Note

This section is only applicable for built-in policies with an injected contents-based custom user interface (UI). If you're using built-in policies with a generic module custom UI, or with the Azure business-to-consumer (B2C) UI, you can ignore this section.

  2. In the Main slot of the new page, select the ellipsis (...), and then select Add module.
  3. In the Select modules dialog box, select the Sign in module, and then select OK. The system will name this second sign-in module Sign in 1.
  4. In the property pane for the module, under Sign-in heading, select Heading.
  5. In the Heading dialog box, enter "Employee sign-in", and then select OK.
  6. Select Save, and then select Preview to preview the page.
  7. Select Finish editing to check in the page, and then select Publish to publish it.

Modify the word "For" in the header (optional)

For the OBO scenario, a header should contain both the name of the account manager and the name of the buyer who's being represented. By default, the word "For" is used (for example, "Alexander For Cameron Hartnett"). You can modify or remove this word in the header.definition.json file.
