Our Sales reps often use the related lists to get 360 views of the customer portfolio. For example, In a Household, a financial advisor will look into related financial accounts to determine customers’ investment details. 

Salesforce allows us to configure these related lists via Lightning App Builder. At the same time, these linked lists are static. For example, what if my sales rep only wants to see open quotes on opportunities under Quotes related list. Until the Sping’22 release, it was not possible with the following approach:

1. Use Lightning Web Component to create a dynamic related list
2. Use AppExchange App

With the Summer’22 release, salesforce makes it easier for us to make related lists dynamic by using Dynamic Related List – Single component. 

Dynamic Related List – Single component has the following features which differentiate it from the static related list component:

1. Define Related List Label
2. Configure Number of Records to Display 
3. Show/hide List View Action Bar
4. Define Related List Filters
5. Configure Actions 
6. Set Component Visibility 

As of the Summer’22 release, Dynamic Related List is only supported on Desktop. With Dynamic Form and Dynamic Action Bar, Salesforce adds game-changer features for its customers.

Let’s start with a real-time use case.
