Overview

Organizations in Element451 are a way to group specific people records. Those people records have an organization-person relationship with one of the following relationship types: student, employee or contact.

Generally, organizations are external to the institution, although you could use organizations to track groups within your institution as well. For example, you might create organizations for feeder high schools/colleges, community-based organizations (CBOs), professional organizations, corporations/businesses and independent college counselors.

Field and Search Capabilities in Organizations

  • The relationships within organizations can be student, employee, or contact.

  • Organizations contain Bolt UI components, making it possible to inline edit certain field tabs, add custom labels, add custom icons or names, and do quick, seamless entries that also can autofill (i.e., addresses will auto-populate).

  • Within Organizations, users can do a full segmentation search. For example, an organization search specific to the intended term, territory, or school.

  • An organization can be assigned to a specific user, which allows for a more seamless, personalized, and branded experience.

  • Communications with members of a specific organization can be created to work with specific triggers, actions, or milestones.
