Platform-App-Builder Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder (Plat-Admn-202) Questions and Answers

All profiles will get access to the new field by default when it is created using Schema Builder. The app builder can modify the field-level security settings later to restrict access for certain profiles. Standard profiles, no profiles, and internal profiles are not correct options.

To start tracking how many shoe subscriptions have been sold for each shoe catalog, a roll-up summary field should be created. A roll-up summary field calculates values from related records on a master-detail relationship. It can count, sum, min, or max numeric values from child records on a parent record. 

Users will be unable to view the Account Interest records or the Interest records because they do not have read access to the Interest object. This is a standard behavior of Salesforce when a user does not have access to a related object.

When a field is added to an object, it doesn’t automatically appear in custom report types — even if the field is visible and reportable. The app builder must manually add the field to the custom report type layout to make it available in reports.

Why D (Add the field to the custom report type field layout) is correct:Exact Extract:“If a new custom field isn’t available in your report builder, edit the custom report type layout and add the field. Fields created after the report type was built must be added manually.” — Salesforce Help | Custom Report Types

Why not A:Field-level security controls visibility but not inclusion in the report type layout.

Why not B:“Allow Reports” affects whether the entire object is reportable, not individual fields.

Why not C:The “Manage Public Reports” permission allows editing public reports but doesn’t influence field visibility.

A cross-object formula field is a formula field that references fields from another object. This can be used to display the value of the Account_Region__c field on Opportunities, as long as there is a relationship between the two objects. Option A, B, and C are not relevant for this requirement.

Workflows that cause each other to fire back and forth recursively can result in workflow limits errors. For example, if workflow A updates a field that triggers workflow B, and workflow B updates a field that triggers workflow A, this can create an infinite loop of workflows that exceed the maximum number of workflow time triggers per hour.

The feature that the app builder should use to create easy access to the document is a custom detail page link on the Contract object. A custom detail page link is a type of custom button or link that can display a URL or execute JavaScript when clicked. The app builder can create a custom detail page link on the Contract object that displays the pricing guidelines document in a new window or tab. Option A is incorrect because a quick action on the Contracts object is not suitable for this requirement, as quick actions are used to create or update records, log calls, send emails, or launch flows. Option B is incorrect because a quick action on the Account object is not suitable for this requirement, as quick actions are not related to the Contract object. Option C is incorrect because a custom detail page link on the Account object is not suitable for this requirement, as custom detail page links are not related to the Contract object.

A custom action on Account can be used to create additional accounts from a parent account record. A custom action can have predefined values for certain fields based on the parent record. A custom global action can be used to create records that do not have any relationship with other objects. A custom link on Account can be used to execute JavaScript or link to an external URL.

Since there is a master-detail relationship between Property__c (master) and Offer__c (detail), Salesforce natively supports using Roll-up Summary fields on the master object to summarize values from the related child records.

Why A (Roll-up Summary) is correct:Exact Extract:“A roll-up summary field calculates values from related records, such as those in a related list, on a master record. You can count the number of related records, determine the sum, minimum, or maximum value of a field in the related records.” — Salesforce Help | Roll-Up Summary FieldsTherefore, DR can create a Roll-up Summary field on Property__c that uses the MAX function on the “Offer Value” field from Offer__c.

Why A (Roll-up Summary) is correct:Exact Extract:“A roll-up summary field calculates values from related records, such as those in a related list, on a master record. You can count the number of related records, determine the sum, minimum, or maximum value of a field in the related records.” — Salesforce Help | Roll-Up Summary FieldsTherefore, DR can create a Roll-up Summary field on Property__c that uses the MAX function on the “Offer Value” field from Offer__c.

Why not B, C, or D:

Rich Text Area and Text Area (Long) store text, not calculated numeric data.

Multi-select Picklist is used for multiple selectable text options, not calculations.

 A permission set containing the salary record type and assigning it to the appropriate users would allow only those users to create salary applicant records, while still allowing all users to view all applicant records. This is the most granular and flexible way to meet the requirement

The app builder should use the Path feature to provide the functionality that the VP of Sales wants. The Path feature allows an app builder to create a visual representation of the stages in a business process, such as the Opportunity sales process. The app builder can also add key fields, guidance, and resources for each stage to help sales reps gather information and complete tasks4. Option A, C, and D are not features that can provide this functionality.

The feature that can be used to meet these requirements is two-step approval process. An approval process defines the steps and criteria for approving records. A two-step approval process requires two levels of approval before a record can be deleted. The app builder can configure an approval process for opportunities that requires sales reps to submit their delete requests for approval from their managers. Option A is incorrect because Process Builder with Submit for Approval action is not a valid feature, as Process Builder cannot submit records for approval. Option B is incorrect because Approval Process with a triggered Flow process is not a valid feature, as Approval Process cannot trigger Flow processes. Option C is incorrect because Approval Process with Time-Dependent Workflow action is not a valid feature, as Approval Process cannot use Time-Dependent Workflow actions.

 To control access to the Review custom object such that only the HR department and the submitting employee can see the reviews, the following steps should be taken:

A. Disable Grant Access Using Hierarchies:By default, Salesforce allows users higher in the role hierarchy to access records owned by users lower in the hierarchy. Since reviews should only be visible to HR and the submitting employee, you need to disable Grant Access Using Hierarchies on the Review object to prevent anyone else in the hierarchy from automatically gaining access to these records.

