Platform-App-Builder Sample Questions Answers

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

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

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

Steps to set up these features:

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Highlights Panel. This is correct because the highlights panel component displays key fields from a record at the top of the page, and it can be configured to show up to 10 fields.

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.

An Approval Process is the appropriate functionality to ensure all free parts receive the marketing director's sign-off. It allows for setting up a process for record approval.References:

Salesforce Help - Approval Processes

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

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

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 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.

To configure a custom Lightning component for use in a record page, the app builder needs to edit a record page using the Lightning App Builder and drag the component onto the page. The Page Layout editor and the App Manager are not used for this purpose

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.

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.

Reference for sandbox types and their capabilities:

Sandbox Types and Templates: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=sf.data_sandbox_implementation_tips.htm &type=5

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.

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

A master-detail relationship between two objects automatically creates a report type that includes both objects. The app builder does not need to create a custom report type for this scenario. The report type will have the format of Parent object with Child object

 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.

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

The "Sharing" button should be added to the Account page layout to allow sales reps to view the sharing details of an account record. This button enables users to see how access to the record is granted via roles, groups, and manual sharing.

A: Sharing Hierarchy provides a view of the role hierarchy but does not specifically detail record access.

B: New Task is unrelated to sharing visibility.

D: "Fait" is not recognized in Salesforce context as a valid component or feature. Reference: Sharing an Account in Salesforce Help Documentation

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

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

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.

 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

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

To facilitate quick managerial sign-off on discounted opportunities:

B. Dynamic Actions: Allows the display of specific actions on the Opportunity record page based on certain conditions, like the discount percentage.

D. Approval Process: Configures a formal sign-off process for records meeting specific criteria, such as discount ranges between 20% to 30%.

Steps to set up:

Configure an approval process for opportunities where the discount is between 20% and 30%.

Use Dynamic Actions to conditionally show the approval action directly on the Opportunity record page based on the discount percentage.

This setup allows sales managers to efficiently review and approve discounted deals directly from the Opportunity record page.

For guidance on setting up approval processes and dynamic actions, refer to Dynamic Actions in Salesforce.

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.

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.

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.

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

 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.

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

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

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

Steps to configure approval process notifications:

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

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

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

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

The inability to create a Roll-Up Summary field in this context can be attributed to:

B. The organization has Advanced Currency Management enabled. When Advanced Currency Management (ACM) is enabled, it affects how currency data is managed and aggregated, impacting the functionality of roll-up summary fields that involve currency amounts across different records.

To address this limitation, consider using custom reporting or a custom solution like a trigger or a scheduled batch class to manually calculate and update the total.

For more information on limitations with ACM, consult Salesforce's help article on Advanced Currency Management.

A flow or a process can be used to assign a permission set to new users. A flow can be triggered by a record change or an invocable action, while a process can launch a flow as an immediate or scheduled action

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.

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]

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

 It will fail if there is a feature only available in the next version. According to the Salesforce documentation, “If your sandbox is on a newer version than your production org, you can’t deploy any components that are new in the sandbox version.” The change set components will not be upgraded to the next version in production, the change set will not be automatically deployed when production is upgraded, and the deployment is possible if there are no new features involved.

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. 

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

The app builder should create a sharing rule that grants the users Read/Write access to the Application records. A sharing rule is a type of rule that can extend record access to groups of users based on certain criteria. In this case, the app builder can create a sharing rule that grants Read/Write access to the Application object to the recruiters based on their role, public group, or queue. This will allow them to edit the Application records related to any Internship record, regardless of the ownership. Option A, B, and C are not ways to configure the proper access.

Sharing rules and manual sharing are two features that can extend record access beyond the organization-wide defaults. Sharing rules are automatic rules that grant access to groups of users based on certain criteria, such as role, public group, or territory. Manual sharing is a manual way of granting access to individual users or groups by the record owner or someone above them in the role hierarchy. Option B and C are not features that extend record access.

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

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.

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

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

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

Custom Report Types and Fields: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=reports_report_type_layouts.htm &type=5

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.

An update record action with a related record component on the Opportunity layout allows users to edit related Account records directly.References:

Salesforce Help - Creating Quick Actions

 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 two actions that an app builder should take to meet the requirements are: Implement a sharing rule. A sharing rule is a way to grant additional access to records based on certain criteria, such as record owner, role, profile, or field value. The app builder can create a sharing rule that grants read access to all accounts with the VIP Account field value to all users. This way, all users can view these accounts, but only the owners can edit them. Change organization-wide defaults. Organization-wide defaults are the baseline level of access that users have to records they do not own. The app builder can change the organization-wide default for accounts from Public Read Only to Private. This way, only the owners can view and edit their own accounts, unless additional access is granted by other means, such as sharing rules. Configuring a permission set is not a valid action, as it does not affect record-level access. A permission set is a way to grant additional permissions and access settings to users on top of their profile settings, such as object permissions, field permissions, app permissions, etc. Setting up an Account Team is not a valid action, as it does not restrict record-level access. An Account Team is a way to share an account and its related records with a group of users who work together on the account, such as sales reps, managers, or support agents. An Account Team grants additional access to team members based on predefined roles and access levels.

 The lookup relationship will need to be converted to a master-detail relationship before a roll-up summary field can be created. This is correct because roll-up summary fields are only available on the master object in a master-detail relationship, and a lookup relationship does not establish a parent-child hierarchy between the objects

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.

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

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

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.

 Groups is available in the Chatter section of the navigation menu, not in the selected list for the navigation menu. According to the Salesforce documentation, “Groups appear in Chatter, not in Navigation Menu.” Groups is not available in the recent section of the navigation menu, nor is it included in the Smart Search items but unavailable on the navigation menu. Groups is unavailable in the selected list for the navigation menu.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Steps to set up field-level security:

Navigate to Setup → Object Manager → Solar System.

Select Fields & Relationships → Jupiter field.

Click Field-Level Security.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

Salesforce Help - Duplicate Management

For tracking whether contracts have been sent for Opportunities:

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

Steps to configure this field:

Navigate to Setup → Object Manager → Opportunity.

Click Fields & Relationships → New → Checkbox.

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

Set the default value to false (unchecked).

Add the field to the relevant page layouts.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Approval process is the best way to automate travel requests based on internal policy. Approval process can define the steps, criteria, and actions for approving records. The app builder can create an approval process for travel requests that requires approval from managers or executives before they are submitted. Workflow rule, Process Builder, and Apex are not suitable for this requirement.

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

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

Steps to create this validation rule:

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

Create a new validation rule.

In the formula, use:

AND(

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

ISBLANK(Region__c)

) )

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

Save and activate the rule.

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

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

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 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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The 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.

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.

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

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

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.
