What this domain covers
What to know about Productivity and Collaboration
Be able to match a user's productivity need to the right Salesforce feature: activity tracking, email and calendar sync, search, and collaboration. The most important thing is knowing which tool syncs Outlook or Gmail events and how activity data is stored and shared.
Tracking user time on activities using Activity Timeline and related activity fields
Enabling Outlook and Gmail integration with Lightning Sync or Einstein Activity Capture
Speeding information lookup with Salesforce search, Search Layouts, and filters
Viewing open tasks and events through Home, Activities, and the Calendar tab
Watch out for
Common Productivity and Collaboration exam traps
- ▸Confusing Einstein Activity Capture with Lightning Sync, since they sync email and events differently and store data in different places
- ▸Assuming Chatter and Salesforce Files are the same; Chatter is for posts and feeds, Files is for storing and sharing documents
- ▸Forgetting that activity visibility depends on sharing settings and the Activity Timeline, not just record ownership
