Page Metadata
Build custom pages with component-based layouts, variables, and event handling
Page Metadata
A Page defines a custom UI layout using components, regions, and variables. Unlike Views which are bound to a single Object, Pages are flexible containers that can combine multiple components, embed views, and manage local state.
Basic Structure
const homePage = {
name: 'sales_home',
label: 'Sales Home',
type: 'home',
regions: [
{

id: 'total_revenue',
label: 'Total Revenue',
properties: {
object: 'opportunity',
