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

 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.

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.

The solution that the app builder should configure to meet these requirements is creating three lead record types each with its own page layout containing the relevant fields. This way, the app builder can customize the fields and sections that appear on each record type based on the source of the lead. Option B is incorrect because creating a partner community and a record type for web and trade show leads does not address the requirement of collecting information that is unique to each type of lead, as partner community users may have different fields and layouts than internal users. Option C is incorrect because creating three sections on the lead layout and instructing users to collapse the non-relevant fields does not address the requirement of collecting information that is unique to each type of lead, as users may still see or enter data in the wrong fields. Option D is incorrect because creating custom page layouts for each type of lead only containing the relevant fields does not address the requirement of collecting information that is applicable to all sources, as users may miss some common fields.

Feed Tracking is the Chatter feature that allows field value changes for certain fields to show up on Chatter. Thanks, Publisher Actions, and Topics are other Chatter features, but they do not relate to field value changes.

When Cloud Kicks needs to calculate summaries from child objects of a standard object declaratively, a few key considerations about master-detail relationships come into play. Master-detail relationships are critical in Salesforce when working with roll-up summary fields, which allow you to calculate values from child records.

Option B: An object can have up to two master-detail relationships.

Salesforce allows an object to have two master-detail relationships. This is important because if you want to aggregate child record data using roll-up summary fields, you need to have a master-detail relationship in place. Each master-detail relationship links a child object to a parent, and you can create roll-up summary fields on the parent object to summarize the child record data.

To count child records (Trails) on a parent record (Park) without code, a Roll-up Summary field is required. However, Roll-up Summary fields only work when a Master-Detail relationship exists.

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 or summarize fields.” — Salesforce Help | Roll-Up Summary Fields

Why D (Master-Detail Relationship) is correct:Exact Extract:“Roll-up summary fields are available only for master-detail relationships.” — Salesforce Help | Relationships OverviewTherefore, the Trail object must be the detail and the Park object the master to enable the roll-up count.

Why D (Master-Detail Relationship) is correct:Exact Extract:“Roll-up summary fields are available only for master-detail relationships.” — Salesforce Help | Relationships OverviewTherefore, the Trail object must be the detail and the Park object the master to enable the roll-up count.

Why not B:Formula fields can’t count related records.

Why not C:Lookup relationships don’t support roll-up summaries natively.

The selected objects in the sandbox template. This is correct because a partial sandbox only copies a subset of data from production, and the data to be copied is determined by the sandbox template. If the Shipping object was not selected in the template, then its data would not be copied to the sandbox

 The app builder should use three features to meet the business requirements:

Process Builder: This is a type of automation tool that can execute actions based on certain criteria. In this case, the process builder can have a criteria that evaluates if an opportunity is in the Secure Commitment Stage, and then execute an action that submits it for approval.

Apex: This is a programming language that allows developers to execute complex logic on the Salesforce platform. Apex can be used to create triggers that run before or after certain events, such as insert, update, delete, or undelete of records. In this case, Apex can be used to create a trigger that runs before an opportunity is updated and submits it for approval if it is in the Secure Commitment Stage.

Flow: This is another type of automation tool that can guide users through a series of screens and perform actions based on user input. Flow can also be triggered by certain events, such as when a record is created or updated. In this case, Flow can be used to create a record-triggered flow that runs after an opportunity is updated and submits it for approval if it is in the Secure Commitment Stage. Option A and D are not features that can meet the business requirements.

For automatically updating contact statuses when an account type changes:

D. Record triggered flow. This type of automation can monitor changes in account types and accordingly update related records, such as contacts.

Steps to implement:

Navigate to Setup → Flows.

Create a new Flow and choose the record-triggered flow type.

Configure the flow to trigger when the Account record is updated to 'Past-Customer'.

Add an Update Records element to modify all related contacts, setting their status to 'Re-Market'.

Activate the flow.

This automation ensures that contact statuses are updated in real-time when their related account's type changes, maintaining data consistency and relevancy.

