Platform-App-Builder Reviews Questions

To ensure sales reps input contacts into Salesforce rather than their personal devices:

C. Enable offline create, edit, and delete in Salesforce for Android and iOS. This feature allows sales reps to enter contact information directly into the Salesforce Mobile App even when they are offline, which syncs back to Salesforce once connectivity is restored.

Steps to enable offline capabilities:

Navigate to Setup → Mobile Administration → Salesforce Mobile App → Offline Settings.

Configure offline settings to allow for creating, editing, and deleting records.

Ensure that the Contact object is available for offline access.

This functionality encourages reps to use Salesforce directly by mitigating connectivity constraints.

For implementation details, refer to Salesforce Mobile App Offline.

When creating a new field, if an app builder does not want the field to be automatically added to pre-existing custom report types, the step to take is:

Deselect 'Add Field to Custom Report Types' (D). This option is available when creating or editing a custom field and ensures that the field is not automatically included in report types where 'Automatically add new custom fields to report type layouts' is enabled.

Removing the field from page layouts (A) affects the visibility on record pages but not reports. Adjusting visibility (B) or setting read-only access (C) for report profiles affects user permissions to see the field in reports, but does not remove the field from report types if it was previously added.

 Creating a formula field on the Contact object and setting the value of the formula to TEXT(Account.Account_Region__c) would reflect the region of the related account on the contact record and stay in sync if the value changes on the account. This is the most efficient and maintainable way to meet the requirement. Creating a workflow rule or a picklist field would require additional configuration and complexity

The Account record includes Invoice roll-up summary fields. This is correct because roll-up summary fields are only available on the master object in a master-detail relationship, and changing the field type to lookup would delete the roll-up summary fields
