Platform-App-Builder Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder (SP24) Questions and Answers

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 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.

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.

• Lightning Record Pages: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=sf.lightning_page_components.htm&type=5

The field attribute that should be selected are Unique and External ID. Unique means that the field will not allow duplicate values. External ID means that the field can be used as a foreign key for data imports and upserts. Option B is incorrect because Required means that the field must have a value and cannot be left blank, which is not necessary for this requirement. Option D is incorrect because Text (encrypted) means that the field will store sensitive data in an encrypted format, which is not necessary for this requirement.

The app builder should add the fields to the page layout on the object to ensure users can access the new object and fields. The page layout determines which fields are visible and editable on the record detail page. Option A, B, and C are not necessary for this purpose.

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

Using Process Builder on Opportunities and a Chatter post action, and enabling Feed Tracking on Opportunities are two configurations that an app builder can recommend to meet the requirement of notifying and tracking changes to an Opportunity Close Date. Process Builder can create a process that triggers a Chatter post action when the Close Date field is changed on an Opportunity. Feed Tracking can enable tracking of field history for the Close Date field on the Opportunity feed. Creating an Opportunity outbound message and activating Historical Trending for Opportunities are not valid configurations for this requirement.

The steps that the app builder should take to meet these requirements are creating a Partial Copy Sandbox and using a sandbox template. A Partial Copy Sandbox can include data records, exclude confidential objects, and be refreshed weekly. A sandbox template can specify which objects and data are copied from the production org to the sandbox org. Option A is incorrect because creating a Full Sandbox and using a sandbox template is not necessary for this requirement, as Full Sandboxes copy all data and metadata from the production org and can only be refreshed every 29 days. Option B is incorrect because creating a Developer Pro Sandbox and scheduling Data Loader to download selected object data weekly is not feasible for this requirement, as Developer Pro Sandboxes do not include data records by default and Data Loader cannot be scheduled to run weekly. Option D is incorrect because creating a Developer Sandbox and scheduling Data Loader to download selected object data weekly is not feasible for this requirement, as Developer Sandboxes do not include data records by default and Data Loader cannot be scheduled to run weekly.

To track the total number of trails associated with a park without writing code, the correct actions to take are:

• Use a roll-up summary field on the Park record to show the total number of Trails (B). Roll-up summary fields calculate and display a value in a master record based on the values of fields in a detail record. They are used to count, sum, average, or get the minimum/maximum of values in related detail records.
• Use a master-detail relationship between the Park and Trail objects (C). Master-detail relationships are necessary for roll-up summary fields as they allow the master object to control certain behaviors of the detail object and summarize data from those detail records.

A formula field (A) cannot dynamically count related records unless those records are linked via a master-detail relationship, and it cannot alone handle counts across related records without such a relationship. A lookup relationship (D) does not support roll-up summaries unless combined with additional tools like triggers or third-party apps, which involve coding or extra configuration outside standard object setup.

For more details, refer to the Salesforce Help documentation on master-detail relationships and roll-up summary fields:

• Master-Detail Relationship: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=relationships_considerations.htm&type=5
• Roll-Up Summary Fields: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=fields_about_roll_up_summary_fields.htm&type=5

 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.

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.

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

• C: Setting the component visibility based on an advanced filter type, using the contact field(s) to define dynamic criteria, allows displaying information relevant to specific account conditions without needing user interaction.References:
• Salesforce Help - Dynamic Forms

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 go to the Account object to build these new rollups. A roll-up summary field is a type of field that can aggregate numeric values from child records related to a parent record by a master-detail relationship. The app builder can create two roll-up summary fields on the Account object that count the number of open Opportunities and the number of won Opportunities related to each Account. Lightning App Builder is not a place where the app builder can build these new rollups. Lightning App Builder is a tool that allows the app builder to customize the layout and components of Lightning pages, such as record pages, home pages, or app pages. It cannot create new fields or relationships on objects. Lightning Object Creator is not a place where the app builder can build these new rollups. Lightning Object Creator is a tool that allows the app builder to create custom objects from spreadsheet data by uploading a file and mapping columns to fields. It cannot create roll-up summary fields or relationships on existing objects. Opportunity object is not a place where the app builder can build these new rollups. The Opportunity object is the child object in the relationship with the Account object, and roll-up summary fields can only be created on the parent object.

To insert a list of 25,000 records using deduplication for the Race_Track__c custom object, an app builder should use Data Loader. Data Loader is a tool that allows users to insert, update, delete, or export large amounts of data in Salesforce. Data Loader can also perform deduplication by matching records based on external ID fields or Salesforce record IDs. [Source]

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

The 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 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.

