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

A (Feed Tracking) allows Salesforce to automatically post updates to the Opportunity feed when certain fields (like Close Date) change.Exact Extract:“Feed tracking lets users see updates to records they follow. When feed tracking is enabled on an object, field changes appear in the feed.” — Salesforce Help | Feed Tracking Overview

C (Record-Triggered Flow + Chatter Post) allows real-time automated notifications to specific users (e.g., Sales Managers) when the Close Date changes.Exact Extract:“You can automate notifications by creating a record-triggered flow that posts to Chatter or sends notifications when specified conditions are met.” — Salesforce Help | Flow Builder Notifications

Why not B:Outbound messages are used for system-to-system communication, not internal notifications.

Why not D:Historical Trending is for reporting over time, not notifications or tracking.

The email button item will not be visible on the Lightning record page if the page layout includes the case feed component or if the email button contains JavaScript. The case feed component replaces the standard buttons on the page layout with actions in the feed. The email button item will not work if it contains JavaScript because JavaScript buttons are not supported in Lightning Experience.

The common items that can be moved using a change set are custom object, Apex class, and custom field. These are metadata components that can be deployed from one environment to another using change sets. Web-to-lead and standard fields are not metadata components that can be moved using change sets.

The app builder should recommend UC use Salesforce Connect to access the assets in real-time data in Salesforce. Salesforce Connect is a feature that allows users to view, search, and modify data that is stored outside Salesforce, such as in an external system. Salesforce Connect uses external objects and external data sources to integrate data from various sources without copying or synchronizing it2. This can help UC access their assets in real-time without consuming data storage limits in Salesforce. Option A, C, and D are not features that can meet this requirement.

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.

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

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.

The Highlights Panel in the Lightning Record Page displays key fields and record actions prominently at the top of the page, exactly as described in the requirement.

Why A (Highlights Panel) is correct:Exact Extract:“The highlights panel displays important fields and key record actions at the top of the record page in Lightning Experience.” — Salesforce Help | Highlights Panel

Why not B:Path is used to visualize progress through stages (e.g., Opportunity Stage), not display multiple fields.

Why not C:A custom component is unnecessary since the standard Highlights Panel fulfills the requirement.

Why not D:Accordion is used to organize information in collapsible sections, not display key fields at the top.

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 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.

 One of the easiest ways to display real-time stock price for each account is to install a solution from the AppExchange, such as Stock Price Lightning Component3. This component can be added to any record page using the Lightning App Builder.

 

 

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.

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

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

Record Access and Role Hierarchies

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

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.

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

To create a custom object along with multiple fields and relationships efficiently from a single interface, the Schema Builder is the ideal tool:

A. Schema Builder. This graphical tool provides a drag-and-drop interface for creating and modifying objects and fields in Salesforce, allowing for a visual layout of database schema.

Steps to use Schema Builder:

Go to Setup → Schema Builder.

Drag the 'Object' element into the schema area to create a new custom object.

Define the object's properties (e.g., label, API name).

Drag field elements like Text, Number, or Lookup into the object to create fields.

Configure each field's properties according to your requirements.

Connect objects via lookup or master-detail relationships by dragging the relationship fields between them.

Save the layout to create all elements in Salesforce.

For more information, review Salesforce's Schema Builder documentation.

 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

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

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.

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.

An Approval Process is the appropriate feature to manage and enforce that new vendors accept terms on agreements before an opportunity can be closed. This process can be configured to require approvals from designated approvers when certain conditions are met, ensuring that all necessary agreements are in place and validated before proceeding.

A: Email Alert cannot enforce acceptance of terms.

B: Dynamic Action primarily adjusts the user interface based on field values, not process management.

Formula fields in Salesforce can use various functions including text, mathematical, and logical functions to create simple or complex expressions. They can handle data from fields of the same record. Option C, "A combination of the Opportunity's Text and a Description fields," is a valid configuration for a formula field as it involves simple concatenation of text fields, which is supported.

