Certified Platform App Builder Exam - Question 330


The app builder at Ursa Major Solar has just created a master-detail relationship between a parent object Galaxy__c and child object Star__c.

What would be the effect of creating this type of relationship if users want to report on Galaxy__c with Star__c?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

When a master-detail relationship is created between two objects in Salesforce, a standard report type is automatically generated to reflect the relationship between the parent object and the child object. In this case, with Galaxy__c being the parent and Star__c the child, a standard report type 'Galaxy__c with Star__c' will be created automatically. This enables reporting on Galaxy__c and its related Star__c records without the need to create a custom report type.

C is correct. A Parent with Child report is created by default.

If the "Allow Reports" checkbox for an object is checked, doesn't it automatically create a standard report type when a master-detail relationship is created? Therefore, isn't option D the wrong answer?

C is correct. For D, Star with Galaxy is not even what is asked.

Answer A. I created 2 cust objs with allow reports. Created a master detailed on one obj to other obj. And noticed no report types created for these 2 objs. We should manually create report type for these 2 objs.

The answer is C. https://classic.certifiedondemand.com/report-types/#:~:text=Standard%20report%20types%20are%20automatically,are%20added%20by%20an%20administrator. When to Create Custom Report Types Generally speaking, unless you need a custom report type, there is no reason to create one. Standard report types usually meet the majority of an organization’s needs. 1. Standard report types do not return the required set of records. 2. Standard report types do not include field(s) that you would like on the report.

The answer is C. https://www.salesforceben.com/features-custom-report-types/ When Should You Use a Custom Report Type? Custom report types come in when you want to go beyond standard and auto-created report types. Great examples of when you would look to create a custom report type are if you need to: Report on more than two objects at a time? Report using ‘without’ a relationship (eg. Contacts without Accounts), instead of just a ‘with’ relationship?

"if users want to report on Galaxy__c with Star__c" with this I'm assuming that "Allow Reports" is checked on Galaxy__c and Star__c https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000316872&type=1 for that reason C seems to be correct

should be A, When the custom object is the "child" in any master-detail relationship, a new standard report type will be created ("Parent WITH Custom Object" report type), but not the case when both objects are custom.

That's right but I have just created two Custom Objects with a master-detail relationship between them and a report type has been created automatically so if both are custom a report type is also created automatically.

I have just tried that scenario and a custom report type Galaxy with starts has been created automatically, so for certain is C.

for me report type is not automatically created

We need to check "Add this field to custom report type that contains this entity" checkbox while creating the master detail field on the child object...once we do this, the report type is automatically created. so the right answer is "C".

Answer is C. Report type is created and you can see it when you go to reports > new report> all report types>
