The following article outlines how to create a new panel and add the panel to account pages.

Before you begin: Verifying the account pages are editable

Before adding a panel to an account page, you must first make sure you are working with custom account pages. By default, iMIS is shipped with out-of-the-box account pages that must be copied before they can be edited.

To determine if you are already working with custom account pages, do the following:

  1. From the Staff site, navigate to any contact account page.

    2. Tip! If you need to add the new panel to an individual account page, make sure you are checking an individual account page. If you need to add the new panel to an organization account page, make sure you are checking an organization account page.

  2. Enable Easy Edit.
  3. Verify the account pages are custom:
    • Custom: You can edit the content items using the Configure button.

    • Not custom: You can see Easy Edit is enabled, but there is no Configure button. This means you are using out-of-the-box content records.

      • Viewing a page that is not custom

  4. If the account page is custom, move on to the next section. If the account page is not custom, review the Understanding and modifying account pages article.
