Updating the contact account page after an upgrade from iMIS 2017
After an upgrade from iMIS 2017 to iMIS EMS, you may notice your account pages do not conform to the layout of the new out-of-the-box account pages. For example, the updated account pages have the tabs aligned to the left, a large horizontal banner that contains an Actions button, and the image cropped to a circle.
The upgrade does not automatically change your custom account pages to resemble the new account page layouts.
Updating the account pages to use the new layout
To keep your custom content records but update the layout to match the new out-of-the-box layout for account pages, do the following:
- Navigate to an account page that you want to change the layout for.
- Enable Easy Edit, then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the edit bar for the overall content record.
- Click the Properties tab:
- In the Page container CSS class field, remove any existing classes and add the following class: account-banner-bg-color-2Click for details
Alternatively, the following classes are also available.
Note: Only one class can be used at a time.
