Tip of the Week – Customizing Tabs in Lightning

There has been quite a bit of buzz around Salesforce Lightning lately and of course, a solid push for everyone to migrate. Most companies are planning on making the switch, it’s just a matter of when. Though Lightning has a great many benefits and upgrades, transitioning will always have its challenges. Luckily, these changes are not insurmountable, and with a little time and research, easy to fix.

In that vein, let’s take a look at a fundamental topic: adding, moving, and customizing tabs on your Salesforce Lightning Home Page. When it comes to adding or removing tabs, the process is fairly simple, just accessed from a different location than in Classic.  Next, if you would like to move around the order of the tabs, all you have to do is dig a little deeper into settings and you can set up your page just the way you like it. Stay tuned in future weeks for more tips and tricks relating to Salesforce and the Lightning Experience.

Tip of the Week – Overriding Tabs and Pages in Salesforce

Tip of the Week – Overriding Tabs and Pages in Salesforce

Today’s tip comes courtesy of a recent client question that yielded great results. Specifically, the question came up, “what do I do if I want to override the default page for the Opportunities Tab?” The solution here comes in two parts.

First, you need to create the custom Visualforce Page that will be used to replace the default home page. This will probably be the tough, time consuming part as you need to build out your Apex code to make the page. However, once that is done, the second step is quick and painless. Simply, go to Setup –> Customize –> Opportunities –> Buttons and Links –> Then Edit link next to the Opportunity tab. Upload your custom page and that’s it! This procedure can be used to edit and customize any tab or page within Salesforce.
