Salesforce Flow is one of the most powerful tools available for automating business processes without writing code. Among different types of flows, Screen Flow is widely used because it allows users to interact with data through a user-friendly interface.
Many organizations use Screen Flow to simplify complex processes such as updating records, collecting user input, and dynamically displaying data.
One of the most useful features inside Screen Flow is the Data Table component. This component allows you to display multiple records in a structured table format, similar to a list view, but with more flexibility and control.
Instead of navigating to different pages or list views, users can see and interact with records directly on the flow screen. This significantly improves productivity and the user experience.
While working as a Salesforce admin, I needed to update the phone field of selected related contacts’ records on the account object. I was trying to update it from the list view, but we cannot display a filter that shows only related records.
To achieve this, I created a screen flow that added a data table to display all related contact records for the account and deployed it on the account record page.
From the account record page, we can select multiple related contacts and update the fields.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to use Salesforce Data Table in Screen Flow. In this, I will explain how to add the data table component to the screen element and provide a data source for the table.
