Great Ideas for Nonprofits Using Salesforce

1. NPC: Improve Consistency of Program Enrollment Related Lists
   Courtney Bethem Phillips (Exponent Partners)

   This Trailblazer points out that when adding the Benefit Assignment related list to a Program Enrollment page, internal and external users see different default lookup fields, which cannot be configured in the page builders. This inconsistency has caused significant troubleshooting time and requires a custom solution to ensure a consistent user experience across both internal and partner users. Improving the consistency of related lists could save a lot of time!
