Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 37

A new field has been added to the Applicant object. A recruiter ran the `˜Position with or without Applicants' report and noticed that the new field was missing as an option to add as a column.
How should an app builder troubleshoot this issue?

Answer options

• A. Check ג€Allow Reportsג€ for the position and applicant objects
• B. Adjust the field level security to include in the report type
• C. Add the field to the custom report type field layout
• D. Update the profile with the ג€Manage Public Reportsג€ permission

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as adding the field to the custom report type field layout ensures that it is available for selection in the report. Option A is incorrect because 'Allow Reports' pertains to object permissions, not field visibility. Option B is also not correct because adjusting field-level security alone does not guarantee the field will appear in the report type unless it is added to the layout. Option D does not address the issue directly related to the visibility of the new field in the report.
