A formula field is a custom field that calculates a value based on a formula expression. A formula field can display text, numbers, dates, or images. A formula field can use the IMAGE function to display an image from a URL. A formula field can be added to an object page layout to show the image on the record detail page1.
A static resource is a file or a collection of files that can be uploaded to Salesforce and referenced in a formula field, a Visualforce page, a Lightning component, or a web tab. A static resource can store images, style sheets, JavaScript, or other files. A static resource can be used to store the custom image that Cloud Kicks wants to display on the record detail page2.
An object page layout is a configuration of fields, buttons, related lists, and other components on a record detail page. An object page layout can be customized to show different information for different users, based on their profiles or record types. An object page layout can be used to add the formula field that displays the custom image to the record detail page3.
These platform tools can be used to achieve the requirement of adding a custom image to a record detail page, making it easier for Cloud Kicks to visually identify its current membership level. For example, the formula field can use the IMAGE function to display the custom image from the static resource, based on the value of another field that indicates the membership level. The object page layout can then include the formula field on the record detail page for the relevant users.
Image field is a custom field that allows users to upload and display images on a record. Image field can be used to show images on a record detail page, but it is not suitable for Cloud Kicks' requirement, because it does not allow the image to be determined by a formula expression. Image field requires the user to manually upload the image for each record, which is not efficient or consistent4.
Dynamic form is a feature that allows admins to add, group, and reorder fields and sections on a Lightning record page using the Lightning App Builder. Dynamic form can be used to create flexible and dynamic page layouts that can adapt to different contexts and scenarios. Dynamic form also supports visibility rules, which can be used to show or hide fields or sections based on filters or conditions. However, dynamic form is not a platform tool that can be used to display a custom image on a record detail page, as it does not affect the content or functionality of the fields. Dynamic form can only be used to configure the layout of the fields, not the values or images of the fields5.
Lightning components are reusable units of user interface that can be used to build Lightning pages and applications. Lightning components can be built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Apex. Lightning components can display data, images, icons, charts, buttons, or other elements on a Lightning page. SLDS icons are icons from the Salesforce Lightning Design System that can be used in Lightning components to represent actions, objects, or concepts. Compact layouts are page layouts that show a record's key fields at a glance in the highlights panel, the list view, the Related tab, and other places. Compact layouts can be used to customize which fields are displayed in these places6.
Lightning components, SLDS icons, and compact layouts are platform tools that can be used to display images on a Lightning page, but they are not the best option for Cloud Kicks' requirement, because they are more complex and require more development skills than a formula field, a static resource, and an object page layout.
Lightning components also require more maintenance and testing than formula fields. SLDS icons are predefined icons that may not match the custom image that Cloud Kicks wants to display. Compact layouts are not relevant for displaying images on a record detail page, as they only affect the highlights panel and other places6.

A UX Designer should take the following steps to create and deliver responsible and transparent AI technology12:
* C: Document model cards to clarify intended context and use cases. Model cards are standardized documents that provide essential information about a machine learning model, such as its purpose, performance, limitations, and ethical considerations3. Model cards can help UX Designers to communicate the design choices and trade-offs of their AI systems, and to ensure that they are aligned with the user needs and expectations4.
* D: Provide clear explanations of AI predictions or recommendations. Explanations are user-facing descriptions of how and why an AI system produces a certain output, such as a prediction, a recommendation, or a decision5. Explanations can help UX Designers to increase the transparency and trustworthiness of their AI systems, and to empower users to understand, control, and evaluate the AI outcomes6.

Model cards are documents that describe the intended use, performance, and limitations of AI models. They help ensure that the AI technology is being used responsibly and transparently, as they provide clear information about the model's context, data, and assumptions. This can help reduce the risk of unintended consequences and build trust with users.
D: Provide clear explanations of AI predictions or recommendations.
Clear explanations of AI predictions or recommendations help build trust with users and increase understanding of how the AI technology works. By providing an understandable explanation of how a prediction or recommendation was made, users can gain a better understanding of the technology and how it is intended to be used. This can also help reduce the risk of unintended consequences and improve accountability.

When a lead is converted in Salesforce, three new records are typically created: a contact, an account, and an opportunity. A contact is a person who is associated with an account and has a role in a sales process. An account is a company or organization that is a potential or existing customer. An opportunity is a sales deal that is in progress or has been closed. These records are linked together and use the information from the lead record. The lead record becomes read-only and is marked as converted. References:

A usability study is a method of evaluating how easy and intuitive a product or service is to use by observing real users performing specific tasks. It can help identify usability issues, user needs, and user satisfaction. One of the first steps when planning a usability study is to define the goals of the study, which are the questions that the UX designer wants to answer or the hypotheses that they want to test. The goals of the study will guide the selection of the participants, the tasks, the metrics, and the methods of the study. For example, if the goal of the study is to find out how users navigate the Experience Cloud site, the UX designer might choose to use a task-based usability test with eye-tracking and think-aloud techniques.

Human-centered design is a process that starts with the people you are designing for and ends with new solutions that are tailor-made to suit their needs. It involves understanding the problem from the perspective of the end-users, empathizing with their needs and preferences, and creating solutions that are desirable, feasible, and viable. To incorporate human-centered design across an organization, two practices that should be adopted are:
* Observing user behavior: This involves watching how users interact with a product or service, what they do, say, think, and feel. Observing user behavior can help identify painpoints, needs, goals, motivations, and emotions that drive user behavior. It can also reveal insights that users may not be able to articulate or may not be aware of themselves. Observing user behavior can be done through methods such as user interviews, contextual inquiry, usability testing, and analytics.
* Putting oneself in the situation of the end-user: This involves imagining or experiencing what the user goes through when using a product or service, and how they perceive and respond to it. Putting oneself in the situation of the end-user can help build empathy, understand the user's context and environment, and generate ideas that address the user's needs and expectations. Putting oneself in the situation of the end-user can be done through methods such as personas, scenarios, journey maps, and empathy maps.
