Financial Report Builder Lightning Components List

The table below provides a description of each Lightning component available in Financial Report Builder and where it can be added. Components with more than one editable field have a corresponding Lightning Component properties topic linked to them.

Warning:

When adding Financial Report Builder Lightning components to a page or workspace, you must include the Analytics Data Connector in order to display data in your reports.

Note:

Using multiple data connectors within the same page results in an error. We recommend using only one data connector on each page to avoid any issues.
