Question: 1

What tool can be used to "schedule backlog calculation" and "schedule utilization calculation" in PSA?

AFeature Console

BPSA Administration

CPSA Admin App

Answer: B

Explanation:

Understanding Backlog and Utilization Calculation in PSA:

Backlog Calculation: Tracks the remaining work (revenue) on projects. It includes scheduled and unscheduled backlog.

Utilization Calculation: Measures how effectively billable resources are utilized, distinguishing between historical and scheduled utilization.

Options Analysis:

Option A: 'Feature Console' Incorrect. The Feature Console is used to enable/disable PSA features, not schedule backlog/utilization calculations.

Option B: 'PSA Administration' Correct! PSA Administration is used to schedule backlog and utilization calculations.

Option C: 'PSA Admin App' Incorrect. The PSA Admin App provides access to administrative tools but is not used for scheduling calculations.

Steps to Schedule Backlog and Utilization Calculation:

Navigate to PSA Administration Tab.

Locate Schedule Backlog Calculation and Schedule Utilization Calculation.

Configure the scheduling parameters (e.g., frequency, time period).

Save and monitor scheduled jobs in Apex Jobs in Salesforce.

Question: 2

Your company's leadership noticed that the "PSA Resourcing" Lightning Component is displaying a "Default Cost Rate" column. They asked you to remove this column from the component. You edited the Resource Request Lightning Page, selected the "PSA Resourcing" component, and identified the "Column Field Set" setting.

What is the next step to complete this change?

AGo to Setup > navigate to the Object Manager for 'Contact' > select Field Sets > remove the 'Default Cost Rate' field from the field set

BGo to Setup > navigate to Custom Settings > open the 'Resource Request' setting > populate the Field Set in the 'Resource Grid Field Set'

CGo to Setup > navigate to the 'PSA User' Permission Set > open the 'Resource Request' object settings > remove field level security for the 'Default Cost Rate' field

Answer: A

Explanation:

Understanding PSA Resourcing Component Field Set

The PSA Resourcing Lightning Component displays a list of resources with key attributes such as name, role, availability, and cost rate.

The fields displayed are determined by a Field Set, which is a predefined group of fields configured on the Contact Object.

The 'Default Cost Rate' column is controlled within the Field Set configuration.

How to Remove 'Default Cost Rate' from the Component

Step 1: Navigate to Setup in Salesforce.

Step 2: Search for Object Manager and open it.

Step 3: Locate and select 'Contact' object.

Step 4: Navigate to Field Sets under the Contact Object.

Step 5: Identify the Field Set used for the PSA Resourcing Component.

Step 6: Edit the Field Set and remove the 'Default Cost Rate' field.

Step 7: Save changes and refresh the component in the Lightning App Builder.

Why This Works?

The Lightning Component dynamically retrieves its columns from the Field Set.

Removing the 'Default Cost Rate' from the Field Set ensures it will no longer be displayed.

This prevents unauthorized users or managers from seeing cost-related data directly within the Resourcing Component.

Question: 3

Which of the following custom settings can be specific to a User?

ASearch Resources Global

BTimecard Entry Ul Personal

CAssignment Settings

Answer: B

Explanation:

Certinia PSA has custom settings that can be applied at different levels: globally, at the profile level, or at the user level. Among the given options:

Search Resources Global -- This is a global setting and is not specific to an individual user.

Timecard Entry UI Personal -- This setting can be specific to a user. It allows users to customize their timecard entry UI, such as setting default values, modifying the number of rows displayed, or defining how time entry should behave.

Assignment Settings -- This setting applies to assignments and resource management at a broader level, not specific to an individual user.

Since Timecard Entry UI Personal is user-specific, the correct answer is B. Timecard Entry UI Personal.

Question: 4

A Project Manager wants to generate a report on the Project's Margin, Revenue, and Costs for a specific period, and to be able to reuse it.

How do you set up this requirement in the Org?

ACreate a report on the 'Project' object > add the Billings. Margin, and Total Costs > Group by Project Name > filter by Current Time Period

BCreate a report on the 'Project Actuals' object > add the Billings. Margin and Total Costs > Group by Project > filter by Time Period

CCreate a report on the 'Backlog Detail' object > add the Billings. Margin, and Total Costs > Group by Project > filter by Time Period

Answer: B

Explanation:

To generate a report on a Project's Margin, Revenue, and Costs for a specific period, the best approach is:

Use the 'Project Actuals' object, as it contains real-time financial data for projects.

Include the fields: Billings, Margin, and Total Costs.

Group by Project to summarize data per project.

Filter by Time Period to ensure reports show data for a specific timeframe.

Option A (Using the 'Project' object) is incorrect because it lacks direct financial calculations.

Option C (Using 'Backlog Detail') is incorrect because backlog relates to future revenue rather than actuals.

Thus, the correct answer is B.

Question: 5

After rolling this feature out, end-users have noted they can't add their assignments to build their "Experience". What could be causing this problem?

AThe 'Enable Experience' checkbox in the enable-skills-experience configuration option is not selected

BThe 'Enable Experience' checkbox in the Skills Management custom setting is not selected

CThe 'Enable Experience' field on the PSA contact record is not selected

Answer: A

Explanation:

To allow end-users to add their assignments to build their 'Experience', the following configuration setting must be enabled:

Navigate to Configuration Options.

Locate the setting 'enable-skills-experience'.

Ensure that the 'Enable Experience' checkbox is selected.
