| To create and save Lightning pages in the Lightning App Builder: | Customize Application |
- To open your app page, from Setup, enter Lightning App Builder in the Quick Find box, select Lightning App Builder, and then click Edit next to the page.
- In the Lightning App Builder, click Activation.
-
Update the activation properties, if necessary.
- Change the page’s custom tab label. By default, the label that you give the Lightning page is used as the label for its custom tab.
- Change the custom tab’s icon. The icon that you select here is used as the icon for the page in the mobile app and in Lightning Experience.
- Adjust the app page custom tab’s visibility.
If you select System Administrators only, the tab is set to Default On for System Administrators. For all other users, it’s set to Default Off and doesn’t show up in the navigation of the apps it has been assigned to, but users can see the tab in the App Launcher in Lightning Experience and on the All Tabs page in Salesforce Classic.
If you select Active for all users, the tab is set to Default On for all users. It appears in the visible tabs for its associated app, in the App Launcher in Lightning Experience, and on the All Tabs page in Salesforce Classic.
-
Add the page to one or more Lightning apps.
Adding your app page to Lightning Experience makes it available to users viewing the app on the desktop and in the Salesforce mobile app.
-
Set the page’s position in the Salesforce “Mobile Only” app navigation.
The first item that you put in the mobile navigation list becomes your users’ landing page.
- Click Activate.
Your Lightning page is now ready for your mobile and Lightning Experience users.
To enable your users to personalize the app with their favorite tabs, create a Lightning App in the App Manager. They can then use the tabs in the Salesforce mobile app.
