Option to auto cast data types in WHERE clause subquery

If you use the option “Field from another model” in a model condition, as long as the condition makes sense, the query works, even if the initial data type was mismatched. It looks like Skuid auto casts the data type. For example, I have a text field on a  custom object that represents an Id and when using this method, the query will work (Skuid casts the text to an Id type in the query).But when choosing the option “Result of a subquery” only matching data types are available via the Skuid page builder UI (at least for Id’s). And if you force the field through the XML you get a SOQL run time error saying something like “your where clause data type needs to match the field you’re filtering by.”Can Skuid make it so that the field used in the where clause are auto casted to the data type we’re filtering the query by?

Ability to add UI only fields calculated off of Sub-Queried rows

It would be great if you could add a UI only field to an object/field returned by a child query. The use case for us is to check whether or not the child object’s status matches the parent object’s status and highlight the child row conditionally. I can make a Salesforce formula field to check that, but I’d prefer to add this as  UI field instead of adding it to the data model.On the same vein as this idea. Maybe they can be merged (if that’s a thing on the community?).https://community.skuid.com/t/filter-table-row-by-sub-queried-object-field-values

Conditional formatting in a table

Would be great to have the ability to highlight or draw attention to certain fields with Conditional Highlighting in a Table.  Think of your leads that are past the SLA or Opps that may be past the Close Date.You can do that simply in Excel but would be great to show right on the page in Skuid.

Events and Tasks in one Table

I’ve been asked to provide this by several clients now. Tasks and Events in one table. Always said it wasn’t possible as a Table component only works with one Model.That said, there’s no reason the rows from a Event object model wouldn’t work in Table showing rows from a model based on the Task object in Read Only mode. Especially since many of the field API names are exactly the same between the two objects.So with inline js, the rows from an Event model can have it’s rows adopted into the Task model.You can then use a checkbox formula to make IsTask available in the Task/Event models. Using this, conditionally rendered row actions for each type can then be used to display custom popups for editing.Context can be used for both popups on both models to display a popup and edit mode field editor.

Combo Filtering Using the Chart Legend!

Hello guys and gals! I’m Shmuel and I’m a new Skuider. I’ve been learning skuid for about 1 or 2 months now and it is a life changer. It’s one of those tools that is so easy to use, it becomes a gateway for learning more complex things (kind of like Salesforce itself…). I become more and more impressed each day. It’s like Skuid has thought of everything possible (not saying there’s not room for growth though). But it’s not only the tool itself that’s great, the Skuid community is chock full of information and contributions. Here’s a small contribution to give back! It’s one of those ‘use at your own risk’ kind of things given that I’m completely new to javascript and web development (my experience is mainly in Apex). So, forgive the bad practices when you find them! And also let me know about them :). The idea behind this snippet came from a user. When presented with a pie chart, he wanted to be able to select multiple parts of the pie and see the data below. So I put a before render s

Show warning if same page in a connected org has newer version

I think this is something that could be built given current tools, but would take a bit of effort. Putting this out as a long-term to-do for myself but also to see if anyone has a smarter way of going about it, or if they know this would not work for some reason. Here’s how I would do it:Clone the page builder page and override the standard page builder with the cloned version Add a model that looks to another salesforce org, e.g. a sandbox (lots of other steps first to create a data source that looks to another org) The model would look for a page with the same name (and optionally same module) and pull in one page record and return the last modified date and last modified by fields Create a template component with some warning text in it like “This page has a newer version in {{otherOrgName}}. It was last modified on {{date}} by {{user}}” Render this template if the last modified date of the other page is greater than the last modified date of this page (or render it all the time wit

Adding a selected" class"

This idea is in reference to Barry’s post. He is requesting that users be able to add a “selected” class to the various “nx-item” classes. In order to add more clarity on pages, this functionality will allow users to see when an item is selected, without needing to take any action when its selected.  Please vote this up if you would like to see this so the devs know how important this is as they consider ideas for a future release. Thanks for helping make Skuid better!Karen