Options A, B, and D exceed the capabilities of formula fields:

A: Hyperlinks to other objects using formula fields do not directly support navigation to parent records of a different object.

B: Rich Text and HTML formatting are not supported in formula fields.

Roll-up summaries allow MAX, MIN, SUM, COUNT, and AVG functions on numeric fields from child records related by a master-detail relationship. Roll-up summaries are limited to master-detail relationships and cannot be used with lookup relationships. An object can have up to 40 roll-up summary fields, not 25. An object can have up to 25 relationship fields (master-detail or lookup), not 20.

When attempting to change a master-detail relationship to a lookup relationship, Salesforce imposes specific restrictions to maintain data integrity:

C. The Account record includes Parks roll-up summary fields. Master-detail relationships allow roll-up summary fields to aggregate data from child records onto the parent record. If any roll-up summary fields are present on the master object (Account in this case) that depend on the detail records (Parks), the relationship cannot be changed to lookup until these roll-up summary fields are removed.

To resolve this, follow these steps:

Identify and delete all roll-up summary fields on the Account object that reference the Park object.

Convert the master-detail relationship to a lookup relationship.

Recreate any necessary roll-ups using declarative tools like Process Builder or Flow if needed, as lookups do not support native roll-up summaries.

For more guidance, review Salesforce's documentation on Changing Field Types.

 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 "Accordion" Lightning component is designed to break up content into collapsible sections. This component would be suitable for managing the visibility of large numbers of fields by grouping them into separate tabs or sections that can expand and collapse. This makes navigation easier and declutters the interface.

A: Highlights panel is used for displaying key record information at the top of the page and is not designed for managing multiple fields.

B: Record detail displays all fields on a single layout, which does not suit the requirement to break up the fields.

C: Field section does not exist as a standard Lightning component. Reference: Accordion Component in the Lightning Component Library

 The two features of Chatter that would meet CK’s business needs are: Set up new public Chatter groups. A public Chatter group is a way to create a collaborative space for users to share information, files, polls, and ideas around a common topic or interest. A public Chatter group can be joined by any user in the organization and can be seen by anyone who has access to Chatter. By setting up new public Chatter groups, CK can enable users to socialize and collaborate around customer accounts and discuss various topics. Use post action on the Account object. A post action is a type of quick action that allows users to create a post on a record’s feed or on their own feed. A post can include text, mentions, hashtags, topics, links, files, or images. By using post action on the Account object, CK can enable users to share updates, feedback, or questions about customer accounts and engage with other users who follow the accounts. Set up new private Chatter groups is not a valid feature, as it does not meet CK’s business needs. A private Chatter group is a way to create a collaborative space for users to share information, files, polls, and ideas around a confidential or sensitive topic or interest. A private Chatter group can only be joined by invitation and can only be seen by the group members. By setting up new private Chatter groups, CK would limit the visibility and accessibility of the conversations around customer accounts. Use Chatter actions to create tasks to complete is not a valid feature, as it does not meet CK’s business needs. A Chatter action is a type of quick action that allows users to create a task from a record’s feed or from their own feed. A task can include subject, due date, priority, status, assigned to, etc. By using Chatter actions to create tasks to complete, CK would enable users to track and manage their work related to customer accounts, but not to socialize and collaborate with other users.

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

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

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

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.

Schema Builder is a tool that allows app builders to view and modify the data model of their Salesforce org. Some of the capabilities of Schema Builder are:

Creating and editing custom objects and fields

Creating and editing relationships between objects

Showing selected objects on a page

Editing custom settings

Schema Builder cannot be used to create a new record type or view page layouts in a new window.

To ensure process compliance where cases cannot revert to an earlier status and certain fields are required based on specific case criteria, the recommended solution is:

Configure validation rules with help text (A). Validation rules enforce data integrity and business processes by preventing users from saving records if certain conditions are not met. For instance, a validation rule can prevent the status of a case from being changed back to an earlier status and can conditionally require fields based on other field values on the case.

