A quick action on the Account object can be used to create Opportunity records related to an Account. The quick action can pre-populate some fields based on the Account record, and also allow the user to input some fields. This would improve the process of creating Opportunity records

 The two actions that an app builder should take to meet the requirements are: Implement a sharing rule. A sharing rule is a way to grant additional access to records based on certain criteria, such as record owner, role, profile, or field value. The app builder can create a sharing rule that grants read access to all accounts with the VIP Account field value to all users. This way, all users can view these accounts, but only the owners can edit them. Change organization-wide defaults. Organization-wide defaults are the baseline level of access that users have to records they do not own. The app builder can change the organization-wide default for accounts from Public Read Only to Private. This way, only the owners can view and edit their own accounts, unless additional access is granted by other means, such as sharing rules. Configuring a permission set is not a valid action, as it does not affect record-level access. A permission set is a way to grant additional permissions and access settings to users on top of their profile settings, such as object permissions, field permissions, app permissions, etc. Setting up an Account Team is not a valid action, as it does not restrict record-level access. An Account Team is a way to share an account and its related records with a group of users who work together on the account, such as sales reps, managers, or support agents. An Account Team grants additional access to team members based on predefined roles and access levels.

The "Accordion" Lightning component is designed to break up content into collapsible sections. This component would be suitable for managing the visibility of large numbers of fields by grouping them into separate tabs or sections that can expand and collapse. This makes navigation easier and declutters the interface.

A: Highlights panel is used for displaying key record information at the top of the page and is not designed for managing multiple fields.

B: Record detail displays all fields on a single layout, which does not suit the requirement to break up the fields.

C: Field section does not exist as a standard Lightning component. Reference: Accordion Component in the Lightning Component Library

To display a weather map component on a Lightning record page conditionally:

A. Component visibility should be used. This feature in the Lightning App Builder allows components on a Lightning page to be displayed based on specific criteria, such as field values or user attributes. In this case, the app builder can set the visibility of the weather map component to only appear when a house is scheduled for a showing based on the relevant field values.

For more details on setting up conditional component visibility, review the guide on Dynamic Lightning Pages.

Record-triggered flow is the automation tool that the app builder should use to best address all these requests of sending an email to the finance manager and creating a task for the sales manager when a new client is won. According to the Salesforce documentation, “Record-triggered flows automate processes for you. They start when a record is created or updated, or when a platform event occurs.” A record-triggered flow can perform actions such as sending an email alert or creating a record based on criteria or conditions. Screen flow, Apex, and Approval process are not automation tools that can handle all these requests.

 The app builder needs to have NOT(ISBLANK([Lead].OwnerId)) in the criteria to ensure the process runs without error. This formula checks if the OwnerId field on the Lead object is not blank, which means that the lead is owned by a user or a queue. This will prevent the process from running on leads that are not owned by anyone, which could cause an error. Option A, B, and C are not formulas that can ensure the process runs without error.

To ensure sales reps input contacts into Salesforce rather than their personal devices:

C. Enable offline create, edit, and delete in Salesforce for Android and iOS. This feature allows sales reps to enter contact information directly into the Salesforce Mobile App even when they are offline, which syncs back to Salesforce once connectivity is restored.

Steps to enable offline capabilities:

Navigate to Setup → Mobile Administration → Salesforce Mobile App → Offline Settings.

Configure offline settings to allow for creating, editing, and deleting records.

Ensure that the Contact object is available for offline access.

This functionality encourages reps to use Salesforce directly by mitigating connectivity constraints.

For implementation details, refer to Salesforce Mobile App Offline.

A (Feed Tracking) allows Salesforce to automatically post updates to the Opportunity feed when certain fields (like Close Date) change.Exact Extract:“Feed tracking lets users see updates to records they follow. When feed tracking is enabled on an object, field changes appear in the feed.” — Salesforce Help | Feed Tracking Overview

C (Record-Triggered Flow + Chatter Post) allows real-time automated notifications to specific users (e.g., Sales Managers) when the Close Date changes.Exact Extract:“You can automate notifications by creating a record-triggered flow that posts to Chatter or sends notifications when specified conditions are met.” — Salesforce Help | Flow Builder Notifications

Why not B:Outbound messages are used for system-to-system communication, not internal notifications.

Why not D:Historical Trending is for reporting over time, not notifications or tracking.

Create a Chatter stream. This is correct because a Chatter stream allows users to follow multiple records and people in one feed, and filter the feed by selecting a stream.

Roll-up summaries allow MAX, MIN, SUM, COUNT, and AVG functions on numeric fields from child records related by a master-detail relationship. Roll-up summaries are limited to master-detail relationships and cannot be used with lookup relationships. An object can have up to 40 roll-up summary fields, not 25. An object can have up to 25 relationship fields (master-detail or lookup), not 20.