Record Access and Role Hierarchies

C. Create a criteria-based Sharing Rule for the HR Department:With the organization-wide default (OWD) set to Private, you’ll need to create a criteria-based sharing rule to ensure that HR users can view the Review records. This rule would give HR access to the records based on a specified condition, such as all records of the Review object.

To ensure data integrity where the Region field on the Contact object needs to be filled out conditionally based on the parent Account's status, a validation rule on the Contact is the most effective method:

B. Create a validation rule on Contact. This rule can enforce that the Region field must be filled out for Contacts related to Accounts marked as 'High Priority'.

Steps to create this validation rule:

Navigate to Setup → Object Manager → Contact → Validation Rules.

Create a new validation rule.

In the formula, use:

AND(

ISPICKVAL(Account.Customer_Status__c, 'High Priority'),

ISBLANK(Region__c)

) )

Provide an error message to display when the rule is violated.

Save and activate the rule.

This validation rule checks that if a Contact is associated with an Account marked 'High Priority', the Region field cannot be blank.

For further detail, Salesforce's Validation Rule Considerations provides additional guidance.

 Before replacing workflow rules and Apex triggers with Process Builders, the app builder should consider avoiding generating infinite loops and combining actions when possible. Infinite loops can occur when a process updates a record that causes another process to run on the same record, and so on. Combining actions can reduce the number of processes and improve performance and maintainability

The requirement can be met by using a combination of process builder and approval process. The process builder can be used to trigger the approval process when the close date is delayed by more than 60 days. The approval process can be configured to require unanimous approval from the manager and VP of sales.

LEFT(Account.Zip_Code_c, 5) is the correct formula to display only the first five digits of Zip Code from the parent Account. LEFT function returns the specified number of characters from the left side of a text string. Account.Zip_Code_c is the custom text field that stores the Zip Code on Account object. 5 is the number of characters to return from the left side of the Zip Code. The other options are not valid formulas or functions.

The two components that could be included on the layout to display the actions are the Highlights panel and the Path. The Highlights panel is a component that shows key information and actions for a record. It can display up to 10 actions from the Mobile & Lightning Actions section of the page layout. The Path is a component that shows the stages of a process, such as a sales process or a service process. It can display up to 5 actions from the Mobile & Lightning Actions section of the page layout. The Chatter and Activities components do not display actions from the Mobile & Lightning Actions section of the page layout. They display other types of actions, such as posting, commenting, liking, logging a call, creating a task, or sending an email.

The app builder should create a master-detail relationship field on the gift card object to support the requirement. A master-detail relationship field creates a parent-child relationship between two objects, where the master record controls certain behaviors of the detail record. In this case, the Account object would be the master and the gift card object would be the detail. By creating a master-detail relationship field, the app builder can meet these requirements:

Track the total number of gift cards opened and gift cards issued on an Account: This can be done by creating roll-up summary fields on the Account object that count or sum up the values from the gift card records related to each account.

Permanently ensure the gift cards are unable to be moved across any other Account once it is created: This can be done by making the master-detail relationship field required on the gift card object, which means that every gift card record must be associated with an account record and cannot be changed once set. Option B, C, and D are not types of fields that can support this requirement.

 A flow is a powerful automation tool that can perform complex logic and data manipulation. A flow can be used to delete rejected quotes by using a record-triggered flow that runs when a quote is updated, or by using a scheduled flow that runs at a specified time.

The automation solution that would meet these requirements is Process Builder. Process Builder is a tool that can create and update records, send email alerts, submit records for approval, invoke flows, call Apex classes, and post to Chatter based on certain criteria and actions. The app builder can use Process Builder to create a process that starts when an opportunity is marked as closed won, creates a new opportunity record for the renewal with pre-populated fields, and sends an email alert to the contracts team. Option A is incorrect because an approval process is not suitable for this requirement, as approval processes are used to define the steps and criteria for approving records. Option B is incorrect because a validation rule is not suitable for this requirement, as validation rules are used to enforce data quality and prevent users from saving invalid records. Option D is incorrect because a workflow rule is not suitable for this requirement, as workflow rules are considered legacy tools and have limitations compared to Process Builder.

Guided Action Flows on the record page can help service agents meet the requirement of confirming a user identity before providing support information over the phone. Guided Action Flows are a series of screens that guide agents through a predefined process, such as verifying user information, collecting case details, or resolving issues

As of the Winter '24 release, Salesforce introduced the ability to send outbound messages directly from Flow. This makes Flow the best choice for automating the notification to an external system when a lift is sold, fulfilling the need for both checking the custom To Be Installed checkbox and sending the notification the next day.

Flow: With this new functionality, Flow is now the most versatile automation tool for this use case. You can:

Create a scheduled path that triggers the next day after the lift is sold (e.g., when a record meets the criteria such as the checkbox being checked).

Send the outbound message to notify the external system about the lift installation.

Perform all of this declaratively, replacing the need for Workflow, which previously was the go-to for outbound messages.

