How Multi-Object Components Work

Multi-Object Lightning Components

The Life Sciences Cloud for Customer Engagement managed package includes these Lightning components that support multi-object layouts.

• The MultiEntityCreateOverride component overrides the New action so users can populate fields and create multiple records at once.
• The MultiEntityEditOverride component overrides the Edit action so users can update fields from multiple records at once.
• The Multi-Object Record View component shows the details from related objects on a single Lightning record page.

Supported Objects

The account object supports these components to include fields from the healthcare provider object. To override the New button on the account object, use the Search Before Create component. See Configure Search Before Account Creation.

Considerations

When you set up multi-object components, keep these considerations in mind.

• Multi-object components are available only for supported objects.
• Multi-object components support objects with multiple object types, picklist assignments, and picklist field dependencies.
• Inline editing isn’t supported on record detail pages that include a multi-object component.
• When users create records with a multi-object component, if one record has an error, no new records are created.
• When users create or edit records using a multi-object component, validation rules and errors appear at the top of the page rather than inline.
• The details that appear in each component depend on the existing parent records and related records.
