Plat-Admn-301 Salesforce Certified Platform Administrator II Free Practice Exam Questions (2025 Updated)

 Record-triggered flow is a feature that allows administrators to automate actions that occur when a record is created or updated. Record-triggered flow can perform actions such as updating fields, creating records, sending emails, or invoking Apex code. Record-triggered flow can be used to update the account checkbox field ‘Opportunity Created’ when at least one related opportunity has been created

The equivalent field is the field that matches the dashboard filter field on the source report object. For example, if the dashboard filter is on Account Owner, then the equivalent field on the Opportunity object is Opportunity Owner. Changing the equivalent field ensures that the dashboard filter applies correctly to the Opportunity components.

Assignment rules and validation rules are two features that can satisfy these requirements:

Assignment rules are used to automatically assign leads or cases to users or queues based on certain criteria. In this case, an assignment rule can be used to assign leads to different planetary teams depending on which planet the lead is coming from.

Validation rules are used to validate the data entered by users and prevent records from being saved if they do not meet certain criteria. In this case, a validation rule can be used to ensure that every team has all of the information they need by making certain fields required or dependent on other fields.

The other two options are incorrect because:

Matching rules are used to identify duplicate records based on certain fields or fuzzy logic. They do not assign records or validate data.

Workflow rules are used to automate tasks or actions based on certain criteria. They do not assign records or validate data.

Change sets are tools that allow administrators to move customizations such as fields, page layouts, profiles, permission sets, etc. from one Salesforce org to another. To use change sets, administrators need to establish a deployment connection between a source org (such as a sandbox) and a target org (such as production). Then, administrators can create an outbound change set in the source org that contains the components they want to deploy, and upload it to the target org. In the target org, administrators can view and validate the inbound change set before deploying it to their org. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.changesets.htm &type=5

The error condition formula of a validation rule should return TRUE when the validation rule should fire and display an error message. In this case, the validation rule should fire when the Title field has the value of ‘CEO’ and the Phone field is blank. The formula Title = ‘CEO’ && ISBLANK(Phone) returns TRUE when both conditions are met, and FALSE otherwise.

A price book is a list of products and their prices for a specific segment of customers or market. By creating a separate price book for the special bundle deal on monitors and keyboards, AW Computing can offer different prices for these products without affecting their standard prices or requiring VP approval. The price book can also specify which products are included in the bundle and which are not. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.products_pricebooks_def.htm &type=5

Data Loader is a tool that allows administrators to import, export, insert, update, delete, or upsert records in Salesforce using CSV files. Data Loader can handle large data sets and complex data transformations. Data Loader can be used to import records for a custom object from a spreadsheet. Lightning Object Creator is a tool that allows administrators to create custom objects in Salesforce from spreadsheets. Lightning Object Creator can automatically map spreadsheet columns to fields and create relationships between objects. Lightning Object Creator can be used to create a custom object from a spreadsheet and import records at the same time.

Two practices that the administrator should adhere to in order to ensure a successful deployment to production are:

Add permissions and access settings to outbound change sets in addition to the dependent component list. This can help avoid deployment errors or access issues caused by missing permissions or settings for the components in the change set. For example, if the change set includes a new custom object, the administrator should also include the object permissions, field-level security, page layouts, and record types for that object.

Run deployment validations on the change set in the sandbox prior to uploading to production. This can help test the change set for any errors or conflicts before deploying it to production. Deployment validations simulate the deployment without actually making any changes and report any issues or warnings.

The other two options are incorrect because:

Cloning a change set does not add forgotten dependent components to an uploaded change set. It only creates a copy of the existing change set that can be modified before uploading.

When deploying a new record type, it is not necessary to have it as the only component in the change set. It can be deployed along with other components as long as they are compatible and have the required dependencies.

