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.”

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
