1. Simplify & Consolidate

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve logged into a client’s org for the first time to make some requested updates to a Lightning Record Page and I come to list like this:

2. Set Alerts!

When I first became a Salesforce Admin, I remember there was a request to show on the account when a customer escalates a case to Tier 2 support. The wish was a big banner that could not be missed, and they wanted only their Tier 2 team to be able to put the banner on the account.

3. Share Instructions

Have you ever wanted to give users a little more to go on than just Help Text? Or maybe you’ve got users hounding you about how to do something repeatedly? Or maybe some third-party vendor gave you a custom component that works great, but only under specific circumstances? Well, similar to the Alerts section above, the Rich Text Component is your new best friend..

4. Training Wheels

Following on from Instructions, ‘Training Wheels’ are another great use case.

5. Leverage Formulas

I’ll keep this simple, because formulas and Component Visibility could lead us into a deep rabbit hole. You can make infinitely complex formulas that component visibility work from.

6. Custom Permissions

I’ll finish this out with something that was a bit of an afterthought to me for years: Custom Permissions. Yeah, I saw it on profiles – yeah, I saw it in permission sets – but it was always empty, so I ignored it.

Summary

I hope that this article lived up to its promise – to make you fall in love with Lightning Record Pages. In this article, I’ve highlighted a few of my favorite things that I’ve discovered, but honestly, there are so many more things you can do!
