Summary
In this chapter, we have explored what TDTM is and how it works with Nonprofit Cloud and the larger Salesforce instance to give you more granular control over how triggers fire in NPSP. TDTM allows triggers to be turned off, either permanently or temporarily, for some or all users. TDTM allows triggers to be reordered. TDTM also allows new triggers, or custom code, to be created and placed in the appropriate order within the order of execution.
The order of execution is a critical piece of every Salesforce puzzle. With the added functionality that Nonprofit Cloud brings, the order of execution becomes even more important.
