I like to put a line return in the label for a table column, but it seems to strip out any html tags i put in. Is there a way to do this ?

I am trying to add a custom Javascript Button to SKUID this is a working functional button.  Here is the button code:{!REQUIRESCRIPT(“/soap/ajax/24.0/connection.js”)}{!REQUIRESCRIPT(“/soap/ajax/24.0/apex.js”)}sforce.apex.execute(“SGSFA_NA_OverLay”,“OverlaySales”, {id: ‘{!Opportunity.Id}’});window.alert(“Overlay Sales Team has been added” );window.location.reload();I have added the requirescripts as external resources in Skuid and taken them out of the code in the snippet that I am adding.  However, when I press the button I get the following error:POST https://sungardas–ebuatb–skuid.cs11.visual.force.com/services/Soap/package/SGSFA_NA_OverLay 500 (Server Error) connection.js:595Uncaught {faultcode:‘sf:INVALID_SESSION_ID’, faultstring:‘INVALID_SESSION_ID: Invalid Session ID found in SessionHeader: Illegal Session’, }Any ideas on how to get this working would be appreciated.  Thanks!

This is a pretty basic question.  I want to display all events that are related to multiple Account records that meet a certain criteria. I am having trouble pulling in the related event records.What is the best way to approach this?  For example, I have hundreds of account records with a picklist equal to ‘Office B’.  I want to list all events that are tied to any of these account records.  Thanks!  

I’m 3 days into Skuid and loving it. I’m looking to display a photograph on our student detail records, however I don’t want to have to add the photos to Salesforce as attachments/images.We already have the images on a gallery type website, and I have the URL’s that I can add to the custom Student Object.  The field would be a text field with the full “http://server.com/images/12345.jpg”; sort of thing.Would I use an inline snippet to render the image as a field?  I don’t suppose anyone has such a snippet around already… 😃

So I have tab component on one of my pages – and I’ve got three tabs set up. Tabs 1 & 3 are a-ok, but Tab 2 keeps giving me issues. Basically, when I’m on either of the good tabs, I’ve got about a quarter inch of space between the sidebar & the skuid components; however, on the 2nd tab, I have an extra quarter inch of padding.I’ve tried rearranging the tabs, deleting the tab, creating multiple new tabs, adding components & fields… but still having the issue with that tab and any others created.It’s strange because my original tab, as well as the third tab I created are working fine (albeit, the third tab does give me about 2-3 extra pixels worth of padding).Thoughts anyone?Tab 1 Selected:Tab 2 Selected:

My skuid page will eventually take the place of a custom VF page, which is already being used in an override for Account-New. In the initial rollout I would like to use Page Assignments to give most users the older custom VF Page, and to one profile, the new Skuid page.Do you think this is possible?  Also, do I have to create a Skuid VF Page for every Object-Action combination that I will be using in the Page Assignments logic?Thanks a lot,Jacob

We are overriding our “Task” Edit and View objects to go to a VisualForce page: MDI.page (Have been playing around with "View/Edit" vs distinguishing "View" and "Edit" separately and the results seem to be the same) The page assignments are set up like so: Both view and edit work as expected when the Task is suppose to load the Skuid Page (type . However Tasks that are suppose to override to the standard layouts don’t work so well… You can view the object fine, but when trying to edit the page it just redirects and ends back up on the view page. Detailed Results: If I try to go to a non skuid override task: [ORG_DOMAIN]/[TASK_ID] It will first redirect to the page override (as expected): [ORG_DOMAIN]/apex/MDI?id=[TASK_ID]&sfdc.override=1 Then redirect to the view task page (as expected): [ORG_DOMAIN]/[TASK_ID]?nooverride=1&sfdc.override=1 When I click the edit button it redirects as follow: [ORG_DOMAIN]/apex/MDI?retURL=%2F[TASK_ID]%3Fnooverride%3D1%26sfdc.override%3D1&

Rather than have a text section wrap to the next line, I’d like to cut it off with an ellipsis. I’ve been messing around with the word-wrap & text-overflow properties, but haven’t had much luck.Any advice? Thanks!