Why not Workflow anymore? Although Workflow still supports outbound messages, Flow is the preferred tool now, as Salesforce is deprecating Workflow rules and Process Builder in favor of Flow. Flow also allows for more complex logic and actions, providing flexibility in future-proofing automation.

Winter '24 Flow Outbound Message

The app builder should validate the inbound change set to ensure a smooth deployment to production. Validating an inbound change set allows the app builder to test whether the change set can be deployed without errors in the target org. Validating an inbound change set does not affect any data or metadata in the target org.

Two conditions that can prevent inline editing on a list view are if the list view selected is the recently viewed list view, or if the list view contains more than one record type. The recently viewed list view does not support inline editing, as it is not based on a single object. The list view must have a single record type to enable inline editing, as different record types may have different fields and values

Schema Builder is a tool that presents a comprehensive view of all relationships in one place. It allows app builders to see how objects are connected and create new relationships. Lightning Object Creator, Object Manager, and Lightning Record Page are not tools for viewing relationships, but for creating objects, managing fields, and customizing record pages respectively.

To allow users access to Flows, Salesforce offers multiple integration points:

A. Quick Action: Flows can be initiated from record pages, the app utility bar, or global actions using Quick Actions. This allows users to execute flows relevant to specific records or global processes.

C. Flow Launcher: A component available in Lightning App Builder that enables users to start flows directly from a Lightning page.

Steps to set up these features:

For Quick Actions, navigate to Setup → Object Manager → select object → Buttons, Links, and Actions → New Action → Action Type (Flow).

For Flow Launcher, navigate to Lightning App Builder → select the page → drag the Flow component to the desired section of the page → configure it to launch the specific flow.

For more information on integrating Flows, check the Salesforce documentation on Flow Distribution.

To ensure auditing users can access records in the Case_Issue__c junction object, the correct data permissions on related records must be established:

D. Read-Only access on Case and Issue__c. Users need read-only access to both Case and Issue__c objects to view associated Case_Issue__c junction object records properly. This is because access to junction object records in Salesforce is determined by the user's access levels to the parent records in a relationship.

Steps to configure access:

Navigate to Setup → Profiles or Permission Sets.

Select the profile or permission set of the auditing users.

Under Object Settings, adjust the permissions for Case and Issue__c to at least 'Read-Only'.

Ensure that users have visibility to the Case_Issue__c object itself.

This configuration allows users to view the details of cases and issues as they audit the junction object records.

To deploy a new account detail page layout from sandbox to production, an app builder should include three components in the change set:

Detail page layout: The page layout defines the arrangement of fields, buttons, related lists, and other components on a record detail or edit page. It also controls which fields are required or read-only for users. Source

Custom fields: Custom fields are fields that are created by users to store additional information on standard or custom objects. Custom fields can have different data types, such as text, number, date, picklist, etc. Source

Custom actions: Custom actions are actions that are created by users to extend the functionality of standard or custom objects. Custom actions can be global or object-specific, and they can invoke different tools such as Lightning components, Visualforce pages, flows, etc. [Source]

The solution that an app builder should use for this request is a lookup field. A lookup field is a type of relationship field that links two objects together and allows users to select a record from another object. The app builder can create a lookup field on the account object that references the user object and allows users to assign a customer service manager (CSM) to the account. Option A is incorrect because a multi-select picklist field is not suitable for this request, as multi-select picklist fields allow users to select multiple values from a predefined list, not from another object. Option B is incorrect because a picklist field is not suitable for this request, as picklist fields allow users to select one value from a predefined list, not from another object. Option D is incorrect because a text field is not suitable for this request, as text fields allow users to enter any alphanumeric characters, not from another object.

 A validation rule is a formula that evaluates the data in one or more fields and returns a value of “True” or “False”. Validation rules verify that the data a user enters in a record meets the standards you specify before the user can save the record. In this case, a validation rule can be used to check if the Expected_Close_Date_c field is populated before the Opportunity stage is set to qualified

 Two Master-detail relationships on a new custom object is how an app builder should configure the data model to create a relationship between Contact and Solar Project objects where each Contact can be related to multiple Solar Project objects, and each Solar Project can have multiple Contacts associated with it. This is an example of a many-to-many relationship that requires a junction object with two master-detail relationships. One Master-detail relationship on Contact and one Master-detail relationship on Solar Project, two Lookup relationships on a new custom object, and one Lookup relationship on Contact and one Lookup relationship on Solar Project are not valid or correct ways to create a many-to-many relationship.

Schema Builder provides a graphical representation of all standard and custom objects and their field and relationship structure. It’s the best tool for visualizing how data objects are interconnected.

Why D (Schema Builder) is correct:Exact Extract:“Schema Builder provides a dynamic environment for viewing and modifying all the objects and relationships in your organization. You can add new custom objects, fields, and relationships directly in the schema.” — Salesforce Help | Schema Builder Overview

Why not A (Fields & Relationships):That section displays fields for a single object only, not overall relationships.

Why not B (Object Manager):The Object Manager allows object configuration but doesn’t visually display relationships.

Why not C (Lightning App Builder):That tool is for UI layout, not data model visualization.

To allow quick editing of a record's status and entering a due date from the record's feed in the Salesforce Mobile App:

A. Custom action. This option enables users to perform specific tasks directly from the record page in the Salesforce Mobile App, such as editing fields.

Steps to create a custom action:

Navigate to Setup → Object Manager → select the relevant object.

Click Buttons, Links, and Actions → New Action.

Set Action Type to 'Update a Record'.

Configure the action layout to include the Status and Custom Due Date fields.

Add the action to the Salesforce Mobile layout.

This setup provides an efficient way for users to update key fields without navigating away from the record feed.

For detailed setup instructions, see Salesforce's documentation on Creating Quick Actions.

The Twitter component is a standard Lightning component that can be added to mobile view Lightning pages using the Lightning App Builder. It displays a contact’s Twitter profile and recent tweets

An AppExchange solution is a pre-built application or component that can be installed from the Salesforce AppExchange, which is an online marketplace for Salesforce products. AppExchange solutions can help you meet your business needs quickly and efficiently, without requiring much development effort or expertise. You can browse and search for AppExchange solutions by category, industry, rating, price, and more.

A validation rule can enforce process compliance by preventing users from saving records that do not meet certain criteria. In this case, a validation rule can prevent users from reverting to an earlier case status or leaving certain fields blank when specific case criteria are met

 An app builder can go to two places to see a list of available custom Lightning components in their org:

Lightning App Builder: This is a tool that allows an app builder to create and customize Lightning pages using drag-and-drop components. The app builder can see the list of custom Lightning components in the Custom section of the Lightning Components pane1.

Lightning Components in Setup: This is a setup menu that allows an app builder to view, create, edit, and delete custom Lightning components in their org. The app builder can see the list of custom Lightning components in the Lightning Components section of the Setup menu2. Option A and B are not places where an app builder can see a list of custom Lightning components.

 The app builder would enable this ability in Chatter Settings. Chatter Settings is a setup menu that allows an app builder to configure various aspects of Chatter functionality, such as feeds, groups, email notifications, and more. One of the options in Chatter Settings is Enable Approvals via Chatter, which allows users to approve or reject requests from their team via Chatter posts or comments. Option A, B, and D are not places where an app builder would enable this ability.

The app builder should use the CASESAFEID(Id) formula to create this new field. The CASESAFEID function returns the 18-digit case-insensitive version of the record ID, which is unique for each record in Salesforce. The 18-digit record ID is useful for exporting data to external systems that require case-sensitive IDs1. Option A, C, and D are not formulas that can return the 18-digit record ID.

Updating the account search layouts search results columns displayed and updating the account search filter fields can improve an end user’s search experience by showing more relevant information and allowing more refined filtering. The view filter settings and the accounts tab columns displayed are not related to the search functionality

 Create a master-detail relationship between the parent and child object with a roll-up summary field that filters on the status field is the recommended method for the app builder to achieve the request of rolling up sales metrics to an opportunity for only Detailed.Sales__c records that have their picklist status set to Active. According to the Salesforce documentation, “Roll-up summary fields calculate values from related records, such as those in a master-detail relationship.” A roll-up summary field can filter on a field value of the child records and sum up only those records that match the criteria. Utilize the AppExchange to download a third-party application that can roll up the sales dollars with the appropriate filter, create a lookup relationship between the parent and child object with a roll-up summary field that filters on the status field, and utilize Apex code to roll up the desired amounts are not valid or necessary methods for this request.

For a formula to evaluate to true when the stage is set to "Negotiation/Review" and the close date is less than one week away, the correct formula is:

Option B. This formula uses the ISPICKVAL function to check the text value of a picklist and compares the CloseDate to a week from today:

AND( I AND(

ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Negotiation/Review"),

CloseDate - 7 < TODAY()

)SPICKVAL(StageName, "Negotiation/Review"), CloseDate - 7 < TODAY() )

This formula checks that both conditions are met: it confirms the stage name is "Negotiation/Review" and that the CloseDate is within the next 7 days from the current date.

Option A lacks the ISPICKVAL function necessary for evaluating picklist fields. Option C uses DAY(7) which is not a valid Salesforce formula expression. Option D also uses DAY(7) incorrectly and fails to use the ISPICKVAL function.

Reference for creating formula fields in Salesforce:

Formula Field Reference: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=sf.customize_functions.htm &type=5

 The app builder should recommend building a global action to create Contacts. A global action allows users to create records quickly from any page in Salesforce on their mobile devices. The app builder can also specify predefined values for some fields in the global action, such as Account Name or Phone Number, to make data entry easier for users. Option A is incorrect because customizing the mobile menu to move Contacts to the top does not help users create new contacts quickly or follow up later. Option C is incorrect because adding a compact layout to Contacts does not help users create new contacts quickly or follow up later, but rather shows them more fields on record detail pages or list views. Option D is incorrect because using Path and setting pre-defined values does not help users create new contacts quickly or follow up later, but rather guides them through different stages of a record.

The app builder should know that a field type change is included in the change set and that it can cause a delay in the deployment. A field type change is a change that modifies the data type of an existing field, such as changing a text field to a number field. A field type change can affect many aspects of Salesforce functionality, such as validation rules, formulas, workflows, reports, dashboards, and more. Therefore, deploying a change set that contains a field type change can take longer than usual and require more testing and verification. Option A, C, and D are not changes that can cause a delay in the deployment.

