Design custom Lightning Pages in Salesforce to streamline faculty workflows, surface relevant data, and reduce clicks—improving efficiency and user experience across your institution.

Salesforce Education Cloud is often used to support student services and admissions, but faculty members are just as critical to your institution’s success. Yet, many educators find CRM tools overwhelming or irrelevant to their day-to-day work. The good news? You can change that with one powerful feature—Custom Lightning Pages.

By designing tailored, role-specific Lightning Pages, you can transform Salesforce into a tool that supports faculty tasks rather than distracts from them.

Centralize Relevant Information

Faculty don’t need access to every object or field in Salesforce. They need only what’s essential—student records, course details, and advising notes. Custom Lightning Pages allow you to show only the most relevant components, organized in a clean, easy-to-navigate layout. You can group data by student status, highlight upcoming advising sessions, and display course rosters front and centre.

Embed Quick Actions for Repetitive Tasks

Many faculty tasks are repetitive: approving requests, logging feedback, or marking attendance. With Lightning Pages, you can embed Quick Actions like “Submit Grade Alert” or “Log Advising Note” directly into the interface. These actions simplify routine updates and reduce the time it takes to complete common tasks.

Enable Real-Time Collaboration

You can integrate Chatter components and notes directly into faculty Lightning Pages, allowing instructors to collaborate with advisors, student services, or IT without leaving their page. This helps track decisions, support student success, and reduce back-and-forth communication.

Surface Key Metrics and Alerts

Want faculty to stay proactive about student performance? Use Lightning Components to display at-risk alerts, recent student issues, or pending approvals right on their home screen. By surfacing this information upfront, you make it easy for faculty to take immediate action.

Improve User Experience with Conditional Visibility

Not every component needs to be visible all the time. Use conditional visibility rules to show or hide components based on context—for example, displaying different tools for adjunct faculty vs. full-time professors. This minimizes screen clutter and improves user satisfaction.

By customizing Lightning Pages for faculty roles, institutions can boost CRM adoption, reduce confusion, and give educators the tools they need to stay informed and efficient. And the best part? It’s all possible without writing a single line of code.
