Report Builder Lightning Components Overview

Certinia provides Report Builder custom Lightning components that you can add to Lightning pages. You can also customize some of these components. You must be assigned administrator permissions or equivalent to access and use Certinia Lightning components.

Report Builder Lightning Components List

The table below provides a description of each Lightning component available in Report Builder and where it can be added. Components with more than one editable field have a corresponding Lightning Component properties topic linked to them.

Warning:

When adding Report Builder Lightning components to a page or workspace, you must include the Analytics Data Connector in order to display data in your reports.

Note:

Using multiple data connectors within the same page results in an error. We recommend using only one data connector on each page to avoid any issues.
