Enable optional features by assigning page layouts to profiles

This article explains how to assign page layouts to profiles to give users access to additional features in Lumary CM.

During the development of new features, we sometimes add new page layouts that extend Lumary CM’s functionality but aren't critical for the product to work as intended. System administrators can enable these features by assigning page layouts to their user's profiles.

We recommend that these types of changes be applied by system administrators with a good understanding of managing a Salesforce environment. If you’d like to engage Lumary to apply specific steps on your behalf, please reach out to our Customer Success team to request a quote.
