Experience Cloud Setup Checklist

Building an Experience Cloud site is the result of research, mapping goals, and defining your audience. At the same time, you must have all your ducks in a row so the actual implementation process is seamless. You know your org best, but use this general checklist to help you organize what you need for your Experience site.

External care team members require at least a Customer Community Plus license to become Experience site members and collaborate around a person's care plan.

Note

Before You Begin

Gather your branding assets.

  • checkbox High-resolution image of your company logo
  • checkbox Color scheme (or an image to upload to automatically generate one)
  • checkbox Image to use as a header
  • checkbox Thumbnail images (385x385 pixels), if you’re using Featured Topics

Configure the internal Salesforce org:

Set Up Health Cloud Profiles and Permissions for Experience Cloud Site Users

Create an Experience Cloud user profile

  • checkbox Specify object-level permissions. For example, add Read access to Accounts, Contacts, Cases, Documents, Problems, and Goals. In addition, site users need Read access to Timeline View Configuration, Filter Column, Filter Condition, and Filter Criterion to use Health Cloud Empower components.
  • checkbox Update field-level security. Grant access to fields that your Experience site users need to use. For example, update field-level security to make fields visible for the Problem and Goal objects.

Create Experience Cloud users

  • checkbox Create users. When you create site users manually, assign a community user profile to them and clear the Salesforce 1 checkbox.
  • checkbox Configure sharing settings for cases. To update the setting from Setup, enter Sharing in the Quick Find box, then select Sharing Settings. Make sure that you select Enable External Sharing Model and set external case sharing to Private. That way, users can collaborate only with the care teams they are members of. Care plan access is restricted by membership in the site, as well.
  • checkbox Update the CommunityProfileName custom setting with the value Health Cloud - Community. This value is the name of your Experience profile. From Setup, enter Custom in the Quick Find box, then select Custom Settings. Click Manage next to CommunityProfileName, and then click New to add the name and the value for the site.

Perform General Configuration Steps in Setup

Perform the following setup tasks from the Digital Experience node in Setup.

  • checkbox Select a template. Under All Sites, click New. If you’re creating an app for communicating with patients or members, choose the Health Cloud Consumer App template. For other purposes, select the Customer Service template. In either case, users get the same visual and functional experience whether they use a tablet, a mobile device, or their desktop.
  • checkbox Enable the global header. The global header lets users switch between their Experience site and the internal organization. Users must be assigned the “View Global Header” permission either by selecting it on standard profiles, creating custom profiles, or by creating a permission set.
  • checkbox Customize Experience Cloud site properties. From the Site Management page, select Administration | Members to customize the properties of the site.
  • checkbox Enable private messages. From the Site Management page, select Administration | Preferences, select Users can send and receive private messages. Remember that both the sender and receiver of private messages must have a profile that is associated with the site.

Perform Configuration Steps in Experience Builder

Perform the following setup tasks using Experience Builder.

From Setup, enter All Communities in the Quick Find box, then select All Communities. Click Manage to work with an existing community.

  • checkbox Brand your Experience Cloud site. Add your logo and use Experience Builder’s enhanced Branding Editor to efficiently apply color and style to your site.
  • checkbox Edit site pages and components. Remove unwanted default pages from the Customer Service template and create more pages, as needed. To allow access the new pages you create, be sure to update the navigation menu.
  • checkbox Update component properties.Review and update the properties for the User Profile Header, the Search Publisher, and any other components that you use.
  • checkbox Configure page layouts. Configure page layouts in the Page Editor for objects using the Record Information component.
  • checkbox Preview, test, and publish your Experience Cloud site. Look at your site in a desktop browser window and on mobile devices. When you’re happy with your changes, click Publish in the toolbar.