For more on record-triggered flows, check out Salesforce's Record-Triggered Flows documentation.

 The app builder should use the Path component to meet the requirement of tracking different fields at each stage of the Opportunity sales process. The Path component is a Lightning component that displays the key fields and guidance for each stage of a standard or custom picklist field, such as the Opportunity Stage field. The app builder can configure the Path component to show the fields that need to be filled out and provide recommendations and sales strategies for each stage3. Option A, B, and C are not configuration steps that can meet this requirement.

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.

The correct method to upgrade an unmanaged package that is installed in a production environment is to use the update link provided on the Installed Packages page. This process ensures that any modifications or additions in the package are properly integrated without the need to uninstall the previous version, thus preserving existing customizations and data.

A: Uninstalling removes all associated data and customizations, which is not advisable.

B: The Install Wizard is used for initial installations, not upgrades.

 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

The validation rule should be AND(ISNEW(), ISBLANK(Lead.Owner:User.Id)). This rule will prevent saving a new lead record if the owner is not a user. This will ensure that campaign members have a sales owner. Option A is incorrect because it will prevent saving any lead record if the owner is blank, which is not the requirement. Option B is incorrect because it will prevent saving an existing lead record if the owner is a queue, which is not the requirement. Option D is incorrect because it will prevent saving any lead record if the owner is a queue, which is not the requirement.

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.

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.

Component visibility filter is the feature on the Lightning app builder that should be utilized to restrict a Lightning component to mobile app users. According to the Salesforce documentation, “Use component visibility filters to show or hide components on a record page based on field values or user profile.” Chatter feed, highlights panel, and related list quick links are not features for controlling component visibility, but standard components that can be added to a record page.

 A summary report on the opportunity object should be created to add to the account page layout. A summary report groups rows of data by common values and allows users to create charts based on aggregate values. A summary report on the opportunity object can group opportunities by stage and display a chart of all related opportunities on the account detail page.

The functionality that should be used to set up packages is namespace. A namespace is a unique identifier that distinguishes one package from another and prevents naming conflicts with other packages or customizations. A namespace also allows developers to expose their code or components for use by other developers through APIs or web services. A description is not a functionality that should be used to set up packages, but a text field that provides information about the package contents or purpose. A description does not prevent conflicts with other packages or customizations. Allow sharing is not a functionality that should be used to set up packages, but a setting that controls whether users can share records owned by other users within their role hierarchy. Allow sharing does not prevent conflicts with other packages or customizations. Help setting is not a functionality that should be used to set up packages, but a setting that determines whether users can access help documentation for standard Salesforce features or custom features within a package. Help setting does not prevent conflicts with other packages or customizations.

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

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.

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.

 Big objects and external objects can be used to archive historical data and reduce data storage in Salesforce, while still allowing users to access the archived data using reports, queries, and lookups. Big objects store data within Salesforce, while external objects store data outside Salesforce and integrate it with Salesforce using an external data source

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.

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.

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.

Create a master-detail relationship field on Applicant__c to Application__c is what the app builder should recommend to meet the requirements of allowing the same applicant to apply for multiple open positions using a single application. This will create a many-to-many relationship between Applicant__c and Open_Position__c using Application__c as a junction object. Create a master-detail relationship on Open_Position__c to Application__c, create a master-detail relationship field on Application__c to Open_Position__c, and create a lookup relationship field on Applicant__c to Application__c are not valid or correct ways to create a many-to-many relationship.

The correct validation rule formula to ensure that the Scheduled Ship Date field is properly filled out before setting the Opportunity to Closed Won is:

OR(ISPICKVAL( StageName ,“Closed Won”) && ( Scheduled_Ship_Date_cCloseDate)>14,ISBLANK(Scheduled_Ship_Date_c))

This formula checks two conditions: if the StageName is Closed Won and the Scheduled Ship Date is more than 14 days after the Close Date, or if the Scheduled Ship Date is blank. If either condition is true, the validation rule will fire and prevent saving the record. The other formulas are incorrect because they either use incorrect syntax (such as “=” instead of “,” or missing parentheses) or incorrect logic (such as checking if the Scheduled Ship Date is less than 14 days after the Close Date)

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

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.