Dependent picklists (B) ensure field values depend on another field’s value but do not enforce the inability to revert status. Approval processes (C) are used for step-by-step record approval and are not designed to prevent status reversion or conditionally require fields. Making fields required on the page layout (D) ensures they are always required when accessing the record through that layout but does not enforce conditional requirements based on other criteria.

Reference for creating validation rules in Salesforce:

Validation Rules: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=sf.validation_rules.htm &type=5

 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 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]

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.

 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 best way to help the sales manager achieve their goal of reducing manual data entry from business cards is to research and evaluate data enrichment products on the AppExchange that can automate data entry. Data enrichment products can scan business cards, extract relevant information, and populate fields in Salesforce records. This can save time, improve data quality, and enhance productivity. Option B, C, and D are not effective solutions for this goal.

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 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)

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.

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

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

AND( I AND(

ISPICKVAL(StageName, "Negotiation/Review"),

CloseDate - 7 < TODAY()

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

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

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

Reference for creating formula fields in Salesforce:

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

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

 AppExchange and Apex Code are two resources that can provide custom components for a Lightning app. AppExchange is a marketplace where developers can publish and sell their custom components or apps. Apex Code is a programming language that can be used to create custom components or logic for a Lightning app. Import Wizard and Visualforce are not resources for custom components, but tools for data import and web page development respectively.

To connect Testimonial__c records with both the submitter’s Contact record and Account record, an app builder should create a master-detail relationship from Testimonial__c to Account and a lookup relationship from Testimonial__c to Contact. A master-detail relationship creates a parent-child relationship between two objects and allows for roll-up summary fields, sharing settings, and cascading actions. A lookup relationship creates a loose association between two objects and allows users to relate records from one object to another. Source

The app builder has two options available when defining an object-specific Create Record custom action:

Pre-Defining field values on the target object. This means that the app builder can specify default values for certain fields on the target object when creating a new record using the custom action.

Specifying the fields and layout of the action. This means that the app builder can choose which fields to include in the action and how they are arranged on the screen. Option B and D are not options available when defining an object-specific Create Record custom action.

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.

To automate the submission of opportunities into the "Secure Commitment" stage and eliminate manual submission for approval, the best feature to use is:

Record-Triggered flow optimized for Actions and Related Records (D). This type of flow allows for complex automation that can include submitting records for approval based on specific criteria being met, such as reaching a particular stage in the opportunity lifecycle. It's particularly suitable for handling related record updates and other actions like submissions for approval, which are integral when an opportunity reaches a certain stage.

Record-Triggered Flow optimized for Fast Field Updates (A) is focused primarily on quick updates to fields and may not handle the complexity of submission for approval processes adequately. Custom button and screen flow (B) could be used to manually trigger processes but does not automate the submission. Platform Event-Triggered flow (C) is typically used for integrations and reacting to system-wide events, not for standard record lifecycle management.

Reference for using Flows in Salesforce, particularly for automating business processes like approval submissions:

Record-Triggered Flows: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=sf.flow_considerations_trigger_record.htm &type=5

The app builder should use a global picklist value set to share the list of values for the Status field across each object. A global picklist value set is a set of values that can be used by multiple picklist fields on different objects. This can ensure data consistency and reduce maintenance efforts. Option A, C, and D are not features that can share picklist values across objects.

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 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.

The best practice that the app builder should follow when building out automation is one record change process per object. A record change process is a type of process in Process Builder that starts when a record is created or updated. Having one record change process per object can avoid conflicts or errors when multiple processes try to update the same record at the same time. Option A is incorrect because one workflow rule per object is not a best practice, as workflow rules are considered legacy tools and have limitations compared to Process Builder. Option B is incorrect because one flow per object is not a best practice, as flows are more complex and require more resources than processes. Option C is incorrect because one invocable process per object is not a best practice, as invocable processes are used to invoke other processes from within a process or a flow.

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.

