About Success Networks
The Success Network feature provides the ability to manage and show a student’s important networks, for example a student advisor. Similarly, various areas on campus like Career Services, Student Life, Residential Hall Leaders, Financial Aid Advisors, etc. are possible connections that could help a student.
Using the Success Network feature, these relationship records can be created and shown to the student on the portal or to a Reach user in CRM to understand who else is related to a student and how.
For creating a Success Network record, see Creating a Success Network Record.
