Salesforce Updated Platform-App-Builder Exam Questions and Answers by paddy

The correct answer is D. Validation Rule.

A validation rule is used to stop users from saving a record when required business conditions are not met. Salesforce documentation explains that validation rules verify that record data meets defined standards before the record can be saved.

For this requirement, the validation rule would check that when the Opportunity stage is Qualified, the Expected_Close_Date__c field is not blank.

Example logic:

AND(ISPICKVAL(StageName, " Qualified " ), ISBLANK(Expected_Close_Date__c))

Why others are incorrect:

Record Type controls business process, picklist values, and layouts, but it does not enforce this conditional save requirement by itself. Activity History and page layout do not reliably stop record save based on stage logic.

The correct answer is B.

This is a one-user exception. Salesforce recommends using permission sets to extend access without changing the user’s base profile. A permission set can grant read-only field access through field-level security to just the selected customer service agent. Salesforce documentation explains that permission sets extend user access, and field permissions control whether users can view or edit individual fields.

Why others are incorrect:

A creates a new profile for one user, which is not the recommended scalable solution.

C is not accurate because field-level security is assigned through profiles or permission sets, not directly to one user from the field alone.

D would give all users with the Customer Service profile read-only access, not only the single agent.

The correct answers are A. Create a custom-based sharing rule and B. Update the organization-wide defaults.

Here, “custom-based” is most likely referring to a criteria-based sharing rule. UC wants to move from public sharing to a more restrictive model, so the app builder must first update the Organization-Wide Defaults for Accounts. Salesforce OWDs define the default access users have to records they do not own.

Then, to continue giving the Sales team access to all Account records with the Sales record type, the app builder should create a criteria-based sharing rule based on record criteria, such as Record Type. Salesforce criteria-based sharing rules share records based on field values.

C is incorrect because profiles control object permissions, not record-level sharing by record type.

D is incorrect because owner-based sharing rules share records based on record owner, not record type.

===========

The correct answer is C. Add the standard Chatter feed component.

To add Chatter feed functionality to a custom object Lightning record page, the app builder should use the standard Chatter component in Lightning App Builder. Salesforce documentation states that the Feed component was renamed Chatter in Lightning App Builder and is used to place the publisher and feed combination on a record page.

A is incorrect because no custom Chatter feed component is required. B is incorrect because related lists do not add the Chatter feed. D is incorrect because the standard Chatter component is already available; an AppExchange component is unnecessary.
