KX3-003 Exam Dumps : Certified RapidResponse Author Level 3 Exam

A. In the ItemDetail table, making Name plus Site a compound reference to the Item table aligns with relational database principles where a foreign key references a primary key in another table.

C. In the TransactionDetail table, making ID, Owner, and Type a reference to the TransactionHeader table follows the foreign key to primary key relationship as well, where TransactionDetail refers to its header record.

E. In the TransactionDetail table, making ItemName plus ItemSite a reference to the Item table ensures that each transaction detail record is linked to an existing item record, enforcing referential integrity.

B is incorrect because the TransactionHeader table should not reference the TransactionDetail table; it should be the other way around. D is incorrect because the Item table should not reference the ItemDetail table; this too should be the other way around.

To optimize performance when creating a worksheet that contains fields from four tables, the worksheet should be based on:

• Table 1

Table 1 is connected to Table 3 with a one-way arrow, indicating a one-to-many relationship where Table 1 is the primary table. This setup typically allows for more efficient data retrieval and better performance.

The decision is supported by the diagram showing the relationships between the tables, where “Arrow Head = 1” and “Arrow Base = Many” indicates the direction of the relationship and the primary table.

To optimize performance, the worksheet should be based on the top-level table from which you can access related data via references. This is because starting from the top level allows you to utilize indexed lookups, which are faster than traversing from many-to-one relationships. Given the data model design, Table 1 is the topmost table with one-to-many relationships to Table 3, which in turn links to Table 4, and it can also indirectly access data from Table 2 through the many-to-one relationship back to Table 1.

For the sales staff to add forecasts, they need a framework that allows them to inputdata within a specified range (hence Start Date and End Date variables). A Calendar workbook variable set to 'Month' will align the input with the monthly granularity required. A custom Insert Definition is needed to facilitate the input of new forecast data. Including only the necessary columns would streamline the process, but it does not directly contribute to enabling the forecast addition as required by the client, hence why E is not a correct choice here.
