Cumulus Bank wants to use Interactions to capture conversations that investment bankers have with their clients. Due to the sensitive nature of the interactions, the bank needs to carefully limit access to the detailed notes for certain groups. Basic information about attendees and meeting dates is not sensitive. Which three options should a consultant recommend?


A. Enable Compliant Data Sharing for Interactions.


B. Enable Compliant Data Sharing for Interaction Summaries.


C. Disable Role-Hierarchy-Based Sharing for Engagement Interactions.


D. Use Interaction Summary Participants to provide the right access to individuals or groups.


E. Disable Role-Hierarchy-Based Sharing for Interaction Summaries.





B.
  Enable Compliant Data Sharing for Interaction Summaries.

D.
  Use Interaction Summary Participants to provide the right access to individuals or groups.

E.
  Disable Role-Hierarchy-Based Sharing for Interaction Summaries.

Explanation:

Why these three
The bank wants tight control over the sensitive “detailed notes”, while attendees and meeting dates aren’t sensitive. In FSC, the sensitive narrative/notes are typically captured in Interaction Summaries, and Salesforce provides Compliant Data Sharing (CDS) + Participants to control who can see those summaries.

✅ B. Enable Compliant Data Sharing for Interaction Summaries
Why: CDS lets you control access to Interaction Summaries more granularly (beyond standard sharing), which is exactly what you need when notes are sensitive.

✅ D. Use Interaction Summary Participants to provide the right access to individuals or groups
Why: With CDS, access is granted via Participants (users or groups) on the Interaction Summary, so only cleared individuals/groups can view the sensitive content.

✅ E. Disable Role-Hierarchy-Based Sharing for Interaction Summaries
Why: If role-hierarchy sharing stays enabled, supervisors could inherit access automatically—exactly what the bank wants to avoid. Disabling role-hierarchy-based sharing prevents that “automatic visibility” for Interaction Summaries.

Why the other options are not selected

A. Enable Compliant Data Sharing for Interactions — Not required here
The prompt says basic attendee/date info isn’t sensitive, so you don’t need to lock down Interactions themselves with CDS—only the Interaction Summaries that contain detailed notes. (You could enable it, but it’s not necessary to meet the stated requirement.)

C. Disable Role-Hierarchy-Based Sharing for Engagement Interactions — Not needed
Same reason as A: the bank is okay with basic Interaction info being broadly visible, so there’s no requirement to restrict Interaction access via role hierarchy.

Lake Tahoe Bank is migrating customer records from the Individual Model to Person Accounts. Which three steps should a Data Architect take to ensure a successful migration?


A. Ensure Person Accounts is enabled on the org


B. Configure your Person Account record types m the Indrvidual Record Type Mapper.


C. Enable 'Individual to Person Account Migration' in Custom Settings.


D. Use a CSV field to map PersonRecordTypeld to the Person Account RecoroTypeld and use Data Loader to update Client Records


E. Log a case with Salesforce to perform the conversion from the indrvkJual Model to Person Accounts.





A.
  Ensure Person Accounts is enabled on the org

B.
  Configure your Person Account record types m the Indrvidual Record Type Mapper.

D.
  Use a CSV field to map PersonRecordTypeld to the Person Account RecoroTypeld and use Data Loader to update Client Records

Explanation:

Step A: Enable Person Accounts
Why it's necessary: Person Accounts are not enabled by default in all Salesforce environments. Because enabling them is an irreversible action and requires a specific organizational configuration (including setting the Organization-Wide Default for Contacts to "Controlled by Parent"), this is the foundational first step. You must verify that the PersonAccount object is available in the Object Manager.

Step B: Individual Record Type Mapper
Why it's necessary: Financial Services Cloud uses Custom Metadata Types to understand how to treat different record types. The Individual Record Type Mapper tells the FSC managed package code which Account record types should behave like "Individuals" (Person Accounts). Without this mapping, FSC features like the Relationship Map and Rollups may not function correctly for the newly converted records.

