Get Your Visualforce Pages into Salesforce1

Visualforce pages must be enabled for mobile use before they can display in Salesforce1. You can do this in Setup, by clicking Develop | Pages, then click Edit next to a page name, and select the Available for Salesforce mobile apps checkbox on that page.

Just because you’ve enabled a Visualforce page for mobile doesn’t mean that it’s automatically mobile friendly. Before exposing existing Visualforce pages in Salesforce1, consider how they’ll look and function on mobile phones and tablets. Most likely, you’ll want to create a new page specifically for mobile form factors.

Tip

Visualforce pages can display in these areas of the Salesforce1 user interface:
  • The navigation menu, via a Visualforce tab
  • The action bar, via a custom action
  • Mobile cards on a record’s related information page
  • Overridden standard buttons, or custom buttons and links
  • Embedded in record detail page layouts
  • Lightning pages

If you want to dig deeper into customizing Salesforce1 with Visualforce, and discover lots of best practices to use when designing your pages for Salesforce1, check out the Visualforce chapters of the Salesforce1 App Developer Guide.
