If I need to change the home page layout for a profile, shouldn’t that option be available at profile page? I see if ONLY at Home/Home Page Layout Assignment.
I have taken the exam and I had couple questions and I am not sure if I got them right. Could you help me to find the answers please?
What can be customized on the home page:
– messages and alerts
– dashboard components
– analytical snapshot
– pending approval items
-…. I do not remember answer)
What is the difference between dashboard component and analytical snapshot?
Hi John,
In addition to Kat’s question – what does this question mean by “customize”? Does it mean the same as edit? The sys admin can edit the message and alert and links component but cannot edit the dashboard. However user can personalize their layout by adding and removing certain elements from being viewed as well as customize the dashboard components. Or am I overthinking things…?
Take a look at the home page options and layouts, that will help in determining which components can be configured.
Analytic snapshots are used to create historical data for exporting purposes – you could reference that data in a report (and dashboard component), but ultimately the snapshot is not referenced directly.
Dear John,
In the Side Bar I have been able to Add Recent Tags also as a Component as I have activated the personal tags in addition to Create Items & Recent Items
do we need to access any other release documents for the exam?
What percent of the test is this?
You will need to know these components for the exam- they are built on throughout salesforce

I read that as the same as “configure”