Step D: Data Migration via Data Loader
Why it's necessary: Converting existing "Individual" data (Account + Contact) into Person Accounts is essentially a data update. By assigning a Person Account Record Type ID to the RecordTypeId field on the Account record, Salesforce automatically triggers the conversion process for that record. Data Loader is the standard tool used to perform this bulk update using a CSV file containing the Account IDs and the target Person Account Record Type ID.

Analysis of Incorrect Answers

Option [C]: Enable 'Individual to Person Account Migration' in Custom Settings
Why it's incorrect: There is no such specific "Individual to Person Account Migration" toggle in FSC Custom Settings. While FSC has many settings in the Industries Application Config, the migration itself is a platform-level data operation (changing Record Types) rather than a simple checkbox switch.

Option [E]: Log a case with Salesforce to perform the conversion...
Why it's incorrect: While you must log a case to enable the Person Account feature in some older orgs, Salesforce Support does not perform the actual data migration/conversion for you. This is a task for the customer's Data Architect or Administrator to execute using tools like Data Loader.

A retail bank is using Financial Services Cloud to support its operations. The bank has received complaints that its clients' documentation is often submitted late and when clients call, customer service agents are struggling with multiple systems to determine where the documentation is. Which solution should a consultant suggest the client explore?


A. A Marketing Cloud integration to manage client communications


B. An APEX solution to leverage the SendMail capabilities of Salesforce


C. Process Builder to create automatl&Socument requests for missing items


D. The Send Documents flow for Retail Banking





D.
  The Send Documents flow for Retail Banking

Explanation:

As of January 2026, Salesforce FSC continues to emphasize its out-of-the-box (OOTB) industry flows to solve common operational bottlenecks in banking.

Why D is correct: The Send Documents flow for Retail Banking is a prebuilt, templated flow designed specifically to streamline the document collection process. It allows agents to initiate document requests directly from within Salesforce, often integrating with e-signature tools (like DocuSign). Because the request and its status are tracked directly in FSC, customer service agents gain a single, consolidated view of what has been sent, what is pending, and what has been received—eliminating the need to check "multiple systems".

Why others are incorrect:
A: While Marketing Cloud can automate communication, it is an external platform that doesn't inherently solve the problem of agents lacking a unified view of document status within the core FSC service console.
B: Apex is a custom code solution. Salesforce's best practice is to always use declarative tools (like prebuilt Flows) before resorting to custom code.
C: Process Builder is a retired tool that has been superseded by Salesforce Flow. Modern solutions should not be built on Process Builder.

The Actionable Relationship Center (ARC) is using the Association Type picklist to control the account-account relationships. Which three of the following names are Association Type picklist field values?


A. Member


B. Group


C. Trust


D. Family


E. Peer





A.
  Member

C.
  Trust

E.
  Peer

Explanation:

In Salesforce Financial Services Cloud (FSC), the Actionable Relationship Center (ARC) uses the Association Type picklist field (on the Account-Account Relationship object) to categorize and control how account-account relationships are displayed in the relationship graph.
The standard Association Type picklist values that control specific visualizations and behaviors in ARC include:

A. Member – Used for group membership relationships (e.g., an individual or entity that is a member of a household, trust, or business group).
C. Trust – Explicitly defines a trust entity and its relationships (e.g., grantor, trustee, beneficiary) in wealth and estate planning scenarios.
E. Peer – Used for horizontal/sibling relationships (e.g., business partners, co-owners, or affiliated entities at the same level).

These values trigger specific node types, icons, and connection styles in the ARC graph.

Why not B (Group)? There is no standard "Group" value in the Association Type picklist. Group concepts are handled via Member relationships and group record types.
Why not D (Family)? "Family" is not a standard Association Type value. Family relationships are typically modeled using household groups and Member associations.

A bank needs help with many of its processes taking too long to complete. Many of its challenges are due to issues with handoffs between teams. The challenges also include users transferring control to the wrong person or team or forgetting to transfer it at all. Which two Financial Services Cloud capabilities should help address these challenges?


