An administrator enables a sales path (Path) on the Opportunity object. What does the sales path actually provide to users working an opportunity?
- AIt creates a second, independent set of stages that runs in parallel with the standard opportunity stage picklist.
- BIt presents the existing stage picklist as a guided sequence, with key fields and guidance for success configurable per stage, without adding new stage values. Correct
- CIt converts each opportunity stage into its own record type, each with a distinct page layout assigned to it.
- DIt replaces the opportunity Amount with a weighted amount calculated from each stage's probability percentage.
Why A is wrong: Tempting because the path looks like stages, but it is built on the existing stage picklist rather than introducing a separate parallel set of stages.
Why B is correct: Correct: a path sits on top of the stage picklist and surfaces the key fields and guidance for success for each stage, helping reps without changing the stages themselves.
Why C is wrong: This confuses paths with record types; a path guides users through stages but does not generate record types or reassign page layouts.
Why D is wrong: Weighted pipeline is a reporting concept; a path offers guidance and key fields and does not overwrite the Amount field with a probability calculation.
