Release Notes - June 2019

by Michael Nadeau Updated on

What's New: End User

  • You can now run bulk actions on all App Records. When you check the "Select All" checkbox on the first page and then pick a bulk action, you get a confirmation dialog that allows you to run the Action on all pages, not just the first. If you select this option, the Actions will run in the background, and a user of your choice will receive an email notification when the process is done.

What's New: App Creator

  • If you want to do more than one thing when an event happens, you can now put more than one Action in a Business rule, similar to a Conditional Compound Action. Actions fire in the order they are listed in the window. You can reorder them by dragging and dropping them.
  • • The App's settings now have a new option to help the App launch form appear more quickly: Cache Metadata On Launch.

NOTE: This feature can cause UI Actions that run automatically when Records are launched to return the wrong data. If your App uses "UI Actions to run on launch," we recommend not using this setting.

  • Fields with numeric data (Integer, Decimal, Currency) now have a new option: Disable total on the dashboard. When this box is checked, the sum of the field values won't be displayed at the bottom of an App dashboard grid, and you won't get subtotals in groups when there is grouping.

NOTE: This setting prevents suite widgets from getting this Field's sum, so you shouldn't turn it on if you use the Field in a counter or chart.

What's New: React Designer

  • When the list of components in a node is loading, there's now a progress bar. This helps you tell whether the list hasn't loaded yet or whether any of those components have been created.
  • App panels are no longer grouped by type but listed by name in the order the tabs appear on the Record view page. You can then control that order by dragging items and dropping them.
  • When configuring a Conditional Compound Action, you can now add new Actions and Conditions on the fly (or edit them), just as you can when working on Business Rules.
  • When creating a calculated Field using a numeric aggregation, you previously had to set up a mapping between apps using a somewhat arcane syntax. We've now introduced a new graphical editor that makes creating aggregations much easier. When you set up your Field, you'll find a button to click on the Advanced tab.

This brings up a dialog box where you can enter the properties you want your aggregation to have.

Resolved Issues: End User

  • Fixed an issue that could cause users in a suite context to see an error message when creating a new Record.
  • Fixed an issue with App panel grids set to editable, where group headers would have line breaks added. Your group headers should now stay nicely on one line.
  • Setting a filter for a Checkbox Field on a dashboard grid no longer requires multiple clicks. Click "Yes" or "No" to get what you want.
  • Checkboxes no longer toggle when you click in the whitespace at the same level. (Clicking on the right-hand or left-hand label text still works.) This, in particular, helps avoid accidentally changing settings on an app's Settings page.
  • Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause a filtered Listcombo to clear after a selection.

Resolved Issues: App Creator

  • Apps with a dash in the name can now load data view names when configuring App panels.
  • UI Actions that are set to run on launch now run on anonymous portal launch and regular launch.
  • If you imported a list with an underscore (_) in the name and re-exported it, we were stripping out the underscore on export. Now, you can export lists and have punctuation just how you want it.
  • You can now have multiple "Generate Document" buttons with different templates.
  • Parametrized anonymous launch links now work with Listcombo Fields.
