A favorite components list

zoran.tica Public · Nov 26 2024

Idea Summary
I'm missing a functionality to mark a component favorite… components like shared LOVs, shared Lists, templates, pages… in order to quickly access a component details page and edit the component.

This functionality can significantly speed up a navigation between components and consequently speed up the development, providing a useful helper for developers.

Currently, for most of the shared components I need to click multiple times on a various places on the screen in order to navigate to the component. 

And if I need to jump on page then jump on the shared component and repeat this numerous times, it consumes pretty much time.

Use Case
Everyday application development.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
On the component details page provide a button with "Heart" icon (or just an icon) to mark or unmark a component as a favorite. Position a button on the top right corner of the page near existing Edit page and Run page buttons.

Next to this favorite button provide a popup list with components already marked as favorite.

We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that due to all the internal implications we need to take into account, it is unlikely to make its way into APEX.

    Spotlight is the hub through which we can access pages and components quickly. Adding this additional toolbar on most builder pages would be to much of an investment for the value it provides.
