Flexible Pages: the Big Picture

It’s not enough to just create the XML for the Flexible Page. After you create it, you’ve got to deploy it to your organization, configure the page, and get it into Salesforce1. Here’s an overview of the steps from beginning to end:

  1. Before starting development, consider:
    1. What list views do you want to include?
    2. What recent items do you want to include?
    3. Which global publisher actions, if any, do you want to provide?
  2. Create the Flexible Page XML file.
  3. Decide which global publisher actions to use in your app, whether they’re out-of-the-box global actions from Salesforce or ones you create yourself. You can assign specific global actions to your Flexible Page in the XML for the page. If you don’t define specific actions in the XML, the publisher icon (Publisher icon) won’t appear on the page.
  4. Deploy the Flexible Page into your development organization.
  5. Create a Flexible Page custom tab.
  6. Add your Flexible Page tab to the Salesforce1 navigation menu.

We’ll walk through all these tasks, starting with step 2, in this chapter. But before we can get started, we need to download the custom Deliveries app that the delivery drivers have been using.
