            Create Custom Home Page Components

            Use custom components to configure the Salesforce Classic home page for your users. Add HTML, images, links, and more to enhance your users’ productivity.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Salesforce Classic
            Available in: All Editions

            To create or change home page layouts: Customize Application

            Before you begin:

            • If you’re creating custom link components, define your Home tab custom links first. See Custom Buttons and Links.
            • If you’re creating an image component, upload your image to the Documents tab first.
            • If you’re creating a Visualforce Area component, create your Visualforce page first.
            1. From Setup, enter Home Page Components in the Quick Find box, then select Home Page Components.
            2. Click New.
            3. Enter a name for the component. For custom links, this name is displayed as the section heading in the sidebar on the Home tab.
            4. Choose the type of component.
            5. Click Next, and then complete one or more of these steps.
              • For links, select the appropriate custom links, and then click Add.
              • For images, click Insert an image, choose the document folder, and then select the image file. The image file must be in a public folder and Externally Available must be enabled on the document’s properties so that users can view the image.

                Keep your image size smaller than 20 KB for optimum performance.

              • For an HTML Area component, choose where to display it—in the wide or narrow column—and then enter your content in the box below.

                HTML Area home page components don’t support JavaScript, CSS, iframes, and some other advanced markup. To use JavaScript or other advanced HTML elements in your home page component, we recommend that you use a Visualforce Area component instead.

              • For a Visualforce Area component, choose where to display it—in the wide or narrow column—then select the Visualforce page, and assign it a height.
            6. Click Save.

            After creating the home page component, you need to add it to a home page layout.

            Note
            Note Components in the narrow column are displayed in the sidebar. They aren’t displayed in the sidebar on other pages in Salesforce unless you specify that in your user interface settings or by assigning the Show Custom Sidebar On All Pages permission.
