5) You will be presented with the list of items in the package:

6) Click Continue


7) If you get an Error like this, then you probably installed the old PRM S-Controls. You should either rename the existing homepage components and VF pages or you can uninstall the PRM Home page Scontrol package.

8) NOTE: In order to install the package you must have Record Types enabled for Leads. You may also get an error if you do not have Record Types enabled for leads.


9) Then you need to approve the package API access. Click Next.

10) Select the appropriate access and click Next


11) Click “Ignore Apex test failures that may cause the installed application to function properly”. Then click Install.

12) When the Install is complete you may see an error message (you may not see it depending on the data within your org). If you don’t see this error, skip to step 12. If you do see it, ignore the Package Error List and click “Deploy Now”.

13) If you didn’t get an Apex Test error, you will see the following screen.

Grant partners access to VisualForce Page The homepage components are now comprised of VisualForce pages, in order for partners to be able to view the VisualForce pages you will need to grant them access to view the VisualForce pages by modifying their profiles

1) Navigate to Setup |Administration Setup| Manage Users| Profiles

2) Drill into a partner profile


3) Scroll down to the bottom and find the “Enabled Visualforce Page Access” and click Edit

4) Pick and move the Approval_Requests and Lead_Inbox VisualForce pages to the

Enabled VisualForce Pages column and click save.

5) Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each partner profile.


Updating the Visualforce Pages Next you need to edit two of the Visualforce pages so they inherit the styles, colors, and fonts you configure in your partner portal. You need to edit the Lead Inbox and Approval Requests pages.

1) Navigate to Setup | App Setup | Customize | Partners | Settings

2) Drill into your portal Click into the portal


3) Note the Login URL which has the OrgId and PortalId values. In this example the org id=’00D300000006hcK’ and the portal id=’06030000000006e’.

4) Navigate to Setup | App Setup | Develop | Pages

5) Drill into the Lead Inbox Page


6) Click Edit to edit the Visualforce page

7) Scroll down and update this line of text.

The comment shows you the proper format for the href for the link. The hhref format should be:

/sCSS/12.0/PortalDefault/<ORGID>/<PortalId>/portal.css


So update the link line (not the commented one) such that it uses your Portal and Org Ids. Below is an example using the portalid and orgid we found in this example.

8) Repeat steps 4 -7 for the “Approval Requests” Visualforce page.

Adding the Home Page Components to your homepage The AppExchange package includes Home Page Components that reference the Visualforce pages. If you read through the PRM implementation guide, you should have created a separate Home Page Layout for partner portal users. This last step required you to add these home page components to the partner’s home page layout.

1) Navigate to Setup | App Setup | Customize | Home |Home Page Layouts

2) Edit the partner’s home page layout. In this example it’s called “Partner Portal Home Page Layout”

3) In the “Select Wide Components to Show” section make sure to select the Approval Requests and Lead Inbox components. You can select other home page components that also make sense.

<link href="/sCSS/12.0/PortalDefault/00D300000006hcK/06030000000006e/portal.css" media="handheld,print,projection,screen,tty,tv" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />


4) Next arrange the components in the order you would like. We recommend putting the

Welcome component in the top position of the narrow side.



5) Now log in as the partner user and you should see a homepage that looks something like this.

If you want to modify the columns on the Lead Inbox then you will need to edit the Apex Code and the Lead_Inbox VisualForce page.
