Platform-App-Builder Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder (Plat-Admn-202) Free Practice Exam Questions (2025 Updated)

The two components that could be included on the layout to display the actions are the Highlights panel and the Path. The Highlights panel is a component that shows key information and actions for a record. It can display up to 10 actions from the Mobile & Lightning Actions section of the page layout. The Path is a component that shows the stages of a process, such as a sales process or a service process. It can display up to 5 actions from the Mobile & Lightning Actions section of the page layout. The Chatter and Activities components do not display actions from the Mobile & Lightning Actions section of the page layout. They display other types of actions, such as posting, commenting, liking, logging a call, creating a task, or sending an email.

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.

A formula field is a read-only field that derives its value from a formula expression you define. The formula field is updated when any of the source fields change. You can use formula fields to display images based on certain conditions. In this case, a formula field can be used to display a green, yellow, or red circle image based on the case age.

Criteria-based sharing rules are the best tool to use for automatically sharing records based on specific criteria, such as the opportunity type being "Service Agreement." This rule can share opportunities with all users in a particular role, such as the Service Manager role, when the criteria are met, thereby adhering to the private sharing model while still providing necessary access.

A: Owner-based sharing rules focus on the record owner's role or group, not the record type.

C: Apex sharing is used for more complex scenarios not easily handled by declarative sharing settings.

To 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.

 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 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.

 NOT(ISBLANK(Job_Accepted__c)) && ISCHANGED(Hire_Date__c) is the validation formula that the app builder should use to meet the requirement of preventing changes to Hire Date after Job Accepted is entered. This formula will return TRUE if Job Accepted is not blank and Hire Date is changed, which will display an error message and prevent saving the record. The other formulas are not correct or valid.

Users will be unable to view the Account Interest records or the Interest records because they do not have read access to the Interest object. This is a standard behavior of Salesforce when a user does not have access to a related object.

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.

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.

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]

The app builder should do three things to optimize mobile experience:

Use Global Actions to make it easy to perform vital functionality on mobile: Global actions are actions that allow users to create records or perform tasks from anywhere in Salesforce. They are displayed in various places in Salesforce mobile app, such as action bar, action menu, or publisher. By using global actions, the app builder can make it easy for the appraisal team to perform common tasks on mobile, such as creating a new appraisal record or logging a call.

Minimize the amount of formula fields and lookup fields to reduce page load time: Formula fields and lookup fields are types of fields that can affect the performance of Salesforce mobile app. Formula fields are fields that calculate a value based on an expression or formula. Lookup fields are fields that create a relationship between two objects and allow users to select a value from a list of records. Both types of fields can increase the page load time on mobile devices, especially if they are complex or reference many other fields. By minimizing the amount of formula fields and lookup fields, the app builder can optimize the mobile experience for the appraisal team.

Put the most important fields in the compact layout so they are easy to find: Compact layouts are layouts that display a record’s key information at a glance. They are used in various places in Salesforce mobile app, such as record highlights, list views, related lists, and lookup dialogs. By putting the most important fields in the compact layout, the app builder can ensure that the appraisal team can easily find the information they need on mobile devices. Option B and D are not things that an app builder should do to optimize mobile experience.

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

The 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

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.

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

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

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

Record Access and Role Hierarchies

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