Free Practice Questions for Salesforce Platform-App-Builder Exam

The correct answer is C. A Galaxy__c with Star__c report type will be automatically created.

When a master-detail relationship is created between a parent custom object and a child custom object, Salesforce can automatically generate a standard report type for the parent object with the child object, such as Galaxy__c with Star__c, assuming reporting is enabled for the objects. Salesforce documentation confirms that standard report types are created in certain object relationship scenarios, including lookup and master-detail relationships.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A is incorrect because the report type is based on the parent with child, not the child object with the parent merely as a field.

B is incorrect because a custom report type is not required for this basic master-detail reporting scenario.

D is incorrect because the report type is not created as Star__c with lookup fields from Galaxy__c.

===========

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 correct answer is B. Geolocation.

Salesforce geolocation fields are used to identify locations using latitude and longitude and can support distance calculations.

Because Universal Containers delivers containers to remote construction sites and customers provide crossroads or location markers, the app builder should use a Geolocation field to capture location-based information rather than a number, reference, or external lookup field.

Why others are incorrect:

A. Number stores numeric values only.

C. Reference is not the correct field type for capturing physical location.

D. External Lookup is used to relate Salesforce records to external object records, not to store site location details.

===========

The correct answers are A. Detail page layout, B. Custom actions, and D. Custom fields.

To deploy a new Account detail page layout successfully and make it look the same in production, the change set must include the actual page layout plus the components used on that layout.

Salesforce page layouts control the arrangement of fields, actions, buttons, and related lists on record detail pages. Therefore, if the layout uses new custom fields or custom actions, those components must also exist in production or be included in the change set. Salesforce change set guidance also notes that custom fields must be added individually when deploying customizations.

C. System administrator profile is not required just to deploy the visual layout. Profiles are only relevant if deploying access settings or layout assignments.

E. Lightning App Builder is not the component needed for a standard detail page layout; a Lightning Record Page would be a different metadata component.

===========

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 B. The Allow reparenting checkbox, Child records can be reparented to other parent records after they are created, is unchecked.

A service plan must be associated with one Contact, and users cannot change the Contact after the service plan is created. Since field access and validation rules are not the issue, the likely cause is a master-detail relationship where Allow reparenting is not enabled.

Salesforce documentation states that in master-detail relationships on custom objects, administrators can allow child records to be reparented by selecting Allow reparenting. If that option is not selected, users cannot change the parent record after the child record is created.

A and C relate to master-detail sharing settings, not changing the parent record. D is the opposite of the problem; if Allow reparenting were checked, users could change the parent Contact.

===========

The correct component is the Highlights Panel. More precisely, Salesforce refers to the newer version as the Dynamic Highlights Panel, which displays up to 12 key record fields configured in Lightning App Builder. Since the option list only says Highlights Panel, option B is the exam match.

Path is for guiding users through stages. Accordion is for collapsible sections. A custom Lightning Web Component is not needed because Salesforce provides this functionality declaratively.

===========

The correct answers are C. My Domain must be deployed and D. The component is tagged for record pages instead of home pages.

Salesforce custom Lightning components must be properly configured before they appear in Lightning App Builder. Salesforce Trailhead explains that custom components configured for Lightning App Builder appear in the Lightning Components pane, and the component bundle must be compatible with Lightning App Builder and Lightning pages.

C is correct because Salesforce requires My Domain for adding custom Lightning components in Lightning Experience/App Builder scenarios. Salesforce Help notes that users cannot add a custom Lightning component without enabling and deploying My Domain.

D is correct because Lightning components must be exposed for the correct page type. A component exposed only for record pages will not appear for a Lightning Home page. Salesforce Developer documentation states that lightning__HomePage enables a component to be used on a Home page, while record-page-only configuration is separate.

Why others are incorrect:

A is incorrect because a custom tab is not required to add components to a Lightning Home page.

B is incorrect because “developer permission” is not the normal reason a downloaded component cannot be added to a Lightning Home page.

===========

The correct answer is A. Partial Copy.

A sandbox template is used to define which object data is copied into a sandbox. Salesforce documentation states that sandbox templates control what data is copied into Full or Partial Copy sandboxes. Since the question says the app builder created a sandbox template for Accounts, Projects, and Project Milestones, the correct testing environment is Partial Copy because it includes metadata plus a selected sample of production data defined by the sandbox template. Developer, Developer Pro, and Scratch Orgs do not use sandbox templates for selected production data in this way.

===========

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.
