What to know about Object Manager and Lightning App Builder
Be able to pick the right field type and configure objects, picklists, and Lightning pages declaratively. The single most important thing: know which field types and relationships support each feature, especially that formula fields cannot control dependent picklists and roll-up summaries need Master-Detail.
Selecting correct field types like Formula, Roll-Up Summary, and Lookup versus Master-Detail relationships
Configuring dependent picklists, controlling fields, and validating field-level security and page layout assignments
Building Lightning record pages, app pages, and home pages with components in Lightning App Builder
Editing field labels, help text, and object details through Object Manager sections
Watch out for
Common Object Manager and Lightning App Builder exam traps
- ▸Assuming a Formula field can act as a controlling field for a dependent picklist, which it cannot because controlling fields must be picklist or checkbox types
- ▸Using validation rules or Apex when a simpler declarative option such as a page layout or dynamic form would satisfy the requirement
- ▸Confusing Roll-Up Summary fields, which require Master-Detail relationships, with formula fields that calculate on the same record
