Nonprofit-Cloud-Consultant Exam Dumps - Salesforce Certified Nonprofit Cloud Consultant (NPC) NP-Con-102

In NPSP, Engagement Plans are used to automate the creation of a set of tasks when a specific goal is identified (e.g., "Major Donor Stewardship"). It is critical to understand the relationship between the Template and the Instance.

The Logic of Decoupling:

The Template: This is the "blueprint" that defines which tasks should be created, who should own them, and what their due dates are relative to the start date.

The Engagement Plan (Instance): When a user applies a template to a Contact or Campaign, the system "explodes" the template and creates actual Task records and an Engagement Plan record.

Persistence: Once those tasks are created, they become independent records. If an admin modifies the original Engagement Plan Template (e.g., adding a new task or changing a deadline), NPSP does not retroactively update existing tasks or plans that were already generated. This is intentional to prevent disrupting ongoing workflows or overwriting manual changes staff may have made to their active tasks.

Result: Any modifications to the template will only be visible on new Engagement Plans created after the change was saved.

To update existing plans, the manager would have to delete the current Engagement Plan and re-apply the updated template, or manually add the new tasks to the current records.

In Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, Action Plan Templates are used to standardize repeatable processes, such as the steps required to onboard a new client or complete a grant application. To ensure data integrity and version control, Salesforce treats published Action Plan Templates as "locked" records.

When an organization needs to modify an "Active" or "Published" template—such as adding new tasks—the system does not allow direct editing of the existing record to prevent breaking current active Action Plans that were generated from that specific version. The standard procedure for a consultant is as follows:

Clone the Template: The user must select the existing Action Plan Template and use the Clone action. This creates a new "Draft" version of the template with all the existing tasks copied over.

Modify the Draft: In the new draft record, the consultant can add the additional tasks, define their priority, set the number of days for completion, and assign roles or specific users to those tasks.

Publish: Once the modifications are complete, the new template must be Published. Publishing makes the template available for users to generate new Action Plans.

Retire the Old Template: Although not strictly required to make the new tasks work, it is best practice for a consultant to deactivate or rename the old version to ensure staff only use the most up-to-date process moving forward.

Option B is incorrect because Salesforce does not typically allow you to "deactivate and edit" the task structure of a template that has already been published. Option A describes a specific setting that allows end-users to add extra tasks to an individual instance of a plan, but it does not address the requirement of updating the master template itself.

When a nonprofit organization needs to integrate external third-party applications into the Salesforce user interface while maintaining a seamless "single pane of glass" experience, Salesforce Canvas is the specialized tool designed for this purpose.

How Salesforce Canvas Works:

Application Encapsulation: Canvas allows a consultant to take an existing external web application (such as a legacy accounting tool, a specialized document management system, or a custom program tracking app) and "embed" it directly within Salesforce.

Authentication and Identity: Unlike a simple
