Completion requirements
01 Getting Started
This lesson shows you how to create subcomponents in a Power Table. We will demonstrate how to create table subcomponents to drill down to the related child records of the triggered parent record and add an iframe as a subcomponent to the power table to display or update data in Salesforce.
02 Project Setup
Our project has a power table with the following attributes:
- Account as Salesforce source.
- The following Conditions:
- Industry is not empty
- Annual Revenue is not empty
- One column that shows the Account Name.
- We have Debug Mode enabled.
