Salesforce Sharing and Visibility Certification Practice Exam

Which is a risk of having an account related to more than 10,000 child records?

1. Data redundancy issues

2. Record visibility performance issues

3. Complexity in report generation

4. Higher system consumption costs

The correct answer is: Record visibility performance issues

Having an account related to more than 10,000 child records can lead to record visibility performance issues due to the sheer volume of data that needs to be processed and displayed. When a single account is related to a large number of child records, retrieving and rendering this information in the user interface can slow down performance. This may result in longer load times and degrade the overall experience for users accessing or reporting on this data. As the system works to manage and display records, the complexity increases, which can further exacerbate visibility and accessibility issues. While other options touch on important aspects of data management, they do not directly address the immediate performance impacts that can stem from handling such a high volume of related child records. Data redundancy may arise but is not an inherent risk tied specifically to the number of child records in relation to an account. Similarly, while generating reports may become more complex as data volume increases, the primary concern remains centered on performance and how manageable visibility is impacted directly as records are fetched and displayed. Higher system consumption costs could potentially relate to increased resource usage, but record visibility performance issues would be more immediate and noticeable to users interacting with the system.
