Three of the 658 questions in this pack

Question 1

Universal Containers manages internal projects by department using a custom object called Projects. Only employees in the project's respective department should have view access to all of the department's project records. If an employee changes job roles and moves to another department, the employee should no longer have access to the projects within their former department.

Which two options will meet these requirements assuming the organization-wide default for Projects is set to Private? (Choose two.)

  1. Create a criteria-based sharing rule using the Project's department that grants access to users by profiles.
  2. Create a criteria-based sharing rule using the Project's department that grants access to users by permission sets.
  3. Create a criteria-based sharing rule using the Project's department that grants access to users by roles.
  4. Create a criteria-based sharing rule using the Project's department that grants access to users by public groups.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C, D

C. Create a criteria-based sharing rule using the Project's department that grants access to users by roles. D. Create a criteria-based sharing rule using the Project's department that grants access to users by public groups. Criteria-based sharing rules can only share records with roles, roles and subordinates, territories, or public groups, so roles and public groups are the two workable choices. Sharing through a role works because moving an employee to a new department changes their role, which immediately removes the old department's project access. Sharing through a public group works the same way: the administrator maintains membership, either directly or by including roles, so removing the user from the group or role revokes access to the former department's projects.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. A sharing rule cannot grant access to a set of users defined by profile, so this option is not configurable.
  • B. Permission sets are not a valid target for sharing rules; they grant object and field permissions, not record-level sharing.

Question 2

Universal Containers has a customer base where many customers have the same or similar company names.

Which functionality should be configured to improve an end user's search experience? (Choose two.)

  1. Update the account search layouts search filter fields.
  2. Update the account search layouts accounts tab columns displayed.
  3. Update the account search layouts search results columns displayed.
  4. Update the account search layouts list view filter settings.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A, C

A. Update the account search layouts search filter fields. C. Update the account search layouts search results columns displayed. Both settings live in the Account search layouts and directly shape what users see when searching. Adding search filter fields lets users narrow results by values such as Billing State, Industry, or Type when many companies share a name. Adding meaningful columns to the search results layout displays those distinguishing values right in the result list so the correct account can be picked without opening each record.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. The Accounts Tab columns control the recently viewed list on the tab, which has no effect on search results.
  • D. List view filter settings apply to list views only and do not change global or lookup search behavior.

Question 3

An app builder creates an Account validation rule on the Industry field that will throw an error if the length of the field is longer than 6 characters.

Another app builder creates a workflow with a field update that sets the Industry field to Technology whenever the Billing City field is set to San Francisco.

What will happen the next time a sales person saves an Account with a Billing City of San Francisco?

  1. The record will save and the Industry field will change to Technology.
  2. The record will not save and no error message will be displayed.
  3. The record will not save the validation rule's error message will be displayed.
  4. The record will save but the Industry field will not change to Territory.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. The record will save and the Industry field will change to Technology.

to Technology. The validation rule runs first against the value the user submitted, and since the user did not enter an Industry value longer than 6 characters, the save passes that check. The workflow rule then fires and its field update sets Industry to Technology. In the order of execution, a workflow field update re-runs only system validations and update triggers: custom validation rules and duplicate rules are not evaluated again. The record saves with Industry set to Technology.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. The record does save, so this outcome never occurs.
  • C. Custom validation rules are not re-evaluated after a workflow field update, so nothing blocks the save and no error message appears.
  • D. The field update does apply, setting Industry to Technology, and the record is committed.

What makes the Platform App Builder hard

App Builder is the declarative exam, and its whole game is choosing between several no-code tools that all technically work.

The forks repeat: validation rule or flow, record types or page layouts or dynamic forms, roll-up summary or flow-calculated field, master-detail or lookup, and every sharing question, where org-wide defaults, roles and sharing rules interact. Then there is the deployment tail: change sets, sandboxes, and what does or does not move between environments, which pure declarative builders have often never touched.

It is one of Salesforce’s highest-volume credentials, and this pack covers all five domains aligned to the current release.
