Admins | Customize Sidebar Field Layouts

Overview

As a Cirrus Insight Admin, you can reorder or hide the fields that display for an object in the Sidebar. 

This lets you customize the Sidebar field layout (just for Cirrus Insight) without the need to change the Salesforce page layout.

Considerations

  • Sidebar field layout changes made by the Admin will be reflected for all Cirrus Insight users in the org.

  • Optionally, you can allow users to reorder fields to create their own personal layouts (step 2).

Requirements

  • Cirrus Insight Admin permissions

  • Sidebar installed (Outlook | Gmail)

Steps

1. Navigate to Admin Dashboard > Sidebar > Salesforce Integration > Search & Visibility settings.

2. Enable Modify Sidebar field layouts and Save.

➡ Optional

  • Check Users can modify to allow users to reorder fields to create personal Sidebar field layouts (using steps 4-6 below)

  • These changes are not reflected for other users.

    • Only Admins can hide fields and make org-wide changes.

6. From the layout editor, drag-and-drop fields to reorder and click to toggle visibility.

Configuring Multiple Layouts per Object

Optional: If your object has multiple Salesforce page layouts,

7. Assign the page layout (that you want to customize in Cirrus Insight) to your own profile in Salesforce.

8. Refresh Cirrus Insight (from the Sidebar menu) to reflect that Salesforce change in the Sidebar.

9. Repeat steps 4-6 above as needed for each page layout before reassigning your original page layout at the end of the process.
