Overview of this book

Do you want to be able to confidently design and build apps that support business processes within the Lightning Platform? Salesforce Platform App Builder Certification Guide not only helps you to do this, but also prepares you for the certification exam.

You'll learn techniques for data modeling to design, build, and deploy apps without writing code and achieve rapid results with the declarative capabilities that the Lightning Platform provides. Next, you'll explore utilities for importing and exporting data and the features available in the Lightning Platform to restrict and extend access to objects, fields, and records. You'll also be able to customize the Salesforce Lightning Experience user interface (UI) and build functionality for custom buttons, links, and actions. Later, this certification study guide will take you through reporting and the social and mobile features of the Lightning Platform. Finally, you’ll get to grips with Salesforce build environments and deployment options. By the end of this Salesforce book, you'll not only have learned how to build data models, enforce data security, and implement business logic and process automation, but also have gained the confidence to pass the Platform App Builder exam and achieve Salesforce certification.

Configuring the Salesforce mobile application user interface

The options and capabilities of the Salesforce Mobile App are not the same as the full Lightning Platform application, and there are many differences within the Salesforce Mobile App, in particular, concerning the ways in which data is entered, screens are presented, and navigation is carried out between screens.

Salesforce has built mobile-friendly alternatives to the way information is captured, and navigation takes place accordingly to cater for the much smaller screen real estate and the reduced capability of a mobile device to display functions and features to a user.

Differences between the full Lightning Experience app and the Salesforce Mobile App
