Question 1

A Salesforce Application Architect is designing the data model for a financial services firm. Multiple users in different roles need to access Opportunities: sales reps can see only their own, managers can see their team's, and executives can see all. Which combination of features best meets this requirement?

Set Opportunity OWD to Private, use Role Hierarchy to grant manager and executive visibility, and create sharing rules or teams for exceptions Set Opportunity OWD to Public Read/Write so all users can access all records, and rely on field-level security to restrict sensitive data Create a separate Opportunity object per user role with Apex triggers to sync data between them Use Permission Sets to grant record access instead of the sharing model

Correct Answer:

Set Opportunity OWD to Private, use Role Hierarchy to grant manager and executive visibility, and create sharing rules or teams for exceptions

Question 2

A Salesforce Application Architect needs to store financial transaction data with 50 million records expected in the first year, growing 20 million per year. Which data architecture strategies should be employed from day one?

Use Skinny Tables by working with Salesforce support, implement an archiving strategy using Big Objects or external archiving, avoid SOQL queries without selective filters, and design custom indexes on high-cardinality filter fields Create multiple custom objects each storing 5 million records and use lookup relationships to join them at query time Store all records in a single custom object and rely on Salesforce's default indexing to handle query performance Use formula fields and rollup summaries extensively to pre-compute aggregations and reduce query load

Correct Answer:

Question 3

A Salesforce Application Architect is designing a Lightning App. Users need a guided step-by-step form for creating Opportunities with 8 stages of data entry. Which platform feature is MOST appropriate?

Salesforce Flow (Screen Flow) configured as a Lightning component embedded in the page or launched from a button, guiding users through each data entry stage A custom Apex controller with 8 separate Visualforce pages linked by Apex PageReferences A single Lightning Web Component with 8 conditional sections that all render at once and the user scrolls through An Approval Process with 8 approval steps where each approver fills in one stage of the Opportunity

Question 4

A Salesforce Application Architect must recommend the correct approach for building a custom Lightning component that automatically calculates a field value based on 5 other fields on the record WITHOUT user interaction. What is the MOST declarative approach?

Use a Salesforce Formula Field on the object that references the 5 source fields and automatically calculates the value Build a Lightning Web Component with JavaScript that watches all 5 fields and calculates the value client-side Create an Apex trigger that fires on every record save to calculate the value Use a Scheduled Apex job that runs every hour to recalculate the field for recently modified records

Correct Answer:

Use a Salesforce Formula Field on the object that references the 5 source fields and automatically calculates the value

Question 5

A company needs to share Opportunity records with a specific group of users who are not in the same role hierarchy branch and are not the record owner. Which mechanism should the architect use?

Criteria-Based Sharing Rules or Apex Managed Sharing to grant access to a specific Public Group based on field criteria on the Opportunity Change the Opportunity OWD to Public Read/Write to ensure all users can access all Opportunities Add all users to the same role in the role hierarchy so they can see each other's records Use Field-Level Security to make the relevant fields visible to the users who need access