Cloud Kicks needs to insert 25,000 records with deduplication for the Race_Track__c custom object. Here's the reasoning for choosing Data Loader:

Data Loader: This is the appropriate tool for importing large volumes of data (up to 5 million records) into Salesforce. It also provides deduplication options through Salesforce’s native matching rules or by implementing external checks. Data Loader is highly scalable, and for 25,000 records, it is well-suited because it can handle more than the Import Wizard's record limits.

Option A (Import Wizard): The Import Wizard is not a good choice here because it supports up to 50,000 records, which may seem acceptable. However, it is generally recommended for smaller data imports, and deduplication options are limited compared to what Data Loader offers. Additionally, for bulk operations like 25,000 records, Data Loader is more efficient and robust.

Import Wizard Limitations

Option B (Lightning Object Creator): This tool is used to create custom objects from spreadsheets and is not designed for bulk data loading or deduplication. It’s not appropriate for large data imports.

Option D (Schema Builder): Schema Builder is a tool used to view and modify the structure of objects and fields in Salesforce, not for data import or deduplication purposes.

In summary, Data Loader is the most appropriate tool for importing a large number of records with deduplication needs.

 Creating a formula field on the Contact object and setting the value of the formula to TEXT(Account.Account_Region__c) would reflect the region of the related account on the contact record and stay in sync if the value changes on the account. This is the most efficient and maintainable way to meet the requirement. Creating a workflow rule or a picklist field would require additional configuration and complexity

For managers to respond to approval requests for opportunities above $50,000 in the Salesforce mobile app:

B. In-App Notification: Managers receive notifications within the Salesforce mobile app when there is an approval request, allowing them to approve or reject directly from the notification.

C. Record Detail: Managers can access the approval request directly from the Opportunity's detail page in the mobile app, where they can review and respond to the request.

Steps to configure approval process notifications:

Navigate to Setup → Approval Processes → select the relevant approval process.

Ensure the process is active and configured to send notifications to approvers.

Managers need to have the Salesforce mobile app configured to receive notifications.

For best practices on managing approvals in Salesforce, see Approvals in Salesforce.

The best way to show Asset Inventory as a related list on Asset is to create a lookup relationship on Asset Inventory to Asset. This will allow one-to-many relationship between Asset and Asset Inventory, and display the related records on the Asset page layout.

This formula concatenates the four custom fields for the Galactic Vendor’s location into a single text value, separated by commas and spaces. The formula also uses the BR function to insert a line break after the second field, creating two lines of text. Option A, B, and D are not formulas that fulfill the requirement.

The app builder should use Data Loader to quickly insert a list of over 60,000 net new Accounts. Data Loader is a tool that allows users to insert, update, delete, or export large amounts of data from Salesforce using CSV files or database connections. Data Loader can handle up to 5 million records at a time and supports features such as bulk API, batch operations, mapping files, etc. Data Loader is ideal for loading large data sets into Salesforce quickly and efficiently. Lightning Object Creator is not a valid tool, as it cannot insert data into existing objects. Lightning Object Creator is a tool that allows users to create custom objects from spreadsheet data by uploading a file and mapping columns to fields. It cannot load data into existing objects or handle more than 500 records at a time. Import Wizard is not a valid tool, as it cannot handle more than 50,000 records at a time. Import Wizard is a tool that allows users to insert, update, or delete data from Salesforce using CSV files or Excel files. Import Wizard supports standard objects and some custom objects and provides features such as field mapping, duplicate detection, data validation, etc. Import Wizard is ideal for loading small data sets into Salesforce with more control and accuracy.

Data is unable to be deployed with change sets. Change sets are used to deploy metadata components such as custom objects, fields, workflows, reports, etc. from one Salesforce org to another. However, change sets do not include any data or records from the source org. Users will need to use other tools such as Data Loader or Data Import Wizard to migrate data between orgs. [Source]

Update the organization-wide defaults and create a criteria based sharing rule are two actions that an app builder should complete to implement the change of moving to a more restrictive sharing model while allowing the Sales team to access all account records with the sales record type. Updating the organization-wide defaults can set the baseline level of access for accounts, and creating a criteria based sharing rule can grant additional access based on record type. Updating the Sales profile and creating an owner-based sharing rule are not necessary or sufficient actions for this change.

The best way to implement this requirement is to create a formula field on the Case object using the TEXT function. A formula field can display the value of another field from a related object, such as the Account object. The TEXT function can convert a picklist value into text, which can be displayed on the Case record. Creating a formula field on the Account object using the ISPICKVAL function is not a valid solution, as it does not show the value of Support Level on the Case record. The ISPICKVAL function is used to check if a picklist field has a certain value, not to display it. Creating a Process Builder and using a field update on the Case object is not an optimal solution, as it requires more configuration and maintenance than a formula field. A Process Builder may also introduce delays or errors in updating the field value. Creating a roll-up summary field using Support Level on the Account object is not a valid solution, as it does not show the value of Support Level on the Case record. A roll-up summary field is used to aggregate numeric values from child records, not to display picklist values.

