Skuid NLX, SFX, & EXP

This is such a pain when working with multiple levels when the underlying page is long. “Scroll scroll scroll … just past it … scroll scrolll… darn, passed it again” Several times an hour is so frustrating when I’m otherwise zipping through page building.I’d instead prefer to see the popup/drawer filling the screen area below properties and no longer have the page height set to the page/popup/drawer underneath. Then I’d make the size of the popup be made clear by simply padding the elements to be displayed appropriately.

It would be great to be able to choose where to position row actions, and also to be able to style them beyond having just an icon. I understand that this mirrors salesforce styling, but for us we’re building an external community and it’s not very user intuitive. Currently got a developer trying (and struggling) to address via CSS, but would be great if this was an out of the box option!

ERG!!!

Almost all of my pages are built using responsive grids. The grid columns wrap to the next row if viewed on my iPhone which is great. I love it! However, even though the components wrap to the next row and therefore the layout is maximized for Safari’s portrait layout, the font is so small that I have to end up zooming in anyway. It seems like a setting at the page level to “Increase font 120% for Mobile” might actually allow you to have a seamless unified builder. You may also need rendering conditions specific to browser/app. For example, if viewed in desktop chrome, a table should have 7 columns. If viewed in mobile Sarfari, that table should only have 2 columns and maybe one of those columns should be a template field that contains the information from the columns that get hidden. If Skuid recognized the browser/app and allowed rendering based on how the page is being viewed, you could probably pull off a perfectly unified page build across all components.

I almost posted this as a question, but then I saw that in the Skuid Platform release notes it mentions:Can I use “static resources?”… there is not currently a static resource feature for uploading of generic assets. (Also coming soon.)Thrilled that this has already been addressed and will be available in a later release!+1! Really enjoying digging around with Skuid Native so far.

Skuid Community, Many of you use change sets and I am sure you find the experience slow and frustrating. One of the things I like to do is to use Skuid to improve upon the experience for those of us building and deploying solutions. To that ‘end’, I have attached a page xml that you can install in your org. This page displays all changes made to your org. in descending order (i.e. most recent changes at the top) and allows you to filter/search through the changes. This should make it a lot easier to find what has changed and make it easier to build your change set. Thanks to Skuid for making a product that helps the admins and developers!

It would be nice to optionally show users how many characters they have remaining on a text field or area. We don’t always want them to get the ugly message that they have input too many characters when they click save, we want them to see the number of characters remaining as they are typing so they can plan their text accordingly. Like this: Too many comments:

Now that the composer is for both desktop and mobile, it would be beneficial to have the ability to use the knowledge of knowing what OS is pulling down the page. ie. if mobile, then use set max records to 10 vs 100. That kind of thing.

Would be great to have context conditions on the File Upload button. My use case is that I want to put the File Upload button in a drawer, and have it work if more than one drawer is opened and the user goes back to an earlier drawer. 

It would be nice to be able to set a component to render based on whether another component is rendered. A picklist of the unique ids of compomenents on the page by component type would be nice here.

My favorite thing about Skuid releases is when you see a feature that nobody is talking about and you know it’s gonna make your life so much easier and your app so much more powerful.

I recently got amazon EC2. I wonder what wonders it and skuid can work!Looking forward to playing with skuid Platform!

Ever wanted your calendar to do this: Highlight an event / appointment Highlight the current day in week view in a different background color. highlight the current hour (approximately to within every 15 minutes) Finally got it to do this with the following code: /\*\* \* Modifies the calendar drawEvents method to call the Highlight MethodS \* after drawing events \*/ var defaultDrawEvent = skuid.calendar.Calendar.prototype.drawEvents; skuid.calendar.Calendar.prototype.drawEvents = function() { defaultDrawEvent.apply(this); skuid.snippet.getSnippet('HighlightCurrentAppointment')(); skuid.snippet.getSnippet('SetCurrentWeekUI')(); skuid.snippet.getSnippet('SetCurrentTimeUI')(); }; the three snippets that are called highlights the current event for a client, the second set the background color to all of the week to the pinkish color and the last one draws the red line across the hour mark. Here is the code for them: highlightCurrentAppointm

I have an idea that I think warrants a new component. It is more or less a redesign of the tab set or wizard component but would feel much different. Picture an iPhone home sceen. You have app buttons. You press an app button and the home screen disappears and the app opens in full screen. If you then hit the home button, the app disappears and the home screen reappears. Now here is the core of my idea. The app that you exited is still in memory like tabs in a tabset when you are on a different tab. So you could filter a table in an app, go to another app, do some things, then come back to the original app and it is still filtered as you left off. You can even start creating a new record, navigate away, then come back and finish the record creation. This is how the tab set component works, but it is in tabset layout. It could be modified so that the first tab is the “home screen” and pressing a button on the tab would open up a different tab. Each secondary tab would have a home button

When picking an option to render something it would be convenient to have an option “snippet returns false” in addition to the option of “snippet returns true.” My use case: I have two buttons. One says “show preferred records only”, which queries a model to show user specific preferred records, and another that says “show all records” which queries a model and ignores the model condition for user preferred records. I only want to show one button at a time. When the preferred records are displayed, I show “show all records” and when all records are displayed, I show the button “show preferred records only.” In order to do that, I had to write two snippets, which do the same exact thing, except one returns the complement value of the other. If I had an option of “snippet returns false” I’d be able to get away with one snippet!

It would be nice if, when designating style attributes, if on the attribute you could also designate a condition that activates the attribute. For example attribute color: white only if a checkbox from a model on the page is true and a separate attribute color: red only if the checkbox is false. Similar set up to conditional enabling of fields in a field editor.

Hi we have a notes field that user intermittently saves. The use case is such that we can only save the model when they are done with the page. So we can save the notes to another field from another model behind the scenes and auto populates the notes field. However, this is only specific to one logged in user. If another user is in the same page, their notes might overwrite other user’s work. Another approach comes to mind is using browser session or server Apex session. Has anyone implemented session restore of field values in Skuid?

Seems like a no brainer in having this as a component. Surprised I couldn’t find anyone mention it.

Surprised I couldn’t find this as an idea.Please enable all-day events in the calendar component using a date field.

We use custom CSS for most of our app. When we use “Enable Conditions” the style of the nx-basicfieldeditor-item-label is changed by a Style Attribute {color: rgb(0,0,0); for the label when available and Style Attribute {color: rgba(0,0,0,0.298039): for the greyed out label. The greyed out is fine but we want the color of the label when available to be that of our custom color and not black as being set by this attribute. Not sure how to change that in custom CSS.

It would be nice to have an option to show a summary of Boolean fields at the bottom of a table, showing how many are true and/or false.

I often will have a field that is conditionally rendered due to another field being edited while the component is in inline edit mode.Think Opp Stage field being set to “Closed Lost” and another field called Reason for Lost Opp being conditionally rendered in edit mode.

Introducing a delay feature for actions and rendering would open up a variety of new opportunities, particularly for visual effects. Different types of appear and disappear effects would be cool for visuals like images (example: From bottom, from right, fade in, etc…)