 To make sure that the changes are in production, you need to add the components to an outbound change set and deploy it to production. A change set is a tool that allows you to send customizations from one Salesforce org to another. A change set can contain components such as objects, fields, profiles, permission sets, workflows, and more. You can use change sets to migrate changes from a sandbox org to a production org or between two sandbox orgs that are affiliated with the same production org. In this case, you need to add the master-detail field and all the affected profiles to an outbound change set in your sandbox org and then deploy it to your production org.

 A cross-object formula is a formula that references fields from related objects. The administrator can create a cross-object formula field on the Case object that displays the current status from the Account. This field can be used in validation rules and other processes. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.tips_on_building_formulas_cross_object_formulas.htm &type=5

The setup audit trail tracks the recent setup changes that you and other administrators have made to your org. It can help you troubleshoot issues by showing you what changes were made, who made them, and when. In this case, the setup audit trail can help the administrator identify if someone changed the field-level security, page layout, or profile settings for the industry picklist field. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.monitorsetup.htm &type=5

A session security level is a setting that determines how secure a user’s session is based on factors such as their login method, their IP address, their browser, or their device. Administrators can configure different session security levels for different user profiles and assign different actions or permissions to each session security level.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a feature that requires users to verify their identity using two or more factors of authentication when they log in to Salesforce, such as their username and password plus a verification code or an app-generated token. MFA can enhance the security of user sessions and prevent unauthorized access.

If an administrator recently implemented MFA with a standard security level selected and is receiving cases that users are unable to log in, they should check the session security level required at login on the user profile. This setting determines what session security level users need to have when they log in based on their profile. If this setting is higher than the standard security level, users may not be able to log in with MFA alone and may need additional factors of authentication.

Manual sharing is a way of granting access to individual records by manually sharing them with other users, roles, or groups. Manual sharing can override the organization-wide default and role hierarchy settings and give additional access to specific records. In this case, manual sharing could be the reason why only one user can see the account record, even though they have the same profile and role as another user who cannot see it. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_sharing_manual.htm &type=5

A change set is a tool that allows you to send customizations from one Salesforce org to another. A change set can contain components such as objects, fields, profiles, permission sets, workflows, and more. You can use change sets to migrate changes from a sandbox org to a production org or between two sandbox orgs that are affiliated with the same production org. In this case, you can deploy a change set from the sandbox to production that includes the Amount field and all the custom profiles that need access to it. This way, you can update the field-level security settings for the field on each profile in one deployment.

A price book is a list of products and their prices that can be added to an opportunity. A product can have different prices for different markets or segments, and these prices are stored in different price books. In this case, the administrator should create a new price book for the new retail pricing and add the products that are sold to retail locations for resale. This way, the users can select the appropriate price book and products for their opportunities based on the type of customer they are selling to. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.products_pricebooks.htm &type=5 https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.products_define.htm &type=5

Case Source updates to ‘email’ before the record is saved because the Process Builder runs before the auto-response rule. Then, an email is sent out using Template2 because the auto-response rule evaluates the Case Source value after it is updated by the Process Builder and matches the criteria for Template2

The Fields component is a Lightning component that allows administrators to display fields from a record on a Lightning page based on certain conditions or criteria. For example, administrators can use filter logic to show or hide fields based on field values or user profiles. In this case, the administrator can use the Fields component to display fields that only apply to condos based on the value of a field that indicates the type of property. References: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.lightning_app_builder_fields.htm &type=5

Creating a new quote record for each of the different product configurations and syncing the most likely to be purchased back to the opportunity will ensure that their quotes and opportunities reflect their sales. This way, sales reps can show customers different options and prices, and keep track of which one is most likely to close. Syncing a quote with an opportunity will update the opportunity amount, stage, and expected revenue fields based on the quote information.

Delegated Administration is a feature that allows administrators to delegate some administrative tasks to other users without giving them full access to Setup. Delegated administrators can manage users and assign permissions for specific custom objects, tabs, apps, and fields. This can help reduce the workload of the system administrator and empower power users to make configuration changes to a specific custom object
