The following steps are required to migrate customer records from the Individual Model to Person Accounts in Financial Services Cloud:

• Ensure Person Accounts is enabled on the org. You need to have Person Accounts enabled before you can convert Individual Model records to Person Accounts. You can enable Person Accounts by contacting Salesforce Support or by using the Enable Person Accounts option in Setup > Account Settings.
• Configure your Person Account record types in the Individual Record Type Mapper. You need to map your existing Individual Model record types to the corresponding Person Account record types. You can do this by using the Individual Record Type Mapper option in Setup > Financial Services Settings.
• Use a CSV file to map PersonRecordTypeId to the Person Account RecordTypeId and use Data Loader to update Client Records. You need to update the Client records with the correct PersonRecordTypeId value that matches the Person Account RecordTypeId value. You can do this by using a CSV file and Data Loader to perform a bulk update operation. Verified References: : Salesforce Help Article 1 : Salesforce Help Article 2 : Salesforce Help Article 3

A screen flow is a type of flow that guides users through a series of screens to complete a task or collect information2. Screen flows can also interact with external systems using Apex actions or invocable actions3. In this case, the consultant can create a screen flow that collects the caller’s name and social security number from the agent, and then invokes an Apex action or an invocable action that makes a web service call to an external authentication service.

The Financial Services Cloud feature that is most suitable for tracking clients’ hobbies for marketing purposes is Interest Tags. Interest Tags are features that allow users to add tags to contacts or individuals based on their interests or preferences. Users can create custom interest tags or use predefined ones from FSC. By using Interest Tags, the wealth management firm can capture its clients’ hobbies and use them for marketing segmentation or personalization.

The following statements are correct about the Actionable Relationship Center Manager (ARC):

• To enable users to see the ARC, you will need to add the component for ARC to the page layout. The ARC is a Lightning component that can be added to any Lightning page that supports components, such as record pages, app pages, or Home pages. You can use the Lightning App Builder to drag and drop the ARC component to the desired location on the page layout.
• ARC displays up to 5 related lists that have a configured compact layout. The ARC shows a graphical representation of the account-account relationships for a selected record, as well as related lists of other records that are associated with the account, such as contacts, financial accounts, or opportunities. The ARC can display up to 5 related lists at a time, and each related list must have a compact layout configured to show relevant fields.
• The Association Type picklist controls the account-account relationship that display in the ARC. The Association Type picklist is a field on the Account Relationship object that defines the type of relationship between two accounts, such as Household Member, Business Owner, Trustee, or Friend. The ARC uses this field to filter and display the account-account relationships for a selected record. You can customize this picklist to add or remove values according to your business needs.

The consultant should design the FlexCards as follows to meet the requirements:

• Parent FlexCard with multiple Child Flex Cards and Card Actions. A Parent FlexCard is a construct in Financial Services Cloud that allows you to display information from one record in a card-like format on a Lightning page. A Child FlexCard is a construct in Financial Services Cloud that allows you to display information from related records in a card-like format within a Parent FlexCard. A Card Action is a construct in Financial Services Cloud that allows you to perform actions on a record from within a FlexCard, such as edit, delete, renew, or view details. You can use Parent FlexCards, Child FlexCards, and Card Actions to create an agent console that provides a 360-degree view of your customers and enables quick actions on their records.

The order of uploading Salesforce objects during an FSC data migration is important to ensure data integrity and avoid errors. The recommended order is:

• Accounts and contacts: These are the core objects that store the basic information about the customers and their relationships. They should be uploaded first to establish the foundation for the FSC data model4.
• Financial accounts: These are the custom objects that store the financial information about the customers, such as balances, interest rates, fees, and transactions. They should be uploaded after the accounts and contacts, and linked to them using lookup fields5.
• Account groups and households: These are the custom objects that group the accounts and contacts based on common attributes or relationships, such as family members or business partners. They should be uploaded after the financial accounts, and linked to them using junction objects6.

To help onboarding new customers, the consultant should recommend using Action Plan and Action Plan Template. Action Plan is a feature in Financial Services Cloud that allows you to automate and standardize common business processes or service requests, such as customer onboarding, account opening, or loan origination. You can use Action Plan to create templates that define the tasks, owners, and deadlines for each process or request. You can also use Action Plan to enforce task dependencies and completion criteria, so that bankers cannot skip or miss any tasks or move to the next stage of the onboarding process without meeting the requirements.

