Universal Containers has a public website with several forms that create Lead records in Salesforce using the REST API. When designing these forms, which two techniques will help maintain a high level of data quality?
A.
Do client-side validation of phone number and email field formats.
B.
Prefer picklist form fields over free text fields, where possible.
C.
Ensure the website visitor is browsing using an HTTPS connection.
D.
Use cookies to track when visitors submit multiple forms.
A.
Do client-side validation of phone number and email field formats.
B.
Prefer picklist form fields over free text fields, where possible.
Explanation:
A (Client-side validation): Proactively checks data accuracy at the point of entry, reducing invalid submissions (e.g., incorrectly formatted emails or phone numbers).
B (Picklist fields over free text): Standardized entries significantly enhance data consistency, accuracy, and reduce downstream data cleansing efforts.
Options C and D address security and user behavior tracking but not data accuracy directly. Effective data quality improvements hinge on structured inputs and immediate validations, which options A and B provide directly.
