Once again, the goal is to reduce the number of clicks and have data at hand.
Your Solution: The Magic of Lightning Components
Lightning Components allow you to build reusable building blocks for new functionality. I will go through the Salesforce fields we use most in this blog post, but I’ll also make a case for why developers never have to build or use any fields because these are just ready-made.
Other uses of Lightning Components include:
- Specialized data entry forms
- Custom data visualizations
- Integration with external services
Or even better still, don’t reinvent the wheel by checking out some existing ones on AppExchange before thinking of making one for your particular case.

On the other hand, fast page loading speed together with good user adoption helps make the process of your team smoother.
