Platform-App-Builder Practice Questions

The correct answers are

C.  

Text field and

D.  

Number field.

Salesforce allows custom Text, Number, Email, and Auto Number fields to be marked as External ID fields. Since the available choices include Text and Number, those are the two valid answers.

Why others are incorrect:

A.  

Phone field cannot be marked as an External I

D.  

B.  

URL field cannot be marked as an External I

D.  

===========

The correct answers are

A.  

Processes that update record owners do not transfer child records and

C.  

Processes will fail on records owned by inactive users.

When Process Builder updates a record owner, Salesforce does not automatically transfer associated child records such as related Contacts or other child records. Salesforce documentation says processes that update owners do not automatically transfer associated items, so separate update actions are required for each related record type.

Also, Salesforce documentation states that processes can’t update records owned by inactive users. If records are still owned by inactive users, automation that tries to update them can fail.

B is not the correct consideration here.

D is not the best answer because the issue described is about ownership-based access to Accounts and Contacts, not simply whether a process version is active.

The correct next steps are

A.  

Add the fields to the page layout on the object and

C.  

Create a permission set for access to the object and fields .

This is a two-part access problem in Salesforce: users need both security access and user-interface exposure . Creating a custom object and fields in Schema Builder only creates the metadata. It does not automatically guarantee that end users can see, create, edit, or use those records and fields.

C is required because object permissions define the base-level access users have to records for an object, such as create, read, edit, and delete. Salesforce also uses field permissions / field-level security to control whether users can view or edit individual fields. Permission sets are the correct modern mechanism to grant object and field permissions to selected users without changing their base profile.

A is also required because page layouts control the organization of fields on record detail and edit pages. Even if a user has field-level access, the field must be placed on the relevant page layout for normal record-page visibility and editing in the UI. Salesforce specifically separates field-level security as the access-control layer and page layouts as the UI organization layer.

B is incorrect because “Allow Reports” only makes the object available for report creation; it does not grant users object CRUD access or field-level visibility. D is incorrect because data types are assigned during field creation, not after, and choosing a data type does not grant user access.

The correct answers are

B.  

Cross-object field updates between Training and Student records are not supported and

C.  

On Training record, the Student Lookup field can be made optional.

This question is about creating a Student lookup field on the Training object. A lookup relationship is a looser relationship than master-detail. Salesforce documentation explains that lookup relationships do not support roll-up summary fields, unlike master-detail relationships.

Because this is a lookup relationship, the Student lookup field on Training can be optional unless the app builder marks it required. Cross-object field updates are also not supported in this lookup relationship scenario; Salesforce documents that cross-object field updates work for master-detail relationship scenarios, not normal lookup relationships.

A is incorrect because roll-up summary fields require a master-detail relationship.

D is incorrect because deleting Student records is controlled by object permissions and relationship delete behavior, not simply by access from the Training record.

===========

The correct answers are

B.  

Create a criteria-based sharing rule and

C.  

Update the organization-wide defaults.

To move from a public sharing model to a more restrictive model, the app builder must first update the Organization-Wide Defaults for Accounts. OWDs define the baseline record access for users. Then, because the Sales team must still access all Account records with the Sales record type, the app builder should create a criteria-based sharing rule using record criteria, such as Record Type. Salesforce sharing rules are used to extend access when the OWD is Private or Public Read Only.

A is incorrect because owner-based sharing rules share records based on owner, not record type.

D is incorrect because profiles control object permissions, not record-level access by record type.
