Pass the Salesforce Salesforce Consultant Education-Cloud-Consultant Questions and answers with CertsForce

The consultant should recommend Pathways for the academic advisor to review the classes associated with the student’s course of study and ensure the student is on track for graduation. Pathways allow advisors to create and monitor academic plans for students based on their program requirements and course offerings. Academic Program is an object that defines the program of study that a student is enrolled in, but it does not show the classes or progress. Affiliation is an object that tracks the relationship between a Contact and anAccount, such as a student and a school, but it does not show the classes or progress. References:

The consultant should recommend to hold a standingcommittee meeting as a governance best practice for the CRM steering committee that oversees the university’s Salesforce implementation. A standing committee meeting is a meeting that occurs regularly and consistently with a fixed agenda and attendees. A standing committee meeting can help the CRM steering committee oversee the university’s Salesforce implementation by providing a forum to review progress, discuss issues, make decisions, or communicate updates. Assigning only department leaders as champions, asking committee members to join a local Salesforce group, or creating a change management plan are not governance best practices that the consultant should recommend for the CRM steering committee that oversees the university’s Salesforce implementation.

There is a risk of lookup data skew when loading data into Salesforce in the order of Team, Course, Course Offering, and Account, because the Team object has a lookup relationship to the Accountobject, and many Team records may reference the same Account record. This can cause performance issues when querying or updating the data. Account is not a required field for Team, and there is no risk of account data skew, which occurs when a single userowns a large number of Account records. References:

Einstein Prediction Builder is a Salesforce solution that the consultant can recommend to automatically create a supporters’ score based on their donation amount, giving capacity, giving history, and relationship type to the university. Einstein Prediction Builder allows the consultant to create custom predictive models without code, using fields from any object as inputs and outputs. Tableau CRM, Nonprofit Success Pack, and Insights Platform Data Integrity are not Salesforce solutions that can create a supporters’ score based on the given criteria. References:

Ownership data skew is what the consultant shoulddiscuss with the university, because it is a potential performance issue that can occur when a large number of records are owned by a single user. In this case, the Integration User owns over one million Contact records, which can cause slow or failed queries, reports, or list views. The consultant should advise the university to distribute the ownership of the records among multiple users or queues to avoid ownership data skew. API call limits, account data skew, and OAuth token limits are not relevant tothis scenario. References:

The consultant should recommend Household as the Default Account Model for the university’s Advancement officethat plans to implement EDA to manage its alumni, donors, and supporters. Household is an account model that allows users to store information about individuals who are related by family or household relationships, such as spouses or siblings. Household can be used to track various information about an individual or a family unit, such as name, email, phone, address, or total household income. The consultant can help the university set up Household as the Default Account Model in EDA Settings so that a family record will be automatically created when a Contact record is created by staff members. Administrative, Educational Institution, and Person are not account models that can meet the requirement of setting up a system default that will automatically create a family record when a Contact record is created by staff members.

The consultant should discuss with the Association how they can configure Relationships to track alumni connections, and leverage a third-party app to support event management, as two Education Cloud considerations. 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.

Salesforce isthe system of record in the Suspect and Prospect stages of the recruitment and admissions process for the university. A system of record is a system that serves as the authoritative source of data for a given entity or process. Salesforce is the system ofrecord in the Suspect and Prospect stages, because it stores and manages information about potential students who have expressed interest or have been identified as targets by the university, such as name, email, phone, or program of interest. The StudentInformation System (SIS) is the system of record in the Applicant and Matriculated stages of the recruitment and admissions process for the university. The SIS is a system that stores and manages information about students who have applied or enrolled at the university, such as ID, transcripts, test scores, or financial aid. References:

QUESTIONNO: 94

An elementary school district has evaluated Nonprofit Success Pack and now wants to evaluate the K-12 Architecture Kit.

Which action should the consultant take?

A. Install the K-12 Architecture Kit from the AppExchange.

B. Start a new K-12 Architecture Kit trial.

C. Make K-12 Architecture Kit record types available to profiles.

D. Install the K-12 Architecture Kit from GitHub.

Answer: D

The consultant should install the K-12 Architecture Kit from GitHub to evaluate it for the school district. GitHubis a platform that hosts code repositories and allows users to collaborate on software development projects. The K-12 Architecture Kit is a solution that extends EDA to meet the needs of K-12 schools. The K-12 Architecture Kit provides objects and features to track student information, such as grades, attendance, and program enrollments. The K-12 Architecture Kit is not available on the AppExchange, but rather on GitHub as an open source project that users can install and customize. Installing the K-12 Architecture Kit from the AppExchange, starting a new K-12 Architecture Kit trial, or making K-12 Architecture Kit record types available to profiles are not actions that the consultant can take to evaluate it for the school district.

The consultant should consider moving old data out of the CRMinto a data warehouse as a data management strategy for the Advancement office that plans to use Salesforce and Marketing Cloud to engage its alumni, donors, and university supporters and wants to retain all contact data and email activity, including Individual Email Result (IER) data, but also wants to avoid unnecessary data storage. Moving old data out of the CRM into a data warehouse means transferring historical or inactive data from Salesforce into another system that can store large amounts of data for analysis or reporting purposes. Moving old data out of the CRM into a data warehouse can help the Advancement office retain all contact data and email activity, including IER data, but also avoid unnecessary data storage by reducing the amount of data in Salesforce and improving performance and efficiency. Creating a Force.com Query Plan for old data, using Data Studio to process old data, or using Data Loader to export old data are not data management strategies that can meet the Advancement office’s needs.

An app onthe AppExchange is a solution that the consultant can recommend to extend the Salesforce environment to support event management functionality. The AppExchange is a marketplace where customers can find apps that provide additional features and solutions for Salesforce. There are many apps on the AppExchange that offer event management capabilities, such as registration pages, ticketing, and agenda-building. The consultant can help the Advancement department choose an app that meets their needs and budget. Elevate and Giving Pages, Gift Entry Manager, and Event Monitoring are not solutions that can provide event management functionality. References:
