Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 257

What is a true statement when deleting a dashboard?

Answer options

• A. Deleting a dashboard also deletes the components within it. It does not delete the custom reports used by the components.
• B. Deleting a dashboard does not move the dashboard to the Recycle Bin and therefore the dashboard cannot be recovered.
• C. Deleting a dashboard also deletes the components within it as well as the custom reports used by the components.
• D. Deleting a dashboard requires a user to first edit the components to remove the underlying reports.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because deleting a dashboard removes its components but does not affect the custom reports. Option B is incorrect as it implies that deletion leads to permanent loss without recovery options, which can be misleading. Option C is wrong because it states that custom reports are also deleted, which is not the case. Option D is false since you do not need to edit components before deleting the dashboard.
