Salesforce Platform-App-Builder Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder (Plat-Admn-202) Exam Practice Test

The app builder needs to do two steps to make the custom Lightning App available to the internal users at Universal Containers:

Create a subdomain using My Domain: My Domain is a feature that allows an organization to set up a custom domain name for their Salesforce instance. This is required to use custom Lightning components and apps in Salesforce1.

Build a Custom Tab for the app: A custom tab is a tab that displays any custom object or web page in Salesforce. This is required to make the custom Lightning App accessible from the navigation menu or app launcher2. Option A and B are not necessary steps to make the custom Lightning App available to the internal users.

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

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.

The best actions to take to avoid creating duplicate leads when uploading a list of 400 leads are to utilize a Lead Matching Rule and corresponding Duplicate Rule to block newly created duplicate leads, and to upload the lead list using the import wizard and select a Matching type to prevent duplicate lead creation. The Lead Matching Rule defines the criteria for identifying duplicate leads, and the Duplicate Rule defines the actions to take when a duplicate is detected. The import wizard allows users to choose a Matching type based on the Lead Matching Rule and block or allow duplicates. Using Data Loader’s update function or enabling Duplicate Matching in the Data Management section will not prevent duplicate lead creation.

 The best feature to use to ensure consistent case priority entry is Path. Path allows users to see key fields and guidance for each stage of a process, such as a case lifecycle. Path can also enforce data quality by making certain fields required at each stage. See [this article] for more information on Path.

The solution that an app builder should use to meet this requirement is master-detail relationship. A master-detail relationship is a type of relationship that creates a parent-child relationship between two objects, where the child records inherit the sharing and security settings of their parent record. The app builder can create a master-detail relationship between Supplier__c and SupplierItem__c objects, where Supplier__c is the parent object and SupplierItem__c is the child object. This way, when a Supplier__c record is deleted, all related SupplierItem__c records are also deleted automatically. Option A is incorrect because many-to-many relationship is not suitable for this requirement, as many-to-many relationship allows two objects to be linked in both directions through a junction object, but does not support cascading delete. Option B is incorrect because indirect lookup relationship is not suitable for this requirement, as indirect lookup relationship allows an external object to link with another object using an external ID field, but does not support cascading delete. Option C is incorrect because hierarchical relationship is not suitable for this requirement, as hierarchical relationship allows users to use a lookup field that links an object with itself, but does not support cascading delete.

The feature that the app builder should use to solve this issue is component visibility filter. A component visibility filter is a setting that can be applied to a Lightning component on a record page to control when the component is hidden or displayed based on certain conditions. The app builder can use a component visibility filter to hide the component from users with a Marketing profile. Option A is incorrect because detail page layouts are not related to Lightning components, but rather the fields and related lists that appear on record detail pages. Option C is incorrect because field-level security is not related to Lightning components, but rather the access level of fields for different profiles or permission sets. Option D is incorrect because AppExchange is not related to Lightning components, but rather an online marketplace where users can find and install apps and components.

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 manage frequently changing picklist values effectively:

B. Set up Global Values in Picklist Value Sets. This approach allows for centralized management of picklist values that can be reused across multiple fields and objects. By using global value sets, inactive values can be efficiently managed and deactivated without impacting fields that use these sets.

For further information on managing picklists, check Salesforce's Picklist Management guide.

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.

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.

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.

Changing the data type of custom fields in Salesforce has specific limitations that need to be considered to ensure system integrity and prevent errors:

A. It is not possible to change the data type of a formula field to any data type. Formula fields are calculated based on other field values and cannot be converted into a storage data type because they do not store data themselves.

D. It is not possible to change the data type of a Text Area (Long) field to Text. Text Area (Long) fields support up to 131,072 characters, which far exceeds the 255 character limit of standard Text fields. Converting such a field to a smaller capacity field would potentially lead to data truncation or loss.

For official guidance on data type changes, refer to Salesforce's Custom Field Considerations.

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.