 The two considerations that an app builder should keep in mind during the deployment process using change sets are: Change sets do not include all components and may have to perform some changes manually. Change sets are a way to deploy metadata changes from one Salesforce org to another, but they do not support all types of components, such as reports, dashboards, email templates, etc. The app builder may have to use other methods, such as unmanaged packages or manual configuration, to deploy these components. Users should be logged out of production when receiving inbound change sets. This is a best practice to avoid any errors or conflicts that may occur when deploying changes to production. Users may be working on records or components that are being updated by the change set, which may cause data loss or inconsistency. Salesforce Connect does not automatically establish a link between environments. Salesforce Connect is a feature that allows users to access data from external sources without storing it in Salesforce. It does not have anything to do with deploying changes between Salesforce orgs. Transactions will not revert if the deployment errors. Transactions are units of work that are either completed entirely or not at all. If a deployment error occurs during a transaction, the transaction will be rolled back and no changes will be made to the target org. However, this does not mean that the source org will revert to its previous state before the deployment.

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.

When a record is submitted for approval, Salesforce automatically locks it, preventing further edits until it is approved, rejected, or recalled.

Why A (Record Lock) is correct:Exact Extract:“When a record is submitted for approval, Salesforce automatically locks the record to prevent users from editing it unless they have ‘Modify All Data’ permission or are designated as an approver.” — Salesforce Help | Approval Processes OverviewThus, the user will receive a message indicating that the record is locked and cannot be edited.

Why A (Record Lock) is correct:Exact Extract:“When a record is submitted for approval, Salesforce automatically locks the record to prevent users from editing it unless they have ‘Modify All Data’ permission or are designated as an approver.” — Salesforce Help | Approval Processes OverviewThus, the user will receive a message indicating that the record is locked and cannot be edited.

Why not B or C:Once locked, no field (including Description) is editable by the submitter.

Why not D:Ownership does not change upon approval submission.

Managed packages from the AppExchange are designed to provide automatic updates, upgrades, and vendor support, minimizing the need for ongoing manual maintenance by the customer.

Why D (Managed Package from AppExchange) is correct:Exact Extract:“Managed packages are maintained by the provider and can be automatically upgraded. They’re ideal for apps distributed and maintained through AppExchange.” — Salesforce Help | Managed and Unmanaged Packages OverviewManaged packages allow publishers to push automatic updates and ensure compatibility with future Salesforce releases — minimizing maintenance effort.

Why D (Managed Package from AppExchange) is correct:Exact Extract:“Managed packages are maintained by the provider and can be automatically upgraded. They’re ideal for apps distributed and maintained through AppExchange.” — Salesforce Help | Managed and Unmanaged Packages OverviewManaged packages allow publishers to push automatic updates and ensure compatibility with future Salesforce releases — minimizing maintenance effort.

Why not A (Open-source custom development):Open-source code must be maintained internally by developers.

Why not B (Unmanaged package):Unmanaged packages are customer-controlled and do not receive automatic updates.

Why not C:Open-source unmanaged packages combine the same issue — no automated support or maintenance.

The requirement is to automatically grant record visibility to all users in a specific role (Service Manager) based on record criteria (“Opportunity Type = Service Agreement”).

This is a textbook case for a criteria-based sharing rule.

Why C (Criteria-Based Sharing Rule) is correct:Exact Extract:“A criteria-based sharing rule determines which records to share based on field values, rather than who owns the record.” — Salesforce Help | Sharing Rules OverviewYou can define the rule to share all Opportunities where Type = 'Service Agreement' with all users in the Service Manager role.Exact Extract:“Use criteria-based sharing rules to share records based on record field values with roles, roles and subordinates, or public groups.” — Salesforce Help | Criteria-Based Sharing Rules

Why C (Criteria-Based Sharing Rule) is correct:Exact Extract:“A criteria-based sharing rule determines which records to share based on field values, rather than who owns the record.” — Salesforce Help | Sharing Rules OverviewYou can define the rule to share all Opportunities where Type = 'Service Agreement' with all users in the Service Manager role.Exact Extract:“Use criteria-based sharing rules to share records based on record field values with roles, roles and subordinates, or public groups.” — Salesforce Help | Criteria-Based Sharing Rules

Why not A (Manual Sharing):Manual sharing requires a user to share each record individually — it is not automated.

