Salesforce users in all editions can now use rich text and image widgets in Lightning dashboards. Explain charts, describe metrics and KPIs, and clarify tables with rich text right where users need it. Add company logos and branding, flow diagrams, and embedded images. Guide users through their data with section titles, narrative text, and even animated GIFs. Lightning dashboard components are now called widgets in all editions. Dashboards now support up to 25 widgets, including a maximum of 20 charts and tables, 3 images, and 25 rich text widgets. The former limit was 20 in total. Previously, this feature was available only in Unlimited Edition and Performance editions.
Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience in Group, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, and Developer editions.
How: When editing a dashboard, click +Widget and select the type of widget to add.
Combine charts, text, and images to inform, engage, and guide viewers.
Image widget settings, like tile, stretch, and fit to height, aren’t applied to dashboards delivered through email subscriptions. The image is shown at the original resolution within the widget.
