Utility bar Lightning components
Key Takeaway
The utility bar suits a single flow that users need on many pages of a Lightning app, but it doesn't know which record the user is viewing.
The utility bar is a fixed footer in a Lightning app. It gives users one-click access to common tools, such as Notes, Recent Items, or a flow, from any page in that app. Each tool on the bar is called a utility. Each utility is a Lightning component that an app builder picks and configures without code in App Manager.
How the utility bar and its utilities work
The utility bar is a specialized type of Lightning page. When a user clicks a utility, it opens in a docked panel. Some utilities also support pop-out, which opens them in a new browser window.
When you set up a utility bar, you choose which Lightning components to use as utilities. For example, you can choose productivity tools like Notes and Recent Items, or the Flow component.
Each utility has utility item properties and component properties. Utility item properties include the label and icon shown in the bar and the panel height and width. Component properties include which flow to run. Some utilities have properties that can't be changed.