Why not B (Owner-Based Sharing Rule):Owner-based rules share records based on who owns them, not on a record field value.

Why not D (Apex Sharing Rule):Apex sharing is used only when declarative sharing rules cannot meet the requirement. In this case, a standard criteria-based rule is sufficient.

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

An indirect lookup relationship is a custom relationship between two objects that are linked by an external ID field. The external ID field must be a custom field on the parent object that has the “External ID” attribute enabled. The child object must be a standard or custom object that is on the detail side of a master-detail or lookup relationship.

A report type that is in a status of In Development is not available for users to select when creating a new report. The app builder needs to change the status to Deployed to make it visible to users

 The app builder needs to have NOT(ISBLANK([Lead].OwnerId)) in the criteria to ensure the process runs without error. This formula checks if the OwnerId field on the Lead object is not blank, which means that the lead is owned by a user or a queue. This will prevent the process from running on leads that are not owned by anyone, which could cause an error. Option A, B, and C are not formulas that can ensure the process runs without error.

The import wizard only allows values to be imported into a dependent picklist if they match the appropriate controlling field. This ensures data integrity and prevents invalid values from being imported. Custom picklist fields can be either controlling or dependent fields. This allows the app builder to create custom dependencies between custom picklists. Checkbox fields can be controlling fields but not dependent fields. This allows the app builder to create dependencies based on checkbox values, such as true or false. Multi-select picklist fields can be dependent picklist fields but not controlling fields. This allows the app builder to create dependencies based on multiple values selected in a multi-select picklist field. Standard and custom picklist fields can be dependent fields, but not all standard picklist fields can be controlling fields. Some standard picklist fields, such as Lead Status or Opportunity Stage, cannot be controlling fields because they are used in other processes, such as lead conversion or sales path

The primary object selection is locked once the custom report type has been saved. This means that the app builder cannot change the primary object later. The other options are not true.

To restrict visibility of the Jupiter field on the Solar System object specifically to users with the Outer Planets profile:

C. Field-level security (FLS). This allows the app builder to control access to fields based on user profiles.

Steps to set up field-level security:

Navigate to Setup → Object Manager → Solar System.

Select Fields & Relationships → Jupiter field.

Click Field-Level Security.

For all profiles except Outer Planets, set the Visible option to unchecked, ensuring these users cannot see the field.

For the Outer Planets profile, check Visible to grant access.

This configuration ensures that only users with the Outer Planets profile can view the Jupiter field.

For more information on field-level security, check Salesforce's guide on Field-Level Security.

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.

 The app builder should use two options to ensure all contracts route for the correct approval and also prevent the sales rep from making changes to the record while it is being approved:

Create an approval process on the Contract object with criteria set on a second approval step set as ‘Amount__c > 10,000’ and set the approver as director. An approval process is a type of process that automates how Salesforce records are approved in an organization. An approval process can have multiple steps with different criteria and approvers. In this case, the app builder can create an approval process on the Contract object with two steps: one for the sales manager approval and one for the director approval if the contract amount is over $10,0001.

Create a validation rule on the Contract object that prevents updates to the contract record while it is being reviewed. A validation rule is a type of rule that checks data quality by verifying that the data in a record meets certain standards before it can be saved. A validation rule can prevent users from making changes to a record that is in a certain status or stage. In this case, the app builder can create a validation rule on the Contract object that prevents updates to the contract record if its Approval Status field is not equal to Not Submitted2. Option B and D are not options that can ensure all contracts route for the correct approval and also prevent the sales rep from making changes to the record while it is being approved.