The best solution to enable reps to see and access the most-used components from anywhere within the app without leaving the page they are working on is Utility bar. This is a footer that can be added to any Lightning app and can contain tools such as history, notes, or softphone. Favorites, home page, and global actions are not solutions that provide access to components from anywhere within the app. See [this article] for more information on Utility bar.

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.

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

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.

The best choice for capturing geographic location data, such as crossroads or location markers provided by customers, is the Geolocation field type. This field type stores latitude and longitude data, allowing accurate pinpointing of locations on a map. Geolocation fields are suitable for any application that needs to handle coordinates for mapping and proximity calculations.

A: Number field is not specific enough for geographical coordinates.

C: Reference fields link to other records, not geographical data.

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.

To show Component as a related list on Product, a lookup relationship on Component to Product should be created. A lookup relationship creates a loose association between two objects and allows users to relate records from one object to another. A lookup relationship also allows users to add the related list of the child object to the parent object’s page layout.

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.

 Create a validation rule on the Account object is how the app builder can keep accounts with open opportunities from being deleted. According to the Salesforce documentation, “Validation rules verify that data entered by users in records meet the standards you specify before they can save it.” A validation rule can check if an account has any open opportunities and display an error message if someone tries to delete it. Create an Apex trigger on the Account object, remove the delete button on the account layout, and remove the Delete permission from the Sales Rep profile are not valid or sufficient solutions for this requirement.

A flow is an application that automates a business process by collecting data and performing operations in your org or an external system. Flows can also manipulate data in your org by creating, updating, deleting, or submitting records for approval. You can use flows to update fields on related records when a certain event occurs, such as closing a work order. In this case, a flow can be used to update the last maintenance date field on the Asset record when a maintenance work order gets closed.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

A text-only Visualforce page can be used to show a text notification on a case record page based on a condition. The Visualforce component can be dragged into the Case Lightning page and its visibility can be set to show when the account support level is platinum. This is the simplest and most flexible way to meet the requirement

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

A: Changing the Lead Matching Rule to 'Block on create' will directly prevent duplicates at the point of lead creation based on defined criteria.

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.

 Preexisting information will remain even if it was over 255 characters if the app builder tries to convert a preexisting long text area field to text area. However, users will not be able to edit or save records with more than 255 characters in that field until they reduce the number of characters. Preexisting information will not truncate, be lost, or cause an error message.

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.

The setting for the visibility of custom tabs is default off for all users when they are deployed via change sets without including the profile settings or permission sets. This means that the custom tabs are not visible in any apps or navigation menus for any users unless they are manually added by each user or by an administrator3. Option B, C, and D are not correct settings for the visibility of custom tabs.

To provide a help guide to enable reps to easily get help where needed during the different sales processes, an app builder should recommend Path. Path is a component that displays the key fields and guidance for each stage of a sales process on an object’s record page. Users can see where they are in the process, update the stage and fields, and access resources such as tips and links. [Source]

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 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.

Lookup is the type of relationship that would be set up to meet the specification of pairing experienced Realtors with new Realtors. According to the Salesforce documentation, “A lookup relationship creates a loose association between objects. The lookup field allows users to select a record from another object.” Indirect lookup is used for junction objects on different platforms. Many-to-many is not a type of relationship, but a result of using junction objects. Master-detail is used for creating parent-child relationships.

Given the need to automate a welcome email including a customized survey with customization requirements and a tight timeline, the best approach is:

Use Salesforce Flow to build the survey declaratively to meet the criteria and send it to the customer as an email (B). Flow is a powerful tool for automation in Salesforce, allowing the creation of complex workflows and user interactions without needing to write custom code. It can be used to build a survey and integrate it with email services for automated dispatch.

Working with a developer to create custom Apex and LWC (A) might meet the criteria but would not align with the limited time frame. Managed (C) and unmanaged packages (D) from AppExchange can provide pre-built solutions, but they may not offer the needed customization or could require more setup time than building directly in Flow.

