Let get started with Salesforce Education cloud. In this session we will learn about What is Education Cloud & Why Use it?

What is Education Cloud

Education Cloud is a solution for an institution to better manage Student Experience, Advancement & Alumni Engagement, Recruitment & Admissions, and Marketing. This Information can be tracked to better serve an individual’s education journey and beyond. Education Cloud helps you move from siloed data to a Connected Campus, giving you a 360-degree view of a student.

Terminology

  • Affiliation – Relationship between a Contact and an Account
  • Account Record Types – Allows an account record to be unique to certain business process used by various departments
  • Student Advisor Link (SAL) – Gives advisors the tools to support and lead students on the path of a successful education
  • Advisee Record – Case object record which acts a hub for a student’s advising-related data
  • Appointment – A meeting between advisor and student, scheduled from Advisor Link in Salesforce or from the Advisee Portal
  • Success Plan – Set of tasks for a specific advisee to complete, assigned by the student’s advisor
  • Success Plan Template – Reusable series of tasks to assign to advisees
  • Advisee Portal – Where a student can log in, set up appointments, and view tasks & other information related to them
  • Alerts – Object where advisors can track concerns that emerge during a student’s
  • academic journey

Best Practice and Integration

Selecting the correct Account model in EDA is a great first step in setting up your instance

Establishing an institutional Account hierarchy is foundational for a 360-degree view of your organization and your contacts

The Advisee Case Record in SAL

  • Key advising-related data ties back to the Advisee Case record
  • Advisee Record is a Record Type on the standard Case object
  • You can only have one open Advisee Case record per student

Success Plans in SAL

Success Plans allow advisors to assign tasks to the Student

Tasks are grouped in a Success Plan toward a specific goal or milestone

Advisors can use Success Plan Templates (which contain the reusable task configuration) to assign a Success Plan to a student

Students can see Success Plan and Tasks in the portal and Advisors can see them on the Advisee/Advisee case records
