Release Notes - July 2019

by Michael Nadeau Updated on

What's New: App Creator

  • When you export an App dashboard grid to Excel and sort the grid, the rows in the spreadsheet will now follow the order of the rows in the dashboard grid.

NOTE: Only applies if your exported grid is 20,000 rows or fewer.

  • In the Designer, the Visualizer node now provides more information about the App's Fields.
  • The Visualizer now has a button to export more information to Excel.
  • Action buttons can now contain more than one Action. Previously, if you wanted a button to fire more than one Action, you had to create a Conditional Compound Action and assign that to the button. Now, you can simply add multiple Actions to the button directly.

NOTE: You can't use actions that launch a dialog box for user input this way; they must be the only Action on the button. The unsupported Actions are Approve and Reject when the "Parametrized comment" option and Manage Participant (Parametrized) are selected.

  • Action buttons also allow "on-the-fly" creation of Actions and Conditions, just like Business Rules. Additionally, the Actions Earn Badge and Looped Actions now support this feature.
  • Automated spellcheck is now available in the React UI for Textarea and editable HTML Fields as an optional feature that the system administrator can turn on.
  • Actions with a Body field, such as Send Notification or Send Report, can now be set to have the Body accept plain text and only render the HTML in the email when it is sent out. A setting in Administration controls this called "Default Configuration Mode," which can be set to Source or WYSIWYG. (It also applies to Send Comment Notification and Send External Notification.)
  • The Designer has a new node called "Related Apps," which creates a handy list of all other corporate Apps that have relationships with this one. You can also use the node to create a new relationship quickly.
  • The configuration page for an Action has a new "Used In" section. Open it up, and you can see immediately what Business Rules, Conditional Compound Actions, Looped Actions, and action buttons use your Action.
  • The Liquid / HTML preview editor has had several improvements:
    • When you add a new custom field, that field will show up in the list of variables without creating a new Record first.
    • The preview output now defaults to rendering HTML instead of giving the raw text. (The raw text is still available if you want it.)
    • The layout is now better and more readable.
  • In Administration, the details for a user group now have a "Used In" section. Open it up, and you can see what Apps use the user group and what actions touch it.
  • System administrators can now cancel a batch job by clicking a button from within its details page.
  • List Synchronization jobs are now included in the list of batch jobs.

Resolved Issues: End User

  • Fixed an issue that interfered with some users' rendering of button links in emails.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented iframes from scrolling vertically in iOS browsers.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause lag in displaying characters you typed when editing a Record.

Resolved Issues: App Creator

  • You can now have a form button set to display on anonymous portal launch but not regular launch.
  • Send Calendar Invitation Actions that are set to cancel the meeting no longer throw an error.
  • Typing to filter no longer loses the first typed character when relating transactions in some ManyToMany fields.
  • When you've made changes to the App in the Wizard and saved them, we now focus on the Field you were working with instead of setting it back to the topmost Field.
  • Having a Looped Action without an Initial Action set no longer prevents the Visualizer node from working.
  • When configuring a Related Atoms App Panel, the Editor button for the Hidden If field now works.
  • Fixed an issue with duplicating an App with UI Actions set to run on launch: the duplicated App now also gets working UI Actions.
  • When creating a numeric aggregation, there's no longer a unique separate option for MultiCurrency fields.
