Info Bar Element of the forms_xx.xml File

The info_bar element is an alternative to the page element. You can use it to add a layout that the original form layout does not determine. You can use the info_bar element to extend the original form but not to modify the original form. For example, the predefined mail form includes an Info Bar. The Info Bar element contains the Share With On Demand content that Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop displays if the user clicks the Share Bar. The Info Bar does not affect other parts of the form.

Note the following differences between how you can use the info_bar element and the page element:

• To customize only a section of a predefined Microsoft Outlook form, you can use the info_bar tab, for example, on the Mail, Task, or Calendar, forms.
• To customize an entire form, you can use the page element. For example, the page element replaces the native Contact form in Microsoft Outlook with a custom Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop form.
