To improve usability and better organize Accounting information within the Lightning Experience, Lightning Record Pages across the Accounting Seed application have been redesigned. This includes the use of enhanced related lists, tabs, button visibility and other Lightning components. You can easily access the information you need by navigating through key tabs on the record and review the related lists applicable to that tab. This enhancement has impacted all the Accounting Seed custom objects.

The  Enhanced Lightning Record Pages are based on the Lightning “Grouped Header and One Region” template. Each record page has been visually updated for ease of navigation and revolves around the use of tabs and Salesforce’s new Enhanced Related Lists. The Highlights Panel displays up to ten buttons and each record page will display the following standard tabs:

• Details
• Notes & Files
• All Activities 

Additional tabs (non-standard tabs) will vary based on the type of record you are viewing.

Record Page Comparison

Below is a comparison of the Billing record showing the difference between the pre Iris Lightning Record Page and the Enhanced Lightning Record Page.
