Salesforce Exam Education Cloud Consultant Topic 4 Question 88 Discussion

Configuring Availability for Appointments:

The Benefit Schedule object is used in Education Cloud to manage availability for scheduling appointments.

This allows the institution to set up availability slots that students can book directly through a portal.

Setting Up Benefit Schedule:

Navigate to Setup: Go to the Salesforce Setup menu.

Create Benefit Schedules: Define the availability slots for counselors by creating Benefit Schedules.

Assign Benefit Schedules: Link these schedules to the respective counselors.

Integration with Portals:

Ensure that the portal used by students is configured to display available slots from the Benefit Schedule object.

Students can then book appointments directly based on the availability set in the Benefit Schedules.

Training and Adoption:

Provide training to counselors on managing their availability through Benefit Schedules.

Ensure students are aware of how to book appointments through the portal.