A. Action Plans


B. Financial Accounts


C. Omni Scripts


D. Roll-up Summaries





A.
  Action Plans

C.
  Omni Scripts

Explanation:

The core challenges described are process delays, poor handoffs between teams, and incorrect or missing ownership transfers. These are process automation and guided workflow issues, which FSC addresses with specific capabilities.

A. Action Plans: Correct. Action Plans standardize multi‑step processes by creating predefined task sequences with assigned owners and deadlines. This ensures handoffs happen to the right people at the right time and nothing is forgotten.

B. Financial Accounts: Incorrect. Financial Accounts are core data objects for holding client financial data, but they do not automate process handoffs or solve workflow handoff issues.

C. OmniScripts: Correct. OmniScripts provide guided, step‑by‑step interfaces that can route work to specific users or teams based on business rules. They can enforce correct handoffs, collect necessary data at each step, and ensure processes are completed in the right order by the right people.

D. Roll‑up Summaries: Incorrect. Roll‑up Summaries (like Rollup‑by‑Lookup) aggregate data for reporting but do not manage process handoffs or workflow automation.

References:
Salesforce Help: “Automate Processes with Action Plans” – explains how Action Plans assign tasks and deadlines to streamline handoffs.
OmniStudio Documentation: “Build Guided Processes with OmniScripts” – describes how OmniScripts route work between teams and enforce business rules.
FSC Implementation Guide: “Improve Operational Efficiency” – highlights Action Plans and OmniScripts for reducing process delays and improving handoff accuracy.

Key Concept:
For process handoff and workflow challenges, FSC offers:

Action Plans – for task‑based process standardization with clear ownership and timelines.
OmniScripts – for guided, dynamic workflows that route cases, applications, or requests to the correct team based on inputs or rules.

Together, they reduce manual errors, ensure accountability, and accelerate process completion.

The Salesforce Admin at Lake Tahoe Bank is implementing Financial Services Cloud and wants to roll up customer data at the client and group levels. What functionality can Rollup By Lookup (RBL) provide for this requirement?


A. RBL calculations can not be disabled when importing data into your Salesforce org.


B. An RBL rule displays summary calculations of financial account information, such as account balances.


C. When you edit a financial account record or primary Group membership, the Rollup By Lookup (RBL) configuration updates the corresponding RBL summaries at the client and Group levels.


D. Rollups for multiple joint owners are not supported


E. Rollup By Lookup (RBL) displays associated records for Financial Accounts. Financial Goals, and Opportunities.





C.
  When you edit a financial account record or primary Group membership, the Rollup By Lookup (RBL) configuration updates the corresponding RBL summaries at the client and Group levels.

Explanation:

The core requirement is to roll up customer data at the client and group levels. Rollup by Lookup (RBL) is the specific Financial Services Cloud tool designed to meet this exact need.

Why C is Correct:
Automatic Updates: RBL performs real-time (or near real-time) summary calculations. When the source data (like a Financial Account balance) changes, or when a client's primary group membership changes, RBL automatically recalculates and updates the roll-up fields on the related Client (Person Account) and Group records. This ensures data is always current without manual intervention.

Client and Group Level: This directly addresses the admin's requirement to roll up data at both the individual client and the household/group level. RBL is configured to write summary data to fields on both of these objects.

Primary Group Context: A key feature of FSC's RBL is its intelligence regarding group membership. It can roll up data from a client's financial accounts to their primary group, allowing for accurate household-level wealth and asset summaries.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:
A. RBL calculations can not be disabled when importing data into your Salesforce org.
Incorrect. A major best practice for large data imports is to temporarily disable RBL rules to prevent performance issues and validation errors during the load process. They can be easily enabled again after the import.

B. An RBL rule displays summary calculations of financial account information, such as account balances.
This is partially true but incomplete/misleading. While RBL does perform these calculations, the key functionality is not just "displaying" them. Its primary function is to write and store those calculated summaries into fields on the Client and Group records (as stated in option C). Option B describes the what, but option C correctly describes the how and where.

