Salesforce DEX-403 Declarative Development for Platform App Builders in Lightning Experience Exam Practice Test

Answer : B

For a customer service representative to collect information through a series of question prompts:

B . Flow. Salesforce Flows allow for the creation of guided interactions that can prompt users for information in a step-by-step manner.

Steps to create a flow for this purpose:

Navigate to Setup Flows.

Click on 'New Flow' and select a Screen Flow to interactively prompt users.

Design the flow with Screen elements for each question.

Add logic to process responses as necessary.

Save and activate the flow.

Embed or link the flow in a relevant location accessible to the service representative, such as on a record page or in the utility bar.

Flows provide a flexible and powerful way to interactively gather and process customer data in real time.

For detailed guidance on creating Flows, see Salesforce's Flow Builder documentation.

Answer : D

For automatically updating contact statuses when an account type changes:

D . Record triggered flow. This type of automation can monitor changes in account types and accordingly update related records, such as contacts.

Steps to implement:

Navigate to Setup Flows.

Create a new Flow and choose the record-triggered flow type.

Configure the flow to trigger when the Account record is updated to 'Past-Customer'.

Add an Update Records element to modify all related contacts, setting their status to 'Re-Market'.

Activate the flow.

This automation ensures that contact statuses are updated in real-time when their related account's type changes, maintaining data consistency and relevancy.

For more on record-triggered flows, check out Salesforce's Record-Triggered Flows documentation.

Answer : A

To allow quick editing of a record's status and entering a due date from the record's feed in the Salesforce Mobile App:

A . Custom action. This option enables users to perform specific tasks directly from the record page in the Salesforce Mobile App, such as editing fields.

Steps to create a custom action:

Navigate to Setup Object Manager select the relevant object.

Click Buttons, Links, and Actions New Action.

Set Action Type to 'Update a Record'.

Configure the action layout to include the Status and Custom Due Date fields.

Add the action to the Salesforce Mobile layout.

This setup provides an efficient way for users to update key fields without navigating away from the record feed.

For detailed setup instructions, see Salesforce's documentation on Creating Quick Actions.

Answer : C

To restrict visibility of the Jupiter field on the Solar System object specifically to users with the Outer Planets profile:

C . Field-level security (FLS). This allows the app builder to control access to fields based on user profiles.

Steps to set up field-level security:

Navigate to Setup Object Manager Solar System.

Select Fields & Relationships Jupiter field.

Click Field-Level Security.

For all profiles except Outer Planets, set the Visible option to unchecked, ensuring these users cannot see the field.

For the Outer Planets profile, check Visible to grant access.

This configuration ensures that only users with the Outer Planets profile can view the Jupiter field.

For more information on field-level security, check Salesforce's guide on Field-Level Security.

Answer : D

For tracking whether contracts have been sent for Opportunities:

D . Checkbox. This field type allows users to clearly indicate (Yes/No) whether a contract has been sent. This binary nature of checkboxes makes it simple to filter and report on Opportunities based on whether a contract was sent.

Steps to configure this field:

Navigate to Setup Object Manager Opportunity.

Click Fields & Relationships New Checkbox.

Define the field with a label (e.g., Contract Sent).

Set the default value to false (unchecked).

Add the field to the relevant page layouts.

This setup facilitates accurate reporting and ensures that opportunities cannot be marked as 'Closed Won' without indicating whether a contract was sent.

For guidance on creating fields, see Salesforce's documentation on Custom Field Creation.

Answer : B

Given the need to automate a welcome email including a customized survey with customization requirements and a tight timeline, the best approach is:

Use Salesforce Flow to build the survey declaratively to meet the criteria and send it to the customer as an email (B). Flow is a powerful tool for automation in Salesforce, allowing the creation of complex workflows and user interactions without needing to write custom code. It can be used to build a survey and integrate it with email services for automated dispatch.

Working with a developer to create custom Apex and LWC (A) might meet the criteria but would not align with the limited time frame. Managed (C) and unmanaged packages (D) from AppExchange can provide pre-built solutions, but they may not offer the needed customization or could require more setup time than building directly in Flow.

Answer : A

To ensure process compliance where cases cannot revert to an earlier status and certain fields are required based on specific case criteria, the recommended solution is:

Configure validation rules with help text (A). Validation rules enforce data integrity and business processes by preventing users from saving records if certain conditions are not met. For instance, a validation rule can prevent the status of a case from being changed back to an earlier status and can conditionally require fields based on other field values on the case.

Dependent picklists (B) ensure field values depend on another field's value but do not enforce the inability to revert status. Approval processes (C) are used for step-by-step record approval and are not designed to prevent status reversion or conditionally require fields. Making fields required on the page layout (D) ensures they are always required when accessing the record through that layout but does not enforce conditional requirements based on other criteria.
