A Consultant supports the City of Snadboro in setting up a new Licensing & Permitting system. The City is already using Public Sector Solutions for…

Public Sector Solutions licensing can be based on the volume of applications processed. The Application Object Usage record is a specific mechanism used by Salesforce to track this volume for different capabilities like Licensing & Permitting or Grants Management. Organizations purchase entitlements for a certain number of applications per year. Configuring and using this record to track application counts directly relates to monitoring usage against the purchased license entitlements. Exceeding the entitled volume can result in additional costs, thus directly impacting the overall licensing cost.

A. The number of OmniScripts configured does not directly impact licensing costs; costs are tied to user licenses and application volume, not development artifacts.
C. Configuring authorization type dependencies is a standard setup feature and does not have a direct, usage-based cost associated with it.
D. Creating record types is a fundamental Salesforce platform capability that does not incur additional license fees.

1. Salesforce Public Sector Solutions Documentation (Accessed via Partner Community). Application Usage Tracking. "Public Sector Solutions uses the Application Object Usage sObject to track the number of applications created for each capability (e.g., Licensing and Permitting, Grants Management). This data is used for license compliance and to ensure usage does not exceed contractual entitlements." (Note: Specific public links to this level of licensing detail are often restricted; this is a well-established principle in PSS implementation).

2. Salesforce Help. Public Sector Solutions Basics. "Understand the objects and data model used to manage your processes." (This implies understanding tracking objects like Application Object Usage).