D. Rollups for multiple joint owners are not supported.
Incorrect. This is a critical feature of FSC's RBL. It is explicitly designed to handle pro-rata allocation for joint financial accounts. The system can correctly split the value of an account (e.g., a 50/50 joint checking account) and roll up the appropriate portions to each individual client's record and their respective groups.

E. Rollup By Lookup (RBL) displays associated records for Financial Accounts, Financial Goals, and Opportunities.
Incorrect. This describes a related list, not a rollup. RBL does not "display associated records"; it performs mathematical calculations (SUM, AVG, COUNT, etc.) on the data within those records and stores the result in a number/currency field.

Key References & Concepts:
Primary Object: The process starts with a Rollup Summary Definition (e.g., "Total Household Assets"), which defines the calculation.

Mechanics: It uses a Lookup Relationship from the source object (e.g., Financial Account) to the target object (Client or Group) to perform the calculation and write the result to a field on the target record.

Use Case: Enables Advisors to instantly see key metrics like Total Assets Under Management (AUM) or Total Household Balance directly on the Client and Group record pages, which is fundamental to the 360-degree client view in FSC.

Documentation: The Salesforce Help article "Set Up Rollup by Lookup" covers the configuration and pro-rata allocation logic in detail.

What does the Salesforce Admin have to install to provide users access to referral dashboards and reports?


A. The managed extension package for intelligent Need-Based Referrals and Scoring


B. Einstein Analytics for Financial Services


C. The unmanaged extension package for Intelligent Need-Based Referrals and Scoring


D. Salesforce CRM Dashboards





C.
  The unmanaged extension package for Intelligent Need-Based Referrals and Scoring

Explanation:

Why C is correct
In Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, the Referral Dashboards and Reports are not available by default when FSC is installed. To expose these prebuilt dashboards and reports, the Salesforce Admin must install the unmanaged extension package for Intelligent Need-Based Referrals and Scoring.

This extension package delivers:
- Preconfigured Referral dashboards
- Prebuilt Referral reports
- Supporting metadata used by the Intelligent Need-Based Referrals and Scoring feature

Without this unmanaged extension, users will not see the referral analytics even if referrals themselves are enabled.

Why the other options are incorrect
A. Managed extension package ❌
Salesforce explicitly provides the referral dashboards and reports through an unmanaged extension package so admins can customize reports and dashboards. A managed package would restrict customization.

B. Einstein Analytics for Financial Services ❌
Einstein Analytics (now Tableau CRM) is optional and used for advanced analytics. It is not required to access the standard referral dashboards and reports.

D. Salesforce CRM Dashboards ❌
Salesforce CRM Dashboards are a platform feature, but they do not include FSC referral dashboards unless the referral extension package is installed.

The Salesforce Admin wants to make it easier for call center agents to complete some common tasks by setting up flows and launch them from the Retail Banking Console. What does the Admin have to keep in mind when setting up Flows?


A. Flows can be used to provide step-by-step guidance for address changes, without the need for then agent to navigate to different screens.


B. To open. edit, or create a Flow in Flow Builder, the user needs the Run Flows permission.


C. To use Financial Services Cloud Flows, you'll need the Financial Services Managed Package installed m the org and the Financial Services Cloud a permission set assigned to the user.


D. To use a Flow, a user must have access to the underlying object and its field





A.
  Flows can be used to provide step-by-step guidance for address changes, without the need for then agent to navigate to different screens.

D.
  To use a Flow, a user must have access to the underlying object and its field

Explanation

Why A is correct
Screen Flows can be designed to give agents step-by-step guidance (wizard-style), so they can complete tasks like address changes in a guided experience without jumping across multiple screens. This is a common reason to embed or launch flows from a console app.

Why D is correct
When a Flow creates, updates, or reads records, Salesforce permissions still matter (especially for Screen Flows, which commonly run in user context). If the user doesn’t have object permissions or field-level access for what the flow is trying to do, the flow can fail or be unable to complete actions.

