A new component that looks like a table, but… 1) allows the user to pick the fields in the component like the table component does now 2) automatically creates a UI only model that is mapped to the fields chosen in the component 3) allows for manual record creation/updating through data entry 4) allows CSV upload to the UI only model 5) once all data is entered/loaded into the table, user hits the “upsert” button and all The fields in the UI only model are pushed to the target model and saved to the database.

Extend Cloning to elements within a component. Rinse and repeat buttons, row actions, filters, etc.

My use case is fairly generic. Single page app. Record selection from a table to show details and relevant related records. I have 10 models that need to be set and activated for one query models action.I’d like to have one Condition Group to which I can set that value so all the models get their value from this.I know I can set the value to use a value from another model, but I’m fairly certain this adds time for the query as the query of the parent model needs to be completed in order for all the related tables to get the value from the model. Lemeno otherwise.Basically looking to be able to Activate and Set a Condition Group as opposed to the multiple Activate and Set Condition.

I don’t think this is a thing yet in Skuid, but I use a website builder that allows for sticky components. Anywhere on the page you can put a component and set it to lock to the top of the page during scroll. So say you have a sticky wrapper component half way down the viewable area of the page on page load. You scroll down an inch and nothing changes… but if you keep scrolling past the point of the sticky wrapper component where it would normally fall off the top of the viewable screen as you scroll down, the component sticks to the top and superimposes over the components beneath it as you scroll. Thanks for all the cool tools you keep adding!

Several clients have experienced performance degradations on their Skuid pages after the Salesforce Winter ‘20 release was pushed to their orgs.

Is there a way to target the sort arrows in a table header in DSS? I have changed the background color of the header row and made text white so it is legible but the sort arrows are stuck in the default dark grey color.

Hi everyone! As an early former Skuid employee, I’ve always wanted to belong to a global slack group of Skuid builders. Even though I’ve moved on from Skuid, I miss interacting with folks from the community everyday, so I thought I’d create an unofficial slack group. The goal of the slack group is to promote networking, learning and building in Skuid.You can join using this link here: https://join.slack.com/t/skuidcommunity/shared_invite/enQtNzU5MDkwNzg0NTQ1LWRmMmNjOWQ0YjgwYThjYTJjOG… This link will expire in 15 days, so after that timeframe, you can tweet me at @notkarlthefog and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Salesforce will be auto activating Lightning Experience in all orgs starting October 12, 2019. We wanted to make sure you are aware of the following: How does Skuid play with Lightning? The Skuid product team has been working hard the past few years to ensure that Skuid is not only compatible with use in Lightning, but also optimized for performance. Here is a document called Lightning Performance overview provided by Salesforce. Please see this documentation on how to use Skuid with Lightning. What happens on October 12, 2019? Instead of needing to activate Lightning Experience, this will automatically be activated in all orgs where it has not been turned on yet. Users should still be able to toggle between Classic and Lightning Experience as explained in the release notes: “In Salesforce Classic, users see two options to switch to Lightning Experience: a link to switch to Lightning Experience appears in the header and in the user profile menu … Users can switch between Salesforce

XynManagement was recently acquired by CareDx, and we are expanding our development team. We are hiring for two new positions, Software Developer and QA, to be managed out of San Antonio, TX but open to remote. We are still finalizing the job requirements, but I wanted to give a head start to my fellow Skuidites. 🙂In a nutshell, the positions will support the product XynQAPI, a quality management tool for organ transplant centers. The above links give a good overview of our company and what we do. For the developer position, Skuid knowledge is ideal, javascript and Apex coding experience is a plus, as is experience in the healthcare industry and in particular with positions requiring HIPAA compliance. For the QA position, experience testing software and creating user and process documentation are must haves, with healthcare industry experience a plus. Contact me for more information, jsanford@caredx.com

Hello Skuid builders! Nautilus Notes September edition is tomorrow! If you missed last month’s, check out the recording on our YouTube channel. For the September webinar, Skuid practitioners will come together to talk about:V2 Conditional Styling  Skuid + DocuSign integration Skuid in Lightning: Tips & Tricks RoundupSkuid Admin & Dev Tools...and much more. We’ll talk to Meredith Meyers at American Enterprise Institute about the File Upload component - what’s cool about it, and what you should watch out for with file management in Skuid. Also, the Skuid team will give us an update about features in recent releases and what’s new in our docs. It’s going to be great.  If you haven’t yet, register here. See you there! P.S. If you came last week, sorry for the ghost town! We’ll work on getting the word out better when the schedule changes. 

