What & Why
• Salesforce1 app only
• XML-based page
• Listviews & Recent Items
• Global publisher actions

5. In your setup area:
How it looks like in the end
In the Salesforce1 app:
Mobile Navigation
Custom Tabs

6. Anatomy of a Flexible Page

7. • 2 componentInstanceProperties
– entityName =API name of object
– filterName =API name of listview
• Component name : flexipage:filterListCard
List Component

8. Getting the Listview API Names
• By editing a view
API NAME

9. Getting the Listview API Names
• Through workbench
API NAME

10. • flexipage:recentItems
• 1 componentInstanceProperties
• entityNames = name of objectS
• only custom objects! (until Spring 14, fixed as of
Summer 14)
Recent Items
Component

11. • quickActionList
• add 1 or multiple global actions in the list items
Global Actions

12. The full picture

13. Build
• Any of your favorite tools (I prefer MavensMate)
• Just copy-paste the XML
• The files need to have a .flexipage extension

14. Deploy
• Folderstructure should be as below
• Select the flexipages folder + package.xml and ZIP them
• Use the metadata API to deploy the package (workbench, ant, ...)

15. Adding the page in the Salesforce1 app
• Once deployed, create a Flexible Page Tab for it
– (Setup > Create Tab > Flexible Page Tab)
• Then, just add the tab in the Mobile Navigation
– MobileAdministration > Mobile Navigation

16. Limitations
• List component supported objects :
– Before Summer 14 release:
• Custom Objects,Account, Campaign, Case, CollaborationGroup, Contact, Contract, Lead, LiveChatTranscript,
Opportunity
• No support for theActivity object (tasks & events)
– After Summer 14 release
• All list views associated with standard and custom objects except
– Activity
– ContentVersion
– Task
– User
– UserProfile

17. Limitations - Continued
• Recent Items component supported objects :
– Before Summer 14 release:
• Only Custom Objects
– After Summer 14 release
• All custom objects
• All standard objects for which both of these conditions are true:
– Acompact layout is definedfor the object
– The objectis trackedin the most recentlyused objectslist(meaning, the objecthas a LastViewedDate or LastReferencedDatefield)
• So no support still for theActivity object (tasks & events)

18. Limitations - Continued
• Flexible Pages in Communities:
– Before Summer 14 : not available
– After Summer 14 : available!
• General limit of 25 components per Flexible Page

19. Resources
• Salesforce documentation on Flexible Pages: http://goo.gl/feG2jL
• Deploying a Flexible Page : http://goo.gl/U9sT7i

20. Flexible Pages - Quick Recap
• Nice landing pages for your Salesforce1 apps with key infos
• More flexible then the smart search items
• Easy to build (copy paste and just some renaming)
