About this chapter
What this chapter covers
User Interface is 17% of the Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder exam. It covers user interface customization options, custom buttons, links and actions, declarative Lightning component options, programmatic Lightning component customizations, and global and object-specific actions for mobile.
Questions are mostly scenarios: a company has a requirement, and you choose the declarative feature or setting that meets it. Writing code is the expected answer only when declarative tools cannot meet the requirement.
How the topics fit together
The user interface is where users meet the app. Lightning apps group tabs, Lightning pages arrange components, actions speed up work, and custom components fill the gaps clicks cannot.
Changing what users see on a page is never a security control. Field-level security and sharing decide access; layouts and visibility rules only decide what is displayed.
How to use these pages
Each topic page has the same shape, so you can skim for what you need.
- What it is: the idea in plain words.
- How it works: the mechanism, with tables and examples.
- What to remember for the exam: the facts to memorise and how questions are phrased.
- Common mistakes: the classic traps.
- Check yourself: three questions to test your understanding.
