Configuration for allowing user to be redirected to ICM Details page in Salesforce[edit]
When creating Contracts, Contract Requests and Amendments from Salesforce, Administrators can now configure whether the users should be redirected to the ICM Contract details page or the Salesforce Record page from where creation process was initiated. This can be configured by selecting the Allow Redirect checkbox on the ICM Endpoint Configuration page. By default, the checkbox is unchecked. When checked, the user is redirected to the Salesforce Record page, else to the ICM Contract detail page.
Purpose[edit]
The purpose of this guide is to document the process of:
Configuring ICM in Salesforce.
- Performing Salesforce related configuration in ICM for mapping data entities and saved searches.
The guide also describes the process of using the ICM Salesforce connector for standard scenarios.
The document is primarily intended for:
- Administrator users who configure Icertis Salesforce Connector on Salesforce.com.
- ICM Administrator Users who work on ICM Side Configuration.
- Other users who work with Agreements.
Prerequisites[edit]
- The user must have an account on Salesforce and ICM.
- Icertis CLM must be installed on Salesforce.com from Salesforce AppExchange. It is compatible with Group, Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, Force.com Developer and Performance Editions.
- The user must have admin privileges for ICM and Salesforce in case the user is configuring ICM on Salesforce.
Overview of ICM Salesforce Connector[edit]
ICM Salesforce Connector is a native Salesforce application that allows you to access the full suite of ICM functionality from Salesforce, including the following capabilities:
- Manage end-to-end contract lifecycle from the familiar Salesforce platform.
- Create Contract Requests with pre-populated data from Salesforce objects.
- Track contract progress and status updates within Salesforce.
- View contract notifications as part of chatter feed messages.
- Automatically transfer and synchronize data between Salesforce objects and ICM.
- Map Salesforce objects (standard and custom) with ICM entities.
ICM and Salesforce integration is required to port data from ICM to Salesforce. This integration avoids the need for re-entering the data manually in Salesforce which you have already created in ICM.
To use ICM from within Salesforce:
- The ICM sections must be embedded in the Salesforce pages.
- After logging on to Salesforce, select ICM in the top right corner of your Salesforce page to use ICM through Salesforce.
ICM Salesforce contains the following key concepts:
- Account is a label for business. It is a company or a business entity, you might already be working with, or one that you hope to work with. In simple words, an Account is the actual business or company.
- Opportunity is a pending deal with a monetary value associated with it. It helps to track the pending deals and sales.
- Quote is the data showing the proposed prices for the products or services. Quotes can be created by using the data that is saved in the Opportunities and shared with the prospective customers. Every opportunity can have multiple associated quotes linked to it.
After integrating ICM with Salesforce, you can do the following contract management tasks in Salesforce:
- Create and edit a Contract Request from an existing Account.
- Create and edit a Contract Request from an existing Opportunity.
- Create and edit a Contract Request from an existing Quote.
- Create and edit a Contract from an Account when a prospective sales lead is qualified and a corresponding account is created.
- Create and edit a Contract from an existing Opportunity.
- Create and edit a Contract from an existing Quote.
Salesforce Side Configuration[edit]
Prerequisites[edit]
- You must have a Salesforce account.
- You must have administrator privileges to install ICM in Salesforce.
- You must have ICM administrator privileges to configure ICM in Salesforce.

