Create Lightning Page Tabs
Before you can include a Lightning app page in the Salesforce mobile app or in a Lightning app, you must create a custom tab for it.
Required Editions
| Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience |
| Available in: all editions |
| User Permissions Needed | |
|---|---|
| To create and edit custom tabs: | Customize Application |
When you first activate an app page in the Lightning App Builder, a tab is created for the page as part of the activation process. You can also create a tab for the page manually in Setup before you activate it.
You can create a custom tab only for an App Page type of Lightning page.
- From Setup, enter Tabs in the Quick Find box, then select Tabs.
- Click New in the Lightning Page Tabs related list.
- Choose a Lightning page for the tab.
-
Enter a label.
This text is used as the display name for the Lightning page.
- Select a tab style to set a color scheme and icon for the Lightning page tab.
- Enter a description of the tab, if desired, and click Next.
- Choose the user profiles the new custom tab is available for. In Salesforce Classic, the Default On and Default Off options for Lightning page tabs don’t work the same way as for other custom tabs. The Lightning page menu item appears for the selected profiles in Salesforce for Android and Salesforce for iOS whether you choose Default On or Default Off. Select the Tab Hidden option to hide the Lightning page for the selected profiles.
- Click Save.
When creating a custom icon for your Lightning page tab, follow these image guidelines. The icon should:
- Be less than 10k in size
- Be 120 x 120 pixels
- Be a PNG with a transparent background
- Have a resolution of 72 dpi
- Not include a color background
- Not include outer shadows on the inner icon graphic