Reference for automating processes with Salesforce Flow:

Salesforce Flow: &type=5

Changing the data type of a field used in an apex class from number to text will require the app builder to perform additional steps in order to retain existing functionalities. This is because changing the data type of a field may affect the apex code that references or manipulates the field value, and may cause compilation errors or unexpected results. The app builder will need to update the apex code to handle the new data type and ensure that the logic and calculations are still correct. Option B is incorrect because changing the data type of a field used in a report from a text to an encrypted field will not require additional steps, as encrypted fields can still be used in reports with some limitations. Option C is incorrect because changing the data type of a field used as an external id from number to text will not require additional steps, as external id fields can be either number or text. Option D is incorrect because changing the data type of a field used in lead conversion from number to text will not require additional steps, as lead conversion fields can be mapped regardless of their data types.

 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.

The best type of sandbox for each team member to use is a developer sandbox. A developer sandbox is a copy of production that includes only the metadata, such as objects, fields, layouts, etc. It does not include any data, such as records or attachments. A developer sandbox is ideal for small projects that do not require data testing, such as developing new features or customizations. A developer sandbox has a storage limit of 200 MB and can be refreshed once per day. A developer sandbox is also cheaper than other types of sandboxes. A full sandbox is a copy of production that includes all the metadata and data. It is ideal for large projects that require data testing, such as performance testing or integration testing. A full sandbox has the same storage limit as production and can be refreshed every 29 days. A full sandbox is also the most expensive type of sandbox. A developer pro sandbox is similar to a developer sandbox, but it has a larger storage limit of 1 GB and can be refreshed every 5 days. It is ideal for projects that require some data testing, such as data migration or quality assurance testing. A partial sandbox is similar to a full sandbox, but it has a smaller storage limit of 5 GB and can be refreshed every 5 days. It is ideal for projects that require selective data testing, such as user acceptance testing or staging testing

All data should be backed up before converting a text field to a picklist, as some data may be lost or truncated during the conversion. Changing a field type will remove existing field history, as the history tracking values are not converted

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 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.

When creating a new field, if an app builder does not want the field to be automatically added to pre-existing custom report types, the step to take is:

Deselect 'Add Field to Custom Report Types' (D). This option is available when creating or editing a custom field and ensures that the field is not automatically included in report types where 'Automatically add new custom fields to report type layouts' is enabled.

Removing the field from page layouts (A) affects the visibility on record pages but not reports. Adjusting visibility (B) or setting read-only access (C) for report profiles affects user permissions to see the field in reports, but does not remove the field from report types if it was previously added.

Reference for managing fields in custom report types:

Custom Report Types and Fields: &type=5

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.

Set the Organization-Wide Default to Private for accounts and create criteria-based sharing rules for each marketing team are the actions that can accomplish the requirement of restricting access to accounts based on region and role. Setting the Organization-Wide Default to Private will limit access to accounts to only owners and administrators. Creating criteria-based sharing rules will grant additional access to accounts based on region for each marketing team. Creating an Inside Sales Team profile with the “View All” setting for accounts will grant access to all accounts for the inside sales team. Update the Sales profile, update the organization-wide defaults to Public for accounts, create profiles for each marketing team, create permission sets for each marketing team, and create an Inside Sales Team role are not necessary or sufficient actions for this requirement.

For an app builder who needs to ensure all fields from the page layout are visible on a Lightning Record Page after using the Lightning Object Creator, the correct component to use is:

Record Detail (C). The Record Detail component automatically displays all fields that are included on the assigned page layout for the object. It is designed to reflect the layout configuration and is the simplest way to ensure all fields are presented as configured in the layout editor.

Highlights Panel (A) is used primarily to display key fields at the top of the record page, providing a summary view rather than full field visibility. Recommendations (B) is used for displaying prompts or suggestions and does not display record fields. Path (D) is useful for displaying stages in a process (like sales stages or service processes) and does not show field data directly.

