Best practices, tips, and tricks
Helping your users understand how important it is to maintain the integrity of your data is critical. It really is a team effort to leverage Nonprofit Cloud to get the highest return on your investment. Good data hygiene will protect an organization's investment and return information via reports and dashboards or tableau for more impact on the social issues that the nonprofit is tackling.
Get your users on board
For all the work that you do in Salesforce, your users probably do much more. They are constantly creating new data and updating existing data. Make it easy for them.
Set the matching rules and duplicate rules so that users are easily alerted when they start to create a record that may be a duplicate. Configuring the settings to alert users to duplicates when they edit records can also help with ongoing maintenance and data hygiene. Merging a duplicate record as it is discovered allows distribution of the hygiene duties.
