# How Success Teams Work

Use Salesforce case objects to model success teams in an educational institution. Define advising workspaces, staff roles, and team structures.

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small " summary="Editions Needed"><caption>Editions Needed</caption> <colgroup><col style="width:100%"></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong> Editions with Education Cloud</td></tr></tbody></table>

Use these Salesforce case objects to model your institution's advising structure.

Case record types

Define the different advising workspaces that your institution supports, such as Academic Advising, Career Advising, or Wellbeing. Each record type represents a distinct support context with its own processes, visibility, and staffing model.

Case team roles

Define the role that each support staff member plays and their level of access to the learner's advising case. Roles control whether a member has read, write, or no access to case data.

Case team members

Represent the individual staff assigned directly to a learner's advising workspace and customize support to each learner's unique needs.

Predefined case teams

Group staff members and their roles into reusable teams. Assign these teams directly to a learner's advising workspace or use them as support pools to provide flexible access to unassigned advisors. When personnel changes, update the predefined case team once; your changes apply everywhere you use that team.

## Success Team Records

In an educational institution, a success team is a full network of support staff involved in the learner’s educational journey. At the same time, Success Team is an object in Education Cloud. After you define your advising workspaces and support structures, create success team records to configure how to deliver learner support.

A success team record serves two purposes:

- A success team record identifies a case record type as an advising workspace, enabling it for learner support.
- A success team record can optionally associate a predefined case team as a support pool, making unassigned advisors available for appointment scheduling.

Institutions have flexibility in how they structure support. Some advising workspaces use only assigned members and teams, requiring a success team record solely to activate the workspace. Others can also connect one or more support pools to provide broader access to unassigned advisors.

Use multiple success team records when a single advising workspace needs multiple support pools.
