Enable the Salesforce Lightning experience

The content of this page is specific to the Delphi product type only. If you are using the Delphi Core product type and want to learn more about the Delphi product type, contact your sales representative.

Enabling the Lightning experience for your organization gives your users access to the new and enhanced interface, featuring a modern design and optimized record pages. To allow users to switch to Lightning Experience from the Salesforce Classic page, you need to assign the appropriate permission set to them.

The following record pages are currently available for activation: Lightning Home Page, Booking Lightning Page, Account Lightning Page, Booking Event Lightning Page, Contact Lightning Page, Inquiry Lightning Page, Volume Contract Lightning Page, Package Lightning Page, Property Lightning Page. Note that these pages are not automatically enabled, but the steps for enabling them are provided below.

You have the option to increase the number of buttons on a page. However, Amadeus recommends keeping the number of buttons on a Lightning page at the default of five to avoid clutter. Additional buttons can be accessed by opening a drop-down menu.

In the Lightning experience, users can track activities using the Activity Timeline, replacing the Open Activities and Activity History related lists.
