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

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.

Set up a delegated approver for the manager is the recommended solution to ensure all of the appropriate deals are reviewed and the leaderboard is up to date. According to the Salesforce documentation, “A delegated approver can approve records that are submitted for approval by users below them in the role hierarchy.” Forwarding the approval request to the manager’s assistant, having the manager log on and reassign the approval request, and using Process Builder to assign a delegated approver are not valid or feasible options.

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

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.

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.

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.

A (Feed Tracking) allows Salesforce to automatically post updates to the Opportunity feed when certain fields (like Close Date) change.Exact Extract:“Feed tracking lets users see updates to records they follow. When feed tracking is enabled on an object, field changes appear in the feed.” — Salesforce Help | Feed Tracking Overview

C (Record-Triggered Flow + Chatter Post) allows real-time automated notifications to specific users (e.g., Sales Managers) when the Close Date changes.Exact Extract:“You can automate notifications by creating a record-triggered flow that posts to Chatter or sends notifications when specified conditions are met.” — Salesforce Help | Flow Builder Notifications

Why not B:Outbound messages are used for system-to-system communication, not internal notifications.

Why not D:Historical Trending is for reporting over time, not notifications or tracking.

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

To ensure process compliance where cases cannot revert to an earlier status and certain fields are required based on specific case criteria, the recommended solution is:

Configure validation rules with help text (A). Validation rules enforce data integrity and business processes by preventing users from saving records if certain conditions are not met. For instance, a validation rule can prevent the status of a case from being changed back to an earlier status and can conditionally require fields based on other field values on the case.

Dependent picklists (B) ensure field values depend on another field’s value but do not enforce the inability to revert status. Approval processes (C) are used for step-by-step record approval and are not designed to prevent status reversion or conditionally require fields. Making fields required on the page layout (D) ensures they are always required when accessing the record through that layout but does not enforce conditional requirements based on other criteria.

 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 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.

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.

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.

Research and evaluate products available on AppExchange to send mass emails is the action that the app builder should take to meet the requirement of broadcasting an email to 7,000 contacts in Salesforce on a regular basis. AppExchange is a marketplace where app builders can find products or solutions that can extend Salesforce functionality. There are many products on AppExchange that can send mass emails without hitting the Salesforce limit. Request Salesforce increase the number of maximum daily emails, develop Apex code and Lightning web component to send daily emails, and export Contacts to a CSV file and use an email client to send the emails are not valid or recommended actions.

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.

 Create a validation rule on the Account object is how the app builder can keep accounts with open opportunities from being deleted. According to the Salesforce documentation, “Validation rules verify that data entered by users in records meet the standards you specify before they can save it.” A validation rule can check if an account has any open opportunities and display an error message if someone tries to delete it. Create an Apex trigger on the Account object, remove the delete button on the account layout, and remove the Delete permission from the Sales Rep profile are not valid or sufficient solutions for this requirement.

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

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