Reference for setting up Lightning Record Pages and using components effectively:

Lightning Record Pages: &type=5

Opportunities are in a master-detail-like relationship with Accounts (standard lookup behaves with special roll-up capabilities). Salesforce provides a standard roll-up summary feature on the Account object to count related Opportunities.

Why B (Roll-up Summary) is correct:Exact Extract:“Use a roll-up summary field to automatically display a value from related detail records on a master record. You can count related records, or calculate the sum, min, or max of a field on those records.” — Salesforce Help | Roll-Up Summary FieldsOn Account, you can create a roll-up summary field to COUNT related Opportunities.

You can count related records, or calculate the sum, min, or max of a field on those records.” — Salesforce Help | Roll-Up Summary FieldsOn Account, you can create a roll-up summary field to COUNT related Opportunities.

Why not A:Formula fields cannot count related records.

Why not C:AppExchange is not required; Salesforce provides native functionality.

Why not D:A lookup only links records—it does not perform aggregation.

The lead settings have an option to require validation for converted leads. If this option is unchecked, then the Account validation rules will not be enforced when a lead is converted to an Account. This could result in missing or incorrect information on the Account records

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.

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.

To test a picklist field in a formula, ISPICKVAL must be used. To check if the CloseDate is within 7 days of the current date, you can use simple date arithmetic (CloseDate - 7 < TODAY()).

Why A is correct:Exact Extract:“Use ISPICKVAL to determine if a picklist field has a specific value.” — Salesforce Help | ISPICKVAL Function“Date formulas can use arithmetic to compare a date to TODAY(). For example, CloseDate - 7 < TODAY() returns TRUE if CloseDate is within the next week.” — Salesforce Help | Date Functions and Operators

Why not B:Picklist fields cannot be compared with =; this formula would fail to compile.

Why not C or D:The function DAY() returns the day of the month from a date — not a duration. DAY(7) is invalid in this context.

For tracking whether contracts have been sent for Opportunities:

D. Checkbox. This field type allows users to clearly indicate (Yes/No) whether a contract has been sent. This binary nature of checkboxes makes it simple to filter and report on Opportunities based on whether a contract was sent.

Steps to configure this field:

Navigate to Setup → Object Manager → Opportunity.

Click Fields & Relationships → New → Checkbox.

Define the field with a label (e.g., Contract Sent).

Set the default value to false (unchecked).

Add the field to the relevant page layouts.

This setup facilitates accurate reporting and ensures that opportunities cannot be marked as "Closed Won" without indicating whether a contract was sent.

For guidance on creating fields, see Salesforce's documentation on Custom Field Creation.

UMS wants each Application to connect both to a Job Candidate and an Open Position, where:

One Job Candidate can apply for multiple Open Positions.

One Open Position can receive multiple Applications.This is a many-to-many relationship, which in Salesforce is implemented by using a junction object.

In this case, Application__c serves as the junction object between Job_Candidate__c and Open_Position__c.

Exact Extract:

“To create a many-to-many relationship, create two master-detail relationships on the junction object. Each master-detail relationship links the junction object to one of the objects you want to relate.” — Salesforce Help | Create a Many-to-Many Relationship

Step 1: On Application__c, create a Master-Detail relationship to Job_Candidate__c (Answer C).

Step 2: On Application__c, create a Master-Detail relationship to Open_Position__c (Answer D).

This setup allows:

Viewing all Applications related to a given Job Candidate.

Viewing all Applications related to a given Open Position.

Exact Extract:

“A junction object is a custom object with two master-detail relationships, and it is the key to building many-to-many relationships between two objects.” — Salesforce Help | Junction Object Concepts

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 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.

For Universal Containers to understand the return on investment (ROI) for their latest advertising buy while using a private security model, the best recommendation is to use Campaign Hierarchies and Campaign statistics.

Campaign Hierarchies and Campaign Statistics: Campaign hierarchies allow Universal Containers to track the effectiveness and ROI of marketing efforts by grouping related campaigns (e.g., advertising buys) under a parent campaign and rolling up key metrics like responses, converted leads, and won opportunities. Campaign statistics provide detailed insights into individual and aggregate campaign performance, helping calculate ROI.