Why the other options are incorrect
B ❌
To open, edit, or create a Flow in Flow Builder, the required permission is Manage Flow — not Run Flows. Run Flows is for executing active flows, not building them.

C ❌
This mixes concepts. Installing the FSC managed package and assigning FSC permission sets may be required for FSC features, but using Flows in general is governed by Flow permissions and underlying object/field access. The question asks what to keep in mind when setting up flows for console agents, and the key constraint is permissions to run the flow plus permissions for objects and fields the flow touches, not an FSC managed package requirement.

A wealth management firm is looking to start tracking its clients' hobbies for marketing purposes in Salesforce. Which Financial Services Cloud feature is most suitable for this?


A. Interest Tags


B. Alerts


C. Topics


D. Engagement Topics





A.
  Interest Tags

Explanation:

Interest Tags in Financial Services Cloud is the feature specifically designed to capture and track client preferences, needs, interests, and hobbies directly on client records (such as Person Accounts or Contacts). This allows wealth managers to tag items like "golfing," "skiing," or other hobbies, organize them into categories, and use them for personalized marketing, segmentation, reporting, and targeted engagement opportunities. The Interest Tags component can be added to record pages for easy assignment and viewing, making it ideal for marketing purposes such as tailoring campaigns based on client hobbies.

Why not the others?
B ❌ Alerts
Alerts are used for notifications about changes (for example, transaction alerts or compliance reminders), not for tracking ongoing interests like hobbies.

C ❌ Topics
Topics is a standard Salesforce feature for enabling entity tagging in general (for example, on Chatter or Knowledge), but Financial Services Cloud Interest Tags build on this capability with industry-specific enhancements for capturing and managing client interests.

D ❌ Engagement Topics
Engagement Topics relate to categorizing or summarizing topics discussed in client interactions (such as via Interaction Summaries or Agentforce skills). They are not designed for persistently tracking personal hobbies or interests for marketing and personalization purposes.

Which of the following statements are correct when creating Financial Goals?


A. Users can only create savings oriented goals.


B. Users require the Financial Goals permission set to works with Financial Goals


C. Users can associate a goal with a specific Financial Account.


D. Users can create goals for paying down debt





C.
  Users can associate a goal with a specific Financial Account.

D.
  Users can create goals for paying down debt

Explanation:

C. Users can associate a goal with a specific Financial Account
Why it’s correct: Financial Goals in Financial Services Cloud can be linked to specific Financial Accounts such as savings, investment, or loan accounts. This association allows advisors to track progress dynamically as balances change.
Example: A retirement savings goal can be tied to a retirement account, ensuring contributions directly update the goal’s progress.
Exam insight: This demonstrates Financial Services Cloud’s ability to connect goals to real financial data, making them actionable.

D. Users can create goals for paying down debt
Why it’s correct: Financial Services Cloud supports multiple goal types, not just savings. Debt reduction goals are explicitly supported, allowing advisors to help clients manage liabilities alongside assets.
Example: A client may set a goal to pay off a $10,000 loan within 3 years. Financial Services Cloud tracks repayment progress as payments are made.
Exam insight: This highlights Financial Services Cloud’s holistic approach to financial wellness by covering both asset accumulation and liability reduction.

❌ Incorrect Answers

A. Users can only create savings oriented goals
Why it’s incorrect: Financial Services Cloud supports diverse goal types, including debt reduction, investment targets, and education funding. Limiting goals to savings contradicts the platform’s design.

Exam trap: Many candidates assume “Financial Goals = Savings only.” The exam tests whether you know Financial Services Cloud is broader.

B. Users require the Financial Goals permission set to work with Financial Goals
Why it’s incorrect: There is no dedicated “Financial Goals permission set.” Access is controlled through the Financial Services Cloud managed package permissions and standard Salesforce object-level security.

Exam trap: The wording suggests a special permission set exists, but it doesn’t. The correct requirement is object and field-level access.

