Field type in ModelModel type in model listComponent properties. ie has conditional rendering, has action/interactionAction Sequence with Inputs vs not

I often come across use cases where I’d like to use the number of rows in a specified component which has context. ie. in a drawer or popup/modal. As an example, in a modal I’d like to create section headers above tables which show the # of rows in the below table. Additionally, I’d like to conditionally render a Text component saying “No notes” instead of an empty table.

How to set form fields to have an underline like LEX.

Page Builder Clone all the things. Component elements like a button. Ability to scroll up and down while dragging/moving a component.DSS Ability to copy all the things.   a) Components   b) States When switching between Variables/Components the selected item should be what is displayed. Set left and right panels to 12.5% of page vs fixed width. They’re super narrow on a 4K monitor. Collapsible sections in main panel. Comments field for each Variables/Components. Status field for each Variables/Components. ie. Not Started, In Progress, Completed. Ability to sort Variables/Components. Show Colors in dropdown in order found in Colors. XML access if this is stored as XML. Ability to use have 2 portions of text in button. 1 left aligned and the other right aligned. Border icons need to be bolded. Difficult to see on a 4K monitor.

I’ve look through DSS and cannot find this option. In V2, can we set the field color to change dynamically depending on whether or not the field is required?

When saving a model, the model intelligently knows which rows need inserts/updates and saves only those rows that need inserts/updates.But there still exists the possibility that if you have so many rows saving that it would cause an error (generally CPU time limit error) because too many rows are saving at once.We can get around this error by saving the items in the model incrementally in smaller batches.To do this I made a custom function “modelSaver”Example usage:$.blockUI();let pc = function (fparams){console.log(‘Saving Rows: ${fparams.nextStart}-${fparams.nextEnd}’);}$.when(skuid.custom.modelSaver(modelToSave,{limit:50,progressCallback: pc})).done( f => {$.unblockUI();});Function definition:// skuid.custom.modelSaver(model,fparams)// Saves a model incrementally as to not overload the save process with too many saves at once// fparams: object// {// limit: Number of rows to limit by. If unspecified will choose// the model’s recordsLimit property or if that is uns

When running through some operations it may be beneficial to block the UI, and while processing update the blocked UI message every so often with a new message. The most apparent way to do this is simply call blockUI again and specify a different message, but when this is done the UI momentarily unblocks and then the new block with the new message animates in and re-blocks the UI. This is not ideal for instances when you’d want to keep the UI blocked, but just update the message. Here’s a way to update the message without momentarily unblocking the UI: It’s a function called in the same way as you would call $.blockUI except if the UI is already blocked instead of blocking it again it will just update the block with the specified message. example usage: skuid.custom.blockUI({message: 'New or updated block message'}); // skuid.custom.blockUI(obj)<br>// blocks the UI with specified object as parameter

In the Summer ‘20 Salesforce release, Salesforce is retiring the Salesforce mobile web experience. What does this mean for my users? Phone (iPhone, Android) or Google tablet users using a mobile browser will get the aloha Salesforce experience. These users will NOT have the option to change to Lightning. These users will NOT have access to Lightning specific functionality. If these users need Lightning specific functionality, they MUST use the Salesforce mobile app. iPad users WILL be able to access their desired experience (aloha or Lightning) from EITHER a mobile browser or the Salesforce mobile app.  What Do I Need to Do? We highly recommend that you test what your users’ experience will be in a sandbox environment BEFORE it gets auto enabled in your production org. To test, please turn off “Enable Salesforce Mobile Web” as shown in this trailhead. 

Really nice to see that Skuid rebuilt the Pages page using v2! Shocking at first, the layout is really nice to work in, searching is and filtering is easier, but two things really stand out as awesome:Direct link to page xml - so key! automatically filters out Skuid pages - really nice that after updating I didn’t have to see all the updated Skuid pages in my list of recently modified.  Thanks guys! Keep up the great work

What if there was a setting on tables and field editors where you could choose fields that could identify duplicates as you are entering data to create a new record. Things like combination of first and last name, email, phone, etc… then, as you type, it would look up existing records and display them in an overlay next to or below the field. If the user sees an existing record in the list that matches the one they are creating, they can click it and it will take them to that record so they can update it.

When diving into data sources, the docs seem spread on whom they are addressing. On the platform there is a requirement that the endpoint/url is supplied (which in Skuid for SF is autopopulated). However the documentation provides Skuid’s requirement in some (eg OneDrive) but not in others (eg Google Drive). Maybe I missed it but it took me going to SF to set up a datasource to find out that Drive v2 is required as v3 breaks it (on platform).Just an idea.Other than that easy to set up! Thanks for all you do!AP

Can’t seem to change the style layout on api v2, even after designing my own buttons in the Design System. I can preview the icons for buttons just fine, but when trying to apply that button to a button group, it loses that styling, which also loses its styling when applied to row actions on a table. I can’t change it from the drop down menu. I want them to be in a row, like with v1

As far as I’m aware, there is a very helpful updateRows function that lets you update many rows at once in a model preventing screen rendering lag issues and in general is much more efficient than running through a loop of individual updateRow calls. Also as I understand it this more easily allows you to manage potentially asynchronous operations better by knowing when your update on all rows is complete ($when.done for updateRows runs after updating all rows, whereas $when.done for updateRow just happens on that individual row and it’s more difficult to figure out when you’ve completed updating all rows).There doesn’t appear to be an equivalent createRows function, forcing you to run createRow in a loop which usually isn’t a problem but in some cases, particularly where a table for a given model has already (at some point) been rendered on the screen and you’re running through a loop of createRow, it can cause an incredible amount of lag / freezing of your page.Is there indeed not an

IssueIn the Spring ‘20 Salesforce release, Salesforce is modifying what guest users are able to do using out of the box Salesforce in order to secure communities and force.com sites. As noted in this documentation and further explained in this documentation, although the changes are part of the Spring ‘20 release, they will not be automatically enabled in orgs until March 1st. Who Will be Affected by This:Any clients who utilize guest users in your Salesforce org may be affected by this depending on what your guest users do.How Does this Affect My Use of Skuid and What is Skuid Doing About It? Salesforce’s change also impacts Skuid’s File Upload component for site guest users. The Skuid Product Engineering team is working on a product change to restore the ability for Guest Users to use Skuid’s File Upload component to upload attachments to records. This change will be available in 11.2.30 and 12.2.14. What Do I Need to Do? As soon as possible, any clients who utilize guest users in yo

Though I like Action Sequences, the one thing they don’t currently handle is context. I often make use of popups and drawers that act the same from multiple places which are a great use case for Action Sequences, except that Context isn’t recognized. To the end, can you provide an Action Type to “Set Context Row” so that the popup can use the existing without having to query for it.

There are many actions the require additional settings to be set via a popup. ie. “Show Popup” As this action is already set to open when double clicked, can you make all other Actions to this. Branch Go yo URL

Let me take you on a journey… Imagine, if you will, loading a Skuid page with a table and filtering and sorting that table exactly as you want it. It is a beautiful work of are that tells you exactly what you need to know. Now imagine at the top of that table there was a button that says “email this”. When you press it, it gives your options: 1) Email once 2) Email Daily 3) Email weekly 4) Email Monthly 5) Email Annually You make your selection. That’s when the magic happens. 1. Skuid takes all of your filter, sorting, and field inclusion settings and order and saves the in a special Skuid Hole. 2) . It sets up an email template in salesforce that matches your table layout. Then, a standing APEX job runs a method each day and looks for that data in the Skuid Hole. If it finds any records indicating an email needs to be sent, it passes in all the settings saved in the Skuid Hole into a query for records and filters and sorts then as necessary. It then triggers an email to be sent using

There are so many times where I’d like really easy access to manage records in a spreadsheet like fashion. I don’t need the formulas and formatting options. Just the quick and easy data entry. Rows and columns would be rows and fields or vice versa. Adding rows for records would be easy. There would be a set of default fields and then a user could add more fields based on what isn’t yet on the component.

It would be great if the navigation component could include multiple sources. Say I want to combine some “Manual” options with the standard salesforce user menu in the same nav. Basically I’m asking to allow an option for individual “Manual” items to be one of the other standard item sources.

Hey everyone! No Nautilus Notes today - we’ll do a holiday edition on Tuesday, Dec 17. Stay tuned for more details.For those of you in the US, I hope your Thanksgiving was fantastic! For everyone else, thanks for bearing with us after the double whammy of Dreamforce and the short holiday week. Some of you were able to join us for our Dreamforce Edition of Nautilus Notes. We’re getting the recording uploaded to Youtube as I type this. (We’ll update this post with a link when it’s live.) We wanted to include the broader community in our survey, so we’re doing it a bit different this time around. We’re asking about preferred ways to extend Skuid V2 and your initial experience learning Skuid. If you’ve got a spare minute or two, we’d love to hear from you.Survey link (Google Form)

It would be immensely useful to have the ability to run a function on a skuid page to show how many times a resource is used on the page.There are many times when a field/model/script/action sequence/css has been added to the page to then no longer be needed for the page. This is especially true on older multi author pages.The second function for the page would be to “Preview and Confirm Removal of all Unused Resources.”
