Exam Certified Data Architect topic 1 question 18 discussion

Not A, as reporting on potentially thousands of fields with millions of rows and collating that into a report in a short time frame is not realistic. Fields should be properly classified at creation as the purpose of the field should be fully scoped. Recall SHIELD can actively safeguard data that's properly categorized. Not B, because this adds an unnecessary layer of completity with matching the field to the custom object - especially since the features are available at the field metadata level. Not C, because metadata extracted is in XML format and the chances of an admin being able to convert that into a useable report aren't realisitc. D, because native salesforce reports can be utilized to build reports by using the metadata attributes.

Not A - Involves manual data extraction and classification. Not B - Adds complexity and requires additional development and maintenance. Not C - Can extract field information, but it's a more technical approach and involves external tools or custom code. D - Enforces compliance requirements across multiple objects and fields and Native Salesforce reporting tools can be used to generate compliance reports.
