Contact
From the home page click Contacts
Use search to determine if the person you are appointing already has a contact record in Salesforce.
Type the persons first name and last name in the Search box at the top of the Salesforce Contact page. If you find a match use additional information, for example, email address or address, to confirm a match. Questions or concerns contact Abby Grow. If you find a match, skip steps 4 - 5 below and go to Create Appointment.
All YLS alumni, as well as current and former faculty and staff, should be found as as existing Salesforce Contact record.
4. From the Contact page, click New
Note: if you are a Center that tracks contacts affiliated with your Center, the data entry screen you see will be different from the one below, and will include Center specific fields.
5. Fill out the form that opens and click the Save button
All Contacts must have an affiliation with an Organization. For Fellows being hired and paid by YLS the Organization Name is Yale Law School or Yale Law School followed by the name of the Center. If the Fellow you are onboarding is not working for YLS (for example a Public Interest Fellow), you would enter the name of the organization they will be working for.
If you see the warning below when you click save, the contact you are creating may already exist in Salesforce. Please review potential duplicates before proceeding. If you have any concerns reach out to Abby Grow.
Create Appointment
From the contact record, click the New Appointment (Fellows Onboarding) button.
2. Enter data and click Save.
For Appointment name, copy and past the Appointee.
For Track select Fellows.
The Named Appointment field is important, it connects the appointment to your Center. Please select or create a named appointment that includes the name of your Center.
Upload CV
From the Appointment record, click the “upload files” link to upload the appointee’s CV.
You have now created a contact, added an appointment to the contact, send the appointee an email with a link to the data collection form, and uploaded the candidates CV. This completes the process.
