Lightning Transition: Discover Additional Customizations: https://help.pm.leapevent.tech/a/1770704

In this step, you'll find out whether your account has any additional customizations that need to be addressed in Lightning. Specifically, you'll:

  1. Determine whether you use Notes and Attachments
  2. Find custom page layouts

Some reports are longer than others, but this step should take about half an hour to 45 minutes.

Before you begin: open a text document or have a pen and paper handy. As you assess the customizations in your PatronManager account, you'll make a checklist to use in the final step of your Lightning Transition.

1. Notes and Attachments

Some PatronManager users utilize the Notes & Attachments related list to add written notes about a record, or PDFs of contracts to artist Contact records. In Lightning, Notes and Attachments have been retired and replaced by Files.

If you know you use Notes and Attachments, jot down "Notes and Attachments" on the checklist you're keeping. You'll migrate them to Files in Lightning later.

If you're not sure, ask your colleagues to see if anyone uses Notes & Attachments. If no one does, then you can skip anything related to Notes & Attachments and continue moving forward.

2. Find custom page layouts

Next, we'll take a trip to Setup and look at the Account, Contact and Donation page layouts. You'll make note of any custom page layouts on these objects in your checklist.