The Account record includes Invoice roll-up summary fields. This is correct because roll-up summary fields are only available on the master object in a master-detail relationship, and changing the field type to lookup would delete the roll-up summary fields

Create mobile navigation menus for both the sales and marketing profiles. This is correct because mobile navigation menus allow users to customize the items that appear in the navigation bar of the Salesforce mobile app, and they can be assigned to different profiles.

 Setting email deliverability to no access would prevent outbound email sends during testing in a sandbox. This would ensure that no emails are sent to any users or external email addresses from the sandbox. Setting email deliverability to system email only would still allow some emails to be sent, such as password reset emails or new user emails. Configuring SMTP authentication or email relay would not affect email deliverability in a sandbox

 Partial Copy is the type of testing environment that the app builder should create to use a sandbox template for Accounts, Projects, and Project Milestones. According to the Salesforce documentation, “Partial Copy sandboxes copy your production org’s configuration (metadata) and some of your production org’s data as defined by a sandbox template.” Developer, Developer Pro, and Scratch Org are not types of testing environments that support sandbox templates.

To make a custom component available for the utility bar in Salesforce, the component needs to be explicitly tagged for use in the utility bar. Salesforce components require specific configurations to be available in different parts of the application, such as the utility bar, record pages, or app pages.

Option C: For use on the utility bar: When a custom Lightning component is developed, it must include a specific target tag in its .js-meta.xml configuration file that marks it as usable in the utility bar. This is done by setting the target to "lightning__UtilityBar". Without this tag, the component will not appear as an option to add to the utility bar in the App Manager.

Example of how the component is tagged in the meta.xml file:

xml

Copy code

lightning__UtilityBar

Utility Bar Components Documentation

Option A: For use on record pages: This tag makes the component available only on record pages, but not the utility bar. The component would have a target for lightning__RecordPage in this case.

Option B: For use in Lightning App Builder: This option would allow the component to be used in the Lightning App Builder, but it wouldn't make the component available for the utility bar. App Builder placement is typically for page layouts.

Option D: For use in App Manager: This is incorrect, as App Manager is used for managing apps and not for tagging components for availability.

In summary, to make the component available for the utility bar, it needs to be specifically tagged for that purpose using the lightning__UtilityBar target in the component's metadata file.

Polls and Out of Office are two ways that CK can use Chatter to gather feedback and understand availability. Polls allow users to create surveys and collect opinions from other users. Out of Office lets users set a status message and an end date to inform others when they are away or busy. Streams and Topics are not related to the problem.

 The two recommended solutions for the app builder to give the users appropriate access are creating a criteria based sharing rule to all opportunities with the sales operations public group and adding a permission set with ‘View All" and ‘Modify All’’ opportunity permissions enabled. A criteria based sharing rule can grant read and write access to all opportunities that meet certain criteria to a specified group of users. A permission set can grant additional object-level permissions to users without changing their profiles. Option B is incorrect because adding a manual share for all opportunities with each user on the sales operations team is not scalable or maintainable. Option D is incorrect because creating a criteria-based sharing rule to share all opportunities with the sales operations private group is redundant, as private groups are used to manually share records with individual users or other groups.

The most likely reason why users are unable to view the custom Lightning component on mobile devices is that the component has been developed for Desktop Pages only. Some components are not supported on mobile devices or have different behavior on mobile devices. An app builder should check the component documentation or metadata to see if it is compatible with mobile devices.

Lightning Object Creator is a tool that allows app builders to create an object with fields and import data from a spreadsheet simultaneously. Import Wizard and Data Loader are tools for importing data into existing objects, not creating new objects. Schema Builder is a tool for creating and modifying objects and fields, but not importing data.

The two reasons that could be preventing this relationship conversion are that there are already two master-detail relationships on the Invoice Line Item and that Invoice Line Item records exist without having the Invoice lookup field populated. A custom object can have up to two master-detail relationships, so adding another one would exceed the limit. Also, a master-detail relationship requires that the detail records have a value in the master lookup field, so any records with a blank Invoice lookup field would prevent the conversion.

Historical data will be updated to 12:00 timestamp when changing a Date field to Date/Time field. According to the Salesforce documentation, “When you convert a Date field to Date/Time, Salesforce appends “12:00” to existing data in your records.” The change will not be instant, but will require some time for processing. The field name will not change unless specified by the app builder. Data loss will not be experienced, but data accuracy might be affected.

 A custom button, a validation rule, and record types can be used to meet the requirement of hiding the convert button on leads until the lead status picklist is set to qualified. The custom button can replace the standard convert button and invoke a validation rule that checks the lead status. The record types can be used to assign different page layouts with different buttons for different lead statuses

The category that handles bug fixes and simple changes is minor. A minor release is a type of release that introduces small enhancements or fixes to existing functionality, such as correcting spelling errors or improving performance. A minor release usually has a low impact on users and does not require extensive testing or training. A patch release is a type of release that addresses critical issues or defects that affect the functionality or security of an application, such as fixing broken links or resolving vulnerabilities. A patch release usually has a high impact on users and requires immediate deployment. A major release is a type of release that introduces new functionality or features to an application, such as adding new objects or components or changing business processes. A major release usually has a high impact on users and requires extensive testing and training. A rollback is not a type of release, but an action that reverses a release that has been deployed to an environment, such as undoing changes or restoring previous versions. A rollback may be necessary if a release causes errors or issues that affect the functionality or performance of an application.

