Free Practice Questions for Salesforce Platform-App-Builder Exam

The correct answer is A. Flow.

The requirement is to automatically update a field on the Asset record when a related maintenance Work Order is closed. This is a record-change automation requirement. A record-triggered Flow can run when a Work Order is updated, check whether it is a maintenance work order and closed, and then update the related Asset’s last maintenance date.

Salesforce Flow supports updating related records through the Update Records element in record-triggered flows.

C. Roll-up Summary is not the best answer because Salesforce roll-up summary fields require a master-detail relationship, and the Work Order’s Asset field is a lookup relationship to Asset.

B is incorrect because Einstein Next Best Action recommends actions; it does not maintain roll-up style data.

D is incorrect because Apex Trigger is unnecessary when Flow can meet the requirement declaratively.

===========

The correct answer is B. Create a new roll-up summary field called First Order Date, using type MIN on the Opportunity Close Date with a filter where IsWon = TRUE.

Cloud Kicks wants to track the first purchase date for each customer. The first purchase is the earliest won Opportunity Close Date. A roll-up summary field can calculate values from related records and supports summary types such as COUNT, SUM, MIN, and MAX. Salesforce Trailhead states that MIN displays the lowest value from the selected field and supports date/date-time fields.

So the app builder should create a roll-up summary field on the Account, summarize related Opportunities, choose MIN on CloseDate , and filter to only include won Opportunities, such as IsWon = TRUE .

A and C are incorrect because the field should be a roll-up summary field itself, not a regular date field updated by a roll-up.

D is incorrect because SUM is for number, currency, and percent fields, not date fields. Salesforce documentation confirms that MIN/MAX support date fields, while SUM is for numeric-style fields.

===========

The correct answers are A. Lightning App Builder and D. Quick Action.

A Lightning component can be exposed for use in Salesforce pages through supported targets such as App Page, Home Page, and Record Page, which are configured through Lightning App Builder. Salesforce developer documentation also confirms that components can be configured as quick actions using targets such as lightning__RecordAction or lightning__GlobalAction .

C. Validation Rule is incorrect because validation rules are business logic formulas, not places where Lightning components are placed or rendered. B. Time Failure is not a valid Salesforce area for using Lightning components based on the given option wording.

The correct answer is C. Compact layout.

Compact layouts control the key fields shown in the record highlights area at the top of a record, including in the Salesforce mobile app. Salesforce documentation states that compact layout fields populate the record highlights section at the top of record views in the Salesforce mobile app.

Why others are incorrect:

A. Mobile navigation controls navigation menu items, not fields on a record.

B. Record Detail component shows record fields but does not specifically place key fields at the top.

D. Object specific action is used for actions, not at-a-glance field display.

===========

The correct answer is D. Approval process.

The marketing director wants all free parts to receive sign-off before they are allowed. Salesforce Approval Processes are used to automate how records are approved, define who approves at each step, and specify actions after approval or rejection. Trailhead describes approval processes as automation for record approval and explains that approval steps assign approval requests to specific users.

Chatter approval is not the standard feature for formal record sign-off. Slack post and automated email message can notify people, but they do not enforce approval. An Approval Process is the correct declarative feature for required business sign-off.

===========

The correct answers are C. The report is in the manager’s Private reports folder and D. The report does not have a chart.

The Report Chart component is used to display a chart from a report on a Lightning page. If the report has no chart, it cannot be used as a Report Chart component source. Salesforce documentation describes the Report Chart component as a way to include a chart from a report in a Lightning page.

The app builder also must have access to the report through report folder sharing. Reports saved in a user’s private report folder are not visible to other users unless moved/shared appropriately. Salesforce explains that reports are saved by default into private reports or dashboards folders unless a public/custom folder is selected.

A is incorrect because a report having no returned data does not stop the report from being selectable. B is incorrect because the app builder does not need to be the report creator; they need access to the report folder and the report must contain a chart.

===========

The correct answers are B. Roles and Subordinates, C. Public Groups, and D. Users / Individual Users.

Salesforce manual sharing allows record owners or users with proper access to share individual records with users, public groups, and roles. Salesforce documentation specifically states that manual sharing is used to share individual records with other users, public groups, and roles.

For Lightning manual sharing, Salesforce also describes entering groups, users, roles, or territories in the sharing search box.

So, based on your option wording:

B appears to mean Roles and Subordinates.

C is Public Groups.

D appears to mean Users / Individual Users.

A. Permission Set Groups is incorrect because permission set groups grant object, field, app, and system permissions, not case-by-case record sharing.

E. Private Groups is not the standard answer for this Platform App Builder manual-sharing question.

===========

Feed Tracking is the correct feature because Salesforce can automatically generate feed updates when a tracked field changes on a record. Salesforce Help explains that feed tracking detects changes to tracked record fields and posts updates to the feed. It can also be configured for custom objects.

For this scenario, the app builder would track the travel request approval/status field. When the request becomes Approved, Salesforce posts that tracked change automatically on the record feed.

Why others are incorrect:

Auto-response rule sends automatic email responses, mainly for Lead/Case scenarios.

Approval process manages record approval routing, but the feature that creates automatic feed posts for field changes is Feed Tracking.

Feed quick action is manual, not automatic.

===========

The correct answer is C. Schema Builder.

Schema Builder is designed to help app builders visualize the Salesforce data model, including standard objects, custom objects, fields, and relationships. Salesforce Trailhead states that Schema Builder lets users visualize and edit the data model and is useful for understanding complex data models.

Object Manager and Fields & Relationships are used to configure individual objects and fields, but they do not provide the same visual relationship map. Lightning App Builder is for page layout and UI configuration, not data-model visualization.

The correct answer is C. Salesforce Schema Builder can create fields, including relationship fields, formula fields, and normal fields, and it also helps visualize existing object relationships. However, a field created in Schema Builder is not automatically added to the object’s page layout. Salesforce documentation states that after using Schema Builder, the field must be added through the Page Layout Editor.

Why others are incorrect:

A is incorrect because Schema Builder can create formula fields.

B is incorrect because Schema Builder can create relationship fields.

D is incorrect because Schema Builder is specifically used to view and understand object relationships.
