In the Salesforce tutorial, we are going to learn How to add a standard component to an app page in salesforce lightning.

In Salesforce Lightning we add Standard Components to the templates of our Custom App Pages. These Standard Components add more functionality to our custom app pages and it’s easy to deploy them on our app pages.

What are Standard Components?

Salesforce provides a library of standard, pre-built components, known as Standard Components, using which custom applications, pages, and layouts can be quickly created without having to start from scratch. These Standard Components are inbuilt and can be used according to our requirements.

Standard components have a list of 17 inbuilt standard components namely chatter feed, chatter publisher, list view, report chart, etc. There in the Components section on the Custom App page, we will see a list of Standard Components as shown in the below picture.

Now let’s understand each of these Standard Components.

• Chatter Feed – The chatter feed in Salesforce is a component of the Chatter feature. Chatter enables users to communicate, give updates, have discussions, and share files within the organization.
• Chatter Publisher – The Chatter Publisher gives a way to post, poll, or ask a question in a feed. Use the Chatter Publisher component with the Chatter Feed component to get a full feed experience.
• CRM Analytics Collection – The CRM Analytics Collection component enables us to insert and display collections of curated dashboards and lenses to your Lightning pages.
• CRM Analytics Dashboard – This component surfaces an entire dashboard right where people work. The dashboard is fully functional and interactive. Users can refresh them, apply filters, and click chart segments to drill into filtered reports.
• Dashboard – A dashboard is a visual display of key metrics and trends for records in the organization. Dashboards are stored in folders, which control who has access. If you have access to a folder, you can view its dashboards.
• Einstein Next Best Action – This component displays suggested recommendations and actions on a record page. Use strategies to apply your org’s business rules to display context-specific suggestions to users.
• Flow – Flows are easy to maintain and allow us to build complex business automation using clicks instead of code.
• Launchpad – Launchpad creates a shortcut for users to access many important places. We can add any items that have tabs associated with them.
• List View – The List View component points to a list view and displays the first few records from that view. It supports all public and shared list views that are associated with standard and custom objects.
• Quip Associated Documents – With the Quip Associated Documents component on our App Pages it is easy to access documents, spreadsheets, and slides which can be kept in context.
• Quip Document – With the Quip Document Lightning component you can work with fully functional documents and spreadsheets directly within Salesforce records.
• Quip Notifications – The Quip Notifications component give notifications related to Quip documents.
• Recent Items – This component displays a list of the most recently used items. In the Lightning App Builder, you can specify which objects’ records appear in the recent items list.
• Report Chart – This component is used to include a chart from a report on your Lightning page. If you leave the component’s Label field blank, the component’s label is derived from the report’s label.
• Rich Text – The Rich Text component uses Quill editor as its text editor. We can include up to 4,000 characters in the Rich Text component.
• Schedule Service Appointments – With the help of this component, we can schedule service appointments for a work order, work order line item, etc.
