Follow the instructions in this section, based on your system administrator’s decision under these scenarios:

  • By default, the SIC solution provides the web resource customization for the standard form. If you wish to move the SIC web resource to different location within the form, you don’t need do anything.
  • You must not have two SIC web resources within the Standard or Custom form to avoid the errors due to multiple versions.
  • If you are moving the SIC web resource to a different standard form, you must follow the instructions in this section to configure that form to display the SIC Summary panel.
  • If you are using custom forms to work in your CRM instance, complete the instructions in this section.
