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

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 answer is A.

When custom tabs are deployed through change sets without profile settings or permission sets, the deployed custom tabs are hidden by default for all users. Salesforce Help states that deployed custom tabs are hidden by default unless the change set also includes profiles that set the tab visibility.

Tab visibility is controlled through profile or permission set tab settings such as Default On, Default Off, and Tab Hidden.

Why others are incorrect:

B and C are incorrect because the tabs are not automatically default off or default on for all users.

D is incorrect because the custom tabs are deployed; they are just not visible until access is configured.

===========

The correct answer is D. Sum.

Cloud Kicks wants the total value of all won Opportunities displayed on the Account record. In a roll-up summary field, SUM totals the values in a selected numeric/currency field, such as Opportunity Amount. Salesforce documentation identifies SUM as the roll-up summary type used to total values in the selected field.

The app builder would create a roll-up summary field on Account, summarize Opportunities, use SUM on the Amount field, and apply filter criteria for won Opportunities, such as Stage equals Closed Won.

A. Count would only count the number of Opportunities.

B. Total is not the Salesforce roll-up summary type name.

C. Aggregate is not the specific roll-up summary option used here.

===========

The correct answer is A. Schema Builder.

Schema Builder lets an app builder quickly create and view custom objects, fields, and relationships from one visual interface. Salesforce Trailhead states that Schema Builder is used to visualize and edit the data model, including objects, fields, and relationships.

Lightning Object Creator is mainly used to create objects and fields from a spreadsheet. Manage Field Permissions controls access, not object creation. Developer Console is not the recommended point-and-click tool for this requirement.

===========

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.

===========

AW Computing wants to grant access to all users in the Service Manager role for Opportunities of type Service Agreement in a private sharing model.

Criteria-based sharing rules allow sharing records automatically based on field values (e.g., Type = Service Agreement) to roles, public groups, or users.

Salesforce documentation confirms that when the org-wide default is private, sharing rules are the declarative way to grant access to specific users based on criteria. (Salesforce Help)

Owner-based sharing rules share based on the record owner, not a field criterion.

Apex sharing rules are needed only if declarative sharing is insufficient.

Manual sharing requires user action and is not scalable.

===========

The correct answer is B. Universal Containers has internal Account OWD set to Public Read/Write, which lets internal users broadly access Account records. However, Experience Cloud / customer community users can have a separate external sharing model. Salesforce documentation explains that External Organization-Wide Defaults provide separate default access for external authenticated users so companies can better secure data for community users.

Setting the Account external OWD to Private prevents customer community users from seeing all company Account records by default.

Why others are incorrect:

A record types do not control record visibility.

C an owner-based sharing rule would grant more access, not restrict default access.

D permission sets grant object/field permissions; they do not replace OWD record-sharing control.

===========

The correct answers are A. Create a master-detail relationship field on Application to Open_Position and B. Create a master-detail relationship field on Application to Job Candidate .

This requirement describes a many-to-many relationship : one Job Candidate can apply for multiple Open Positions, and one Open Position can have multiple Job Candidates. The correct Salesforce design is to use a junction object , which in this case is Application__c .

Salesforce documentation states that many-to-many relationships can be modeled using master-detail relationships between a junction object and the two related objects.

So Application__c should have:

A master-detail relationship to Job_Candidate__c

A master-detail relationship to Open_Position__c

This allows applications to appear on the Job Candidate record and also on the Open Position record.

C and D are incorrect because the relationship fields should be created on the junction object , Application__c , not from the parent objects back to Application.

===========

The best option is a managed package from AppExchange.

Managed packages are designed for distributed apps where the provider can deliver upgrades. Salesforce documentation states that upgrades are supported for managed packages only. This reduces manual maintenance compared with unmanaged packages or custom open-source development, where updates typically require more manual replacement, deployment, or rework.

Why not the others? Unmanaged packages and open-source custom development can be useful, but they do not provide the same upgrade path and vendor-managed maintenance model as a managed AppExchange package.
