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

Using Process Builder on Opportunities and a Chatter post action, and enabling Feed Tracking on Opportunities are two configurations that an app builder can recommend to meet the requirement of notifying and tracking changes to an Opportunity Close Date. Process Builder can create a process that triggers a Chatter post action when the Close Date field is changed on an Opportunity. Feed Tracking can enable tracking of field history for the Close Date field on the Opportunity feed. Creating an Opportunity outbound message and activating Historical Trending for Opportunities are not valid configurations for this requirement.

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 app builder should select Enhanced List for the Related List type for the Related List Lightning component. Enhanced List allows users to see ten fields and sort and wrap text on their Related Lists. Option B is incorrect because Basic List only allows users to see four fields and does not support sorting or wrapping text on their Related Lists. Option C is incorrect because ListView does not show Related Lists on record pages, but rather shows list views on object home pages or tabs. Option D is incorrect because List Class is not a valid Related List type.

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 requirement can be met by using a combination of process builder and approval process. The process builder can be used to trigger the approval process when the close date is delayed by more than 60 days. The approval process can be configured to require unanimous approval from the manager and VP of sales.

The best practice that the app builder should follow when building out automation is one record change process per object. A record change process is a type of process in Process Builder that starts when a record is created or updated. Having one record change process per object can avoid conflicts or errors when multiple processes try to update the same record at the same time. Option A is incorrect because one workflow rule per object is not a best practice, as workflow rules are considered legacy tools and have limitations compared to Process Builder. Option B is incorrect because one flow per object is not a best practice, as flows are more complex and require more resources than processes. Option C is incorrect because one invocable process per object is not a best practice, as invocable processes are used to invoke other processes from within a process or a flow.

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.

 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.

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 three Salesforce functionalities that are ignored when processing field updates in workflow rules and approval processes are:

Field-Level Security: This means that the field update will occur regardless of the user’s profile or permission set settings that determine whether they can see or edit the field1.

Validation Rules: This means that the field update will bypass any validation rules that might otherwise prevent the record from being saved1.

Decimal places and character limits: This means that the field update will round or truncate the value to fit the field’s format, without throwing an error
