Answer options

A: Activities

B: Path

C: Assistant Correct answer

D: Key Deals Correct answer

E: Performance chart. Correct answer

Correct Answer:

C. Assistant; D. Key Deals; E. Performance chart.

Explanation

To provide daily insights and boost productivity for a sales team, the administrator should use components designed to surface relevant, actionable sales information on the homepage.
1. Assistant (C): This component proactively displays personalized updates, such as new leads and opportunities requiring attention, helping users prioritize their day.
2. Key Deals (D): This component highlights top opportunities, ensuring sales reps focus on their most critical deals.
3. Performance Chart (E): This component visually tracks a user's sales performance against their goals (quota), providing immediate insight into their progress and motivating them. These three components are standard, sales-specific, and designed to provide the requested daily insights directly on the Lightning homepage.

Why Incorrect

A. Activities: While the 'Today's Tasks' and 'Today's Events' components are useful for productivity, they are more of a to-do list than a source of sales-specific insights like the Assistant or Performance Chart.
B. Path: Path is a component used on a record page (e.g., an Opportunity or Lead) to guide a user through the stages of a business process. It cannot be placed on the homepage.

References

1. Salesforce Help Documentation - Standard Lightning Page Components:

Assistant: "The Assistant shows users important things they need to address

including new leads and opportunities that need attention." (Found under "Standard Component: Assistant").

Key Deals: "Help your sales reps keep their most important opportunities top of mind with the Key Deals component." (Found under "Standard Component: Key Deals").

Performance: "The Performance component shows sales performance against a goal for a specific period... Add it to a home page..." (Found under "Standard Component: Performance").

Path: "Use the Path component on object record pages..." This confirms Path is for record pages

not the homepage. (Found under "Standard Component: Path").

Question breakdown

Tests: Customize Lightning home pages with standard sales components
Difficulty: Easy

Key idea: The Lightning home page has standard sales components (Assistant, Key Deals, Performance) built to give reps a quick daily view of priorities, top opportunities, and progress to goal.

How to reach the answer

The clues are 'homepage', 'insights at the start of each day', and 'sales-specific standard components'.
Path works only on record pages, so it is out right away.
Assistant gives daily prompts: new leads, idle opportunities, and overdue items.
Key Deals shows the most important open opportunities, and Performance charts closed and open deals against a goal.
Activities is not a sales insight component; tasks and events are general to-do lists, not sales analytics.

Each option

AIncorrect. Activity-type home components such as Today's Tasks and Today's Events list to-dos and are not sales-specific insights.
BIncorrect. Path guides users through stages on a record page and is not available on the home page.
CCorrect. Assistant shows personalized daily updates, such as new leads and opportunities needing attention, so reps can prioritize.
DCorrect. Key Deals keeps a rep's top opportunities visible on the home page.
ECorrect. The Performance chart tracks closed and open opportunities against a sales goal for the period.

Common trap: Activities sounds productivity-related, but the question asks for sales insights, not task lists.

In practice: Admins often build a sales home page in Lightning App Builder with Assistant, Key Deals, and Performance, and assign it by app and profile so reps start the day focused.

Remember: Remember the sales home page trio: Assistant, Key Deals, and Performance; Path belongs on record pages only.
