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.

The action that the consultant should take when loading a large volume of alumni Contact records into a new Salesforce environment is B. Set the Account and Contact's sharing to Private before the data load1. This is because setting the sharing to Private can improve the performance and speed of the data load, as it reduces the number of sharing calculations and recalculations that Salesforce has to perform during the process. Setting the sharing to Private can also prevent unauthorized access and visibility of the data by other users until the data load is complete and verified2.

A . Set the Account and Contact's sharing to Public Read/Write before the data load and C. Load record owners after the Account and Contact data load is complete are not valid actions for this scenario. Setting the sharing to Public Read/Write can degrade the performance and speed of the data load, as it increases the number of sharing calculations and recalculations that Salesforce has to perform during the process. Setting the sharing to Public Read/Write can also expose the data to other users who may not have the appropriate permissions or roles to view or edit the data2. Loading record owners after the Account and Contact data load is complete can cause errors and inconsistencies in the data, as the record owners are required fields for the Account and Contact objects. Loading record owners after the data load can also trigger unnecessary workflows and validations that can affect the data quality and integrity3.

When a university is rolling out a student community to a large number of users, it is essential to ensure that the system can handle the increased load. Salesforce has governor limits that regulate the usage of resources to ensure the platform's stability and performance. The consultant should recommend identifying areas that may impact these governor limits, such as data storage, API calls, and processing limits. By understanding and planning for these limits, the university can optimize its implementation and avoid potential issues.

The Case object is used to track student incidents and resolutions in EDA. Cases can be related to Contacts, Accounts, or Affiliations using the standard lookup fields.Cases can also have Case Comments to capture additional information or communication about the incident1.The Attribute object is used to store additional information about Contacts or Accounts, such as demographics, interests, or preferences3. The Case Comment object is a child of the Case object and cannot be used independently.

The consultant should consider Program Management Module as a Salesforce solution to track program costs within its budget and related revenue streams each program brings to the school for the school for continuing education. Program Management Module is a product that allows users to manage programs, services, or interventions for their constituents. Program Management Module can help the school for continuing education track program costs within its budget and related revenue streams each program brings to the school by using features such as Programs, Services, Service Deliveries, or Service Reports. The consultant can also leverage other tools such as reports, dashboards, or formulas to track and analyze program costs and revenue streams. Accounting Subledger, Grants Management, or Marketing Cloud are not Salesforce solutions that can track program costs within its budget and related revenue streams each program brings to the school for the school for continuing education.
