Tips

Setup Tips

• When adding the Indicator Bundle to the Lightning Record Page, check the Show Refresh Button Checkbox. That way, as you are building your Indicators, you can quickly refresh the Bundle to see how the changes to the settings will appear on your page.

Design Tips

• Titles and Icons are not required on Bundles, but they look best when the Large Icons are shown. a Bundle of small Icons used in a strip (see Examples) can look good with no Title and Icon.
• If in doubt, just use the standard icon matching that record (eg standard:account)
• Don't use too many colors or icon styles. Try to stick with the SLDS color pallette
