Pass the Salesforce App Builder Platform-App-Builder Questions and answers with CertsForce

The app builder should recommend UC use Salesforce Connect to access the assets in real-time data in Salesforce. Salesforce Connect is a feature that allows users to view, search, and modify data that is stored outside Salesforce, such as in an external system. Salesforce Connect uses external objects and external data sources to integrate data from various sources without copying or synchronizing it2. This can help UC access their assets in real-time without consuming data storage limits in Salesforce. Option A, C, and D are not features that can meet this requirement.

The issue described occurs due to the settings in the master-detail relationship. Specifically:

The Allow reparenting checkbox, Child records can be reparented to other parent records after they are created, is unchecked (B). This setting prevents changing the parent record (contact) of a child record (service plan) once it has been set. If 'Allow reparenting' is unchecked, it restricts the ability to change the associated contact, leading to the issue observed.

The other options do not directly address the inability to change the associated contact on a service plan record. The 'Read Only' and 'Read/Write' settings (A and C) pertain to access rights to the detail records based on the master record's access but do not affect the ability to reparent a record.

For a detailed understanding of master-detail relationships and their settings, including reparenting, see the Salesforce documentation on relationships:

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.

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.

 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

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.

Create a validation rule that uses the PRIORVALUE function is how an app builder can meet the requirement of preventing users from increasing the value of Estimated Hours after it is set. According to the Salesforce documentation, “PRIORVALUE returns the previous value of a field.” The validation rule can compare the current value and the prior value of Estimated Hours and display an error message if the current value is greater than the prior value. Creating a formula default value for the custom field, creating a formula field that uses the PREVGROUPVAL function, and creating a validation rule that uses the ISCHANGED function are not valid or correct solutions for this requirement.

The best choice for capturing geographic location data, such as crossroads or location markers provided by customers, is the Geolocation field type. This field type stores latitude and longitude data, allowing accurate pinpointing of locations on a map. Geolocation fields are suitable for any application that needs to handle coordinates for mapping and proximity calculations.

A: Number field is not specific enough for geographical coordinates.

C: Reference fields link to other records, not geographical 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.