 NOT(ISBLANK(Job_Accepted__c)) && ISCHANGED(Hire_Date__c) is the validation formula that the app builder should use to meet the requirement of preventing changes to Hire Date after Job Accepted is entered. This formula will return TRUE if Job Accepted is not blank and Hire Date is changed, which will display an error message and prevent saving the record. The other formulas are not correct or valid.

The two options that the app builder should avoid to prevent recursion are setting a criteria node to No criteria-just execute the procedure and invocable processes. Setting a criteria node to No criteria-just execute the procedure means that the process will always execute the actions regardless of the record values, which can cause recursion if the process updates the same record that triggered it. Invocable processes are processes that can be invoked from another process or a flow, which can cause recursion if the invocable process updates the same record that triggered the parent process or flow. Option A is incorrect because IF statements are not an option in Process Builder, but rather a function that can be used in formulas or conditions. Option D is incorrect because the ISCHANGED function is not an option in Process Builder, but rather a function that can be used in formulas or conditions to check if a field value has changed.

The solution that should meet this requirement is updating the support team profile to remove the Bronze record type. This way, the support team users will not be able to create new cases with the Bronze record type, as it will not appear in their record type selection list. Option A is incorrect because updating the organization-wide defaults to private for Case does not affect the record type availability, but rather the record access level. Option C is incorrect because creating permission set group for Case that includes Platinum and Diamond record types does not prevent the support team users from creating new cases with the Bronze record type, as they may still have access to it through their profile. Option D is incorrect because making the record type hidden to support users and updating sharing roles to private does not prevent the support team users from creating new cases with the Bronze record type, as they may still have access to it through their profile.

To ensure that only the sales reps and their manager’s executive can view the rep’s evaluation record but the reps should not be able to view the executive comment field on their review, a private sharing model granting record access using hierarchy and field-level security should be used. A private sharing model means that only the owner of a record and users above them in the role hierarchy can view the record by default. Record access can be granted to other users using manual sharing, sharing rules, or Apex sharing. Field-level security controls which fields are visible or editable for different profiles or permission sets.

Apex unit test failures can cause a package installation to fail. According to the Salesforce documentation, “If your package contains Apex code, all tests must complete successfully for your package to install.” Incorrect license types, package features not compatible, and object limits exceeded are not valid reasons for a package installation failure.

Upon adding a lookup field to Account from a custom object, Box:

D. Accounts with Boxes. Salesforce automatically creates a new report type that reflects the relationship from the perspective of the parent object, in this case, Accounts, showing related Box records.

This new report type enables users to create reports that list Accounts along with their associated Boxes, if any.

For further understanding of report types and relationships, Salesforce's guide on Report Types provides comprehensive information on how these are structured following modifications to object relationships.

Dynamic actions are a new feature that allow app builders to create custom buttons or actions that can call Lightning Web Components and display them conditionally based on field values or other criteria. Formula fields, AppExchange products, and custom links are not able to call Lightning Web Components.

Configuring a validation rule to require a field for a specific record type is the best way to ensure that important fields are entered and formatted correctly. Updating the important fields to be required on the page layout will not prevent users from entering invalid data using other methods, such as data loader or quick actions. Making a formula field to check the format of the important fields will not prevent users from entering invalid data, but only display a message or an indicator. Creating a workflow rule to check the fields are formatted correctly will not prevent users from entering invalid data, but only trigger an action after the data is saved.

To view a junction object record, a user must have at least read access to both master objects. This is because the junction object inherits the sharing and security settings from both master objects

The app builder should do three things to optimize mobile experience:

Use Global Actions to make it easy to perform vital functionality on mobile: Global actions are actions that allow users to create records or perform tasks from anywhere in Salesforce. They are displayed in various places in Salesforce mobile app, such as action bar, action menu, or publisher. By using global actions, the app builder can make it easy for the appraisal team to perform common tasks on mobile, such as creating a new appraisal record or logging a call.

Minimize the amount of formula fields and lookup fields to reduce page load time: Formula fields and lookup fields are types of fields that can affect the performance of Salesforce mobile app. Formula fields are fields that calculate a value based on an expression or formula. Lookup fields are fields that create a relationship between two objects and allow users to select a value from a list of records. Both types of fields can increase the page load time on mobile devices, especially if they are complex or reference many other fields. By minimizing the amount of formula fields and lookup fields, the app builder can optimize the mobile experience for the appraisal team.

Put the most important fields in the compact layout so they are easy to find: Compact layouts are layouts that display a record’s key information at a glance. They are used in various places in Salesforce mobile app, such as record highlights, list views, related lists, and lookup dialogs. By putting the most important fields in the compact layout, the app builder can ensure that the appraisal team can easily find the information they need on mobile devices. Option B and D are not things that an app builder should do to optimize mobile experience.

The requirement specifies that when the Close Date is delayed by more than 60 days, the record must go through review by both the manager and VP of Sales — this implies an approval process or Flow-initiated approval is needed, not just a restriction.

