Address Management is a standard feature of EDA that the consultant can mention as part of the analysis of standard functionality in EDA. Address Management is a feature that allows the consultant to store multiple addresses for a Contact or an Account, and specify which address is current, seasonal, or preferred. Address Management also provides reports and dashboards that show address verification status and address changes. Student Advising, Event Management, and Degree Auditing are not standard features of EDA, but rather additional solutions or apps that may need to be purchased. Reference:

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 distribution and 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 configure a security setting to create a Program Plan sharing rule to provide Read access based on record type for the system admin who wants to use the recommended setup for external users when implementing Student Success Hub and Pathways in a new org for the Undergraduate Advising department. A sharing rule is a security setting that allows users to extend sharing access to users in public groups, roles, or territories. A Program Plan sharing rule can help the system admin provide Read access to external users based on record type by granting access to specific Program Plan records that are relevant or appropriate for external users, such as students or advisors. Creating an Account sharing rule to provide Read access based on record type, changing the default Program Plan sharing setting to Private, or creating a custom Permission Set for external users are not security settings that the consultant should configure for the system admin who wants to use the recommended setup for external users when implementing Student Success Hub and Pathways in a new org for the Undergraduate Advising department.

A scratch org is a dedicated, short term Salesforce environment that the consultant can use to test the new features they have configured in a version control-based process. A scratch org is a source-driven and disposable deployment of Salesforce code and metadata. A scratch org is fully configurable, allowing the consultant to emulate different Salesforce editions and features. A Developer Edition org, a full sandbox, and a partial copy sandbox are not dedicated, short term Salesforce environments that can be used in a version control-based process. Reference:

The consultant should recommend to hold a standing committee 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.
