Dynamics 365 - Contact Page section missing however it is available in Design mode.

Hi All, I am back again to share one of my experience and learning which I got after putting significant time to get to resolution. Problem Statement: Contact Information section/tab was missing and was not showing when a contact record was accessed. It was available in design mode only. Resolution: I found that Map section was placed inside the Information section of Contact which is usually placed under a different section itself and Map was disabled from System Setting.

I hope this would help someone where. Cheers, Javed N. Jamali
