Program Management Module (PMM)
Program Attendance Tracking

PMM now has the ability to capture the session attendance that eliminates the room for errors by defaulting and pre-filling most of the information. This feature also provides you with better reporting and insights on the programs and participants and speeds up the attendance tracking process for faster results. Along with the added Lightning Web Component (LWC) to Service Session Record, you can also customize the feature using the fieldset to add additional numeric and client related fields.
Case Management
Mobile Experience

The case management feature is now available for the Salesforce Mobile App users as well. Now you can manage your case data on the go with your smart phone. The Spring '21 release has made it easier for nonprofit users to work from anywhere.
Grants Management
