We will be working with same project which we created in our previous blog. 

First of all open command prompt and navigate to Solution folder which we created in our previous blog and run the below command.

This will create solution package as shown below:

Now run the below command for adding the reference of the our PCF component.

Now run the below command for building the and restoring solution package.

Once done run the below command which will create zip of the solution which is managed solution. This can be imported in CRM.

Now import the solution.

Once solution is imported, open the form editor in classic mode and select the field on which you want to display this PCF control. In our scenario we have Contact Number field.

Select the Contact Number field and click on properties -> Controls -> Add Control -> Specify your PCF control ->Ok

Once done, save the changes and publish the form.

Now open the Student Table and open any record.

As you can see Contact Number field which is actually a PCF control.