• A: Number fields and C: Text fields can be set as External IDs. These field types are suitable for housing unique identifiers from external systems.References:
• Salesforce Help - External ID Fields

 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.

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.

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 reasons that can prevent an app builder from adding a custom component to the Lightning home page are if My Domain is not deployed, or if the component is tagged for record pages instead of home pages. My Domain must be deployed to add custom components to the page with the App Builder, as it enables Lightning components and other features. The component must be tagged for home pages in its configuration file, otherwise it will not show up in the App Builder for home pages

The feature that the app builder should use to allow users to create the opportunity is a quick action. A quick action is a type of custom button or link that can create or update records, log calls, send emails, or launch flows from a record page or a global menu. The app builder can create a quick action on the account object that creates an opportunity record with pre-populated fields. Option B is incorrect because a default action is not a valid term, but rather a standard action that appears on every record page by default, such as Edit or Delete. Option C is incorrect because a custom button is not suitable for this requirement, as custom buttons can only display a URL or execute JavaScript when clicked. Option D is incorrect because a custom link is not suitable for this requirement, as custom links can only display a URL or execute JavaScript when clicked.

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

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

To display a weather map component on a Lightning record page conditionally:

• A. Component visibility should be used. This feature in the Lightning App Builder allows components on a Lightning page to be displayed based on specific criteria, such as field values or user attributes. In this case, the app builder can set the visibility of the weather map component to only appear when a house is scheduled for a showing based on the relevant field values.

For more details on setting up conditional component visibility, review the guide on Dynamic Lightning Pages.

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.

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 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.

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.

The best way to calculate an overdue date that is two months after a task due date is to use a formula field with the ADDMONTHS() function. This function adds a specified number of months to a date value, and returns a new date value. See [this article] for more information on formula fields.

 An external ID field can be a number field or a text field, but not a URL field or a phone field. A URL field is used to store web addresses and a phone field is used to store phone numbers. An external ID field is used to store unique identifiers from an external system and it can be used for upsert operations

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

To ensure sales reps input contacts into Salesforce rather than their personal devices:

• C. Enable offline create, edit, and delete in Salesforce for Android and iOS. This feature allows sales reps to enter contact information directly into the Salesforce Mobile App even when they are offline, which syncs back to Salesforce once connectivity is restored.

Steps to enable offline capabilities:

• Navigate to Setup → Mobile Administration → Salesforce Mobile App → Offline Settings.
• Configure offline settings to allow for creating, editing, and deleting records.
• Ensure that the Contact object is available for offline access.

This functionality encourages reps to use Salesforce directly by mitigating connectivity constraints.

For implementation details, refer to Salesforce Mobile App Offline.

 To create “with” or “without” reports on the new custom object, a custom report type is needed. A custom report type defines the relationship between one or more standard or custom objects for reporting purposes. It allows users to select which fields they want to display in their reports and filter by related objects. 

The app builder should use Apex code to update a field on the parent record when a child record connected via lookup is deleted. Apex code is a programming language that allows developers to execute complex logic on the Salesforce platform. Apex code can be triggered by certain events, such as insert, update, delete, or undelete of records. In this case, the app builder can write an Apex trigger that runs after a child record is deleted and updates a field on the parent record accordingly. Option A, B, and D are not automation tools that can perform this task.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Send an email alert, update a related record, and create a child record are three capabilities of Process Builder that can improve productivity for the sales team. Process Builder can automate these actions based on criteria or events that occur on records or objects. Send an outbound message and delete a related record are not capabilities of Process Builder, but of other tools such as Workflow Rules or Apex.

 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.

Moving the reports from the Unfiled Public Reports folder and adding them to a new change set is what the app builder should do to deploy the reports to production. According to the Salesforce documentation, “Reports in the Unfiled Public Reports folder aren’t available for deployment.” Moving the reports to the Untried Public Reports folder, recreating the reports in production, and adding the reports to an unmanaged package are not necessary or recommended actions.

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 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.

 A roll-up summary field is a field that calculates values from related records. A roll-up summary field can be used to display the number of opportunities that are closed won with a close date within the last year on the account detail page by using a filter criteria on the field.

• Data Export Service is the appropriate tool for initiating scheduled or immediate backups of Salesforce data.References:
• Salesforce Help - Data Export Service

The Owner field on the Master record determines the ownership and sharing access of the detail record in a master-detail relationship. According to the Salesforce documentation, “The detail record inherits the sharing and security settings of its master record.” The default owner is not set in the parent object’s settings, the Owner field on the Detail record does not exist, and the owner is not set independently on the detail object’s settings.

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

• Lightning App Builder: This is a tool that allows an app builder to create and customize Lightning pages using drag-and-drop components. The app builder can see the list of custom Lightning components in the Custom section of the Lightning Components pane1.
• Lightning Components in Setup: This is a setup menu that allows an app builder to view, create, edit, and delete custom Lightning components in their org. The app builder can see the list of custom Lightning components in the Lightning Components section of the Setup menu2. Option A and B are not places where an app builder can see a list of custom Lightning components.

The app builder 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.

The app builder should create a new roll-up summary field called First Order Date, using Type MIN on the Opportunity Close Date with a filter where IsWon = TRUE. A roll-up summary field is a type of field that calculates values from related records and displays them on the parent record. In this case, the app builder can create a roll-up summary field on the Account object that calculates the minimum (earliest) value of the Opportunity Close Date field from the related opportunities where IsWon = TRUE. This will show when customers made their first purchase. Option B, C, and D are not correct ways to use a roll-up summary field to meet the requirement.

The app builder should consider two things before overriding standard buttons:

• Standard buttons can be overridden with a Visualforce page. A Visualforce page is a web page that displays custom user interface elements using Visualforce markup and Apex code. A Visualforce page can be used to override a standard button and provide custom functionality or logic3.
• Standard buttons that are not available for overrides can still be hidden on page layouts. A page layout is a layout that determines how fields, related lists, and buttons are arranged on a record detail or edit page. A page layout can be used to hide a standard button that cannot be overridden by removing it from the layout4. Option A and D are not things that the app builder should consider before overriding standard buttons.

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.

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

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

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

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

• Create an approval process on the Contract object with criteria set on a second approval step set as ‘Amount__c > 10,000’ and set the approver as director. An approval process is a type of process that automates how Salesforce records are approved in an organization. An approval process can have multiple steps with different criteria and approvers. In this case, the app builder can create an approval process on the Contract object with two steps: one for the sales manager approval and one for the director approval if the contract amount is over $10,0001.
• Create a validation rule on the Contract object that prevents updates to the contract record while it is being reviewed. A validation rule is a type of rule that checks data quality by verifying that the data in a record meets certain standards before it can be saved. A validation rule can prevent users from making changes to a record that is in a certain status or stage. In this case, the app builder can create a validation rule on the Contract object that prevents updates to the contract record if its Approval Status field is not equal to Not Submitted2. Option B and D are not options that can ensure all contracts route for the correct approval and also prevent the sales rep from making changes to the record while it is being approved.

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

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

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

The record will not save and the validation rule’s error message will be displayed because the field update will violate the validation rule. The validation rule will prevent the record from being saved if the Industry field is longer than 6 characters, and Technology is 10 characters long.

The formula that should be used to select the contact’s preferred name for email communications is IF(NOT(BLANKVALUE(Nickname__c)),Nickname__c, FirstName). This formula checks if the Nickname__c field is blank or null, and if not, it returns the value of the Nickname__c field. Otherwise, it returns the value of the FirstName field.

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

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.

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.

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.

One of the limitations when using the Schema Builder for creating fields is:

• C. Cannot add fields to page layouts. While Schema Builder allows for easy visualization and creation of fields and objects, it does not support placing these fields onto specific page layouts directly from the Schema Builder interface.

To place fields on page layouts, you need to:

• Navigate to Setup → Object Manager → select your object.
• Click on Page Layouts, choose the appropriate layout, and manually add the newly created fields.

This step is necessary to ensure fields are visible and properly arranged on user interfaces.

For more details, Salesforce's Schema Builder documentation outlines its capabilities and limitations.

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.

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

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

• A: Changing the Lead Matching Rule to 'Block on create' will directly prevent duplicates at the point of lead creation based on defined criteria.
• C: Changing the Lead Duplicate Rule to 'Bypass Sharing Rules' allows the system to compare leads across the entire organization regardless of the user's access level, which is crucial especially when OWD is set to 'Private'.References:

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

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 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.

The app builder should recommend utilizing the manage assignments button to assign a permission set group and additional individual permission sets to each user. This way, the app builder can assign the five consistent permission sets to all users in one permission set group, and then assign additional permission sets to higher-level staff as needed. Option B is incorrect because it will not account for the varying levels of support staff and their different permission sets. Option C is incorrect because the Data Import Wizard cannot be used to assign permission sets or permission set groups to users. Option D is incorrect because the Data Loader cannot be used to assign permission set groups to users.

• Creating a unique External ID field on the custom object and using Data Loader to upsert records prevents duplicates and ensures correct record updates by matching the unique ID.References:
