BYOB - Field Highlighter (GA)

Accessing and Placing the Component

To start highlighting fields on a record page:

1. Open a standard or custom Salesforce object record page.

2. Enter the Lightning App Builder by clicking the Gear Icon and selecting Edit Page.

3. Locate the Field Highlighter component in the sidebar under the "Custom - Managed" section.

4. Drag and drop the component onto the record page.

    ◦ Tip: It is recommended to place it as the last component in any column to ensure it does not overlap with other page elements.

Highlighting Important Fields

To configure the highlight, you must identify the specific field you wish to emphasize:

• Identify API Names: Navigate to Setup > Object Manager to find the Object API Name and the Field API Name.

• Managed Packages: If the field belongs to a different managed package, you must include the package prefix as defined in the Object Manager.

• Configuration: Enter the API names into the component properties. For version 1.16 and later, ensure you use the format of a dot followed by the Object API Name (e.g., .Account) and the Field API Name.

• Styling:

    ◦ Colors: Customize the highlight color to make the field stand out.

    ◦ Font Weight: Since version 1.16, you can select the field's font weight from a dropdown menu to further emphasize the text.

Conditional Field Highlighting

You can set up highlights to appear only when specific criteria are met by using Salesforce’s standard Set Component Visibility feature.

• Logic: Apply a filter so the highlight only triggers under certain conditions.

• Example: You can configure the Lead Score field to be highlighted in red only if the score falls below a specific threshold.

• Dynamic Use: Highlights can be adjusted based on current promotions, special conditions, or overdue tasks.
