Education-Cloud-Consultant Salesforce Certified Education Cloud Consultant Exam (SP25) Questions and Answers

Salesforce Education Cloud is designed tomeet the needs of educational institutions, providing a comprehensive set of features to manage student lifecycle, from recruitment to alumni engagement. A standard feature of Education Cloud is Student Advising, which helps institutions offer personalizedsupport and guidance to students throughout their academic journey. This functionality includes tracking student progress, scheduling advising sessions, and providing insights into student performance and needs.

After installing EDA, the consultant needs to make the EDA record types available to profiles that need to accessthem. This is because EDA comes with several custom record types for standard objects, such as Account, Contact, Course, and Program Enrollment. These record types enable different views and fields for different types of records, such as Household, Student, Faculty, Course Offering, and Program Enrollment. By default, these record types are not assigned to any profiles, so the consultant needs to manually assign them to the appropriate profiles based on the business requirements and user roles of the university. This will ensure that the users can see and use the EDA record types and fields correctly and efficiently. References: Education Data Architecture Basics, Assign Record Types to Profiles

Relationships is a feature that allows the Association to create and manage connections between Contacts in EDA. Relationships can be used to track various types of connections, such as family, friends, mentors, or board members. A third-party app is an application that provides additional features and solutions for Salesforce. There are many third-party apps on the AppExchange that offer event management capabilities, such as registration pages, ticketing, and agenda-building. The consultant can help the Association choose an app that meets their needs and budget. Using Grants Management to track alumni scholarships, or installing Insights Platform to understand alumni data, are not Education Cloud considerations that the consultant should discuss with the Association.

The best solution for the Recruitment and Admissions office to use Salesforce to track prospective students, recruitment events, student applications, digital engagement, and interactions with prospects on their mobile devices isC. Einstein Bots12. Einstein Bots are chatbots that use artificial intelligence (AI) to automate conversations with prospective students on various channels, such as SMS, social media, and email. They can provide information, answer questions, collect data, and hand off the conversation to a human agent if needed.Einstein Bots can help the Recruitment and Admissions office to track digital engagement and interactions with prospects on their mobile devices, and improve the student experience12.

A third-party appis not a Salesforce solution and may not be compatible with the Salesforce platform or the Education Data Architecture (EDA) that the Recruitment and Admissions office uses.Salesforce Maps is a location intelligence solution thathelps sales and service teams optimize their territories, routes, and schedules3. It is not directly relevant to the scenario described in the question.

 The consultant should document risk for a customer in an Education Cloud implementation by maintaining a project health dashboard. A project health dashboard is a tool that provides a visual representation of the status and progress of a project, such as key milestones, deliverables, issues, or risks. A project health dashboard canhelp the consultant document risk for a customer in an Education Cloud implementation by identifying and tracking potential threats or challenges that may affect the project scope, timeline, budget, or quality, and providing mitigation strategies or contingency plans. Configuring an Early Alert, recommending a Center of Excellence, or sharing Salesforce resources with the customer are not ways to document risk for a customer in an Education Cloud implementation.

The consultant should recommend Salesforce Maps as a solution to help recruiters manage their travel, including route planning, and identify students’ locations so they can be invited to a recruitment event for the institution’s Admissions office. Salesforce Maps is a product that allows users to optimize their territories, routes, and schedules based on geographic data and insights. Salesforce Maps can help recruiters manage their travel, including route planning, and identify students’ locations so they can be invited to a recruitment event by using features such as Live Tracking, Route Optimization, Geocoding, or Map Layers. Field Service, Territory Management, or Marketing Cloud are not solutions that can help recruitersmanage their travel, including route planning, and identify students’ locations so they can be invited to a recruitment event for the institution’s Admissions office.

Salesforce Inbox is a solution that a consultant can recommend to major gift officers who want to send mass emails to constituents in their territories and automate donor prospect prioritization based on engagement and specified criteria. Salesforce Inbox integrates email and calendar with Salesforce, allowing users to track email opens, clicks, and replies, sync events and tasks, and create and update records from their inbox. Salesforce Inbox also supports Einstein Activity Capture, which automatically logs email and calendar activity to the relevant records in Salesforce, and Einstein Lead Scoring, which assigns a score to each lead based on their profile and behavior2. Salesforce Inbox can help major gift officers save time, increase productivity, and focus onthe most promising prospects.

Account Engagement and Salesforce Engage are not valid solutions for this scenario. AccountEngagement is a feature of Education Cloud that allows users to score and grade accounts based on their engagement and fit with the institution3. However, Account Engagement does not support mass email or automation of donor prospect prioritization. Salesforce Engage is a feature of Pardot that allows users to send personalized emails to prospects and track their interactions4. However, Salesforce Engage is not designed for nonprofit or education use cases, and it requires a Pardot license.

The consultant should clone the EDA Compact Layout as a step toaccomplish making changes to compact layouts in EDA and having those changes persist when a new release is pushed to the Salesforce environment. A compact layout is a layout that shows key fields of a record in a summary view, such as in a list view or a record highlight panel. Cloning the EDA Compact Layout means creating a copy of the default compact layout provided by EDA and making changes to it, such as adding or removing fields. Cloning the EDA Compact Layout can help the consultant accomplish makingchanges to compact layouts in EDA and having those changes persist when a new release is pushed to the Salesforce environment by ensuring that the custom compact layout will not be overwritten by EDA updates. Editing the Mini Page Layout, assigning the Mini Page Layout to all users, or creating a custom Record Type are not steps that the consultant should take to accomplish making changes to compact layouts in EDA and having those changes persist when a new release is pushed to the Salesforce environment.

