There are a few customizations needed to get the SSW Contact Makeover:

  • Show some hidden fields
  • Make some form changes to move to a new tab
  • Make a CRM frame (to add in a subform)
  • Add some entities
  • Add some form java script to hide the core Contact Details? tab when a user is entering a new contact
