Activities Components

The Activities feature comes with two customization options that organizations can choose from: Aura Component or Lightning Web Component:

  • Aura components are the self-contained and reusable units of an app. They represent a reusable section of the UI and can range in granularity from a single line of text to an entire app.

  • Lightning Web Components (LWC) are a new app-centric model that provides business and datalogics to develop dynamic web applications meant for desktop and mobile devices. Because they’re built on code that runs natively in browsers, LWC LWCs are lightweight and deliver exceptional performance.