The three reasons user A has access but user B is unable to access the record are:

User A is on the same account team as user C. Account teams are groups of users who work together on an account. Users who are on an account team can have access to the account and related records owned by other team members.

User C has manually shared the record with user A. Manual sharing is a way of granting access to individual users or groups by the record owner or someone above them in the role hierarchy.

User A is in a public group that has access via a sharing rule. Public groups are groups of users who can be used to share data or assign permissions. Sharing rules are automatic rules that grant access to groups of users based on certain criteria. Option B and D are not reasons for user A’s access.

A quick action on the Account object can be used to create Opportunity records related to an Account. The quick action can pre-populate some fields based on the Account record, and also allow the user to input some fields. This would improve the process of creating Opportunity records

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.

 A geolocation field can be used to capture the coordinates of a location in latitude and longitude. This field type can also be used in reports, formulas, validation rules, and Apex

Email alert, task, and invocable flow are three action types that can be used in an approval process. Email alert can send an email message to one or more recipients. Task can assign a task to a user or queue. Invocable flow can launch a flow that performs complex logic and actions

To meet the requirement of summarizing the number of open and closed cases on an Account, two potential automation solutions can be used:

Option A (AppExchange): Salesforce AppExchange offers various pre-built apps and components, including those for case management, which could provide the functionality to summarize cases and categorize customer support utilization. Many apps can handle complex business requirements like case summary roll-ups and could meet the needs without custom development.

Salesforce AppExchange

Option D (Apex): Apex is Salesforce’s programming language that allows developers to implement custom logic. In this scenario, Apex could be used to create a trigger or scheduled job that calculates the number of open and closed cases and updates the Account record accordingly. Apex would allow full customization of how the open/closed case numbers are calculated and how customer support utilization (high, medium, low) is determined.

Changing custom field types may result in data loss if the new field type is incompatible with the old one. For example, changing a text field to a number field may cause text values to be deleted. Field history tracking records value changes of 255 characters or less. If a rich text field value exceeds this limit, only the first 255 characters are tracked.

The three Salesforce functionalities that are ignored when processing field updates in workflow rules and approval processes are:

Field-Level Security: This means that the field update will occur regardless of the user’s profile or permission set settings that determine whether they can see or edit the field1.

Validation Rules: This means that the field update will bypass any validation rules that might otherwise prevent the record from being saved1.

Decimal places and character limits: This means that the field update will round or truncate the value to fit the field’s format, without throwing an error

 Sales rep B has implicit access to the Account because of the manual sharing of the Opportunity. Implicit sharing grants access to parent records when a user has access to a child record. Sales rep B was not added to the Account team, sharing set is not applicable for private sharing model, and Account was not manually shared.

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.

The app builder should add the field to the custom report type field layout to troubleshoot this issue. A custom report type is a type of report that defines which objects and fields are available for reporting. The app builder can customize which fields are included in each custom report type by editing its field layout. If a new field is added to an object that is part of an unmanaged package, it will not be automatically added to the custom report type field layout. The app builder needs to manually add it to make it available as an option to add as a column in reports based on that custom report type. Option A, B, and D are not steps that can troubleshoot this issue.

 To manually share individual records with specific people or group of people on a case by case basis, users can use public groups, roles, or users. Public groups are collections of users, roles, or other groups that can be used to share access to records. Roles define the level of access that users have to their organization’s data based on their position in the hierarchy. Users are individual people who log in to Salesforce and have access to records based on their profile, role, and sharing settings. 

The validation rule should check if the user role is not Marketing, and if the Retail Opt In field has been changed to Yes. The ISCHANGED function returns true if the field value has been changed, and the ISPICKVAL function returns true if the field value matches a specified picklist value. 

Criteria-based sharing rules are the best tool to use for automatically sharing records based on specific criteria, such as the opportunity type being "Service Agreement." This rule can share opportunities with all users in a particular role, such as the Service Manager role, when the criteria are met, thereby adhering to the private sharing model while still providing necessary access.