This method works well within a private security model since it respects existing sharing rules and access controls, ensuring that only authorized users can see the campaign data.

Option A (Account Hierarchies and Roll-Up Summary fields): Account hierarchies and roll-up summary fields focus on aggregating account-level data, which doesn’t directly support measuring the ROI of advertising campaigns.

Option B (Opportunities Pipeline Report): While an opportunities pipeline report can provide insights into sales, it doesn’t track campaign-related data or advertising ROI directly.

Option C (Change to a Public Security Model): Changing to a public security model isn’t necessary and could expose sensitive data. Campaign hierarchies and statistics work well with a private security model.

In summary, Campaign Hierarchies and Campaign Statistics are the recommended approach to track the ROI of advertising buys.

Guided Action Flows (Screen Flows embedded in Lightning record pages) can walk agents through required steps — such as verifying identity — before proceeding.

Why A (Guided Action Flows) is correct:Exact Extract:“Use Guided Action Flows in Lightning App Builder to help agents complete processes in a step-by-step format directly on a record page.” — Salesforce Help | Guided Action FlowsThe app builder can embed a Screen Flow that prompts the agent to verify identity (e.g., asking security questions), then allows access or marks verification complete.

Why not B:Path helps users track record stages, not enforce procedural steps.

Why not C:Surveys are used for feedback collection after cases, not real-time identity verification.

Why not D:Validation Rules enforce data quality on record save, not process guidance.

The formula for creating a visual indicator flag on each case based on the case priority should use the IMAGE and CASE functions. The IMAGE function returns an image for a given URL, and the CASE function evaluates an expression and returns a value based on that expression. Option A and D use these functions correctly, while option B and C do not.

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 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.

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.

 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 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 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 app builder should recommend a workflow rule to automate this process. A workflow rule is a type of automation tool that can execute actions based on certain criteria. In this case, the workflow rule can have a criterion that evaluates if the DoNotCall checkbox is checked on a Contact record, and then execute a field update action that sets the Phone field to null. Option A, B, and C are not automation tools that can perform this task.

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.

The two steps that should be suggested to meet these requirements are to select insert null values in settings and to use Data Loader to update leads using the CSV file. Selecting insert null values in settings will allow Data Loader to overwrite existing values with null values. Data Loader is a tool that can import, export, update, or delete large amounts of data.

It lacks setting up field-level security and adding fields to the page layout, so you have to choose the manual way of field creation. Adds another layer of risk with changes in Schema Builder since it is deployed in real-time.

Salesforce Schema Builder is a powerful tool for visualizing and creating objects, fields, and relationships in Salesforce, but it has certain limitations when building custom objects.

Option B (Fields and relationships can be created, but they will be unable to add the fields to the page layout from the canvas): In Schema Builder, while you can create new custom objects, fields, and relationships, you cannot directly add fields to the page layout from within the Schema Builder interface. After creating a field, you need to navigate to the Page Layout Editor to manually place the new field on the layout.

Schema Builder Overview

Option A: This is incorrect because you can perform multiple actions within Schema Builder without needing to click Save each time. Salesforce will save these changes when you click Save once at the end.

Option C: While relationships can be created in Schema Builder for both standard and custom objects, there is no requirement to use Lightning Object Manager to create relationships with standard objects.

Option D: Schema Builder supports the creation of formula fields along with other types of fields. There is no exclusion for formula fields.

In summary, Option B is the correct limitation of Schema Builder: you cannot add fields to page layouts directly from the Schema Builder interface.

To manage field editability based on the opportunity status:

C. Use field-level security on page layouts with record types to restrict editing fields. This combination allows for different layouts and editable fields based on the status of the record (e.g., closed or open).

Steps to implement:

Create or adjust record types for open and closed opportunities.

For each record type, create a specific page layout.

