Salesforce

Purpose

The purpose of this Wiki is to document the process of:

• Configuring ICI in Salesforce.
• Performing Salesforce related configuration in ICI for mapping data entities and saved searches.

It also describes the process of using the Icertis Experience for Salesforce with the standard scenarios.

The document is primarily intended for:

• Administrator users who configure Icertis Experience for Salesforce on Salesforce.com.
• ICI Administrator Users who work on ICI Side Configuration.
• Other users who work with Agreements.

Prerequisites

• The user must have an account on Salesforce and ICI.
• 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 ICI and Salesforce in case the user is configuring ICI on Salesforce. 

Overview of Icertis Experience for Salesforce 

Icertis Experience for Salesforce is a native Salesforce application that allows you to access the full suite of ICI 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 ICI.
• Map Salesforce objects (standard and custom) with ICI entities.

ICI and Salesforce integration is required to port data from ICI to Salesforce. This integration avoids the need for re-entering the data manually in Salesforce which you have already created in ICI. 

To use ICI from within Salesforce:

• The ICI sections must be embedded in the Salesforce pages.
• After logging on to Salesforce, select ICI in the top right corner of your Salesforce page to use ICI through Salesforce.

Icertis Experience for Salesforce has 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 an 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 ICI 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.

2.  On the Opportunity Layout page, click Edit to edit the page layout where you want to add Visualforce pages. 

Configuring Data Sync

Once the Contract and Contract Request is created from Salesforce, the data is synced to ICI entities. If the Salesforce entity is edited or changed, user need to update mapped fields in ICI. Ideally, this process is automated. The system should automatically sync the data in the background, without user intervention.

To enable this feature in Salesforce, ICI 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 

Data Sync (Salesforce to ICI) Configuration

ICI Side Configuration

Mapping Data between Salesforce and ICI

Use the Configuration tile in the ICI application to specify the mapping details between Salesforce and ICI by creating Masterdata records for mapping entities.

Creating Masterdata records for mapping entities

Creating Client App Cross Reference Mapping

1. Log on to the ICI application
2. Click Configuration > Masterdata > Create Masterdata on ICI Dashboard. The Create Masterdata page opens.

3. Provide relevant information in the respective fields:

4. Click Next. The Attributes page opens.
5. Provide relevant information in the respective fields:

Creating Masterdata for mapping the entities

You can create a Masterdata record for the Contract Type Masterdata that you created earlier. This helps in mapping the entities between Salesforce and ICI. ICI allows mapping this data from any Salesforce entities like opportunity, account, or quote to a Contract Request or agreement by creating the Masterdata record in ICI. 

To create a Masterdata record:

1. Click Configuration > Masterdata > Create Masterdata on ICI Dashboard. The Create Masterdata page opens.

• Masterdata Details
• Attributes

5. Click Save to save the Masterdata record and enable mapping between ICI and Salesforce.

Configuration for allowing user to be redirected to ICI Details page in Salesforce

When creating Contracts, Contract Requests and Amendments from Salesforce, Administrators can now configure whether the users should be redirected to the ICI 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 ICI Endpoint Configuration page. By default, the checkbox is unchecked. When checked, the user is redirected to the Salesforce Record page, else to the ICI Contract detail page.

Integrating ICI Tasks with Salesforce 

With this release, Salesforce users can now manage ICI tasks from within Salesforce. ICI Administrators can configure ICI task integration with Salesforce so that the tasks created in ICI are pushed to Salesforce. This allows users to view task details with the attributes such as Task Name, Status, Priority, Due Date within Salesforce itself.

Based on configuration, users can receive task notifications in Salesforce for any action taken on agreements, templates, contract requests, clauses or masterdata in ICI. 
To integrate ICI Tasks with Salesforce Tasks:

Creating Client App Cross Reference

1. Click Configuration > Masterdata > Create Masterdata on the Home page. The Masterdata Details tab is displayed.

2. Select the Category from the drop-down. For example, Default.

3. Select the Masterdata Contract Type. In order to map ICI entities with entities in Salesforce, you must select Client App Cross Reference from the drop-down.
4. Click Next. The Attributes tab opens.
5. Enter the relevant attribute values. Enter ICI Entity Name and Client Entity Name as Task.

