Functions

Salesforce has a lot of power under the hood, but it comes with a learning curve. Click a Function on the right for an intro & real-world examples, or use the fields below to filter down your results. 🕵️‍♂️

Object Lists

N/A

Salesforce

Examples (1)

Patriot

Object Lists are a nice hybrid option for searching & viewing the index of a particular object. This is a great approach when you need more control than the Global Search can offer, but building up a Report feels like overkill.

Portal Invites

N/A

Salesforce

Examples (1)

Patriot

Portal Invites give HQ staff and chapter officers the ability to invite potential users to join MyDeltaSig, by creating an FSID account. Note that Portal Invites allow a potential user to bypass the "claim your account" process.

Events, Tasks & Files (Interactions)

Journals

Salesforce

Examples (1)

Patriot

Interactions are used to track individual touchpoints with a particular Account or Contact. The concept is similar to Patriot's Journal entries with a type of call or email, but with added features and a higher level of accessibility. You can also attach Files to a specific Contact or Account.

Staff Chatter

N/A

Salesforce

Examples (1)

Patriot

Chatter is our go-to spot for internal communications. Think of it as the staff bulletin board, scoped to a specific object—like a Contact, Chapter or Higher Ed Institution. Chatter can be found on the right column, when viewing a single object.

Report Naming & Organization

Saved Search List

Salesforce

Patriot

The Reports tab is similar to Patriot's Saved Search List, where you can review previously-created Advanced Searches. To keep our team as efficient and organized as possible, there are a couple of rules to follow when working with Reports.

Group Roles

Chapter Officers

Salesforce

Examples (3)

Patriot

A Group Role is Salesforce lingo for an officer. The Role indicates that a particular Contact holds (or held) a leadership position with a particular Group—such as a chapter, ACB or alumni association.

Report Building

Advanced Search/Reports

Salesforce

Examples (4)

Patriot

Reports allow you to run a search for objects in Salesforce, applying Filters to get exactly what you're looking for. This is similar to Patriot's Advanced Search for Chapters and People, but with much greater control over the output structure.