The Admissions Insights dashboard in Salesforce Education Cloud provides a comprehensive view of the admissions process, offering pre-built reports and dashboards that track key metrics such as application status, total number of applications, and comparisons to previous periods. This dashboard allows staff to easily monitor and analyze admissions data without the need to create custom dashboards from scratch, thus maximizing the value of their Education Cloud org and CRM Analytics.

Chatter is a collaboration tool that allows users to share information, files, and feedback with each other. It can also be used to publicly recognize and reward early adopters who are using Salesforce effectively and demonstrating best practices. This can help motivate other users to adopt Salesforce and increase their engagement and productivity. Chatter can also facilitate peer-to-peer learning and support among users, as well as provide feedback and insights to the project team and sponsors. References:

 The consultant should use an Opportunity report to meet the business requirement of showing the pipeline of custom programs for the Executive Education department. An Opportunity report is a type of report that shows information about Opportunities, such as amount, stage, probability, or close date. An Opportunity report can help the department director know the pipeline of custom programs by showing the distributionand performance of Opportunities by various criteria, such as program type, account, or owner. Creating a custom report type, setting up an Affiliations report, or configuring a list view are not ways to meet the business requirement of showing the pipeline of custom programs for the Executive Education department.

The consultant should create a Student Case record and an Administrative Account record to set up a student in Student Success Hub. Student Case is an object that represents a student’s request for assistance or support from an advisor or a counselor. Student Case can be used to track various information about a student’s issue, such as status, priority, category, or resolution. The consultant should create a Student Case record for each student who needs assistance or support from Student Success Hub. Administrative Account is an account model that allows users to store information about individuals who are related toan educational institution, such as students, faculty, staff, or alumni. Administrative Account can be used to track various information about an individual, such as name, email, phone, or address. The consultant should create an Administrative Account record for each student who is enrolled in the educational institution. Creating a User record or a Household Account record are not steps to set up a student in Student Success Hub. References:

Einstein Opportunity Scoring is a reporting solution that the consultant can recommend to help the VP of Development prioritize pledges that are most likely to close. Einstein Opportunity Scoring is a feature that uses artificial intelligence to analyze historical data and assign a score to each Opportunity, indicatinghow likely it is to be won. Einstein Opportunity Scoring also provides insights and explanations for the score, such as key factors and trends. The VP of Development can use Einstein Opportunity Scoring to sort and filter Opportunities by their score andfocus on the ones with the highest probability of closing. Salesforce Maps, Opportunity Funnel Report, and Einstein Forecasting are not reporting solutions that can help the VP of Development prioritize pledges that are most likely to close. References:

The consultant should advise the college to use third-party apps that are EDA ready, because this can ensure that any future apps and configurations are compatible and support the Table Driven Trigger Management (TDTM) functionality. EDA ready apps are apps that have been certified by Salesforce.org as compatible with EDA and its features, such as TDTM. TDTM is a feature that allows users to customize the behavior of EDA triggers and disable or enable them as needed. EDA ready apps can help the college extend the capabilities of their existing Salesforce environment without compromising the functionality or performance of EDA. Using the yaml file from Salesforce.org GitHub, using a Salesforce.org community solution, or using third-party apps that are powered by EDA are not advice that the consultant should give to the college.

Full Sandbox and Partial Sandbox are two types of sandboxes that meet this usecase for the university that is implementing Advisor Link and needs to test the integration with its SIS, and provide training space for advisors. A sandbox is a copy of a production environment that allows users to develop, test, or train without affecting live data or operations. A Full Sandbox is a type of sandbox that copies all data and metadata from the production environment. A Partial Sandbox is a type of sandbox that copies all metadata and a sample of data from the production environment based onspecified criteria. The university can use a Full Sandbox or a Partial Sandbox to test the integration with its SIS, and provide training space for advisors with access to some of the data from the production org. Developer Sandbox and Developer Pro Sandbox are not types of sandboxes that meet this use case for the university that is implementing Advisor Link and needs to test the integration with its SIS, and provide training space for advisors.

The Appointment Attendeeobject in Student Success Hub is used to track the students and support staff who attend an appointment1. The Student Success Hub Tableau Accelerator uses data from this object, along with other objects such as Alert, Appointment, Case, Contact, Course Connection, Course Offering, Program Enrollment, Term, and User, to create visualizations of student and support staff data2. TheBehavior Incident object is not part of Student Success Hub or the Tableau Accelerator. The Availability Topic object is used to categorize the availability of support staff for appointments1, but it is not used by the Tableau Accelerator. References:

The Education Data Architecture (EDA) provides a feature to track and manage multiple addresses for contacts and accounts using the Address object1. The Address object has a field called “Inactive” that indicates whether the address is currently in use or not2. By selecting the “Inactive” checkbox on the Address record, the consultant can mark the address as inactive and have it sync to the contact record. The contact record will then show the inactive address in the Mailing Address field, with a strike-through line to indicate that itis no longer valid3.

Setting the inactive address on the contact record through integration is not a recommended solution, as itwould bypass the EDA address management feature and create inconsistency between the contact and address records. Developing a custom trigger to update the contact record is also not necessary, as EDA already provides a built-in mechanism to handle inactive addresses using the Address object.
