Salesforce Updated AP-209 Exam Questions and Answers by kiyaan

Offline capabilities are a critical feature of the Field Service mobile app.

Option E is correct:The fundamental behavior of the app is to "Prime" (download for offline use) the inventory associated with the Service Resource. This ensures that when a technician is in a basement with no signal, they can still view their van stock and consume parts (create Product Consumed records).

Option B is correct:Salesforce Field Service supportsMulti-Location Inventory(e.g., a technician has a Van location and a Garage location). The app is capable of priming these additional locations so the tech can transfer stock between them. However, consultants must be aware of data volume limits (priming thousands of parts can slow down sync times), so configuration settings restrict how far back or how many items are synced.

Option Dis incorrect because the app specifically allows for theconsumptionof parts while offline; the transactions sync back to the server once connectivity is restored.

When dealing with a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategy (common with contractors), device compatibility is the biggest technical hurdle.

Option B is correct.Salesforce explicitly publishes a list ofsupported devices and operating systems(iOS and Android versions)6. Since the company does not own the phones, they cannot guarantee every contractor has a compatible device. The consultant must warn the client to check these specs against their contractors' hardware.

Option Ais a policy decision, not a technical constraint. Youcantrack contractor location if they agree to it.

Option Cis false; Contractor licenses (Community Plus)doinclude access to the Field Service Mobile App.

To stop a resource from receiving work, you must mark them as inactive and ensure the scheduling engine respects that status.

Option C is correct:Deactivating the Service Resource(unchecking the "Active" checkbox on the record) is the standard way to "fire" or terminate a resource. It preserves history but flags them as no longer working7.

Option A is correct:You must ensure yourScheduling Policyincludes theActive ResourcesWork Rule8. This rule explicitly tells the optimization engine: "Do not assign appointments to any resource where Active = False." Without this rule, the engine might still technically assign work to an inactive record if no other constraints block it.

Option B(Delete) is bad practice (data loss).

Option D(Excluded Resources) is for specificjob-by-jobexclusions (e.g., "Don't send Bob to this specific customer"), not for global termination.

During Scoping (the initial phase), the goal is to align on the "What" and "Why" before moving to the "How."

Option A is correct (Work Parameters):You must define what constitutes a "Job" (Work Order), how long it takes, and what skills are needed. This is the foundation of the data model.

Option C is correct (Terminology):Mapping the customer's language to Salesforce terms (e.g., "We have 'Truck Rolls' -> In Salesforce, that is a 'Service Appointment'") is crucial to avoid confusion throughout the project.

Option D is correct (Project Objectives):Defining what is "Essential" (MVP) vs. "Nice to Have" sets the project boundaries and success metrics.

Option B (Sprint Review) happensduringthe build phase (Agile methodology), not during initial scoping.

Option E (Solution Design) is theoutputof the scoping/analysis phase, not a topic you ask about during the initial discovery.
