Building a custom Admin Home page in Lightning Experience

The sales performance or opportunity top deals components, which are provided out of the box on the Home page, give sales people a very good insight into their sale activities. However, sales performance may not necessarily be relevant to or desired by non-sales users with job functions in other areas, such as marketing, service, finance, or even Salesforce system administration.

Rather than presenting the default Home page to all users in all business functions, you can create custom Home pages with features relevant to specific types of users, and assign the customized pages to different user profiles with Lightning App Builder in Lightning Experience.

There are two methods of creating custom Home pages in Salesforce CRM Lightning Experience. These methods involve either editing an existing Home page or creating a new page using a Home page template.

In this recipe, we will create a new custom Home page using Lightning App Builder and a Home page template.
