I am trying to make a custom report for a dashboard in Salesforce lightning. I read here on how to create a Visualforce page and then use that as a component on the dashboard. So I did create a VF Page and when I go back into the Dashboard on which I am trying to add this VF page to, I click on + Component and all I see are reports, I cant seem to find a type that says VF pages. Am I doing something wrong?

Here is what I have on the VF Page:

<apex:page standardController="Case" recordSetvar="cases">
    <apex:pageBlock>
        <apex:form id="theForm">
            <apex:panelGrid columns="2">
                <apex:outputLabel value="View:"/>
                <apex:selectList value="{!filterId}" size="1">
                    <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="list"/>
                    <apex:selectOptions value="{!listviewoptions}"/>
                </apex:selectList>
            </apex:panelGrid>
            <apex:pageBlockSection>
                <apex:dataList var="c" value="{!cases}" id="list">
                {!c.subject}
                </apex:dataList>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:form>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

But I only see options to add Reports only nothing else.

enter image description here

What am I doing wrong? Please let me know, thanks!

  • I had the same idea. I want my VFP show up on a dashboard. But is it possible at all in Lightning Experience or is it just a classic thing? Is it possible at all, to show something like a html-based-table in dashboards? Also, is there maybe a better Idea, to achieve the same thing? Since this started as a workaround.. SF y? ..

Per the documentation:

Visualforce pages that use the Standard Controller can’t be used in dashboards

You'll need to write a custom controller for this page.

  • Hi @David Cheng, so I followed you'e documentation, copied over the code for the class and the VF page, it's still now showing up under add component option in Dashboard
