CSA-C01 study plan

Create three custom roles and assign them to two test groups, then verify inherited access with an impersonated user

Build a custom table with at least six field types and configure a one-to-many reference to a second table

Write down the difference between role containment and group membership after testing both in a dev instance

Map each of the 12 exam domains to a personal confidence score from 1 to 5

Write a before business rule that sets a field value and log the order of execution against an after rule on the same table

Create a script include and call it from both a business rule and a client-callable context

Build an onSubmit client script that validates a field and blocks submission when invalid

Compare client-side and server-side gs usage and list which APIs are unavailable on each side

Add a UI action that calls a script include and test its visibility with a condition

Configure instance-level settings such as currency and time zone, then document where each setting lives

Create a dictionary override on an extended table and confirm the change applies only to the child

Debug a failing script using the system log and the script debugger

Build three filters using OR, AND, and a related-list condition, then save each as a personal list

Create a report of each core type (bar, pie, list) from the same filtered data

Add a UI policy that makes a field mandatory and read-only based on another field

Write a client script and a UI policy that achieve the same field behavior and note the tradeoffs

Build a flow with a approval action and an approval record, then run it end to end as two different users

Create a scheduled job that runs a script include on a recurring interval and verify the next-run time

Configure an email notification triggered by a record event and confirm delivery in the outbox

Compare Flow Designer and Workflow for a simple approval and state which you would choose and why

Create a catalog item with three variable types and a two-step approval

Publish a knowledge article and link it to the catalog item, then test search results

Build a transform map from a CSV data source into a staging table and map at least five fields including a coalesce

Run an import, fix one failed row using a transform script, and re-run the import

Navigate the platform to locate system properties, logs, and update sets without searching documentation

Create an update set, capture changes across two domains, and preview it in a second instance

Explain the instance hierarchy and where configuration versus customization belongs

Review domain weights and re-score confidence against week 1 baseline

Take a timed 60-question practice set and log every missed question by domain

Re-study the two weakest domains using targeted hands-on labs

Re-take the practice set and compare scores to confirm improvement

Write a final one-page summary of the concepts you still find least intuitive
