CII Note:  CII has disabled lead qualification.  At CII, every person record is a contact.

CII Note:  Accounts = Companies, whether they are members or non-members.

CII Note: Salesforce has the ability to allow a person to be associated with more than one Account. At CII, people should only be actively associated with one account at any time. We will use “Indirect” relationships to show former employer history.

CII Note: CII will limit document uploads due to cost. Use other current file storage options such as the CII Shared “I” Drive or UT Box.  Talk to the Information Services team if you think can certain kinds of documents (contracts, member applications perhaps?) might be useful within Salesforce. 

Work with Your Salesforce Admin