On the page layout for closed opportunities, set the majority of fields to read-only using field-level security, except for the 'Post-Close Follow-up Date' and 'Post-Close Follow-up Comments' fields.

Assign the appropriate page layouts to the respective record types.

Update profiles or permission sets to use these record types and page layouts accordingly.

This setup ensures that sales reps can modify fields only when the opportunity is open, and the sales operations team can edit specific fields after closure.

For more information on using record types and page layouts, check Salesforce's documentation on Record Types.

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.

 Removing the Delete permission from the Shipper profile and using a permission set to remove the Delete permission are both valid ways to prevent users from deleting delivery records. Removing the delete button from the Delivery page layout will not prevent users from deleting records using other methods, such as list views or reports. Changing the organization-wide default of deliveries to Private will not affect the delete permission, but only the sharing settings.

For reporting snapshots, the source report must be capable of grouping data, which is necessary for summarizing information at specific intervals. The acceptable formats for a source report in reporting snapshots are:

Summary format (B). This format groups rows of data by one or more criteria and can perform calculations such as sum, average, etc., on another column at each group level.

Matrix format (D). Similar to the summary format but arranges data in a grid format, allowing summarization by both rows and columns.

Tabular (A) and joined (C) formats are not suitable for reporting snapshots. Tabular reports do not include grouped or summarized data, and joined reports involve combining multiple report types, which are not compatible with how reporting snapshots need to structure data.

The two considerations that should be made are: The Star records are all required to have an existing value in their Galaxy field. This is a prerequisite for converting a lookup relationship to a master-detail relationship. A lookup relationship is an optional relationship that links two objects together, but does not enforce referential integrity or cascade delete. A master-detail relationship is a required relationship that links two objects together and enforces referential integrity and cascade delete. To convert a lookup relationship to a master-detail relationship, all child records must have a value in their lookup field that references an existing parent record. The Galaxy object has fewer than two existing master-detail relationships. This is another prerequisite for converting a lookup relationship to a master-detail relationship. An object can have up to two master-detail relationships with other objects and can act as both the parent and child in different relationships. To convert a lookup relationship to a master-detail relationship, the parent object must have fewer than two existing master-detail relationships with other objects. The Galaxy object is required to contain existing roll-up summary fields is not a valid consideration, as it is not related to converting a lookup relationship to a master-detail relationship. 

 The recommended solution to grant the customer service agent access to the field is creating a permission set that allows read-only access to the field via Field Level Security and assigning it to the agent. A permission set is a collection of settings and permissions that give users access to various tools and functions. Field Level Security (FLS) is a setting that controls the access level of fields for different profiles or permission sets. The app builder can create a permission set that grants read-only access to the custom field on the account object via FLS and assign it to the agent. Option B is incorrect because creating a new profile to allow for read-only access to the field via FLS and assigning it to the agent is not recommended, as profiles are used to define the baseline permissions and settings for a group of users, and creating multiple profiles for individual users can be hard to maintain. Option C is incorrect because updating the Customer Service Profile already assigned to the agent to allow for read-only access to the field via FLS is not recommended, as this will affect all users who have the same profile, which may violate the security policy. Option D is incorrect because updating the custom field’s FLS in setup to allow the agent read-only access to the field is not possible, as FLS can only be set at the profile or permission set level, not at the user level.

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

 Launch a new approval process that has automatic submission enabled as an initial submission action, and Create a new approval process that has automatic submission enabled in the entry criteria. These are correct because both options allow the deals to be automatically submitted for approval without requiring any action from the sales rep. The automatic submission can be configured either as an initial submission action or as part of the entry criteria

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.

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 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: &type=5

Making the Opportunity type a required field on the initial Opportunity page layout and using automation to fill in the type field to a record type is a way to limit the number of fields users are required to fill out when creating a new Opportunity. This way, the app builder can assign different page layouts for different record types based on the Opportunity type. The other options are not feasible or effective

Customers who are invited to Chatter groups can only interact with members of their groups. They cannot invite other members, @mention accounts, or request access to public groups

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.

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.
