Key Features of User 360
Process Templates and Versioning
User 360’s Process Templates help automate workflows for tasks like onboarding, role changes, and offboarding. Administrators can create new templates, add multiple actions to each template, and set conditions to handle complex workflows. Additionally, the versioning feature ensures you can modify templates while keeping historical versions for reference.
- Benefit: Provides flexibility in automating repetitive tasks and allows easy template updates.
Requests (Including Bulk Requests)
User 360 allows administrators to create and track requests for various user actions. This includes single-user tasks and bulk requests, which are especially useful for onboarding or deactivating multiple users. With CSV uploads, bulk requests are handled efficiently. Administrators can monitor these requests with progress bars and detailed logs.
- Benefit: Reduces time spent on repetitive tasks by handling multiple actions simultaneously.
Seamless Transfer Records
With Transfer Records, administrators can quickly reassign records from one user to another. Whether performing ad hoc transfers or handling batch transfers, User 360 maintains data integrity throughout the process. Administrators can even define batch sizes and record limits for precise control.
- Benefit: Ensures smooth role transitions and reduces the risk of losing critical data when users leave or change roles.
Credit Overview for Actions
User 360’s Credit Overview provides detailed tracking of credits used for specific actions like process approvals or record transfers. Administrators can monitor credit consumption in real time, ensuring they allocate resources efficiently across different requests.
- Benefit: Offers visibility into credit usage, helping teams manage resources effectively for process-heavy actions.
Manage Users
The Manage Users section offers a comprehensive view of all users in your organization, enabling administrators to freeze, unfreeze, activate, or deactivate users in bulk. You can also initiate record transfers, update user details, and track the history of actions performed on each user. With User 360’s automation, repetitive tasks like mass updates or deactivations are simplified, making it easier to manage large groups of users across your Salesforce org.
- Benefit: Reduces time spent on administrative tasks by enabling bulk management of users and streamlining user updates.
Real-Time Enablement
Real-Time Enablement automates actions based on predefined triggers. For example, when a new user is created or updated by an external system, User 360 can automatically assign roles, permissions, or tasks. This reduces the need for manual intervention and ensures timely execution.
- Benefit: Ensures prompt, automatic actions even when users are created or updated via third-party systems.
User References and Permissions Management
User 360’s User References feature allows administrators to remove or replace permissions, public group memberships, or roles when deactivating users. This feature ensures that critical roles like Process Owner or Module Admin are reassigned to other users before deactivation, ensuring continuity.
- Benefit: Automates permission reassignment, reducing the chance of errors when managing user transitions.
License Optimization
The License Optimizer helps manage Salesforce licenses efficiently. Administrators can automate license assignments, reclaims, and reassignments, ensuring that each license is utilized fully. This feature prevents underutilization or overspending on licenses that are no longer needed.
- Benefit: Saves costs by optimizing license use, ensuring licenses are always assigned where necessary.
Logs and Audit Trail
User 360 provides detailed logs for every action performed. Whether transferring records, deactivating users, or changing permissions, the logs track every action. These audit trails make it easy to troubleshoot, review completed tasks and ensure compliance.
- Benefit: Enhances accountability and provides a clear audit trail for all user-related actions.
Multi-Org Support
Administrators can manage multiple Salesforce orgs using Multi-Org Setup. This feature allows for centralized management across different Salesforce environments. Some actions may be limited to single orgs, but User 360 offers a unified experience for managing user data across multiple instances.