 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 app builder should use Sum as the type of summary in the roll-up summary field. A Sum type of summary allows the app builder to calculate the total value of a numeric field from the child records related to a parent record by a master-detail relationship. The app builder can create a roll-up summary field on the Account object that sums the Amount field from the won Opportunities related to each Account. Count is not a valid type of summary, as it does not calculate the total value of a numeric field. A Count type of summary allows the app builder to count the number of child records related to a parent record by a master-detail relationship. Max is not a valid type of summary, as it does not calculate the total value of a numeric field. A Max type of summary allows the app builder to display the largest value of a numeric or date field from the child records related to a parent record by a master-detail relationship. Min is not a valid type of summary, as it does not calculate the total value of a numeric field. A Min type of summary allows the app builder to display the smallest value of a numeric or date field from the child records related to a parent record by a master-detail relationship.

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.

Workflow rule and an outbound message or Process Builder and Apex Code are two ways to integrate Salesforce with an external web service. Workflow rule can define criteria and actions for triggering an outbound message, which is an XML message sent to a designated endpoint URL. Process Builder can invoke Apex Code, which is a programming language that can make callouts to external web services using HTTP requests. Flow Builder and an outbound message or Process Builder and an outbound message are not possible combinations.

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

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.

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.

To troubleshoot the issue of a contact being unavailable for other users to see, an app builder should check the following things:

Confirm whether Default Organization-Wide Sharing Settings provide access to the Account. This setting determines the baseline level of access that users have to each other’s records.

Review the Contact record and ensure it is linked to an Account. Contacts that are not linked to an account are private and only visible to the owner and administrators.

Verify the users with the issue have access to the Contact object. Users need to have at least read permission on the Contact object to view contact records. Option A and E are not relevant for troubleshooting this issue.

 The best way to configure Account sharing so that community users only see their own Account is to set the account external OWD to private. This will restrict the access to Account records for external users based on the sharing rules and criteria. Creating an account record type, defining an owner-based sharing rule, or defining a permission set will not prevent community users from seeing other accounts.

To test code against a subset of production data under 5 GB and to refresh the sandbox environment weekly, the most suitable type of sandbox is:

Partial Copy (B). A Partial Copy sandbox includes a copy of your production org’s metadata and a subset of your production data as defined by the sandbox template. It allows up to 5 GB of data and can be refreshed every 5 days, making it ideal for scenarios where a representative sample of production data is needed for testing without the storage and refresh limitations of a Full Copy sandbox.

Developer Pro (A) and Developer (D) sandboxes also allow for testing and development but do not include a subset of production data—they either have no data or only limited sample data. A Full Copy sandbox (C) provides a full replica of production data, far exceeding the 5 GB requirement and generally is refreshed less frequently due to larger data volume and longer copy times.

For a customer service representative to collect information through a series of question prompts:

B. Flow. Salesforce Flows allow for the creation of guided interactions that can prompt users for information in a step-by-step manner.

Steps to create a flow for this purpose:

Navigate to Setup → Flows.

Click on 'New Flow' and select a Screen Flow to interactively prompt users.

Design the flow with Screen elements for each question.

Add logic to process responses as necessary.

Save and activate the flow.

Embed or link the flow in a relevant location accessible to the service representative, such as on a record page or in the utility bar.

Flows provide a flexible and powerful way to interactively gather and process customer data in real time.

For detailed guidance on creating Flows, see Salesforce's Flow Builder documentation.

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.

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 validation rule that uses the PRIORVALUE function is how an app builder can meet the requirement of preventing users from increasing the value of Estimated Hours after it is set. According to the Salesforce documentation, “PRIORVALUE returns the previous value of a field.” The validation rule can compare the current value and the prior value of Estimated Hours and display an error message if the current value is greater than the prior value. Creating a formula default value for the custom field, creating a formula field that uses the PREVGROUPVAL function, and creating a validation rule that uses the ISCHANGED function are not valid or correct solutions for this requirement.