To configure a custom field for reporting when relating two business accounts to each other, the administrator should configure the custom field on the Account-Account Relationship object. The Account-Account Relationship object is a custom object in Financial Services Cloud that allows you to create and manage relationships between two accounts, such as Household Member, Business Owner, Trustee, or Friend. You can use the Account-Account Relationship object to store additional information about the relationship between two accounts, such as role, start date, end date, or status. You can also use the Account-Account Relationship object to report on the account-account relationships and analyze their impact on your business. Verified References: : Salesforce Help Article [4] : Salesforce Help Article [5]

To enable Multiple Relationship Groups, which is a feature that allows users to add individuals to more than one group or household, the Admin needs to use Custom Settings. Custom Settings are similar to custom objects and enable application developers to create custom sets of data, as well as create and associate custom data for an organization, profile, or specific user. The Admin can use Custom Settings to enable Multiple Relationship Groups by following these steps:

• From Setup, enter Custom Settings in the Quick Find box, then select Custom Settings.
• Click Manage next to Group Member Record Type Mapper.
• Click Edit next to Default Organization Level Value.
• In Multiple Relationship Groups Enabled, select True.
• Click Save.

To display the most important fields on the side panel of ARC, the Admin must configure the Compact Layout for each object. The Compact Layout is a layout that determines which fields appear in key places in Salesforce such as record highlights areas, list views, lookup dialogs, and global search results. The Admin can use the Compact Layout to select up to 10 fields that are most relevant for each object and display them on the side panel of ARC

As part of the preparation for the data migration process, the administrator should run a daily backup data export for a week, then continue to run this job weekly until they are ready for data migration. This is a best practice for data migration in Salesforce that allows the administrator to identify the data they want to migrate, create templates for the data, prepare the destination org, and validate the data2. By running a daily backup data export for a week, the administrator can capture any changes or updates in the data and compare them with previous exports. By continuing to run this job weekly until they are ready for data migration, the administrator can ensure that they have the most recent and accurate data to migrate into Financial Services Cloud. Verified References: 2

The order that the consultant should follow when performing the data migrations is Individuals, then Financial Accounts, then Financial Account Roles, then Financial Account Transactions. This order ensures that the data dependencies and relationships are maintained and that the data integrity and quality are preserved. By migrating Individuals first, the consultant can create the records that represent the customers of the bank. By migrating Financial Accounts next, the consultant can create the records that represent the financial products or services that the customers own or use. By migrating Financial Account Roles next, the consultant can create the records that link the individuals to the financial accounts and define their roles or relationships with those accounts. By migrating Financial Account Transactions last, the consultant can create the records that represent the transactions or activities that occur on the financial accounts. 

The best way for the Admin to access a Financial Services Cloud pre-configured org, including data and the right licenses, to learn about the product is to request a 30-day Financial Services Cloud trial org. You can sign up for the 30-day trial using this form 4. You get preconfigured and preloaded sample data so you can start playing around in your new org right away. Once you’re done testing it out, you can transition your trial org to a production org with the help of your account executive or solution engineer. Verified References: : Trailhead Module 5

To ensure the data is loading into the correct fields in Financial Services Cloud, the consultant should utilize a field mapping file with the external system allocation and the corresponding field in Salesforce. A field mapping file is a file that specifies how fields from an external system map to fields in Salesforce. By using a field mapping file, the consultant can ensure that the data from the new custom object is imported into the correct fields in Financial Services Cloud and avoid any data loss or inconsistency.

As explained in the previous question, Action Plans are a feature that can help users track and manage common client processes. By creating an Action Plan Template with associated pre-determined Tasks, such as reviewing credit & debit card usage, reviewing account payables, and discussing credit needs, users can ensure that these activities are tracked and followed up on in a timely manner. Users can also automate the periodical creation of Action Plans for customer accounts using Process Builder or Apex triggers. 