Salesforce Help — Financial Goals in Financial Services Cloud
Financial Services Cloud AP-208 Exam Guide — Client Engagement and Financial Goals section

✅ Summary:
The correct answers are C and D. Financial Services Cloud allows goals to be associated with financial accounts and supports debt reduction goals. Options A and B are exam traps and are both incorrect.

Which two statements are true about Group Membership in Financial Services Cloud?


A. Group Membership defines the role of the member within the Group.


B. With Group Membership settings you can define if a Group is the member's primary Group.


C. With Group Membership settings you can define who is the primary and who is the secondary member within the Group.


D. Group Membership is modeled using the Account-Group Relationship object.





A.
  Group Membership defines the role of the member within the Group.

B.
  With Group Membership settings you can define if a Group is the member's primary Group.

Explanation:

In Financial Services Cloud, the Group Membership logic is fundamental to how householding works. It allows the system to understand how an individual relates to one or more groups, such as a Family, a Trust, or a Business.

Defining Roles (Statement A)
When you add a member to a group, you assign them a Role (for example, Household Head, Spouse, Dependent, or Trustee). This is crucial for reporting and for the Actionable Relationship Center to display the hierarchy and influence within the group accurately.

Primary Group Designation (Statement B)
Financial Services Cloud allows a person to be a member of multiple groups (for example, their own household and their parents' household). However, a person can have only one Primary Group. The Primary Group toggle tells the system which household should receive Rollup By Lookup data for that individual’s financial accounts, tasks, and goals.

Analysis of Incorrect Answers

C. With Group Membership settings you can define who is the primary and who is the secondary member within the Group
Incorrect. While you can designate a Primary Member as the main point of contact for the household, there is no standard concept of a secondary member setting within the Group Membership interface. Members are defined by their specific roles (such as Spouse or Child) rather than a primary or secondary ranking system.

D. Group Membership is modeled using the Account-Group Relationship object
Incorrect. Group Membership for individuals using Person Accounts is modeled with the Account-Contact Relationship object. For business-to-business or group-to-group connections, Financial Services Cloud uses the Account-Account Relationship object. There is no standard object called Account-Group Relationship used for this membership function in the core Financial Services Cloud data model.

The Salesforce Administrator at Lake Tahoe Bank is asked at make modifications to the Salesforce org to allow for more than one people being joint owners on a Financial Account. What will be the recommended approach to model this requirement?


A. Map the primary owner and one joint owner to the Financial Account, because FSC, supports only two joint account owners.


B. Map additional owners using the Financial Account Role.


C. Map additional owners using the Actionable Relationship Center.


D. Create lookup fields on the Financial Account object to support additional owners





B.
  Map additional owners using the Financial Account Role.

Explanation:

Why B is correct
In Financial Services Cloud, ownership and involvement in a Financial Account (for example, joint owner, beneficiary, or trustee) is modeled using Financial Account Roles. To support more than one joint owner, the recommended approach is to create additional Financial Account Role records, one per additional owner, and set the role appropriately (such as Joint Owner). This approach scales cleanly for any number of owners and aligns with Financial Services Cloud’s standard data model instead of customizing the Financial Account object with extra lookup fields.

Why the other options are incorrect

A ❌
This approach is incorrect because Financial Services Cloud is not intended to be hard-limited to only two owners in the way described. Even if the user interface highlights a Primary Owner and Joint Owner, the scalable and standard way to represent multiple involved parties is through Financial Account Roles rather than a fixed primary-plus-one pattern.

C ❌
The Actionable Relationship Center is primarily used for visualizing and navigating relationships, not for modeling account ownership. It does not replace the underlying data model objects used to store ownership and involvement relationships.

D ❌
Creating multiple lookup fields on the Financial Account for Owner 2, Owner 3, Owner 4, and so on is not recommended. This approach does not scale, complicates reporting and security, and deviates from Financial Services Cloud’s intended role-based relationship modeling using related records.
