It is assumed that you will install this component on an uncustomized system where menu options have not been changed.
You should not run this component against an instance of Sage CRM integrated with a Sage business management solution without first ensuring you understand the implications of the changes made to the system.
If the system is installed with a license that includes Sales, Marketing and Customer Service, then this component will not remove all reference to those entities. If you install on a system with demo data, you may find anomalies where a suppressed entity is referenced. For example, the recent list may still display cases when the customer service option is switched off using the component, and reports and dashboard items will still be available.
This component was tested with Sage CRM 2025.
