Skuid NLX, SFX, & EXP

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!

I have multiple tabs with one table each, in which I want to basically display several filtered versions of the same model (because any data changes need to be shown across tabs). Can I create default conditions/filters to apply to only one table at a time? I think the selection of the tab would turn on and off certain conditions in the model.

How to Extend Jquery with Plugin while working with SKUID? I am messing with Twitter typeahead.js and the Functions are not showing up in the standard $ scope. Stumbled upon $j which is responding a lot nicer. Thoughts?

On the side bar there is a “New” area to create new records. I have noticed that if I override a “New” link on an object with a Skuid page the side bar “New” *Whatever Object I override" quits working. I.E. the page works great if I create a custom skuid button on a page. However the sidebar’s New Object link keeps giving me the error that “I have been Inked”. Is there anyway to get the sidebar’s “New” links to play nicely with Skuid new pages?

Is there an easy way to upload images/photos from camera/file and compress them before uploading. New phones create big images that will quickly use up available space and require long transfer time. The JIC project GitHub - brunobar79/J-I-C: J I C is a Javascript Image Compressor using HTML5 Canvas & File API that allows you to compress your jpeg & png images before uploading to the server (100% client-side and no extra libraries required!) seems to adress this, demo http://makeitsolutions.com/labs/jic/. Is it possible to combine with the file upload component in SKUID in an easy way. Either by specifying fixed value for ratio or by adjusting that as a property on the component.

I’d like to be able to make a field rendering conditional based on a secondary model on the page (not the one that the field is associated with). In my case, it is to make a field optional based on the User object (based on the logged in user), but on a Case field editor (which is a new empty case). Currently the field rendering feature does not allow this capability - something to think about for a future release…? I can use a snippet to examine the secondary model, and go into the DOM and hide the fields (or even easier, hide the entire Field Editor). But of course the field validation still runs - causing the page to be impossible to save. The best answer I’ve found … though I’m a bit worried about my approach … is also use a snippet to locate the model, traverse into registeredLists and locate my Field Editor, and within that locate my fields within the requiredItems object and delete them. Which does seem to work, though I’m diving pretty deep into your data structures. Is this a

I need to adjust the DOM via jQuery during a page load. With normal page loads, I can easily do this using an Inline javascript with code such as: (function(skuid){ var $ = skuid.$; $(function(){ $(‘#StatusPicklistFrame’).hide(); }); })(skuid); However, when the page is loaded via a Page Include - this script triggers before the DOM has been fully populated with the dynamically loaded content. The script does run as the page is loading (meaning, it waits until the Page Include begins) - but runs before I can find the objects in the DOM. In my case I’m trying to hide a Field Editor frame, which does not have any customer field renderer attached to it. I did try hooking to a field renderer on a field within the Field Editor, but I don’t appear to have access to the parent objects in the DOM. Is there a different way for me to receive a Page Include complete event so I can adjust the DOM prior to the content being visible to the user? Thanks, - Chris

Also, any clues on showing a Count of rows in a model? Note: This topic was created from a reply on the Field in Tab Name topic.

Why is Visualforce missing as an option under the Page Include component on one of my Skuid pages?

I have a lookup field (Project__c) on an Account which links to another Account. Once this lookup is entered into Step 1 of a wizard I’d like this to automatically populate an Opportunity field (Project__c) with the same value (and which links to the same record) - can Skuid accomplish this? I’m currently doing it in a visualforce page using javascript on a button click. It’s pretty ghastly.

How can a map lat/long picker like this example jQuery + google maps + Elevation - JSFiddle - Code Playground be included in a SKUID page and feed back the lat/long to fields in a model. I guess this could be done with a snippet but haven’t succeeded in getting it right.

I am following this tutorial Page Not Found — Skuid v15.1.6 Documentation and I am curious if it is possible to simply have an additional Field Editor Section to add only One child object. The tutorial shows how to connect the child Contact model to a table. I tried the same using another field editor, but the fields are not rendering in the preview. Thanks for all the help! Jacob
