Salesforce Lightning Apps
A Lightning app is a customized workspace in Salesforce that organizes related pages and reports in one easy-to-use location. Apps make it simple to find and access important information related to our key tasks.

One of our main Apps is SESP Courses.
SESP Courses include tabs for Course, Course Connections, Course Offering, Course Listings, Course Listing Rules, Subject Areas, Terms, and Faculty Appointment.
These related tables or objects assist SESP in managing data about all course-related topics.
The SESP Courses Apps replace the old Course-Admin application and will be enhanced to support advanced course management and faculty workload tools in AY26.
