Salesforce Lightning components can be quickly and easily added to a record page to have an immediate view of information.
To use the custom Lightning component in your pages, you must assign your component to a theme layout in the Experience Builder.
After completion, drag and drop a custom component onto a particular page based on the business requirements.
The custom components listed here are either available in the Experience Builder or used in various flows.
If an optional custom component is NOT dropped onto relevant standard Salesforce UI pages, the downside is that custom fields (for example, Digital River custom fields) will not be visible on those UI pages.
Additionally, a given custom component can be dropped on one or more UI pages based on what the custom component does (for example, the Compliance footer custom component can be placed on multiple pages that require compliance footers).
The custom components listed in this section are provided as part of the app installation. However, they must be placed on the page(s) within the flows and subflows as described in the table below.
Some of the custom components are used on pages such as Tax Certificates, Tax Identifiers, My Wallet, and Stored Payments. Separate tabs are available for these pages. You can directly drag and drop the following custom components onto a particular page based on the user’s needs.
