What is the benefit of using a forecast template in Dynamics 365 Sales?

It eliminates the need for a sales pipeline

It automatically generates actual sales data

It guarantees accurate predictions

It standardizes the forecast structure and settings, saving time

A sales manager has a goal that tracks revenue from opportunities. The goal is not showing the correct actual amount because the rollup query is using the wrong field. You need to correct the goal without losing the historical data. What should you do?

Delete the goal and create a new one with the correct field.

Change the goal metric to a different amount type.

Change the goal's fiscal period to a different period.

Edit the rollup query to use the correct field and recalculate the goal.

A sales manager wants to track two different metrics: the number of new leads and the total revenue from won opportunities. They want both to appear on the same dashboard. You need to create goals that support this. What should you do?

Create two separate goals, each with its own goal metric and rollup query, and add both to the dashboard.

Create two goals but share the same rollup query to save time.

Create one goal with a rollup query that includes both leads and opportunities, and use a custom metric.

Create one goal metric that counts leads and sums revenue, and use it for a single goal.

A sales manager at Fabrikam notices that the quarterly revenue goal for the sales team is set to $500,000, but the target should be $750,000. The goal has already been used in a dashboard. You need to update the target without disrupting the existing dashboard. What should you do?

Change the goal metric's amount type to a custom value of $750,000.

Adjust the rollup query to include more opportunities so the goal reaches $750,000.

Edit the existing goal and change the target value to $750,000.

Deactivate the existing goal and create a new goal with the correct target.
