Platform-App-Builder Exam Dumps - Salesforce App Builder Questions and Answers

The correct answers are B. Set organization-wide default to Private, D. Disable Grant Access Using Hierarchies, and E. Create a criteria-based Sharing Rule for the HR Department.

Set the Review object’s OWD to Private so review records are not visible to all employees by default. Organization-wide defaults define the baseline record access users have to records they do not own.

Disable Grant Access Using Hierarchies because this is a custom object and the requirement says only HR and the submitting employee should see the review. Salesforce allows this setting to be disabled for custom objects so managers higher in the role hierarchy do not automatically inherit access.

Create a criteria-based sharing rule for the HR department so HR can see the Review records even though the default access is private. Salesforce sharing rules are used to grant wider access beyond OWD.

Why others are incorrect:

A is not needed and a Master-Detail relationship to User is not the right access-control design.

C is incorrect because removing Review Read permission from non-HR users would also prevent the submitting employee from viewing their own submitted review.

===========

The correct formula is TEXT(Galaxy__r.Type__c) .

The parent field Type__c is a picklist. In Salesforce formulas, a picklist value cannot be displayed directly as plain text unless it is converted with the TEXT() function. Salesforce documentation states that TEXT() converts picklist values to text in supported formula contexts. Cross-object formulas can reference fields from related parent records, so the child object Star__c can reference the parent Galaxy__c field using the relationship syntax Galaxy__r.Type__c .

VALUE() is for converting numeric text into a number, ISPICKVAL() checks whether a picklist equals a specific value, and FIND() searches text. None of those displays the parent picklist value as text.

===========

The correct answer is D. Approval process.

The requirement is to automate travel request form submission and enforce an internal approval policy. Salesforce approval processes are specifically designed to automate how records are submitted, reviewed, approved, rejected, recalled, and acted upon. Salesforce Trailhead explains that an approval process defines the criteria a record must meet before submission, the approval steps, approvers, and the actions taken when the record is approved or rejected.

This exact scenario also aligns with Salesforce’s travel approval training example, where a Travel Approval object uses an approval process to route travel requests to the employee’s manager and, when needed, to another approver.

A is incorrect because assignment rules route leads or cases, not approval requests.

B is incorrect because validation rules prevent invalid saves but do not manage approval routing.

C is incorrect because Apex is unnecessary when a standard declarative approval process fits the requirement.

===========

Use a Component visibility filter. The issue is not object access or field access. The Contact Lightning record page is shared, but one component should be hidden for users with the Marketing profile. Salesforce Lightning App Builder supports visibility filters on Lightning page components, so the app builder can conditionally show or hide that component based on user/profile criteria.

Why not the others? AppExchange is unrelated. Detail page layouts control field layout, not visibility of a Lightning page component. Field-level security controls field access, not whether a large component appears on a Lightning record page.

===========

The app builder should check whether the list view contains more than one record type.

Salesforce’s inline editing considerations state that if a list view or multiline view contains more than one record type, it cannot be inline edited. To enable inline editing, the list view should be filtered to a single record type.

Why not the others? A locked list view, a chart, or sharing restrictions are not the standard documented reason in this scenario when permissions are already confirmed. Multiple record types in the same list view is the key limitation.

===========

The correct answer is D.

Universal Containers wants the Account Region value to appear on related Contact records and stay in sync whenever the Account value changes. A cross-object formula field on Contact is the best declarative solution because it dynamically references the parent Account field. Salesforce Trailhead explains that a cross-object formula can pull information from a parent object through a lookup relationship, such as showing Account information on Contact.

Because Account Region is a picklist, the formula must convert the picklist value to text using the TEXT() function. Trailhead gives the same pattern with Account Industry on Contact: TEXT(Account.Industry) .

B is incorrect because ISPICKVAL() checks whether a picklist equals a specific text value and returns true/false; it does not display the picklist value.

A and C are incorrect because creating a copied field and trying to update it through a relationship is unnecessary when a formula field can stay synchronized automatically.

===========

The correct answer is D. Patch.

In application lifecycle management, patch releases are used for bug fixes and simple, low-impact changes. Salesforce packaging documentation also describes patch versions as minor upgrades used for fixing bugs or errors.

Major releases are for large changes or significant new functionality. Minor releases are usually for limited-impact enhancements. Roll is not the correct ALM release category here.

===========

Use a Roll-Up Summary field on Account to count the related Opportunity records. Salesforce roll-up summary fields can calculate values from related records, and the COUNT summary type totals the number of related records. Trailhead also gives the Account and Opportunity example for roll-up summaries.

A formula field cannot count child records by itself. A lookup field only creates a relationship. AppExchange is unnecessary for this standard use case.

===========

The correct answer is C. A record-triggered flow can run automatically when an Opportunity is updated to Closed Won, create a renewal Opportunity, and notify the contracts team. Salesforce Trailhead explains that record-triggered flows are built around trigger, criteria, and action; for example, when an Opportunity is created or updated and meets criteria, the flow can create another record.

Salesforce Flow can also create records and send emails, which fits both requirements: create the renewal Opportunity and notify an external contracts team.

Why others are incorrect:

A Approval Process is for review/approval routing.

B Outbound Message may notify an external system, but it does not handle the full renewal Opportunity creation requirement by itself.

D Validation Rule only prevents bad data; it does not create records or send notifications.

===========

The correct answer is B.

Universal Containers needs the 18-digit Salesforce record ID for Opportunity records when exporting to Excel. Salesforce’s CASESAFEID() formula function converts a 15-character Salesforce ID into the 18-character, case-insensitive ID format that works better with external tools such as Excel. Salesforce documentation specifically describes CASESAFEID as the function used to convert IDs to 18-character IDs for Excel compatibility.

Correct formula:

CASESAFEID(Id)

A. VALUE(14) is unrelated. C. TEXT(Id) does not convert the ID to the 18-character case-safe format. D. ISNUMBER(Id) only checks whether a value is numeric, which is not useful for Salesforce record IDs.
