UC assigns system accessibility via Permission Sets and Permission Set Groups to ensure each user has proper accessibility. In a department, there are different levels of support staff: 1) Elementary staff needs five consistent Permission sets to complete duties 2) Some higher-level staff needs some additional permission sets exclusive to them What should the app builder do to assign proper permission sets to users?
Answer: Utilize the manage assignment button to assign a permission set group and individual permission sets to users. Explanation
1) Permission Set: A permission set is a collection of settings and permissions that give users access to various tools and functions. Permission sets extend users’ functional access without changing their profiles. #Link: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=sf.perm_sets_overview.htm&type=5

An app builder uses Process Builder to create a Chatter post. Which two items should be avoided to ensure a post is successfully created? Choose 2 answers
Answer: Message Starts with a field reference
Message is posting to a Community user or group.
Unsupported Feeds

Chatter Message
- You can add up to 25 @mentions to a Chatter message.
- If you use Microsoft® Internet Explorer® version 11, you can’t paste text into a message. Copy and paste actions are allowed in all other supported browsers.
- Don’t start the message with a field reference, such as {![Account].Name}. Otherwise, the action fails to save. To work around this issue, add a space at the beginning of the message.

An app builder wants to add the option ‘Send New Email’ from Leads, Contacts, and Accounts for users on mobile. What is the benefit of using global actions to accomplish this?
Answer: Global actions can be accessed anywhere. Actions are available on mobile including record detail pages, feed, and Chatter groups.
Global actions:
- Let users create records, but the new record has no relationship with other records.
- And they’re called global actions because they can be put anywhere actions are supported—on record detail pages, but also places like the feed or Chatter groups.
- Global action is not object-specific, instead, it supports all objects which have activities enabled.
Object-specific Send Email actions:
- Available only on cases, give users access to a simplified version of the Case Feed Email action in the Salesforce mobile app.

DreamHouse Realty has a mentorship program that pairs experienced Realtors with new Realtors. Each experienced Realtor can mentor one or several new Realtors, and each new Realtor is required to work with a single experienced Realtor they report to for a probationary period.
What type of relationship would an app builder set up to meet this specification?
Answer: Master Detail
Explanation
Master-detail: Closely links objects together such that the master record controls certain behaviors of the detail and sub-detail record.
UMS has a lookup relationship between a custom ‘Galaxy__c’ object and a custom ‘Star__c’ object. An app builder wants to create a roll-up summary field that counts the total number of ‘Star__c’ records related to each ‘Galaxy__c’ record.
How would the current configuration impact the ability to achieve the desired result?
Answer: The lookup relationship would have to be converted to a master-detail relationship before a roll up summary field could be created.
Explanation
A roll-up summary field calculates values from related records, such as those in a related list. You can create a roll-up summary field to display a value in a master record based on the values of fields in a detail record. The detail record must be related to the master through a master-detail relationship.

After a deal is closed, CK wants to assign a user as a customer service manager (CSM) in addition to the account owner and would like a new field to easily track and report which CSM is assigned to the Account. What solution should an app builder use for this request?

CK is redefining its entire business process to convert the Manager Notes field from a Long Text Area field. The goal is to encourage managers to be more concise in their comments and stay at 255 characters or less. There is preexisting information in the Manager Notes field that often is well beyond the character limit.
What would happen to any existing information if the app builder tries to convert to preexisting Long Text Area field to Text Area?
Answer: Preexisting information will truncate to the first 255 characters
Explanation
When you convert a long text area field to an Email, Phone, Text, Text Area, or URL type field, the data in your records is truncated to the first 255 characters of the field.

After discovering the second sun in the solar system, UMS wants to change the field relationship between ‘Sun__c’ and ‘Planet__c’ to a lookup rather than a master-detail.
What should the app builder consider about the effect on reporting before making this change?
Answer: Existing reports created under the ‘Sun_c’ with ‘Planet_c’ report type made by Salesforce will be unusable but not deleted.
Explanation
Converting a relationship from lookup to master-detail or vice versa can cause existing custom reports to become unusable due to the different standard report types available for each type of relationship.

Universal Containers(UC) wants to delete data in several fields for 5,000 Lead records. UC exported the selected Record IDs and fields that need to have data deleted in a csv file.
Which two steps should an app builder suggest to meet these requirements? Choose 2 answers
Answer: Select Insert Null Values in Settings & Use Data Loader to update leads using the CSV file.
Explanation
The insert, update, upsert, delete, and hard delete wizards in Data Loader allow you to add new records, modify existing records, or delete existing records. Note that “upsert” is a combination of inserting and updating. If a record in your file matches an existing record, the existing record is updated with the values in your file.
UC has a custom ‘Invoice__c’ object and a custom ‘Invoice_Line_Item__c’ object. The ‘Invoice_Line_Item__c’ object has a lookup relationship to the ‘Invoice__c’. UC would like to convert the lookup relationship to a master-detail relationship but is unable to do so.
Which two reasons could be preventing this relationship conversion? Choose 2 answers
Answer: 1) Invoice_line_Item_c records exist without having the Invoice_c lookup field populated 2) There are already two master-detail relationships on the Invoice_Line_Item_c object
Explanation
You can convert a lookup relationship to a master-detail relationship if the lookup field in all the records contains a value. Each custom object can have up to two master-detail relationships.
https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=sf.relationships_considerations.htm&type=5
Which type of relationship can be defined with external objects? Choose 2 answers
Answer: 1) External Lookup 2) Indirect Lookup
Explanation
External objects support standard lookup relationships, which use the 18-character Salesforce record IDs to associate related records with each other. However, data that’s stored outside your Salesforce org often doesn’t contain those record IDs. Therefore, two special types of lookup relationships are available for external objects: external lookups and indirect lookups.
