Cornerstone for Salesforce Integration
The Cornerstone for Salesforce (CFS) integration is available in the Edge Marketplace. Once this integration is enabled, learners are empowered to interact with content within their flow-of-work by seamlessly surfacing Learner Home content in Salesforce. Administrators can add Cornerstone transcripts, learning carousels, and search components to any Force.com page or use the out-of-the box CFS Learner Home page. End users can view their full transcript, learning carousels and followed playlists. Additionally, end users can search for, launch, and complete learning, - all without leaving Salesforce.
Note: CFS is only available on the Salesforce Lightning platform.