I have a popup configured with a page include and nothing else. When the popup loads, it is centered vertically. However, when the page include content loads, it is a bit long and gets pushed off the bottom of the page. This means the user needs to scroll and/or manually reposition the popup.Is there any way to set the initial top value of a popup?Thanks

Hi there,We use a custom item to track our events (Events__c), and I’m trying to link another custom item to it (called Item__c) and display the related list in a table.  We wanted a many-to-many relationship, so I created a junction item called Itemlink__c.  I added a model to my page for Itemlink__c and then pulled in the field for the related Item__c.  Itemlink__c has a Master-Detail relationship with Events__c, and a lookup relationship with Item__c.The problem is, when I add a new row to the table and pick the item to add, I get the error message “Required fields are missing: [Event]”.  Shouldn’t it automatically fill in whatever record I have open for the event field?Thanks so much!

We’re doing some data visualisations in our Skuid pages using several Javascript libraries. They work beautifully, but the only challenge we’re facing is the Apex heap size limit. Being data visualisations, they want to access chunky datasets from our Salesforce objects. The performance in the browser is fine, but eventually we inevitably run into the heap size limit when we exceed 3MB.So I did some experimenting and wanted to verify it here.I separated one visualisation into a separate Skuid page and included that in a new tab in our main page using a page include. I checked the debug logs and we seem to now end up with two heap sizes to work with: one for our main page (which is housed in a Visualforce page) and one for the page include (which runs a Skuid Visualforce page called Include). That suggests that if we do a page include for each one of our visualisations, then we may get around the heap size limit.Is this the best approach for what I’m trying to achieve? When I access the

In my experience, one of the biggest annoyances for standard SF users is that when they use a lookup field to try to find a record, but don’t find one, they can’t create a new record right then - they have to click out of the lookup, go to another place, create a new record, then come back and use the lookup field again.With Skuid, I know I can build a better lookup field (as a picklist or a type-ahead search), but what is the best way to allow a user to say “I didn’t find one, so create a new one and put it in the lookup/search field”? I can easily put a button near the lookup field that functions as a popup in which to create the new record, but the user still has to save, close the popup, and re-search for that record again in the lookup field. Is there a simple way to put that record into the right lookup field right away on the editor I came from? Or do I have to use javascript to do this?Better yet, I’d love to see this built-in, such as a config option on lookup fields for ‘Show

I am hoping one of you brilliant, more experienced administrators can help me wrap my brain around a problem.  We provide group homes for autistic and mentally handicapped people.  There are usually 3 clients assigned to a home and we provide 24 hour care including paying their monthly rents and utilities.  In order to assign accurate rents and utility costs for a house I need to know who was living in the home at any give time so we can allocate costs correctly.  It's not complicated I just need a "move in date" and a "move out date" for each client in the home and I need to be able to look back through the whole history of the house to determine who was in the house as of a given month.  In Salesforce I have 2 objects.  I have a custom object called "House" and a person account called "Client".  A client is in a lookup relationship to a house.  Is there a way to keep a history including a custom date (since the data entry might not happen on the date that the move occurred) when peop

It looks like I can choose whether or not to show help text on custom fields, but not standard fields. On the latter it always displays, is that right? Any way we can have the ability to hide help text for standard fields, too?

Has anyone tackled this?Is there a better idea?  I imagine I might need to create a custom component.I tried including an external JS file, and a small script to load the visualization. No dice.Jacob

How can I filter a table based on State and Country Picklists introduced in Winter 2014? e.g. a table showing accounts.I don’t find any State or Country SObject for which I could create my model of.

This is probably pretty basic but is it possible to use the same page to override both the New and the Edit buttons on a custom object?  It seems you need to configure the model differently for these different scenarios.

