ADM-201 - Configuration and Setup - Section 1.1

Describe the company information, fiscal year, business hours, currency management, and user interface settings configured in Setup.

Locate and adjust org-wide company information such as the default locale, fiscal year, business hours, and holidays, and recognise that enabling multiple currencies is irreversible. Configure user interface settings - including the Lightning Experience UI, list view options, and the navigation menu - that change how every user experiences the org.

Perenjori Mining has just provisioned a new Salesforce org, and the administrator needs to set the organisation's default time zone, locale, and currency that will apply as the baseline for the org. Which Setup area holds these organisation-wide defaults?

  • ACompany Information, where the organisation's default locale, time zone, and currency are maintained. Correct
  • BEach user's own detail record, edited individually before those users first log in.
  • CThe User Interface settings page, which governs display defaults for the whole org.
  • DLanguage Settings within the Translation Workbench for the organisation.
Company Information in Setup holds the organisation's default locale, time zone, and currency. The organisation-wide default locale, time zone, and currency are configured on the Company Information page, which is why new users inherit these values as their starting defaults.

Why A is correct: Company Information is the single Setup page that stores the organisation's default locale, time zone, and currency, which then seed the baseline for the org and new users.

Why B is wrong: User records do hold locale and time zone, but they set values per person rather than the organisation default, so editing them one by one does not establish the org-wide baseline.

Why C is wrong: User Interface controls features like collapsible sections and inline editing, not the org's default locale, time zone, or currency, so the required fields are not there.

Why D is wrong: Translation Workbench manages translated labels and supported languages, which is close to locale conceptually but does not set the default time zone or currency for the org.
