Salesforce Certified Education Cloud Consultant (ED-Con-101) Exam - Topic 6 Question 111 Discussion

Posted by Pansy on Jul 08, 2025 at 06:40 AM

The Dean of the Business school has a dashboard that displays the application yield by program, geographic distribution of applicants, and recruitment pipeline. The Dean wants the same reports for program directors. Sharing settings have been configured so program directors can only see recruitment and application information for their own program.

How can the consultant meet the business requirement?

Suggested Answer: D

The consultant can meet the business requirement by setting View Dashboard As to the dashboard viewer and sharing it with program directors. This will allow the program directors to see the same reports as the Dean, but filtered by their own program, based on the sharing settings. Checking the Let Dashboard Viewers Choose Whom They View the Dashboard As on the Dean's dashboard, setting View Dashboard As to the Dean and sharing it with program directors, and adding a dashboard filter to the Dean's dashboard and saving it to All Folders are not options that can meet the business requirement.

C doesn't make sense for this situation.

Wait, can the Dean really share that info?

I disagree, I think A is more flexible.

Totally agree with D, it keeps it simple!

I believe option B could work, but it seems risky to set the dashboard view to the Dean. I’m not sure if that meets the requirement.

I’m a bit confused about whether option C would actually restrict the view to just their own program. I thought filters applied to all users.

I remember practicing a question about dashboard sharing settings, and I feel like option A might be the right approach since it allows viewers to see data relevant to them.

I think option D sounds familiar, but I'm not entirely sure if it allows for the right level of access for each program director.

Ah, I see, the dashboard filter in option C could be a good way to limit the data for each program director. I'll make sure to read the details on that one.

I think option B might be the simplest solution, but I'm not sure if that would still allow the program directors to only see their own data. I'll need to think this through carefully.

I'm a bit confused by the "View Dashboard As" setting. Does that let the program directors see the dashboard as if they were the Dean? I'll need to double-check how that works.

Okay, let me see here. I think the key is making sure the program directors can only see the data for their own program, so I'm leaning towards option D.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about how each one could address the business requirement.

I see your point, but I think option C could also work.

Ah, the ol' 'dashboard as a window to the soul' conundrum. I'd say Option C is the way to go, unless the Dean is feeling particularly generous and wants to give the program directors a glimpse of their inner workings.

Option B seems a bit risky. Sharing the Dean's dashboard as-is might reveal more information than the program directors are supposed to see. I'd play it safe with Option C.

That's true, Option D could also be a good solution as long as we set the permissions correctly.

But wouldn't Option D also work if we set the View Dashboard As to the dashboard viewer?

Hmm, I'm not sure about Option D. Letting the program directors view the dashboard as the dashboard viewer could lead to some confusion. I'd go with Option C.

Yeah, I agree. Adding a dashboard filter to the Dean's dashboard seems like the most secure option.

I think Option C is a good choice. It would ensure that the program directors only see the information relevant to their own program.

Option C looks like the way to go. Filtering the dashboard and sharing it with program directors seems like the most straightforward solution.
