Which relationship type supports roll-up summary fields?
Lookup Relationship
External Lookup Relationship
Master-Detail Relationship
Hierarchical Relationship
Master-Detail relationships support roll-up summary fields to aggregate data from related records. Other relationship types do not provide native roll-up summary functionality.
Which Salesforce tool would you use to import up to 50,000 records via the user interface?
Data Import Wizard
Data Loader
Bulk API
Workbench
Data Import Wizard supports importing up to 50,000 records directly through the Salesforce UI. Other tools like Data Loader and Bulk API require API access and support larger volumes.
Which user permission is required to create and manage permission sets?
Modify All Data
View Setup and Configuration
Manage Profiles and Permission Sets
Customize Application
The Manage Profiles and Permission Sets permission grants the ability to create and modify permission sets. Other permissions do not include permission-set management.
What is the default record access level when the organization-wide sharing default for an object is set to Public Read Only?
All users can view records but only owners can edit
Users can view only their own records
All users can view and edit all records
All record details are hidden for all users
Public Read Only allows all users to view records, but only the record owner and those above in the role hierarchy can edit them. It does not permit edits by non-owners.
Which component in Lightning App Builder lets you display the standard record details for an object?
Related List
Path
Report Chart
Record Detail
The Record Detail component displays the fields from the page layout on a Lightning record page. Path shows picklist stages, Related List displays related records, and Report Chart shows chart data.
When designing a many-to-many relationship between two custom objects in Salesforce, which configuration pattern should you use?
Use a junction object with two master-detail relationships
Use three lookup relationships between the objects
Create two master-detail relationships without an intermediary object
Use an external object for one side of the relationship
A junction object with two master-detail relationships models a many-to-many relationship and supports roll-up summary fields. Other setups lack full relational capabilities.
Which type of Flow should you use to automatically update related records immediately after a record is saved?
Screen Flow
Record-Triggered Flow (After Save)
Schedule-Triggered Flow
Record-Triggered Flow (Before Save)
An After-Save Record-Triggered Flow runs after the record is committed to the database, allowing updates to related records. Before-Save Flows only update the triggering record.
How can you conditionally display or hide a component on a Lightning record page based on a record field value without code?
Create a Visualforce page with conditional logic
Adjust the page layout assignments
Use Dynamic Apex in Lightning Component
Configure component visibility filters in Lightning App Builder
Lightning App Builder provides component visibility filters for declarative show/hide rules based on record field values. No code is required for this functionality.
Which sharing rule type should you configure to grant record access based on a record owner's role or public group membership?
Territory Sharing Rule
Manual Sharing Rule
Owner-Based Sharing Rule
Criteria-Based Sharing Rule
Owner-Based Sharing Rules grant access based on the record owner's role or public group membership. Criteria-Based rules use record field values instead.
Which automation tool in Salesforce allows you to execute business logic at a scheduled time without writing code?
Workflow Rule
Apex Batch Job
Schedule-Triggered Flow
Process Builder Scheduled Action
Schedule-Triggered Flows can be configured to run at specified times declaratively. They replace older scheduled actions in Process Builder and workflows for timing logic.
Which configuration setting controls the fields that a user can see or edit across all page layouts and record pages?
Field-Level Security
Profile Login Hours
Page Layout Assignments
Permission Set Group
Field-Level Security defines user access to individual fields, regardless of page layout. Page layouts control placement, but security is enforced by field-level settings.
What is the effect of enabling "Grant Access Using Hierarchies" for a custom object?
Records are automatically shared with users above in the role hierarchy
Manual sharing is disabled
Records are shared only with the object's owners
Criteria-based sharing rules are required
Grant Access Using Hierarchies allows users higher in the role hierarchy to access records owned by their subordinates. This setting is optional for custom objects.
Which tool supports command-line interface operations for automating recurring data loads?
Data Loader CLI
Data Import Wizard
Data Export Service
Workbench
Data Loader provides a command-line interface that can be scheduled for automated recurring data loads. The Data Import Wizard is only available through the UI.
Which Lightning component allows you to display a list of related child records on a record page?
Related Record
Related List
Path
Report Chart
The Related List component shows child record lists on a Lightning record page. Related Record displays a single record and Path shows picklist progress.
Which feature allows you to track changes to up to 20 fields on an object?
Event Monitoring
Field History Tracking
Setup Audit Trail
Debug Logs
Field History Tracking can be enabled for up to 20 fields per object to record changes. Setup Audit Trail tracks configuration changes, not record data changes.
Which feature in Lightning App Builder enables placing individual fields and field sections on a Lightning record page layout instead of relying on the standard record detail component?
Lightning Tabs
Dynamic Actions
Flexipage Templates
Dynamic Forms
Dynamic Forms allow admins to place individual fields and sections directly on Lightning pages, providing finer control over layout and visibility. Dynamic Actions manage button visibility.
For complex sharing requirements that cannot be met by declarative sharing rules, which option allows you to programmatically share records?
Manual Sharing
Org-Wide Default
Apex Managed Sharing
Profile-Based Sharing
Apex Managed Sharing enables developers to create custom sharing records via Apex code, addressing advanced or conditional sharing scenarios. Manual sharing is limited to user actions.
When migrating records with very large text fields that exceed 32,768 characters, which data loading approach should you use to avoid API limitations?
REST Explorer
Bulk API via Workbench
Data Import Wizard
Data Loader (SOAP API)
The Bulk API supports larger payloads and can handle text fields exceeding the SOAP API character limit. Data Loader uses the SOAP API, which has smaller payload restrictions.
In a flow, which element should you use to invoke an Apex method that is exposed via @InvocableMethod?
Decision
Data Update
Apex Action
Subflow
An Apex Action element in Flow can call Apex methods annotated with @InvocableMethod, enabling custom logic execution within declarative Flows. Subflows call other Flows instead.
To grant users access to a new custom Lightning app, which two configurations must be completed?
Create a permission set for the app and assign to all users
Enable the app in permission sets and publish in AppExchange
Assign the app to user profiles and add its tabs to the navigation bar
Add the app to the App Launcher and share via a public group
To make a custom app available in Lightning Experience, you must mark it as visible for the user's profile and include its tabs in the app's navigation bar. This ensures the app appears in the App Launcher and nav menu.
