Salesforce Platform-App-Builder - Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder (Plat-Admn-202)

The correct answer is D. Unable to reference the child records.

Formula fields can reference fields from related parent records using cross-object formulas, but they cannot directly pull values from multiple child records onto a parent record. Salesforce describes cross-object formulas as formulas that can reference fields from a parent object when the formula is created on the child/detail side of the relationship.

In this case, Account is the parent and Contacts are child records. Since the formula is being created on Account and trying to reference related Contacts, the relationship does not appear in the formula editor.

Correct design alternatives: use a roll-up summary where supported, Flow, Apex, or reporting.

===========

The correct answer is D. Set the Organization-Wide Default to Private for accounts. Create criteria-based sharing rules for each marketing team, and create an Inside Sales Team profile with the “View All” setting for Accounts.

The field sales team should only see Accounts they own, so Account OWD must be Private. Salesforce OWDs define users’ default access to records they do not own.

North American and European marketing teams need access by region, so use criteria-based sharing rules based on the Account region. Salesforce criteria-based sharing rules share records when records match field criteria.

Inside sales needs access to all Account records, so give that group View All Records on Account. Salesforce object permissions define that View All Records lets users view all records for that object regardless of sharing settings.

===========

The correct answer is C. Two master-detail relationships on a new custom object.

This requirement is a many-to-many relationship: one Contact can relate to many Solar Projects, and one Solar Project can relate to many Contacts. Salesforce models this with a junction object, which is a custom object with two master-detail relationships.

A simple lookup on one object would not properly support the many-to-many data model.

===========

The correct answer is A. Record-triggered flow.

The app builder needs automation to run when a child record is deleted and then update a field on the related parent record. Salesforce states that a record-triggered flow can automatically perform actions when a record is created, updated, or deleted, without user interaction.

Autolaunched flow can perform logic, but it does not run automatically on record deletion unless invoked by another automation. Validation rule only prevents invalid data entry. Quick action requires user interaction and is not suitable for automatic updates after deletion.

===========

The validation must happen when a Contact is saved because the missing field is Region on the Contact record. Salesforce validation rules evaluate data before a record is saved and return an error when the formula evaluates to True.

The app builder can create a validation rule on Contact that checks the related Account’s Customer Status field and requires Region only when the Account is marked High Priority.

Example logic:

AND(

ISPICKVAL(Account.Customer_Status__c, " High Priority " ),

ISBLANK(Region__c)

)

Why others are incorrect:

A is wrong because the missing field is on Contact, not Account.

B is wrong because Customer Status being required does not require Contact Region.

D is wrong because it would require Region for all Contacts, not only High Priority Account Contacts.

===========

The correct answer is D. For use on the utility bar.

For a custom Lightning web component to appear as an available component in the utility bar, it must be exposed in its metadata configuration with the lightning__UtilityBar target. Salesforce developer documentation states that lightning__UtilityBar enables a component to be used as a utility item in an app’s utility bar, and the component must be exposed with the appropriate target.

B. For use in Lightning App Builder is broader and not enough by itself for utility-bar availability. C. For use on record pages exposes the component for record pages, not the utility bar. A. For use in App Manager is not the correct component target wording.

===========

The correct answer is A. The requirement is to combine four custom text fields into one formula field and display the result on two lines.

The formula works as follows:

Street__c displays the street on the first line.

BR() inserts a line break. Salesforce documents the BR formula function as inserting a line break in a text string.

City__c & " , " & Planet__c & " " & Galaxy__c displays the remaining location information on the second line. The & operator connects two or more strings in Salesforce formulas.

Why others are incorrect:

Options using field names without __c are not correct for custom fields. Options using __r are relationship references, not direct custom field references. Options without BR() do not satisfy the two-line requirement.

===========

The correct answers are A. Review the Contact record and ensure it is linked to an Account, C. Verify the users with the issue have access to the Contact object, and E. Confirm whether Default Organization-Wide Sharing Settings provide access to the Account.

A Contact that is not linked to an Account is treated as a private contact. Salesforce states that contacts without an account are private regardless of the sharing model, so checking whether the Contact is associated with an Account is a valid troubleshooting step.

Users also need object-level access to the Contact object. Object permissions control whether users have base-level access such as read, create, edit, and delete for an object.

Finally, Contact visibility is often affected by Account access, especially when Contact sharing is controlled by the parent Account. Organization-Wide Defaults define the default record access users have for records they do not own, so checking the Account OWD is also correct.

B is incorrect because creating a new Contact does not troubleshoot the actual sharing/security issue.

D is incorrect because creating a broad Account Sharing Rule for all records is not the first troubleshooting step and may overexpose data.

===========

The correct answer is C. Flow.

This requirement needs automation that can do multiple things: update the To Be Installed checkbox when a Lift is sold, then notify an external system the next day using an outbound message. Salesforce states that Flow Builder is the optimal tool for triggered automation because it combines workflow and process automation capabilities in one point-and-click tool. Record-triggered flows can run when records are created, updated, or deleted, and can update records, send notifications, initiate processes, and maintain data consistency.

The “next day” timing points to a scheduled path in a record-triggered flow. Salesforce explains that scheduled paths delay automation for minutes, hours, days, or months after the triggering record change. Salesforce also documents outbound messages as a Flow Builder core action for record-triggered flows, used to send a SOAP message to a designated endpoint.

Approval Process is for approvals, Validation Rule only prevents invalid data, and Assignment Rule is for assigning records such as leads or cases. None of those tools can meet the full requirement.

The correct answer is C. Data Export Service.

Salesforce Data Export Service is the native tool used to export backup data from a Salesforce org. It allows admins to create export files of Salesforce data and schedule exports. Salesforce documentation describes Data Export as the feature for exporting backup data from Salesforce.

Important exam note: the question says “daily backup,” but standard Salesforce Data Export scheduling is commonly weekly or monthly depending on edition and settings. Among the listed options, Data Export Service is still the correct Platform App Builder answer.

A is incorrect because refreshing a Full Copy sandbox is not a backup strategy.

B is incorrect because packages move metadata, not org data backup.

D is incorrect because “Support expert” is not the Salesforce backup/export tool.
