A survey is a collection of Questions. A question can be part of multiple surveys. To keep things simple, we will assume all questions are of Free Text.

 

A user should also be able to add data for surveys and questions.

 

1. Validation Rule

The business requirements states that every survey should have minimum description of length 10 characters.

Add a validation rule, on the Survey object to handle the above requirement. Name the validation rule as “Minimum_Description_Length”.

 

2. Rollup Summary

1. Business would like to see the number of questions on a survey, quickly.

2. Create a Rollup Summary on the Survey, to show the number of questions in the survey. Name the field as “Number_of_Questions__c”

3. Similarly create a roll up summary on the Questions object to show the number of surveys, this question has been used. “Number_of_Surveys__c”.

3. Formula

The business user at Fun&Learn would like to see the number of days, that have passed since the survey was created.

To accommodate the requirement, create a formula field, that shows the number of days have been passed since survey created date.
