At Esperance Marine, reps open the Salesforce mobile app and cannot find the custom Vessel Inspection object, and they also want the items in the mobile navigation to appear in a specific order that matches their daily workflow. The reps all use a single Lightning app that the administrator maintains. What is the most appropriate way to control what the reps see and the order of items in the mobile app?

  • AReorder the tabs on each rep's profile under Tab Settings so the mobile app follows that order.
  • BEdit the Lightning app the reps use, add Vessel Inspection to its navigation items, and arrange the items in the required order. Correct
  • CConfigure the classic Salesforce mobile navigation menu in Setup and drag the items into order.
  • DCreate a compact layout for Vessel Inspection so the object appears in the mobile navigation.
The Salesforce mobile app navigation is driven by the navigation items of the assigned Lightning app. A Lightning app defines a set of ordered navigation items, and the mobile app renders those items for users assigned that app, so adding the custom object and reordering the items on the app is what changes both visibility and sequence in the mobile navigation.

Why A is wrong: Profile tab settings govern whether a tab is available and visible, but they do not set the ordered mobile navigation list, which is driven by the Lightning app's navigation items.

Why B is correct: In Lightning Experience the mobile navigation reflects the navigation items of the assigned Lightning app, so adding the object to that app and ordering the items controls both what the reps see and the sequence they see it in.

Why C is wrong: The standalone mobile navigation menu applied to the older mobile experience, and for a Lightning app the navigation now comes from the app's own navigation items, so editing a separate menu is the wrong lever here.

Why D is wrong: A compact layout only affects the fields on a record's highlights card and has nothing to do with whether an object appears in the navigation or in what order, so it does not solve the problem.

Exam traps in Productivity and Collaboration

Answers that look right on this material and are not. Each one is a distractor from a different question in the ADM-201 bank for this domain.

  • Salesforce Classic HTML email templates paired with a letterhead record.

    Why it is wrong: Classic HTML templates plus letterheads can carry branding and merge fields, but they are managed in the Classic template area and are not the tool Salesforce steers Lightning email authoring towards, making them the legacy rather than the recommended path.

  • The mobile app uses a separate security model, so profiles and permission sets must be reconfigured specifically for mobile users.

    Why it is wrong: This is tempting because the mobile interface looks different, but the mobile app shares the same security model as the desktop, so no separate reconfiguration is required.

  • Edit the Account page layout and drag the important fields to the top section of the detail area.

    Why it is wrong: The page layout governs the full record detail and the Lightning highlights panel picks its first fields from the compact layout, not from the top of the detail section, so reordering the detail area does not change the highlights card.