A: Owner-based sharing rules focus on the record owner's role or group, not the record type.

C: Apex sharing is used for more complex scenarios not easily handled by declarative sharing settings.

 A record-triggered flow can be used to automate actions when a record is created or updated. In this case, a record-triggered flow can be configured to create a new opportunity and send an email to the contracts team when an opportunity is marked as closed won.

The best Lightning component to add to the layout to display the ‘New Task’ custom action is Highlights panel. This component shows key information and actions for a record, such as its name, owner, and custom actions. Related record, related lists, and activities are not Lightning components that display custom actions. See [this article] for more information on Highlights panel.

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

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.

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.

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]

To have automatic posts on a record whenever a travel request has been approved, feed tracking should be used. Feed tracking enables field updates to be displayed in the Chatter feed of a record or a user profile. Users can follow records or users to see updates in their own feed. Feed tracking can be enabled for standard or custom objects and selected fields.

Ursa Major Solar requires a new field called Planet Details on the Planet object, where users can write detailed descriptions that can include pictures and links. The Rich Text Area field type is the best fit for this requirement.

Option B (Rich Text Area): A Rich Text Area field allows users to enter text with formatting options such as bold, italics, bullets, and numbering. Additionally, it supports inserting images and hyperlinks, which matches the requirement of including pictures and links in the description.

Rich Text Area Fields

Option A (Long Text Area): A Long Text Area field allows for lengthy text input but does not support formatting or embedding of images and links, which are necessary in this case.

Option C (Multi-Select Picklist): A Multi-Select Picklist allows users to select multiple values from a list but is not suitable for detailed descriptions or embedding images and links.

Option D (URL): A URL field is used to store and display a link but does not support text input or embedding images.

In summary, the Rich Text Area field type should be used because it allows formatted text, images, and links, which are required for the Planet Details field.

 Global actions can be accessed anywhere actions are pages, feed and Chatter groups. This is correct because global actions are not tied to a specific object, and they can be added to any page that supports actions, such as record pages, home pages, feed pages, and Chatter groups.

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]

The issue described occurs due to the settings in the master-detail relationship. Specifically:

The Allow reparenting checkbox, Child records can be reparented to other parent records after they are created, is unchecked (B). This setting prevents changing the parent record (contact) of a child record (service plan) once it has been set. If 'Allow reparenting' is unchecked, it restricts the ability to change the associated contact, leading to the issue observed.

The other options do not directly address the inability to change the associated contact on a service plan record. The 'Read Only' and 'Read/Write' settings (A and C) pertain to access rights to the detail records based on the master record's access but do not affect the ability to reparent a record.

For a detailed understanding of master-detail relationships and their settings, including reparenting, see the Salesforce documentation on relationships:

Master-Detail Relationships: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=relationships_considerations.htm &type=5

When a master-detail relationship is created between two objects, Salesforce automatically creates a standard report type that allows users to report on the parent and child together.

Why A (Galaxy__c with Star__c) is correct:Exact Extract:“When you create a master-detail relationship, Salesforce automatically creates a primary report type that includes records from both the master and its detail.” — Salesforce Help | Standard Report TypesTherefore, a “Galaxy__c with Star__c” report type is automatically generated, allowing users to create reports showing all child records (Star__c) related to each parent (Galaxy__c).

Why A (Galaxy__c with Star__c) is correct:Exact Extract:“When you create a master-detail relationship, Salesforce automatically creates a primary report type that includes records from both the master and its detail.” — Salesforce Help | Standard Report TypesTherefore, a “Galaxy__c with Star__c” report type is automatically generated, allowing users to create reports showing all child records (Star__c) related to each parent (Galaxy__c).

Why not B:The parent-to-child relationship drives the report type. A “Star__c with Galaxy__c” type is not automatically created.

Why not C or D:Custom report types are only needed if you want to include additional related objects or modify relationships; Salesforce automatically provides one for master-detail pairs.

Create a Chatter stream. This is correct because a Chatter stream allows users to follow multiple records and people in one feed, and filter the feed by selecting a stream.