4. Pages are added in the Icertis Contracts Section.
5. Click Save.
Note: For better visualization, please add inline VF pages with the height of 250px.
Configuring Data Sync[edit]
Once the Contract and Contract Request is created from Salesforce, the data is synced to ICM entities. If the Salesforce entity is edited or changed, user need to update mapped fields in ICM. Ideally, this process is automated. The system should automatically sync the data in the background, without user intervention.
To enable this feature in Salesforce, ICM Service User Authentication Token should be configured and create a process in Process Builder for specific entities. Selected entities will have Data sync functionality. To know more about the Process Builder, visit: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=process_overview.htm&type=0

- "...": Type a search term in double quotes. It shows existing items which include the search term.
- ...(space)...: Type multiple search terms with space in between. It shows existing items which include the search terms.
Saving a Search[edit]
If you have the search criteria defined and need same search criteria repeatedly, it is advisable to save the search. For Configuring Saved Search in Salesforce, we need some of the Data Mapping which includes Salesforce Account and Opportunity Id (which is 18 digit of alphanumeric reference value). That means, if you are defining a mapping of Salesforce Opportunity with Contract Request, then in that contract request create a field/attribute which will hold the salesforce Opportunity id, in the same manner you can create for the account id reference. So create these required mapping to start with Saved Search.
For example, after you map data, attribute like Opportunity ID can be mapped in ICM and Salesforce.
To save the search:
1. Click the Save 
icon. This opens the Save Search dialog box. Set the parameters for this Saved Search.
icon. This opens the Save Search dialog box. Set the parameters for this Saved Search. 2. Type a name for the search. Use a name that you can easily associate with this search.
Click Yes to make it a global search, which means all users of the selected Security Groups and Organization units can view it. Select No to save this search locally, which will not be visible to any other person than the person who is creating it.
Note: Only the Administrator can save global searches.
3. Specify the Advanced parameters as follows:
Note: A search defined as a Smart Link cannot be set as a Dashboard tile. For a global search, the administrator needs to create a security group and give access to specific users. Only those users can see that Saved Search in the list and add it as a Dashboard tile.
You can also save your searches and use the saved search Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) in the ICM Endpoint Settings in Salesforce. You can create saved searches for the following fields that appear in Salesforce ICM Config Settings > ICM Endpoint Settings:
Following is an example of creating a saved search for Contract Opportunity Search URI:
1. On the upper right corner of your ICM page, click
. The Search page appears. 2. In the Please select Entities to search list, select the entity that you want to search such as Agreement or Contract Request and then type the entity that you want to display in the search text box. The relevant search results appear.
3. On the upper right corner of the search results, click
to save your search. The Save Search dialog box appears. 4. In the Save search as box, type the name of the saved search as a URI such as SF_OPP_CR for a contract request, or SF_OPP_Contract for a contract request.
Similarly, you can create saved searches for the remaining entities. The entity and field to filter will be different.
Note: For core ICM related configuration, refer to ICM admin guide.
Within Salesforce, ICM will be accessible as per the ICM based User context so if there is anything which you need to control at the user end, please control the user settings from core ICM product.

Updating Saved Search Configuration [edit]
With this feature, Salesforce administrator can map any of the entity level attribute for executing the Saved Search, provided it is created in ICM as per the attribute configured in Salesforce.
If you do not configure the attribute in Salesforce, the Saved Search still executes based on the Salesforce record ID.
Enabling Single Sign-On[edit]
You need to setup single sign-on for Salesforce to work seamlessly with ICM. For more information about setting up single sign-on, refer https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=sso_saml.htm&type=0
Multiple Salesforce Instances[edit]
With this feature, you can connect multiple Salesforce instances of your organization or organization groups to a single ICM instance. For using this feature, the user needs to create a new `Masterdata record which can be used to define the multiple Salesforce instances. The user needs to add the login details of the configured Salesforce instance machine configuration. Contact Dev Ops team for assistance.
To support Multiple Salesforce instances, you need to add multiple records in Client App Org Reference Contract Type. If the Contract Type is not listed in the system, then it needs to be created.
If the Client Org Reference Contract Type is not already created, create it using the following steps:
To create a Masterdata record:
1. On the My Dashboard page, click Configuration and then click Masterdata. The Masterdata page appears
2. Click Create Masterdata. Provide relevant information in the respective fields and click Next. The Attributes page appears. Provide relevant information in the respective fields:
3. Provide relevant information in the respective fields:
