What are Entitlements?
Entitlements are units of customer support in Salesforce, such as “phone support” or “web support.” They’re typically used to represent terms in service agreements.
What 4 objects can you associate entitlements with?
accounts, assets, contacts, and service contracts
For example, a phone support entitlement can be added to an account. When a contact from that account calls your service department, support agents can quickly verify that they’re entitled to phone support.
What’s are Entitlement Processes?
Entitlement processes are timelines that contain all the steps that agents must complete to resolve a support record.
Where can you view and manage entitlements in Salesforce?
View and manage entitlements in Salesforce from the Entitlements tab.
What can you set up to restrict the entitlements that users can select on a case?
Set up lookup filters on entitlement-related case fields to restrict the entitlements that users can select on a case.
For example, when experience users create a case and use the lookup on the Entitlement Name field, you can set up lookup filters so they can choose only entitlements registered to their account or contact.
What are Entitlement Templates?
Entitlement templates let you predefine terms of support that users can add to products.
You can create entitlement templates for specific products so support agents can quickly add the right entitlement whenever a customer purchases the product. For example, you can create entitlement templates for web or phone support so agents can easily add entitlements to products offered to customers.
Purchased or installed products are represented in Salesforce as _______.
Purchased or installed products are represented in Salesforce as assets.
That means:
A product (for example, “Laser Scanner”) is linked to an entitlement template
A corresponding asset (for example, the laser scanner purchased by ABC Labs) is linked to an entitlement that was created from the entitlement template

Entitlements DO NOT automatically apply to cases created using Web-to-Case, Email-to-Case, or experience.
True or False?
You can add entitlements to Web-to-Case, Email-to-Case, or experience with Apex code.
TRUE
You can add entitlements to Web-to-Case, Email-to-Case, or experience with Apex code.
You can view entitlements on the Entitlements tab or the Entitlements related list on which four object pages?
You can view entitlements on the Entitlements tab or the Entitlements related list on:
- Accounts
- Assets
- Contacts
- NOTE In Lightning Experience, the Entitlements related list isn’t available on Contacts.
- Service contracts
Where can you go to create entitlements?
You can create and edit entitlements from the Entitlements tab or the Entitlements related list on accounts, assets, or service contracts.
True or False?
When you create a contact on an account, the contact automatically inherits an entitlement from the account.
FALSE
Keep in mind that when you create a contact on an account, the contact DOES NOT automatically inherit an entitlement from the account. Your admin may set up automation that creates an entitlement for new contacts on an account.
You can’t delete an entitlement for some reason. What could that reason be?
You can’t delete an entitlement with an open case or work order.
If a roll-up summary field has been added to the Contact object that counts related entitlement contacts and you can’t delete entitlements with contacts.
True or False?
You can share entitlements.
FALSE
You CANNOT share entitlements. Entitlements use the same sharing model as the account they’re associated with. To update an entitlement, you need Read access on the parent account.
True or False
Associating a customer with an entitlement automatically will share the entitlement with them.
FALSE
Associating a customer with an entitlement DOES NOT share the entitlement with them. For customers to be able to see their entitlements, entitlements must be set up in your external experience.

What is an Entitlement Contract?
Entitlement Contact
Contacts who are entitled to customer support—for example, a named caller. The Contacts related list on an entitlement shows which contacts are eligible for that entitlement.

True or False?
Entitlement contacts have page layouts, search layouts, buttons, links, and record types.

What is Entitlement Management?
Entitlement Management
A collection of Salesforce features that help you provide the correct service levels to your customers.

- Reporting on entitlement management, which lets you track the way entitlements are used in your Salesforce org and whether service contract terms are being met.
What is a Service Contract?
Service Contract
A customer support agreement between you and your customers.
