- 100
- 250,000 (Correct answer)
- 10,000
- No limit
Correct answer: 250,000
Salesforce allows up to 250,000 queued interviews per org for scheduled flows, subject to overall governor limits.
Question 2: Which report feature lets users subscribe to get updated report results emailed on a recurring schedule?
- Report Export
- Report Snapshot
- Report Subscription (Correct answer)

Report Subscriptions allow users to receive emailed report results automatically on a chosen schedule such as daily or weekly.
Question 3: In Salesforce, an Approval Process is best used when:
- A record needs to be automatically deleted after a set time
- A record requires human review and approval before status changes (Correct answer)
- A dashboard needs to refresh on a schedule
- An email needs to be sent when a field changes
Correct answer: A record requires human review and approval before status changes
Approval Processes route records to designated approvers and lock certain fields until the record is approved or rejected.
Question 4: Which element in Flow Builder is used to iterate over a collection of records and perform an action on each one?
- Decision
- Assignment
- Loop (Correct answer)
- Subflow
Correct answer: Loop
The Loop element iterates through each item in a collection variable, allowing actions to be performed on each record.
Question 5: A Salesforce dashboard chart is showing stale data. Which action will immediately refresh the dashboard data?
- Log out and log back in
- Click the Refresh button on the dashboard (Correct answer)
- Re-run the underlying report manually
- Edit and save the dashboard
Correct answer: Click the Refresh button on the dashboard
Clicking the Refresh button on a dashboard forces an immediate refresh of all component data from the underlying reports.
Question 6: What is a 'Report Snapshot' in Salesforce?
- A PDF export of a report
- A scheduled job that captures report data and saves it as custom object records (Correct answer)
- A screenshot of a dashboard
- A saved filter set for a report
Correct answer: A scheduled job that captures report data and saves it as custom object records
Report Snapshots run a report on a schedule and store the results as records in a custom object, enabling historical trend analysis.
Question 7: Which Flow Builder best practice helps avoid hitting governor limits when updating many records?
- Use one Flow per record
- Perform DML operations outside loops using collections (Correct answer)
- Use Workflow Rules instead
- Run Flows in System Mode
Correct answer: Perform DML operations outside loops using collections
Collecting records in a variable inside a loop and performing a single bulk DML outside the loop prevents hitting the 150 DML statement limit.
