The Wizard’s pretty snazzy, but how would you use a field’s value to determine which step to show next? Well, keep reading. First, create a new Skuid page and paste in the following XML (save the page, scroll to the bottom and click “View/Edit XML”): <skuidpage showsidebar="true" showheader="true"> <resources> <labels/> <javascript> <jsitem location="inlinesnippet" name="wizardLogic" url="">var $ = skuid.$; // retrieve the model var model = skuid.model.getModel('LeadData'); // get the first row var row = model.getFirstRow(); // check the value of the field var fieldToCheck = row.Watched_a_Demo__c; // get the reference to the wizard component // through the dom element's object value var wizard = $('.nx-wizard').data('object'); // save the model model.save({callback: function(result){ // if the save was successful... if (result.totalsuccess) { // check our field value if(fieldToCheck) { // if true, navigate to step3 wizard.skooWizard('navigate','step3'); }
We have two or three places in our SKUID app where a user can create a record inline in a list. (contacts, plus two custom objects). When the user does this, as soon as they start typing in the first text field, the first column header disappears entirely - first the text of the header, then a few seconds later the space for the header - so that all of the other column headers “move over” one to the left. It doesn’t affect the actual columns, just the headers. This will stop us from going live (our go-live is planned for three weeks from today) so please help urgently. You already have access to our sandbox and we’re happy to provide more details.

HI Cannot dynamically set the maximum value of a field being rendered as a slider. If I use a field as the max value, it breaks the slider making it appear to be read only. If I leave the max value blank then it will set itself to 10,000. If the slider value is more than 10,000 on page load and I slide it to below 10,000, then I cannot slide it back to more than 10,000. Pls assist 🙂
When looking to select a field from a model, (such as when selecting fields to add to a form section) it would be great if the search term that was entered stayed in the search box when switching between “Selected” and “All Fields” so that the user doesn’t have to retype the search term when they see that the field is not under “Selected” and they have to switch to “All Fields”.
The NLX documentation has a lot of references scattered throughout the documentation to salesforce objects, rendering the documentation incorrect or confusing. I would suggest doing a search for key words that are salesforce-centric (i.e., salesforce, force, lightning, etc.) and marking those pages for update to more generic references that would work on multiple data source types.

Autofill Merge Syntax Anywhere Merge Syntax can be used Many places can use merge syntax without this functionality. Tab Label Field Template Condition Single Specified Value We would need to have someone tell us where merge syntax can be used to know where to add this. If only he had some sort of master list in a relational db to track all of this stuff. Too bad there isn’t such a thing. I really wish someone would be willing to build such a thing for the betterment of the page builder and page viewer UX. @Rob_Hatch @Matt_Sones @Skuidward_Tentacles @duane @Anna_Wiersema
This button And the ability to select or double click text in order to copy text. This was an issue in V1 way back when and then patched. can't copy text in most of page builder any more Questions @Ben_Hubbard @Rob_Hatch @Matt_Sones @duane @Skuidward_Tentacles Enable V2 to have the same please.
Looks like its a longstanding ‘issue’ with mustache.js but… It would be great if there was the mustache merges would speakup when the merge variable doesn’t exist. Long standing open issue says mustache.js isn’t going to add the feature. Add option: Warning on unknown variables · Issue #599 · janl/mustache.js · GitHub Apparently https://handlebarsjs.com/ is a mostly drop-in replacement. And there’s a mustache.js validator add-in of somesort. mustache-validator - npm I guess I’m just venting. Spend a couple hours ‘troubleshooting’ DLRS rollups when I just hadn’t hit the checkbox to include the rollup-field in the model… 🤣
Based on this post. Preselect list item - Presumably via JS snippet Questions Is it possible to ‘pre-select’ an item in a list, so it displays as selected on page-load? I’m making a console screen for campaigns with list on the left, and a page include on the right (like on the Skuid Skool “Battle of the compponents: Deck vs List vs Table - Level 2” The initial page-include loads the model first row, and I’m looking to have the corresponding list-item be selected, as it will be when the user selects another one. My expectation is it’s a line of JS, but as far as I can …

