Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 132

You should use a Validation rule if __________. (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. You want to improve user efficiency by limiting the number of available options in a lookup search dialog.
• B. You are close to the maximum number of lookup filters allowed.
• C. You want to improve user efficiency by automating filters on lookup search dialogs that your users manually set.
• D. You must implement a complex business rule that requires you to use a formula. Formulas can reference fields that basic filter criteria can't reference, such as fields on the parent of the source object. Formulas can also use functions. For example, use ISNEW if the rule should only apply on record creation, or ISCHANGED if the rule should apply when a field changes.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers, B and D, are appropriate because B indicates a situation where the maximum number of lookup filters is being approached, which necessitates a validation rule, while D explains the use of formulas for complex business rules. Options A and C focus on improving user efficiency through limiting options or automating filters, which do not directly pertain to the function of validation rules.