Our users often stay logged in and with a dashboard page active in a browser window for a couple hours at a time. We use page includes and tabs and sliding panels so sometimes there is no automatic trigger to refresh tables and deck and rich text components that may become stale as the time works on info. Ideas:1) adding a setting in component settings for “add refresh button”  which would just put a little refresh icon at the top of a table or deck so the user could click it to requery the model2) timed refresh settings in model settings that would automatically requery a model unless there were unsaved changes every _________ minutes. Right now I just make a button or global action to refresh the models but a setting on the component or model would streamline this process.Thanks!

Drag/Drop/Copy/Paste conditions from/to components, fields, enable, render, models, etc, etc, etc Additionally, why not make conditions available in other places. I’m thinking a Conditions tab for all the types of conditions with inputs auto generated with default name based on Condition Type, Model Name, Field Name, Operator, etc, etc, etc. with the option to add a prefix label.

On last week’s Nautilus Notes, Zach showed us some pretty cool features of field properties, including a few options I had no idea about! Field properties are a rabbit hole, but seeing as most Skuid pages have some kind of data entry, it’s a rabbit hole Skuid builders are going to want to be familiar with.Today at 1pm EDT Zach and I will be doing a Deep Dive webinar on field properties in Skuid. Come join us, ask questions, and see some of the nooks and crannies in Skuid that you may have never known about. See you there!Register here: https://skuid.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JETLelrITYaHAQGjgJdiHgP.S. If you can’t make it, don’t worry - we’ll record and post it afterward. Thanks!

This would be quite handy

Nautilus Notes number three hits tomorrow! In July, we talked about context, REST model filters, sample data, and a lot more. Check out this community post for more details, along with the recording link.For the August Notes, we’ll cover: - field properties and comboboxes- Google Calendar integrations- tracking page usage analytics- embedding content via iframes in V1 and V2…and more. We’ll also get a release preview of Spark 12.2 from our Product and Engineering teams, and even though it’s not a “major” release, there’s a number of features I’m really excited about. See you at 2:03 tomorrow!

Skuid Community, We had a request to download selected files into a single zip file. We looked at solutions that involved some JavaScript libraries and some Apex. Based on a posting by another community member Nicholas L. we found that Salesforce’s page that allows you to download a file also supports downloading a Zip file with multiple selected files. Here is the format of the URL. You just need the ContentVersionId for each selected file separated by a ‘/’: /sfc/servlet.shepherd/version/download/068xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/068yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy You can find more details here: http://cropredysfdc.com/2016/03/16/download-multiple-contentversion-files-as-zip Here is a sample Skuid page that contains a snippet to get the selected file ids and download the selected files as a Zip. It should work in any Salesforce org. This is a Version 1 Skuid page. The page loads a contact record and its related files. This ‘hack’ only works with Salesforce/Chatter Files. To demonstrate this feature: Instal

As per title. This must have critical mass. Especially since the code is in the codebase and commented out atm.Why no context?http://community.skuid.com/t/provide-context-parameter-to-conditional-rendering-snippet-returns-truehttp://community.skuid.com/t/no-arguments-included-in-conditional-render-snippet-for-table-global-action-9-5-4http://community.skuid.com/t/missing-parameters-for-field-conditional-rendering-snippet

I can definitely understand if this isn’t something people would need often, but searching model fields and re-ordering them in the model would be quite helpful…and perhaps something that wouldn’t be that difficult to incorporate into the page composer (since client-side search on table’s are already possible).Reason – I often want to organize model fields and be able to search for certain fields within very large models (including models with many ui-only fields).