Why B (Flow) is correct:A Record-Triggered Flow can be configured to detect when the Opportunity Close Date changes by more than 60 days and then automatically submit the record for approval.Exact Extract:“You can use a flow to automatically submit records for approval when they meet certain criteria.” — Salesforce Help | Flow and Approval Processes

Why C (Approval Process) is correct:The approval process enforces the review by both the manager and VP, ensuring a controlled approval sequence.Exact Extract:“An approval process automates how records are approved in Salesforce. Each approval process specifies the steps necessary for a record to be approved and who must approve it.” — Salesforce Help | Approval ProcessesYou can configure multiple approvers and specify that both must approve (“Unanimous Approval”).

Why not A (Validation Rule):A validation rule would only block saving but would not trigger a review or approval.

Why not D (Formula Field):Formula fields are read-only and cannot trigger workflow or approval actions directly.

Add the standard Chatter feed component is how an app builder can add the Chatter feed to a custom object record page. According to the Salesforce documentation, “The Chatter Feed component displays updates about records in your org.” Add the standard related list component, add a custom Chatter feed component, and add the Chatter feed component from the AppExchange are not valid or necessary options.

A: Setting Sharing Settings to Read Only on both Master-Detail relationship fields ensures that users can view but not edit the master records from the junction object.

Creating both customer and dealer as accounts, creating account teams on each account and associating the dealer records with the parent account would allow UC to track each customer and dealer separately, as well as their relationships and reps. Account hierarchy is not suitable for this scenario, as it is used to show the relationships among parent and child accounts within a single company

The app builder should verify that there is an Apex test that provides test coverage for the Flow. An Apex test is a unit test that verifies the functionality and quality of Apex code. Apex tests are required to deploy any change that contains Apex code or references Apex code, such as an auto launched flow3. The app builder should ensure that there is an Apex test that covers at least 75% of the Flow logic before deploying it to production in an active state4. Option B, C, and D are not things that the app builder should take into consideration when planning the deployment.

To add components to the utility bar of an existing app:

C. App Manager. This is where Salesforce apps are configured, including the utility bar which can house components like a chat tool, recent items list, or custom Lightning components.

Steps to edit an app's utility bar:

Navigate to Setup → App Manager.

Locate the desired app and click on the dropdown next to it → select Edit.

In the App Builder, navigate to the Utility Items tab.

Click 'Add' to include new components to the utility bar.

Configure the properties of the utility item as needed.

Save the app configuration.

For step-by-step instructions on modifying apps, see Salesforce's guide on Managing Apps in Lightning Experience.

The requirement is to copy the parent Account’s Billing State onto a custom field on Opportunity at the moment the Opportunity is created, and keep that value static thereafter.

Why not Formula (B): A formula would always recalculate, so the value would change if the Account’s Billing State later changes.Exact Extract: “Formula fields are read-only fields that automatically recalculate their values when any referenced fields change.” — Salesforce Help | Formula Fields

Why not Roll-Up Summary (A): Roll-up summary fields only summarize child records onto a master (parent) record; they do not copy values from a parent (Account) down to a child (Opportunity), and they can’t summarize a text/state value.Exact Extract: “A roll-up summary field calculates values from related records, such as those in a related list, on a master record.” — Salesforce Help | Roll-Up Summary Fields

Why Flow (C) is correct: A Record-Triggered Flow on Opportunity (when a record is created) can set a field value by referencing the related Account (e.g., Opportunity.Account.BillingState) and writing it into a dedicated “snapshot” field (e.g., Billing State at Create__c). Because this is a one-time assignment on create, the value remains static unless intentionally updated by further automation.Exact Extract 1: “Use Flow Builder to automate business processes by collecting data and performing actions in your Salesforce org.” — Salesforce Help | Flow BuilderExact Extract 2: “Record-triggered flows launch when a record is created, updated, or deleted, and can update fields on the triggering record.” — Salesforce Help | Record-Triggered Flows

Why Apex (D) is not preferred: While Apex could do the same copy-on-create, Salesforce’s recommended approach is to use declarative automation (Flow) when possible.Exact Extract: “Before considering Apex, evaluate whether your solution can be implemented with declarative tools such as Flow.” — Salesforce Architect Guidance | Clicks, Not Code

Implementation note (for clarity): Create a custom text field on Opportunity, e.g., Billing State at Create (Billing_State_at_Create__c). Build a Record-Triggered Flow:

Trigger: Opportunity — “A record is created”

Get or use the related Account from the $Record.AccountId relationship

Update the new Opportunity field with Account.BillingState

Do not run the flow on updates

Sharing rules can be used to extend access to records owned by certain users or roles to other users or roles. In this case, a sharing rule can grant read-only or read/write access to sales-owned accounts to the marketing team

When the Allow Customer Invitations setting is enabled, customers (external users) can be invited to specific Chatter groups as external members, allowing collaboration and communication within those groups only.

Why A (The ability to interact with members of their groups) is correct:Exact Extract:“External users invited to Chatter groups can post, comment, and interact with members of the groups they belong to, but can’t access information outside those groups.” — Salesforce Help | External Users in Chatter Groups

Why not B:External users cannot @mention accounts; they can only mention members of their groups.

Why not C:External users cannot invite others to groups — only internal members or group owners can.

Why not D:External users cannot request to join public groups unless invited.