The app builder should use Web-to-Case to enable visitors to the website to open cases. Web-to-Case is a feature that allows users to create an HTML form that can be embedded into a public-facing website. When visitors fill out and submit the form, a new case is automatically created in Salesforce with the information from the form fields. Web-to-Case can also assign cases to queues or users based on predefined rules and criteria. Outbound message is not a valid tool, as it does not enable visitors to open cases. An outbound message is a type of workflow action that sends a secure XML message to a designated endpoint URL when a record meets certain criteria. An outbound message can be used to integrate Salesforce with external systems or applications. Screen flow is not a valid tool, as it does not enable visitors to open cases from a public-facing website. A screen flow is a type of flow that allows users to create an interactive guided process that can collect, display, and update data from multiple objects within Salesforce. A screen flow can be embedded into Lightning pages or Visualforce pages, but it cannot be exposed to unauthenticated users on a public website. Email-to-Case is not a valid tool, as it does not enable visitors to open cases from a website. Email-to-Case is a feature that allows users to create cases from email messages sent to a specific email address. Email-to-Case can also capture email attachments and thread information and associate them with the case.

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

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

 A formula field cannot be referenced by a roll-up summary field if it contains a cross-object field reference or a time-based function. A cross-object field reference is a reference to a field from a different object, such as Account. Name on a Contact object. A time-based function is a function that returns the current date or time, such as NOW() or TODAY(). Option A and C do not prevent a formula field from being referenced by a roll-up summary field.

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.

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

A template for a new Lightning record page determines how the page is divided into regions. The template is responsive and will automatically adapt to the device being used to view the record page. The template can be changed after the initial save, and users do not need “View All Data” permissions for the object

The app builder should use two tools to automate this process:

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 goes to the closed won stage, and then execute an action that posts a message to a Chatter group.

Workflow: This is another type of automation tool that can execute actions based on certain criteria. In this case, the workflow can have a criteria that evaluates if an opportunity goes to the closed won stage, and then execute an action that posts a message to a Chatter group. Option A and C are not tools that can automate this process.

The best way to implement this request is to create a Lightning Web Component that can fetch the real-time stock price from an external API and display it on the Account record page. Installing a solution from the AppExchange may not be feasible as it may not match the exact requirements or may have additional costs. Building a Flow that uses API calls may not be efficient as it may consume API limits and may not be able to update the stock price in real-time. Using a scheduled Apex job may not be suitable as it may not be able to run frequently enough to reflect the real-time stock price

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

The two reasons to create an unmanaged package are to distribute open-source projects on the AppExchange and to deploy from a Developer Edition environment. An unmanaged package is a collection of components that can be installed in any Salesforce org but cannot be upgraded or controlled by the developer. An unmanaged package can be used to share open-source projects or to deploy components from a Developer Edition environment to another org.

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 best way to solve this problem is to filter components by device using Form Factor. Form Factor is an attribute that can be applied to components on a Lightning record page to control their visibility based on the device type, such as desktop, phone, or tablet. By using Form Factor, the app builder can hide some components that are not relevant for mobile users, such as charts or reports, and show only the components that are necessary for data entry, such as fields or actions. This way, the mobile users do not have to scroll through all the components and can enter data more easily. Reordering the fields may not solve the problem completely, as there may still be too many components on the page for mobile users. Updating the training documentation may not help either, as it does not address the root cause of the problem, which is the layout of the page. Deselecting the phone radio button on the Lightning record page assignment may not be desirable, as it will prevent mobile users from accessing the record page at all, which may affect their productivity and functionality.

The app builder should provision a Partial Data sandbox to the developer. A Partial Data sandbox can have up to 5 GB of data, which meets the requirement of having at least half a gigabyte of data. A Partial Data sandbox can also be refreshed every 5 days, which meets the requirement of refreshing after each three-day sprint. Option A is incorrect because a Developer sandbox can only have up to 200 MB of data, which does not meet the requirement. Option B is incorrect because a Full Copy sandbox can only be refreshed every 29 days, which does not meet the requirement. Option C is incorrect because a Developer Pro sandbox can only have up to 1 GB of data, which may not be enough for the requirement.