 Apex. This is correct because Apex is a programming language that can perform complex logic and manipulate data in Salesforce. Apex can be used to create a trigger on the opportunity object that copies the value of the billing state from the related account record when the opportunity is created, and prevents it from being changed afterwards. The other options are not suitable for this requirement because they either cannot copy data from a related object (formula field, roll-up summary field) or cannot prevent data from being changed (workflow).

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.

 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

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.

The two tools that an app builder could combine to display the number of open cases on the account page are Flow and Process Builder. Flow is a tool that allows the app builder to create a declarative automation that can query, manipulate, and display data from multiple objects. Process Builder is a tool that allows the app builder to create a trigger-based automation that can invoke a Flow when a record is created or updated. By using these two tools, the app builder can create a solution that can query the number of open cases for the account and parent account and display them on the account page using a screen element. Workflow is not a suitable tool, as it cannot query or display data from multiple objects. It can only perform actions such as field updates, email alerts, tasks, or outbound messages. Approval Process is not a suitable tool, as it is used to automate the approval of records based on certain criteria and predefined steps. It cannot query or display data from multiple objects.

The app builder should select Enhanced List for the Related List type for the Related List Lightning component. Enhanced List allows users to see ten fields and sort and wrap text on their Related Lists. Option B is incorrect because Basic List only allows users to see four fields and does not support sorting or wrapping text on their Related Lists. Option C is incorrect because ListView does not show Related Lists on record pages, but rather shows list views on object home pages or tabs. Option D is incorrect because List Class is not a valid Related List type.

TODAY() is the function that should be used to return a date for calculating the difference between today and the date a marketing communication was sent. According to the Salesforce documentation, “TODAY() returns the current date as a Date value.” DATETIMEVALUE() converts a text value into a Date/Time value. DATEVALUE() converts a Date/Time value into a Date value. NOW() returns the current Date/Time value.

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

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

In the Lightning App Builder, the following standard components can be used to enhance the functionality of Lightning pages:

B. Rich text: Allows the inclusion of formatted text, links, and images on a page.

D. Report details: Enables embedding of specific report details directly on a page.

E. Recent items: Displays a list of recently accessed items relevant to the user.

Steps to add these components:

Open the Lightning App Builder via Setup → Edit Page or when creating a new Lightning page.

Drag and drop the Rich text, Report details, and Recent items components from the standard components section onto the page layout.

Configure each component as needed (e.g., selecting a specific report for the Report details component).

For more on using these components, refer to Salesforce's guide on Standard Lightning Components.

To import opportunities with the proper country currency, the app builder needs to include the currency ISO code in all currency fields in the import file, and use Data Loader to import the records. Data Loader supports importing multiple currencies, while Import Wizard does not. The currency ISO code column in the import file specifies the currency for each record

The full sandbox should be refreshed after each major release to production. This way, the full sandbox will have the most updated data and metadata from the production org, and can be used for final load and regression testing before the next release. Option A is incorrect because refreshing the full sandbox after user acceptance testing is complete is not necessary, as user acceptance testing can be done in the partial data sandbox or the production org. Option B is incorrect because refreshing the full sandbox after each push from the partial data sandbox is not necessary, as the full sandbox can receive configuration and code changes from the partial data sandbox without refreshing. Option D is incorrect because refreshing the full sandbox after a new user is added to production is not necessary, as adding a new user does not affect the data and metadata in the full sandbox.

Related record and Tabs. These are correct because the related record component allows service agents to view and edit fields from a related record on the same page, and the tabs component allows service agents to switch between different views of related lists or other components on the same page.

When activating a Lightning page from the Lightning App Builder, three options are available:

Assign the page to a combination of apps and profiles. This option allows users to specify which apps and profiles will see the custom Lightning page instead of the default page.

Make the page the org default. This option makes the custom Lightning page the default for all users in the org regardless of their app or profile.

Make the page the default homepage for specific apps. This option allows users to set different homepages for different apps in Lightning Experience. [Source]