Working with Saved Searches

You can use advanced search option to search for existing entities. You can save these searches and pin them as favorites for easy access. Saved searches can be opened for easy access to the search results. 

Performing a Search to Save

1. Click the Search icon tile on the top right corner on My Dashboard page. The Advanced Search page opens. 
2. In the Please select Entities to Search field, enter or select appropriate entities from the list and type the keywords to search in the Enter Search here field. 

 
3. Select from these options: 

4. After selecting either of the above options, click the Search icon. The list of search results opens. 

5. To narrow down your search further, navigate to Search For field. Click Select Field and select an option from the list provided. The number in the bracket indicates the number of items available containing that search term. You can select multiple options. For example, selecting the field Status displays the number of Agreements that have the Status as Draft, Approved, Terminated, Superseded and so on. If you select the status as Draft (select the checkbox next to Draft), all Agreements in the Draft state are displayed. 

6. A list of these Agreements opens as search result in a tabular format. Enhance your search using wild cards as follows:

Saving a Search

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 ICI and Salesforce.

To save the search:

1. Click the Save icon. This opens the Save Search window. 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.

3. Specify the Advanced parameters as follows:

 

You can also save your searches and use the saved search Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) in the ICI Endpoint Settings in Salesforce. You can create saved searches for the following fields that are displayed in Salesforce ICI Config Settings > ICI Endpoint Settings: 

Following is an example of creating a saved search for Contract Opportunity Search URI: 

1. On the upper right corner of your ICI page, click Search icon. The Search page opens. 
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 open. 
3. On the upper right corner of the search results, click Save icon to save your search. The Save Search window is displayed.  
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.

Updating Saved Search Configuration 

With this feature, Salesforce administrator can map any of the entity level attribute for executing the Saved Search, provided it is created in ICI 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. 

Configuring Global Search 

Previously, there were 2 separate sub-tabs, 1 each for Contracts and Contract Requests, under the ICI tab within Salesforce. The previous Search page when rendered from within an iFrame inside Salesforce, gives the user a perception that they are working outside of Salesforce application.

With the SFDC experience enhancement, the user will have the ability to:

 To configure the Global Search tab:

Enabling Single Sign-On

You need to setup single sign-on for Salesforce to work seamlessly with ICI. For more information about setting up single sign-on, refer https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=sso_saml.htm&type=0

Multiple Salesforce Instances

With this feature, you can connect multiple Salesforce instances of your organization or organization groups to a single ICI 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 opens
2. Click Create Masterdata. Provide relevant information in the respective fields and click Next. The Attributes page opens. Provide relevant information in the respective fields:

''''Mapping between Template Variables for Amendments and SFDC fields''''

''''The ICI-Salesforce adapter already supports the use of variables defined at the template level to store data as part of the agreement and sync it with Salesforce, thus avoiding data duplication and redundancy in the process.''''

''''With this release, ICI has extended support to use template variables for storing data as part of amendments by allowing to map a list of ICI amendment template variables to Salesforce object attributes.''''

''''The following integrations are supported: '

• ''''Forward Integration: Pre-populates the values in ICI template variables for amendments initiated through Salesforce''''
• ''''Forward Data Sync: Automatically synchronizes object (Opportunity/Accounts) attribute values updated in Salesforce with template variables in ICI''''
• ''''Reverse Data Sync: Automatically synchronizes template variable values updated in ICI with Salesforce object attributes''''

''''Mapping amendment template variables with Salesforce object attributes requires creating a masterdata record for the Masterdata Contract Type. This allows ICI to map the variables with any Salesforce object such as Opportunity, Accounts, Quotes, etc.''''

''''To create a masterdata record:''''

''''1. Click the <b>Configuration tile.The Configurationpage opens.

''''Reporting Capability within Salesforce''''

''''Icertis Experience for Salesforce already provides the capability for Salesforce users to execute contract management tasks from within Salesforce. Now, this capability has been enhanced by allowing users to access ICI's reports within Salesforce instead of having to login to ICI to do so. 
Providing the Reports tab within the ICI tab of Salesforce radically simplifies tasks for the users as well as increases the productivity many folds. Based on their authorization, users can view and execute Default and Custom Reports.''''
