#1MinuteTip#SalesforceWinter23 Embed a screen flow from any Lightning Web Component with the new lightning-flow component. Developers can supercharge their flows by customizing finish behavior, setting custom styling, or launching flows from their Lightning Web Components. And they can offload complex input collection and branching logic to Flow, saving time and money.
This is another guide for beginners on how to create a simple data entry form in Salesforce LWC (Lightning Web Component).
LWC in Salesforce has a library of pre-defined components that makes it easy and fast for you to customize Salesforce as per your requirements, when you can’t meet these requirements using declarative point-and-click capabilities.
In this guide we will be using the “lightning-record-form” component of LWC to create a simple data entry form with minimum coding. This component allows you to add, view or update records real quick without writing any corresponding code in Apex.
Here are some of the other features that we will be exploring in this guide:
Use “lightning-record-form” component.
Import objects and fields references using importing references using the @salesforce/schema syntax.
Display a custom toast notification on successful creation of the record.
And this guide will cover, step-by-step with screenshots, how to:
Create Data Entry Form in LWC
Deploy LWC to Salesforce Org
Show LWC in Salesforce UI
Test LWC
If you are beginner in LWC, this will be an excellent guide to show you how to create a simple data entry form in just under 15-20 minutes.

I like the way you make sure each and every step is there. You don’t assume the user will fill in some “step everyone would know to do…”.
Pete
The way you provided step by step explanation, I feel it’s really easily understandable.
Harish
Clarity and screen shots where appropriate. Easy to follow guide.
Paul
This was pretty clear and easy to follow. But most of the SFDC tutorials and even Trailheads, its not explaining why, but just keep on showing the steps. This will make a new comer to the subject hard to undderstand.
Mathew
Brief explanation with perfection.
Lakshman
Well explained the function of each layers of the component