Could we create a new section in the community called Creators and developers like frame.work has? I would to take part in some community led efforts to extend the features of Skuid. I would volunteer some time to the dev for sure. I am sure other would be quite happy to collab. Why not? Set up a new Jira instance, a dev org, bitbucket and gearset? It would be amazing! Skuid could volunteer a Skuid person to steer the ship making sure it meets the Skuid mantra and architecture if they already have this on their road map. Or at the very least provide guidance to better align code and design practices for Skuid to bring the effort in house. At the very worst Skuid could benefit from user feedback and an iteratively build feature. Could we please not be held back by something like a naysayer? There are many of us that would gladly volunteer our time to grow the Skuid feature set. We could make it a community led addon with a use at your own risk disclaimer. Then Skuid can bring it in hous
I miss quite a few of the built in actions that the table came with in V1. 2 Row actions and 2 mass actions. I would love to be able to have this functionality but managed in a Component Templates page w/ some DSS features like clone and create child.
Overview: With the Salesforce Spring ‘23 release Lightning Web Security is being enabled by default in new Salesforce orgs and existing orgs with no custom components. Skuid’s Lightning component is Aura-based and currently is not supported by Lightning Web Security. It will not work if Lightning Web Security is enabled. Customers will either need to deploy Skuid pages using Visualforce or turn off Lightning Web Security until changes are made by Skuid and Salesforce. Details: What is changing with Spring ‘23. In the Salesforce Spring ‘23 release LWS is being enabled automatically in the following scenarios: New orgs Scratch orgs Sandbox orgs Production orgs that don’t contain Lightning web components (LWC) or Aura components Production orgs that contain LWC components, but don’t contain Aura components, if LWS for LWC was enabled in Winter '23 What happens with Skuid Today Skuid pages can be deployed to users in a Salesforce org using a Visualforce page, using the Skuid Page or Skuid
As per title. {need more a little different text here to accept body 😂}
It’s be nice to notify the user a row action is red vs green. As per below.
On SKUID V1 pages we’ve set up some custom CSS, including a class to apply to components to cause them to not print on a printer. We use this frequently for pages that people print out to paper or PDF so that we can hide certain elements from the page from printing, and modify things like font sizing and other elements for printing. Here’s our custom CSS for V1 pages for example: /*Print View*/ @media print { /* no-print class */ .no-print, .no-print *{ display: none !important; } /* specify on a tab set to not print the main tabs */ .no-print-main-tabs > ul:first-of-type { display: none !important; } /* Remove Edit Button */ #skuidEditBtn { display: none !important; } /* Remove any Blocked UI */ .blockUI, .blockUI *{ display: none !important; } /* Remove Master Page Header */ #sk-2OKF-1918-header, #sk-2OKF-1918-header *{ display: none !important; } #sk-37OVs0-
I have a community with multiple pages that have modals that prompt users to confirm selections before redirecting to other pages. After the redirect, the page that the user landed on is ‘stuck’ like an modal open exists, and if you press ‘ESC’ then the page returns to normal. After lots of troubleshooting, I found that I need to use the ‘Close Modals’ action before the URL redirect, or my new page gets stuck. This was happening on Chrome, and on mobile devices (iPads and iPhones). It’d be great if the redirect wiped out any open modal behavior without explicitly closing the modal (or all modals) first). With the modals closing first there is a weird moment when the screen reverts from the pop-up form back to the original before the redirect that doesn’t look smooth.
The current File Upload component has no ability to restrict the type of file being uploaded, which means a custom solution (Apex trigger) is needed for this requirement. It would be nice to have the ability to set the file types allowed within the component, like we can with file size, to eliminate the need for a custom solution.
