Salesforce Updated Platform-App-Builder Exam Questions and Answers by darcie-mae

The best solution to create a report to compare the number of support cases in each status and by priority is to use grouping. Grouping allows the app builder to summarize data by one or more fields, such as status and priority, and display them in rows and columns. Grouping also enables the app builder to use different chart types, such as stacked bar charts or matrix charts, to visualize the data. Bucket columns are not a suitable solution, as they are used to categorize data into predefined groups, such as high, medium, or low. Custom report types are not a suitable solution, as they are used to define the objects and fields available for a report, not how to display them. Filters are not a suitable solution, as they are used to limit the data shown in a report based on certain criteria, not how to compare them

A custom action on Account can be used to create additional accounts from a parent account record. A custom action can have predefined values for certain fields based on the parent record. A custom global action can be used to create records that do not have any relationship with other objects. A custom link on Account can be used to execute JavaScript or link to an external URL.

One of the limitations when using the Schema Builder for creating fields is:

C. Cannot add fields to page layouts. While Schema Builder allows for easy visualization and creation of fields and objects, it does not support placing these fields onto specific page layouts directly from the Schema Builder interface.

To place fields on page layouts, you need to:

Navigate to Setup → Object Manager → select your object.

Click on Page Layouts, choose the appropriate layout, and manually add the newly created fields.

This step is necessary to ensure fields are visible and properly arranged on user interfaces.

For more details, Salesforce's Schema Builder documentation outlines its capabilities and limitations.

To manage field editability based on the opportunity status:

C. Use field-level security on page layouts with record types to restrict editing fields. This combination allows for different layouts and editable fields based on the status of the record (e.g., closed or open).

Steps to implement:

Create or adjust record types for open and closed opportunities.

For each record type, create a specific page layout.

On the page layout for closed opportunities, set the majority of fields to read-only using field-level security, except for the 'Post-Close Follow-up Date' and 'Post-Close Follow-up Comments' fields.

Assign the appropriate page layouts to the respective record types.

Update profiles or permission sets to use these record types and page layouts accordingly.

This setup ensures that sales reps can modify fields only when the opportunity is open, and the sales operations team can edit specific fields after closure.
