Welcome to the HubCap

The HubCap is the monthly blog series that highlights the best of the Power of Us Hub! Think of this as your one-stop-shop for all Salesforce.org content and resources from the past month and a preview for what’s up and coming.

This recap will be a different this month — instead of a monthly recap, we’ll give you the best of the best from 2018.

So, let’s take a look at what happened in 2018!

10 Content & Community Highlights from 2018

1. Awesome New Product Features, Fixes & Updates

  • Customizable Rollups are here! Rolling up donor data is an essential part of fundraising with the Nonprofit Success Pack. And since every nonprofit is unique, it is especially important that you’re able to roll up exactly the data you need, and to the right records. With Customizable Rollups, you can create as many custom rollups as you need and define their process, filters, and where they roll up to…. check out all the details. Also, check out: Hard Credit vs. Soft Credit Customizable Rollups
  • Soft Credit Automation and Platform Data Encryption are now GA! With Automated Soft Credits, you no longer have to manually enter soft credit influence, instead, soft credits are automatically created based on Affiliation or Relationship information in the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP). By enabling Platform Encryption, customers who have purchased Shield platform encryption can encrypt various fields in NPSP including: Account Name, Account Billing Address, Account Website, Contact Name, Contact Mailing Address, Contact Other Address and Contact Title
  • 3 New Clouds: Nonprofit Cloud, Education Cloud and Philanthropy Cloud

8. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Resources

The European Union (E.U.) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was passed in 2016 with the intent of harmonizing European data protection laws into a single set of rules, while setting a new global gold standard for data protection and privacy. In effect on May 25, 2018, the GDPR is one of the most comprehensive and strictest regulations of its kind in the world. Learn more — all resources on the Salesforce.org’s GDPR website!