Formula for Condition Value

Here’s the work around and this will work with almost any use case. Only issue is that the UI experience will be unconventional in that the UI will load without data and then a query is performed.https://community.skuid.com/t/model-condition-based-on-formula I’d prefer that the page loads normally and formula added as a choice in Content for Value property of Condition. I also tried creating a formula field in a prior model thinking I could use it in the next model, but it seems formula fields are calculated after all models are loaded.

support picklist entry colors in charts and add to field metadata in model

One thing that would be great in globally controlling colors would be to make use of colors assigned to picklist values. Especially in Opportunities where Stage is used to split on Basic model or group in Aggregate models.

Using custom settings in Skuid

I want to know if there are alternatives to Salesforce’s getValues and getInstance custom settings methods so that I can directly refer custom settings data in Skuid. I know that we can create models based on custom settings but I see below issues with this approach: 1) It is not possible (or is very difficult) to use hierarchy custom setting if we want to leverage all three locations- UserId, profile and Org default. 2) Aren’t we adding extra SOQL query to Skuid page by using model for custom setting? Not sure, if this way, we are taking benefits custom setting offers. I did brief search on the community but could not find better way to implement custom settings. Please let me know if there is.

Manage Skuid Modules ui

It would be awesome to see a section on the skuid__SkuidSettings page where we could manage our page Modules in some kind of convenient UI. Let’s keep all of the configuration in one place, instead of forcing admins to salesforce setup –> create –> objects –> Pages –> Modules.At the very least, a link somewhere would make the process faster.

Manual filter source using rows from model should requery model on search

Currently, when using a model source for filter values, the model MUST have the rows already in it for the filter to use.  This is different than the behavior than using a model source as values for lookup field searches where it will issue the remote query as the user is searching.Having to populate the model with data ahead of time in order to use it as a filter has fairly significant consequences unless the data set is small (think of an Account search field for an Org that has 100,000 accounts where you want the user to locate any account for filtering).Automatic filters behave in this manner as Skuid issues the query as the user is searching in the filter field.  The downside to automatic filters is that you can’t apply any further conditions or set a default value.What’s the ask? Have Manual filters using Rows in Model do a “real-time” search instead of requiring that the model have the data already in it.  In short, being consistant with the way all other “search” fields behave

Universal Custom Actions and Custom Action Triggers

It just occurred to me that ideas of Barry and Pat work really well together.I’m imagining and interface where we can create the custom action sequences that Barry described, which would be available across the entire org (or module).In another section of the interface, we would be able to identify universal ‘triggers’ the way Pat described, which would run in the background anytime their conditions were met.Both get to a more pervasive use of the skuid ux, particularly the action framework, to perform global actions without apex or even javascript.Love it.

Change sort based on model condition

I recently came upon an interesting requirement. Users wanted the ability to filter for items in the past and items in the future. But they wanted the sorting to change based on the filter the user chose. I was unable to find the option to change the sorting based on a filter or even to run a snippet after selecting a filter. I’m also unable to add a unique id to a filter (so I can target it via javascript.) Either way, here’s the workaround I created in order to accomplish this.There are some flaws with this approach, the main one being that if there are multiple dropdown filters this will target all of them and then change the sort. but in my case there is only a single dropdown.Figured I’d post in case anyone else has a need for Here’s the entire inline snippet. (function(skuid){<br /> var $ = skuid.$; var activateHandler = function(){ skuid.$("#table .nx-conditioncontainer .nx-actionselect-arrow").on("click", function() { setTimeout(fun

model & action drop indicator when moving & popup for greater fidelity

So annoying when trying to drop an action into the desired location. Seems to be very finicky. Also would be great if actions and models can be viewed in a popup in order to see more in the list and have a much larger list. This would greatly reduce the very annoyance of accidental scrolling when dragging and action or model.