I have a queue filter which is has three settings A) Defined as the Off filter B) Activates Condition 1 and Deactivates Condition 2 C) Activates Condition 2 and Deactivates Condition 1Firstly, a filter label like “Select an Option” would be helpful, becuase currently a new user viewing this filter is not necessarily aware of its function.Secondly, when I select the “Filter Off” option, I am not convinced that it is setting the model back to default Conditions. First piece of evidence: the filter changes values back to setting two in the filter selection list and another piece of evidence is that I can see the still limited queue values being truncated by the condition (which is supposed to be off).Have I mistaken the proposed use of the Filter Off option? Does it make sense for me to assume that it not only turns off the current filter, but reverts the model back to defaults (ie this condition is filterable but default is off).Thanks for the help,Jacob

Hello! Outside Skuid I have an OnClick Javascript button on a list view which passes selected records for a mass mail merge using Drawloop. Does anyone know would I incorporate this into inline javascript to use in Skuid’s mass actions on a related list table where the parent is an account and the children are Installation__c? Thanks for any help! Here’s the code for the button: {!REQUIRESCRIPT(“/soap/ajax/16.0/connection.js”)} var ids = {!GETRECORDIDS($ObjectType.Installation__c)}; if (!ids || ids.length < 1) alert(“Please select at least one record.”); else { var url = “/apex/loop__masslooplus?contactfield=Primary_Contact__c&sessionId={!$Api.Session_ID}&retURL=” + encodeURI(window.location.pathname+window.location.search); url += “&recordIds=”+ids.join(“,”); window.location.href = url; }

I have implemented an auto-save feature for an end user (as per this post https://community.skuid.com/t/auto-save-w24gp), but the thing that is a bit of a showstopper at the moment is that after a save, the focus is removed from the field the user was in. This could be quite annoying 🙂 So I was wondering if there is a solution to set focus to a specific field, based on a variable, after the save - this is my non-working solution so far: //Get the current field var foc = $(document.activeElement); //Do the save …e.g. skuid.model.save //Set the focus $(foc).focus()

I have a script running for a row level action that adds a set of lessons for one of a set of students in a table i would like to add a mass action so that various students can be selected and lessons added for all of them at once do i get an array of rows as an input to a snippet attached to a mass action ?

Is it possible to do conditional rendering using something other than a model - in particular using a query string via $Param? What I’m really trying to do is to pass a value into a shared Page Include to slightly alter it’s behavior (it’s a commonly used and somewhat complex page used in a popup window via page include, and having slight variations based on the query string would allow me to disable or change some simple functionality of the page based on which buttons opens it). So another answer may be to find a snippet that looks at the query string and adjusts the page content … which in this case is to hide some fields. As discussed on another forum topic (https://community.skuid.com/t/conditional-rendering-based-on-a-secondary-model) the complexity is then in stopping the field validators from requiring field values when the fields are hidden. If I can use a query string in conditional rendering, the problem goes away. But if not, I still need a way to do conditional rendering o

I have a “no related records found” message in a page title. This is configured to conditionally render when another field has no value in it. That other field is a lookup rendered as a required picklist. Normally this lookup field will get automatically populated with a record based on a filter applied to it in Skuid when the page loads. My goal is that if there is no record, the message should appear, and if the field does get populated the message should not appear. The salient point is that the time it takes for this filter to become active can take anywhere from a quarter second to two seconds or so. I understand that this probably can’t really be controlled or sped up much, so I’m not trying to address that issue. I’m trying to figure out a way to render my message only when the lookup field really truly finds no records, as opposed to that it just hasn’t finished processing it’s filter yet. Right now, when the page loads, the message appear briefly because the lookup field isn’t

Although I just purchased a year of Skuid, I am running a free trial until that goes through. Everytime I try to create a new page, I get this error: “You do not have permission to remove, add new, or modify existing Pages in the Squid Module.” Am I missing something? (System Admin, all permissions… never had this issue before but haven’t used Skuid since the new UI update).

I have a Skuid page that always loads without an issue for me. However, I have a user that has trouble trying to load it. Sometimes they get an error that says Time Limit has been Exceeded and other times it loads after about 15-30 seconds. How can I troubleshoot this issue and determine the root cause? Thanks!