Hello Skuid builders! We’ve got our second Nautilus Notes webinar coming up next Tuesday, July 2nd, at 2:03pm EDT. In June, we talked about custom formulas, e-signatures, data source objects and more. If you missed the first one, check out the community post here for details and a link to the recording.For the July edition, we’re going to talk about: - context conditions and grouped tables- REST models, URL merge conditions and client-side filtering- quick sample data and data source spin-up for Skuid platform…and a lot more, including not nearly enough dad jokes from Carl. We’ll also be hearing from Chandra Verrett, long time Skuid community champion, who went from building Skuid pages at AFL to working with the great people at Rosetree Solutions. It’s gonna be great.Hope to see you there! Register here: https://go.skuid.com/nautilus-notes-webinar-julyEDIT: Recording for July is up here: https://youtu.be/IOECMEQLQ9g

Something that would be extremely beneficial is if in the SKUID composer it allowed you to add comments, functionally similar to comments in code, where you can add blocks of text that describe what’s going on with the items you’ve created in the editor, but these “comments” should only show up in the editor, not the published page.Perhaps even having the ability to add comments to the titles of objects (containers and such) in the SKUID composer, so you know what a particular container is for / contains in the composer, and have added details on how it should be used right there so when scrolling through the interface you have helpful descriptions reminding you / telling other people working on the page what everything is doing.

Hi everyone! I’m so excited about this. We’ve been doing a regular knowledge-sharing session internally at Skuid for the past year and a half, and it’s turned out to be a great way to all get better together. We call it the Nautilus Notes, and we want to open it up to you - the Skuid builder community. It’ll be on the first Tuesday of each month at 2:03 EDT, and we’ll hear from implementers - Skuid SEs, SAs, engineers and the heroes at our partners and customers - about the lessons they are learning as they try to deliver excellent experiences to their users. Limitations, great feature combos, data sources, bugs, red flags, product updates - we’re going to do our best to cover what’s going on in the Skuid implementer world each month. And it’s going to be fun, too; be prepared for jokes, bad puns and the occasional internet meme.If that sounds interesting, register below and come next Tuesday with questions (we’ll do webinar-style Q&A). And if you can’t make it, no worries! We’ll p

A known issue has been reported regarding users suddenly not being able to access Skuid pages on their community, force.com sites, etc. Our team is working with Salesforce support to determine the cause of the problem and will provide a solution as soon as possible. If you are affected by this, please leave a comment with the following information:1. Your Salesforce instance (e.g. na47)2. Your Salesforce Patch number (available on trust.salesforce.com)3. Your Version of Skuid4. What is affected (i.e. Force.com Site, Community, etc.)

Used to be called a Swan Song, but “So long, and thanks for all the fish” has a more recent vintage.This is also a bit premature, since my retirement doesn’t come until October (2019), but I want to say now that one of the highlights of my 46 years in this industry has been the last 4 that I have spent using skuid. I feel I can leave on a high point. Thanks!The other reason to mention this is the opening that I will leave. Fort Collins in northern Colorado is a nice place to live, and I’m not aware of any nearby skuid users. So I will mention this to the community for anyone who may want to follow up with a request for details.

This is totally a nice to have as there are different ways to solve for this, but I think it would be pretty cool to see in the platform.  The idea is to have a global merge function tag similar to {{#urlEncode}}{{companyName}}{{/urlEncode}} that would handle the skuid.utils.merge() function.  For example:{{#merge}}{{Body}}{{/merge}} where the body field may have merge syntax in it like:Hello {{Name}}, here’s what you need to do next on case {{CaseNumber}}. What this would support is the ability to move contextual template content into data, making it more re-usable and self service.  The best comparison of existing capability is the message template structure in Salesforce behind the Email environment where you can add fields to the subject and message body.  Where this could get really exciting would be to apply this to a web experience where contextual information is served up from a data store rather than handling it all in the page builder with templates, text components, etc.  Th
