CSA Lightning Components 4 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which Lightning App Builder page type would you create to serve as the landing page for a custom Lightning app?
- Home Page
- App Page (Correct answer)
- Record Page
- Community Page
Correct answer: App Page
An App Page is designed to serve as the main landing page for a custom Lightning app, supporting single or two-column layouts.
Question 2: When a Lightning component is added to a Flow screen, which property must be configured to allow data to pass from the Flow into the component?
- targetConfigs with propertyType Input (Correct answer)
- flowInputs attribute in metadata
- flowContext variable binding
- API-accessible property in the component
Correct answer: targetConfigs with propertyType Input
In the .js-meta.xml file, targetConfigs with a property of type 'input' allows the Flow to pass data into the Lightning Web Component.
Question 3: What is the correct way to override a standard Salesforce action (like 'New' or 'Edit') with a Lightning component?
- Replace the action in Setup > Buttons, Links, and Actions
- Use a custom override in the Object Manager's Buttons, Links, and Actions section (Correct answer)
- Deploy the component with the action's API name as the component name
- Configure the override in the App Builder settings
Correct answer: Use a custom override in the Object Manager's Buttons, Links, and Actions section
Standard action overrides are configured in Object Manager under Buttons, Links, and Actions, where you can select a Lightning component as the override.
Question 4: Which scenario correctly describes when to use a Lightning App Page versus a Lightning Home Page?
- App Pages are for admins; Home Pages are for end users
- App Pages are customized per Lightning app; Home Pages are shared across all apps (Correct answer)
- App Pages support more components; Home Pages only support standard components
- App Pages require developer licenses; Home Pages do not
Correct answer: App Pages are customized per Lightning app; Home Pages are shared across all apps
Lightning App Pages are specific to individual Lightning apps, while Home Pages can be shared across multiple apps and assigned by profile.
Question 5: An administrator wants to add a custom Lightning component to the Salesforce mobile app. What must be true about the component?
- It must be built using Aura, not LWC
- Its metadata must include 'phone' as a supported target (Correct answer)
- It requires a Mobile Publisher license
- It must be a global component with no attributes
Correct answer: Its metadata must include 'phone' as a supported target
For a Lightning component to appear in the Salesforce mobile app, its .js-meta.xml must specify 'lightning__AppPage', 'lightning__RecordPage', or similar targets that include phone support.
Question 6: What does the 'masterLabel' property in a Lightning Web Component's .js-meta.xml file define?
- The API name used in Apex code
- The display name shown in Lightning App Builder (Correct answer)
- The component's default CSS class
- The parent component's identifier
Correct answer: The display name shown in Lightning App Builder
The masterLabel property sets the human-readable name that appears in the Lightning App Builder component panel.
Question 7: Which Lightning component feature enables an administrator to configure component properties directly in the App Builder without writing code?
- Design attributes / targetConfigs properties (Correct answer)
- Apex controllers with @AuraEnabled
- Static resources
- Connected Apps
Correct answer: Design attributes / targetConfigs properties
Design attributes (Aura) and targetConfigs properties (LWC) expose component properties as configurable fields in the Lightning App Builder's property panel.
