Topic #: 1
[All Salesforce Certified Education Cloud Consultant (ED-Con-101) Questions]

An Admissions office is using Education Cloud to manage its student application review process. The office needs to make sure students cannot edit applications after the submission deadline.

Which two features could the consultant use to meet this requirement?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Using OmniStudio FlexCard:

OmniStudio FlexCard can be used to create a dynamic user interface that displays the application data in a structured format. This can include conditional logic to show or hide fields based on the submission status of the application.

Applying Validation Rule:

A validation rule can be used to enforce that applications cannot be edited after the submission deadline. This ensures data integrity by preventing changes to the application record once the deadline has passed.

Steps to Implement:

Create a FlexCard:

Navigate to OmniStudio > FlexCards.

Create a new FlexCard that displays application details and includes logic to disable editing past the deadline.

Set Up Validation Rule:

Go to Setup > Object Manager > Application Object.

Create a validation rule to check if the current date is past the submission deadline and prevent edits.

Example validation rule: AND(ISCHANGED([Application].Status), [Application].Status = 'Submitted', TODAY() > [Application].Submission_Deadline__c)

Testing:

Test the FlexCard and validation rule to ensure that students cannot edit their applications after the submission deadline.

Ensure the user interface and validation rule work seamlessly together to provide a smooth user experience.

Sharing rules don't really fit this scenario, right?

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. What exactly are they looking for in terms of "features" to prevent edits? I'll need to re-read it a few times to make sure I understand.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know Viva Insights is related to Microsoft 365, but I'm not sure which specific apps it integrates with. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I see your point, Skye. But sharing rules can also control access to records, so B) could be the right choice.
