We use Lightning App Builder in Salesforce to create Lightning Page by adding Lightning components to it

  • Building apps tool: Lightning App Builder
  • Pages in app: Lightning Page
  • Components in pages: Lightning component

Lightning Page Types

  • App Page
  • Home Page
  • Record Page

Lightning Components

  • Standard Components: Standard components are Lightning components built by Salesforce.
  • Custom Components: You can configure custom Lightning components to work in Lightning App Builder.
  • Third-Party Components on AppExchange: The AppExchange provides a marketplace for Lightning components.

Home Page

You can create a custom Home page in a few different ways:

  • Create it from scratch using a template
  • Clone it from another custom Home page
  • Edit a page from the Home tab in a Lightning app.

When activating a Home page, you have three different options:

  • Make your page the default for everyone in the org
  • Make your page the default for an app
  • Assign it to one or more app and profile combinations, giving your users access to a page designed just for their role.

Record Page

Just like the Home page, you can create a custom record page in different ways:

  • Create it from scratch using a template
  • Clone one of your other custom record pages
  • Edit an existing page.

However, unlike the Home page, custom record pages are not only supported in Lightning Experience on desktop but also in the Salesforce mobile app.

You have four options for activation:

  • Make the page the org default for the object.
  • Make the page the default object record page for specific Lightning apps.
  • Assign the page to a combination of Lightning apps, record types, and profiles.
  • Assign the page to a form factor, such as a desktop or phone.

App Page

  • Create app page
  • Add page to Lightning and Mobile page

Lighting components can be added on the lightning apps so that the user can directly submit tickets, raise requests, or view self help articles without logging into any other URL. For more information, refer the following sections:
