Settings Overview
The Settings page consolidates Partner-related configurations applicable across all Partners within the feature. You can use these options to save time when Partner-level customization is not necessary.
To navigate to the Settings page:
- Navigate to Administration > Partner Success > Through-Partner CS. The Partners page appears.
- Click the Settings tab. The Global Settings section appears.
The following sections are available in the Settings page:
Global Settings
This section allows you to assign Permission Bundle, C360 Layout, and R360 Layout to all Partners in your org at once. You can also create customized bundles and layouts by navigating to the respective pages.
Click the edit icon to navigate to the Permission Bundle, C360 Layout Configuration, and R360 Layout Configuration pages respectively.
Note: Global Settings do not override Partner level configuration, where custom bundles and layouts are already assigned from the Partner detail view. If there are no bundles and/or layouts assigned to a Partner, bundles and layouts selected in Global Settings are automatically assigned to that Partner.
General Settings
This section allows you to provide access to Company only, Relationship only, or both records to all Partners in your org at once.
Note: General Settings do not override Data Permissions. For instance, if you are updating the records access from Company Records to Relationship Records, you must update Data Permissions if access to Company Records is provided from there.
