental process within a Lean Governance Framework. It provides the structured methodology for managing change—from requirement gathering and development to testing, deployment, and post-launch review. This process directly ensures compliance (through testing and controls), risk assessment (via impact analysis), and successful rollout (through user acceptance testing and training).

Incorrect Options:

A. Executive buy-in
While executive sponsorship is critical for governance success, it is an enabler or input, not a process within the framework itself. The Lean Governance Framework would include processes for securing and maintaining buy-in, but "buy-in" itself is not the process.

C. End user management
Managing end users (onboarding, training, support) is an important operational activity, but it is typically an outcome of processes defined within the governance framework (like change management). It is not the core governance process itself.

D. Power user feedback
Feedback loops (including from power users) are essential for continuous improvement and are part of the SDLC's planning and review phases. However, "feedback" alone is not a standalone process; it is integrated into the broader SDLC and change management processes.

Reference:
Salesforce's Governance & Implementation Methodology guides, which emphasize establishing a lightweight, agile SDLC as a core process within a governance model. This ensures changes are delivered quickly but safely, managing risk and ensuring user adoption in a dynamic environment.

A nonprofit has a large volume of data across multiple objects in Salesforce and external databases. The nonprofit needs to quickly query data across its systems to get insights on any device about the impact it is having.
Which solution should the consultant recommend?

A. Salesforce Connect

B. Salesforce Reports & Dashboards

C. External Objects

D. CRM Analytics

D.   CRM Analytics

Explanation:
The requirement involves large volumes of data across multiple objects and external databases, needing fast, cross-system queries for insights on any device. This points to a need for advanced analytics, data warehousing, and interactive visualizations that can handle complex joins, large datasets, and real-time exploration. Standard Salesforce reports struggle with very large data volumes and external data sources.

Correct Option:

D. CRM Analytics (formerly Tableau CRM, formerly Einstein Analytics)
CRM Analytics is Salesforce's advanced analytics platform built for this exact scenario. It can ingest and blend large datasets from multiple Salesforce objects and external databases into a centralized data warehouse (dataflow). It enables fast, interactive queries and dashboards that are accessible on any device, providing deep insights into impact metrics.

Incorrect Options:

A. Salesforce Connect
Salesforce Connect provides real-time read-only access to external data without copying it into Salesforce. While it allows querying external data, it is not optimized for "quickly querying large volumes" or performing complex analytical joins across multiple objects. It's for transactional access, not analytics.

B. Salesforce Reports & Dashboards
Native Reports & Dashboards are powerful but have strict limits on data volumes and complexity (e.g., no joins across unrelated objects, row limits). They cannot natively query external databases and would perform poorly with "large volume of data across multiple objects."

C. External Objects
External Objects (used with Salesforce Connect) are for accessing external data in a tabular format within Salesforce. Like option A, they are for transactional lookups, not for analytical queries across large, blended datasets. They do not provide the analytical processing power or dashboarding needed for impact insights

Reference:
CRM Analytics product documentation. It is designed for large-scale data analytics, blending data from multiple sources (Salesforce and external), and delivering interactive dashboards and insights on any device—exactly matching the nonprofit's need for impact analysis.
