ADM-201 Exam Dumps - Salesforce Certified Platform Administrator (Plat-Admn-201)

When an AI agent like Agentforce transfers a conversation to a human support representative, the goal is a "warm handoff" where the rep can see exactly what the customer and the AI discussed. If reps are complaining about a lack of context, the most common administrative cause is that the Conversation History component (or Agent History component) has not been added to the Case Lightning Record Page. Without this component on their page layout, the rep sees the newly assigned case but cannot see the transcript of the preceding chat session. To resolve this, the Platform Administrator should use the Lightning App Builder to add the relevant history component to the Case page used by the support team. Option D is less likely if escalation is working but context is missing. Option A would prevent users from using Agentforce features but wouldn't specifically hide the transcript of a finished AI interaction. Ensuring the UI includes the conversation history is critical for maintaining high customer satisfaction during handoffs.

The most efficient and descriptive way to troubleshoot a flow is to use the native Debug feature within the Flow Builder. This tool allows the Platform Administrator to "run" the flow in a safe environment, simulating the creation or update of a record. As the flow executes, the Debugger provides a step-by-step panel showing exactly how variables were assigned, which paths were taken in "Decision" elements, and whether any "Update" or "Create" elements failed. It explicitly highlights where an error occurred and provides a detailed error message. While general Debug Logs (Option D) can capture flow information, they are much harder to read and require setting specific trace flags. The Setup Audit Trail (Option A) only shows configuration changes, not runtime errors. Email logs (Option B) are only useful if the flow is failing to send an email. The Flow Debugger is the primary tool for administrators to refine logic and fix issues before activating automation.

To "predict upcoming revenue" and "benchmark performance," Salesforce provides the Collaborative Forecasting feature.

Forecasting (Option B):This tool allows managers to see their pipeline summarized by time period (quarters) and category. It provides a real-time view of what the team expects to close.

Opportunity Stages (Option D): Forecasting relies directly on the Opportunity Stage. Each stage is mapped to a "Forecast Category" (e.g., Pipeline, Best Case, Commit, Closed). By accurately defining these stages and their associated probabilities, the Platform Administrator ensures that the forecast reflects a realistic revenue prediction.

Sales Quotes (Option A) are for generating customer-facing documents. List Views (Option C) are for managing individual records but do not provide the multi-quarter aggregation and benchmarking capabilities required by the sales director.

To manage different levels of support service (Gold, Silver, Bronze), Salesforce uses the Entitlement Management feature. An "Entitlement" defines the specific type of support a customer is eligible for. To "ensure that this is part of every client's account" automatically, a Platform Administrator should use Flow Builder. A record-triggered flow can be set to run whenever an Account is updated to "Customer" status or when a specific "Service Level" field is populated. The flow can then automatically create or link an Entitlement record to that Account. This ensures that when a new case is opened, the support agent immediately sees the SLA (Service Level Agreement) associated with that customer. Routing Configurations (Option B) and Assignment Rules (Option D) handle who gets the case, but they do not define the level of service. Email-to-Case (Option C) is an intake method, not a service-level tracking tool.

When users share the same profile but require different user interface experiences, Component Visibility is the most effective tool. In the Lightning App Builder, the administrator can select the "Related List" component (or a "Related List - Single" component for Retention) and add a visibility filter. The filter can be set to "User > Permission > Custom Permission" or "User > Profile," but since they share a profile, the best approach is to filter based on a Permission Set or a specific user field. This allows the Retention list to be visible only to the Client Services team members while remaining hidden for the Customer Support team, even though they are looking at the same record. Page Layout Assignment (Option A) and Record Type Assignment (Option C) are profile-based and would not work since the teams share a profile. Sharing Settings (Option D) control access to the data itself, but the request specifically asks to hide the UI element (the related list).

When a user is locked out of Salesforce due to too many incorrect login attempts, the Platform Administrator must take specific actions on the user's record detail page to restore access. First, the administrator should click the Unlock button19. This clears the lockout status immediately20. Second, because the user likely forgot their credentials (causing the failed attempts), the administrator should use the Reset Password button21. This sends a temporary link to the user’s email, allowing them to create a new password and log in successfully. "Logging in as the user" (Option A) is a troubleshooting tool for existing sessions but cannot bypass a lockout or change a password on the user's behalf. Changing "Password Policies" (Option D) would affect the entire organization and is not a valid way to help a single locked-out individual.

In the Salesforce Setup menu, Company Settings (formerly Company Profile) is the central location where global organizational parameters are managed. This section contains several key settings. Under Company Information, the admin can view the Org ID, default time zone, and primary currency. The Fiscal Year settings allow the admin to define whether the organization follows a standard Gregorian calendar or a custom fiscal cycle. Business Hours are used to define the working times for the organization, which is critical for calculating milestones in Service Cloud or escalation rules. If Multi-Currency is enabled, this is also where exchange rates and active currencies are managed. Viewing and configuring these settings is a foundational task for any Platform Administrator, as they establish the baseline for how data is interpreted and how time-based automation functions across the entire instance. Ensuring these are correct is vital for accurate financial reporting and maintaining service level agreements (SLAs).

An Approval Process consists of several stages, each with its own set of automated actions. When a record is first submitted, it is typically locked to prevent further edits. If a user needs to "reverse" that submission—perhaps because they realized they made a mistake or the deal terms changed—the administrator must configure Recall Actions12. A recall action is specifically designed to allow the submitter or an administrator to pull the record back out of the approval queue. Common recall actions include a Field Update to change the status back to "Draft" and, most importantly, an action to unlock the record so it can be edited again. Final Rejection Actions (Option A) occur when an approver denies the request, and Final Approval Actions (Option C) occur when the request is fully granted. Initial Submission Actions (Option D) are what lock the record and start the process in the first place.
