Using a Lightning table dashboard component in Salesforce is a powerful feature that allows users to display and interact with large sets of data in a user-friendly and customizable way. Essentially, Lightning tables are dynamic tables that can be customized to display data from any object or related objects in a single view.
In Salesforce, dashboards are used to display important data in a visual format. Lightning table components can be added to dashboards to display large sets of data in a way that is easy to view and analyze. For example, a Lightning table might display a list of open service requests, allowing users to quickly and easily view the status of each request and take action as needed.
The benefits of using a Lightning table dashboard component in Salesforce are numerous. First, Lightning tables provide a user-friendly way to view and interact with large sets of data, allowing users to easily sort, filter, and search for specific information. Second, Lightning tables can be customized to match the specific needs of the user or team, allowing them to display only the information that is relevant to their workflow and processes.
