A. B.

B.

Saving or creating records can trigger more than one rule.

The statement "Saving or creating records can trigger one rule" is not entirely accurate as it depends on the type of rule being referred to.

In Salesforce Lightning Experience, there are three types of automation rules that can be created:

  1. Validation rules: These rules run before a record is saved to ensure that the data entered meets specific criteria. If the criteria are not met, the record will not be saved, and the user will be prompted to correct the errors.

  2. Workflow rules: These rules automate standard internal procedures to save time across your organization. They can be triggered by a record being created or updated, and can perform actions such as sending email alerts or updating field values.

  3. Process Builder: This is a more advanced automation tool that allows you to create multi-step processes that update or create records based on certain conditions.

In the case of validation rules, the statement is true - creating or saving a record can trigger one validation rule. If the data entered does not meet the criteria specified in the validation rule, the record will not be saved.

For workflow rules and process builder, the statement is not entirely accurate. While it is true that creating or saving a record can trigger a workflow rule or process builder, there can be multiple rules or processes that are triggered based on the criteria set in each rule or process. For example, a workflow rule could trigger an email alert and an update to a field value, while a process builder could create a related record and update multiple fields on the current record.

Therefore, the correct answer would be B. False, as the number of rules or processes that are triggered by creating or saving a record can vary based on the criteria set in each rule or process.