The administrator did not assign the Mortgage permission set to the user. The Mortgage permission set is required to access the Residential Loan Application object and its related objects, such as Loan Application Form, Loan Assessment, and Loan Product. Without this permission set, the user cannot create, edit, or view residential loan application records. The administrator can assign the Mortgage permission set to the user from the user detail page in Setup. References: [Mortgage Permission Set], [Residential Loan Application Object]

Financial accounts management is a Salesforce Financial Services Cloud feature that enables financial advisors to track and manage client accounts. A financial account is any account managed by a financial institution, such as a bank, an insurance company, or an investment firm. Financial Services Cloud supports many kinds of financial accounts, such as checking accounts, savings accounts, mortgages, credit cards, investment accounts, insurance policies, and more3. Financial advisors can use Financial Services Cloud to view, create, update, and delete financial accounts for their clients, as well as link them to other objects, such as households, goals, referrals, or opportunities4.

The following statements are true for the Financial Services Cloud Person Account Data Model:

• The Person Account is a virtual object displaying data from Accounts and Contacts objects. It represents all aspects of the person and includes data such as date of birth or tax ID number. You can use Person Accounts to store information about individual people by combining certain Account and Contact fields into a single record.
• The Person Account model uses the standard Account object to hold all of the details about a person. The Account object has been extended with custom fields and a Person Account Record Type. You can use Person Accounts to simplify your data model and reduce the number of records you need to manage.

When using Data Loader to insert new records into Salesforce, if the Account Owner field is not specified in the import file, the default owner will be the user who is logged into Data Loader. In this case, since the administrator is logged into Data Loader with their own credentials, they will be assigned as the owner of all the new Business Account records. This behavior is consistent with the standard Salesforce rule that every record must have an owner.

Interest Tags are a feature of Financial Services Cloud that let users add custom tags to client records to capture client needs, interests, and prospecting opportunities. Some of the things to consider when configuring a report to show Interest Tags are:

• When the user defines the custom report type, Topics should be selected as the Primary Object. Topics is the standard Salesforce object that stores the Interest Tags data4. The user can then add other objects as secondary objects, such as Accounts, Contacts, or Opportunities.
• To show Interest Tags applied to specific objects, the user can add a filter in the report and select the object name. For example, to show only Interest Tags related to Accounts, the user can add a filter for Entity Type equals Account5.

The following functions should be added to the Delegated Administrator group for its franchise users:

• Unlock users, which is a function that allows delegated administrators to unlock users who have been locked out due to incorrect login attempts or password expiration.
• Assign or remove permission sets for users in their delegated groups, which is a function that allows delegated administrators to grant or revoke additional permissions for users in their delegated groups by using permission sets.
• Create and manage membership of specified public groups, which is a function that allows delegated administrators to create public groups for sharing purposes and add or remove users from those groups. 

The following things must be kept in mind when creating Action Plan Templates:

• When creating Action Plan Templates with the UI, you can designate a plan owner different from the plan creator. The plan owner is the user who is responsible for executing the tasks in the Action Plan. The plan creator is the user who creates the Action Plan Template or the Action Plan from the template. You can assign a different plan owner for each Action Plan Template or Action Plan.
• An Action Plan is a run-time instance of the template that allows you to automate the sequence of the tasks you defined in the template. An Action Plan Template is a reusable blueprint that defines the tasks, owners, and deadlines for a common business process or service request. An Action Plan is a specific implementation of the template that applies to a particular target record, such as an account, contact, or opportunity.
• When you create an Action Plan from a template for a specific target record, item deadlines are calculated using the start date and date offset defined in the Action Plan Template. The start date is the date when you create the Action Plan from the template. The date offset is the number of days before or after the start date when each task is due. You can specify different date offsets for each task in the template. Verified References: : Salesforce Help Article 2 : Salesforce Help Article 3 : Salesforce Help Article 4

 A possible cause for why the portfolio manager cannot see ARC when trying to set up relationships between two accounts is that he has not been given the permissions that enable users to view and manage ARC. To access ARC, users need to have certain permissions and settings enabled in their user profile or permission set, such as:

• View Setup and Configuration
• Customize Application
• Manage Custom Permissions
• Financial Services Cloud Standard User
• Financial Services Cloud Admin If any of these permissions or settings are missing, users may not be able to see or use ARC properly. Verified References: : Salesforce Help Article 5
