    I’m having a hard time deciding when you use an email template and when you use Quick Text. In the study guide it says that “messages can be assigned to the Email channel so that they are available in the Email action.” Can you please elaborate?

    1. Sara Samonte

      Hi Allison,

      An email template is only used in emails. You could select a letterhead, add images, insert merge fields, use HTML code, and include attachments.

      On the other hand, quick text can be inserted into emails, chats, tasks, events, etc. You can include merge fields, line breaks, lists, and special characters; there is no formatting involved aside from that. Think of it as a text snippet you can easily insert instead of typing everything manually each time. There is a limit of 4000 characters as of date.

      Here are a couple of pages you might find useful:

    Hi Martin:

    Would it be possible to include the percentage of the exam categories next to each lesson title? I prefer to concentrate the ones that have the most weight in the live exam. Thanks.

    1. jaymalik

      Thank you for your feedback. We will update the page to include each section’s percentage weight in the exam.

        1. jaymalik

          We had previously included the weight percentages for a brief time but they were being changed quite often especially for Service Cloud so we had removed them in the meantime to avoid confusion.

    Hello Martin & Sara, Is there any plan to include “Field Service Lightning” Certification to be included in FocusOnForce? If yes, when can we expect ? Looking forward to it as my next Certification

    1. Zrna Anicic Focus Team

      Hi Tarun, we’re currently working on completing Data Architecture Study Guide, and after that, we will see about the next course. We will take Field Service Lightning into consideration, but no specific plans yet.

    I passed the Service Cloud exam this week. This was my 5th certification. Thanks again Martin and Sara. The best part of this time was that the statements were for the most part short. For the first time in my certification exams, there was plenty of time left to review all the answers. But, it’s not an easy certification. You need to study hard and FocusonForce is a great source of reference along with Trailhead. What I like the most about FocusonForce are the links justifying the answers in the exams. Now, let’s go to the next and counto with help from FocusonForce one more time.

      Congratulations on passing the exam, and thanks for the nice words. It’s always great to hear that Focus on Force materials helped!

      1. AHLMattos

        Dear Thomas, sorry for delay in answer you question. Actually, I don’t have much more information to add. Regarding FocusonForce’s practise exams, it’s few times closer to certification ones, but, in my opinion, the most important thing is the style of questions that are very similar. Also, I agree with people that practise helps a lot. If you don’t have project opportunity to apply knowledge, try to create a particular free dev org and build as many as possible scenarios covering full content. There are several questions exploring details. Trailhead is another very good source to be explored. Good luck.
