Platform-App-Builder Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder (SU24) Question and Answers

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

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

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

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

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 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.

 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.

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. 

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

If an employee attempts to edit the description field after submitting an opportunity for approval, they will be presented with a ‘Record Lock’ notification. This means that the record is locked for editing while it is in the approval process and only users with the “Modify All” permission or users above them in the role hierarchy can edit it. [Source]

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.

Escalation rules and Process Builder are two automation processes that can be used to send a notification when a case stays in the ‘’ new’’ status for more than four business hours. Escalation rules can define criteria and actions for escalating cases based on time or other factors. Process Builder can create a time-based action that triggers an email alert when the case status is ‘’ new’’ for more than four business hours. Flow Builder and Scheduled Apex are not necessary for this requirement.

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.

 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).

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.

Creating both customer and dealer as accounts, adding each rep as a contact on the corresponding account, and creating an account hierarchy provides a clear organizational structure and relationship between the entities.References:

Salesforce Help - Account Hierarchies

All profiles will get access to the new field by default when it is created using Schema Builder. The app builder can modify the field-level security settings later to restrict access for certain profiles. Standard profiles, no profiles, and internal profiles are not correct options.

The app builder should 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.

 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.

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.

A Scheduled Triggered flow can be used to increment a custom field on the Case object each time the case is reopened, effectively tracking the number of reopenings.References:

Salesforce Help - Scheduled Flows

 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 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 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 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.

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.

Updating the account search layouts search results columns displayed and updating the account search filter fields can improve an end user’s search experience by showing more relevant information and allowing more refined filtering. The view filter settings and the accounts tab columns displayed are not related to the search functionality

Sharing rules can be used to extend access to records owned by certain users or roles to other users or roles. In this case, a sharing rule can grant read-only or read/write access to sales-owned accounts to the marketing team

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

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

Guided Action Flows on the record page can help service agents meet the requirement of confirming a user identity before providing support information over the phone. Guided Action Flows are a series of screens that guide agents through a predefined process, such as verifying user information, collecting case details, or resolving issues

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

The feature that the app builder should use to 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.

To allow quick editing of a record's status and entering a due date from the record's feed in the Salesforce Mobile App:

A. Custom action. This option enables users to perform specific tasks directly from the record page in the Salesforce Mobile App, such as editing fields.

Steps to create a custom action:

Navigate to Setup → Object Manager → select the relevant object.

Click Buttons, Links, and Actions → New Action.

Set Action Type to 'Update a Record'.

Configure the action layout to include the Status and Custom Due Date fields.

Add the action to the Salesforce Mobile layout.

This setup provides an efficient way for users to update key fields without navigating away from the record feed.

For detailed setup instructions, see Salesforce's documentation on Creating Quick Actions.

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

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

To add components to the utility bar of an existing app:

C. App Manager. This is where Salesforce apps are configured, including the utility bar which can house components like a chat tool, recent items list, or custom Lightning components.

Steps to edit an app's utility bar:

Navigate to Setup → App Manager.

Locate the desired app and click on the dropdown next to it → select Edit.

In the App Builder, navigate to the Utility Items tab.

Click 'Add' to include new components to the utility bar.

Configure the properties of the utility item as needed.

Save the app configuration.

For step-by-step instructions on modifying apps, see Salesforce's guide on Managing Apps in Lightning Experience.

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

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

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

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 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 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.

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

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

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

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

Reference for managing fields in custom report types:

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

The app builder should verify that there is an Apex test that provides test coverage for the Flow. An Apex test is a unit test that verifies the functionality and quality of Apex code. Apex tests are required to deploy any change that contains Apex code or references Apex code, such as an auto launched flow3. The app builder should ensure that there is an Apex test that covers at least 75% of the Flow logic before deploying it to production in an active state4. Option B, C, and D are not things that the app builder should take into consideration when planning the deployment.

 Partial Copy is the type of testing environment that the app builder should create to use a sandbox template for Accounts, Projects, and Project Milestones. According to the Salesforce documentation, “Partial Copy sandboxes copy your production org’s configuration (metadata) and some of your production org’s data as defined by a sandbox template.” Developer, Developer Pro, and Scratch Org are not types of testing environments that support sandbox templates.

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

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

The two options that the app builder should avoid to prevent recursion are setting a criteria node to No criteria-just execute the procedure and invocable processes. Setting a criteria node to No criteria-just execute the procedure means that the process will always execute the actions regardless of the record values, which can cause recursion if the process updates the same record that triggered it. Invocable processes are processes that can be invoked from another process or a flow, which can cause recursion if the invocable process updates the same record that triggered the parent process or flow. Option A is incorrect because IF statements are not an option in Process Builder, but rather a function that can be used in formulas or conditions. Option D is incorrect because the ISCHANGED function is not an option in Process Builder, but rather a function that can be used in formulas or conditions to check if a field value has changed.

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

The new object should have a lookup relationship to the Opportunity object. A lookup relationship creates a link between two objects and allows related records to be viewed in a related list. This can be used to track installation information for each opportunity and give sales reps visibility of all the installations associated with their opportunities. Option B, C, and D are not appropriate for this requirement.

Updating the existing change set with the new changes and redeploying is the most efficient way to move the updated components to the Developer Pro Sandbox.References:

Salesforce Help - Change Sets

 Create a page layout with the field and use field-level security to hide the field from all other users is how the app builder should meet the requirement of making the comment field on Review private to anyone outside of HR department. Field-level security can control which profiles can view or edit a field on a record. Create an Apex sharing rule, create a sharing rule to share the field with VP of HR with Role and Subordinates, and create a page layout with the field for HR users and another page layout without the field for all other users are not valid or feasible solutions for this requirement.

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

The app builder should validate the inbound change set to ensure a smooth deployment to production. Validating an inbound change set allows the app builder to test whether the change set can be deployed without errors in the target org. Validating an inbound change set does not affect any data or metadata in the target org.

 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

To manage frequently changing picklist values effectively:

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

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

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.

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

An 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.

Configuring a validation rule to require a field for a specific record type is the best way to ensure that important fields are entered and formatted correctly. Updating the important fields to be required on the page layout will not prevent users from entering invalid data using other methods, such as data loader or quick actions. Making a formula field to check the format of the important fields will not prevent users from entering invalid data, but only display a message or an indicator. Creating a workflow rule to check the fields are formatted correctly will not prevent users from entering invalid data, but only trigger an action after the data is saved.

 

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

 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 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.

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

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

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

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]

A validation rule can enforce process compliance by preventing users from saving records that do not meet certain criteria. In this case, a validation rule can prevent users from reverting to an earlier case status or leaving certain fields blank when specific case criteria are met

The deployed permission set will merge with the existing permission set in production, meaning changes made in the sandbox will be added to the existing permission set after deployment.References:

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

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.

The solution that should meet this requirement is updating the support team profile to remove the Bronze record type. This way, the support team users will not be able to create new cases with the Bronze record type, as it will not appear in their record type selection list. Option A is incorrect because updating the organization-wide defaults to private for Case does not affect the record type availability, but rather the record access level. Option C is incorrect because creating permission set group for Case that includes Platinum and Diamond record types does not prevent the support team users from creating new cases with the Bronze record type, as they may still have access to it through their profile. Option D is incorrect because making the record type hidden to support users and updating sharing roles to private does not prevent the support team users from creating new cases with the Bronze record type, as they may still have access to it through their profile.

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.

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

 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

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 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.

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

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

The 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.

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.

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

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:

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
