Input Variable

Would be nice to have a possibility to assign variables on pages where a user can input a value that can be referenced on the page. Particularly - on dashboards, to have a field with “goal” variable that user inputs and formulas reference to calculate % of attainment. I hope this makes sense. this would be a huge advantage over standard SFDC dashboards. thanks. (not sure if this exists and I just dont know about it, in that case - please point me to the answer)

Option for different color scheme for active filters

Currently, there are different colors for toggle filters to show whether they are active.  It would be great if other filter types had similar functionality.  When a user comes back to a view (that uses saved filters), the active filters would be highlighted with a different color so they would know not all records are being displayed.…paying attention to actual filter labels can be a lot to ask 🙂

Using Calendar Component Month View with current week as first row?

Is there a way of using a Month View in the Calendar Component such that the current week is the first row? So rather than a calendar month, it’s the current + next 3 weeks?

Table Filter Saved Search Criteria

I’ve seen this in several other posts but not in a way that emulates standard SF list views. Just seems like a no brainer.Now I know that filters can be set to remember what was used last, but SF list views provide the ability to save the filter criteria and name them for quick access in the future.

Salesforce sidebar conditionally enabled when Salesforce header selected

As per title. Otherwise it seems possible to show sidebar without the header.

Redirect to URL row action not processing merge syntax for ui-only text field

Row action on a table is "Redirect to URL’ with a url of: /apex/skuid\_\_ui?page={{PurposePage}}&id={{Id}} Here’s the data in the table’s model for the row: Here’s the url that’s opening: /apex/skuid__ui? page= &id=a0R1a000001fyuSEAQ PurposePage is a ui-only text field that I’m populating with a custom field renderer on Interaction_Purpose__c; Does the merge syntax for the action process when the table renders, instead of when the action is clicked?

Global Field Rendering Control Hub

Similar to Matt’s post, but more a control hub for fields. Similar to Page Assignments.I’d like to setup additional rendering options assignment rules by field API name, field type, by User, by Profile, by Role and/or by Record Type to set default rendering option.I’d like to be able to add additional options by snippet.

Query client side if current model results are complete and less restrictive than new search conditi

Barry reminded me with his post of this idea I forgot to post.There are times when a table/chart has all the records that would be in the results of a subsequent search. This can be determined under the following conditions:Existing conditions are unchanged. Model isn’t flagged as having more records available. Upon activating another condition, such as setting a filter on a table, the model/table results would then be instant. Great user experience.

Provide ability to search new (client side) and existing (server side) records in reference field lo

This stems from the issue at https://community.skuid.com/t/choose-a-lookup-field-value-from-new-records-that-exist-in-… and specifically Ben’s post at https://community.skuid.com/t/choose-a-lookup-field-value-from-new-records-that-exist-in-…. Use Case: Model ‘B’ has two fields that are lookups to ‘A’ & ‘Z’ respectively. The user can create new records in ‘A’ and ‘Z’ on the same page that records in ‘B’ are being created. Multiple model ‘B’ records can reference the same ‘A’ and/or ‘Z’ records. The user needs the ability to search for field values on ‘B’ record for records that exist in ‘A’ (or ‘Z’) either in the client (unsaved) or database (existing records). Currently, reference fields only support “searching” for existing records. Table filters have “manual” sources which provide some pieces of this. Unfortunately, the “manual” modes must already be loaded in order for the records to appear as options in the filter (which is not ideal when dataset is large). For the use ca

field editor section expand/collapse on label click

Based on Jared Jones’ idea for the collapsible wrapper component.Collapsible field editor sections should expand and collapse when the label or title is clicked, not just when the little arrow is clicked.We are running the ‘desktop’ skuid pages on large tablets, and the little expand collapse arrow is just too small. We’ve had to create our own ‘collapsible’ editors with pagetitle buttons and conditional rendering.

Evaluate Formula Fields earlier in the Create New Row" processing steps"

Currently, formulas are evaluated near the end of the “create new row” process.  The result of this is that formula field values are not available to use when setting default values, etc.In thinking this through, from a technical perspective, as soon as the “row” object is created, the formula fields exist and therefore should have a value.  During the “create new row” process, updateRow is called in a few different places for different reasons (e.g. setting default values).  UpdateRow processing will evaluateFormulas as well but if a formula relies on a formula, the value wouldn’t be calculated correctly.This stems from Bill’s post at https://community.skuid.com/t/ui-field-formula-to-return-current-time.Couple of questions:1) Was placing the evaluateFormulaFields near the end of the createRow process intentional?2) Does it make sense to make this call sooner in the process?Thanks!

Action Framework - Deactivate All Model Conditions

There are times where I’d like to reset all the conditions on a model. I know I could do this using a snippet fairly quickly, but the snippet wouldn’t be dynamic for use in other models.

Override object metadata

Similar to override field metadata, it would be useful to be able to override the sObject label that models pull in and is added to the footer with a custom label. I know its possible to hide with CSS, but changing this label would be helpful.

Provide ability to add nested merge syntax

Skuid should support nested merge syntax- i…e. merge formula within another merge formulafor example:{{$Model.recModel.data.0.redirectURL}}  where redirectURL field value is /{{$Param.baId}}I am not able to do this currently. Please let me know if I am missing anything.Thanks!

I realise that there isnt a calendar available for the mobile builder yet but I tried using a calendar lightning component instead - but had no joy? https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N30000000q4PvEAI  I used the workaround ie added a lightning component (markup://flexipage:recentItems) and then in the xml changed the component to mvc__calendarcomponent … and also tried calendarcomponent  Any tips as we really need a calendar on the application?

Breaking Change in Rockaway: Field from another model conditions cannot be overidden in table filte

Hi GuysI want to have a filter with the source rows in a model and filterable default on. As I created this filter, everything worked fine. Probably it stopped working with the upgrade to Rockaway. I’m working on a sandbox with version 8.8.On my dev org, I had Banzai version 7.31, so I tried it there - worked fine. After upgrading this org to Rockaway, it stopped working again. XML:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    {{{Name}}}                            {{Id}}

Update 9pm 5/23: Problem with Salesforce Summer 16 patch 5 released on 5/17.

Salesforce released a patch to the Summer 16 release last night - and installed it automatically in all sandbox instances that are on Summer 16.  The patch breaks customer's ability to use custom components and custom themes.  The patch was supposed to include a "fix" to this Known Issue: https://success.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p300000001ACTAA2 but we believe they have made the issue worse instead.  Some Key notes: 1. This issue is not related to Rockaway.  It impacts earlier releases including Banzai.   2. This issue only affects selected sandbox instances (that are on Summer 16).  We have no reports of this impacting any production.  We will keep you up to date as we know more about this situation.

Provide context parameter to Conditional Rendering snippet returns true

Love the fact that Skuid has added the ability to call a snippet in conditional rendering!Unfortunately, the current design does not provide any context to the snippet that is called.  While there are some use cases that just need to globally evaluate something, more often than not what needs to be evaluated in a free-form snippet pertains specifically to the data in context (e.g. table row action, etc.)The “context” information is present in the code path that calls the snippet so would like to see this passed through to the snippet so it can be used duration evaluation.  Without this information, many of the use cases for this feature are unattainable.Thank you!

Thank you for Ui-Only fields

I have used Skuid for a few years and always knew what a fantastic tool it was. I have never been more thankful that we use Skuid for Salesforce than today. I had built a complicated process that I thought was working properly till it wasn’t (which I am sure we can all relate to). The SF solution would be to build about 45 rollups with 45 different conditions in a process builder. In comes Skuid to save the day! With an aggregate model and Ui-only fields I was able to achieve my desired result. Thank you for always expanding on an already fantastic tool!

Generic loadAllRemainingRecords()

A little adaptation of http://help.skuid.com/m/11720/l/205447-skuid-model-model#loadAllRemainingRecordsAll this inline script to any page, and it will load all the records for the first model of the page and display the nice loading messages. This is handy if you have a list view page and want to load all the rows, but you want to do it in chunks to avoid heap size limits.I made it generic so I could reuse the same static resource on multiple pages. (function(skuid){<br>var $ = skuid.$;<br>$(document.body).one('pageload',function(){<br>      var model = skuid.model.list()[0];<br> $.blockUI({ message: 'Loading all available '+model.label+'...' });<br>      model.loadAllRemainingRecords({<br>         stepCallback: function(offsetStart,offsetEnd) {<br>            $.blockUI({ message: 'Loading ' +

Timer Component - time tasks with hooks on action framework events!

We have had the need recently to create timed tasks for the current user, such as timing calls with clients, work time elapsed etc., from any page in our org while synchronized on all active browser tabs. Hence, the Timer custom component. The component runs as a two-part system and is intended to be placed in the header of your orgs’ master page. The logic is handled by the mBlazonryComponents custom component pack, while the display is handled by my mB fork of this jQuery-counter. Aside: we’ve had to modify the original counter from the link above for two reasons: first, because it wasn’t working the way we wanted it to, and second we may choose to replace the display portion of the timer with something better later on. The mB logic controls the saving and updating of the various state variables and Datetimes, the events and invokes Action Framework actions that you select for when various events occur. The jQuery counter is responsible for displaying the time on the page visually.

Option: 'Configure edit mode popup ' to be in 'read with inline editing' mode instead

Hi,I’m wondering if there’s a way to make my table’s field in the ‘configure edit mode popup’ to be in read with inline editing insteadI tried setting the table tot hat option or read only, and fields always appear in edit modeEven when i check the box ‘read only’ in each field, same result.I understand it’s probably intended.But is there any way to bypass that without use of field renderer?Thank you

How soon we forget...

Hey Skuidsters - I took a moment to try and develop a solution the old, pre-skuid way to remind myself of how tough it used to be. You offer an amazing product, and the coolest part is that it is such an empowering tool. The other day, I had an entrepreneur friend complaining about how his developer/found was holding him hostage and preventing the company from growing. I sat with him and drew up an MVP prototype in 2 hours. To say the least, his mind was blown. Skuid + SF helps you go from infant concept to prototype at unnervingly fast speed. I only post problems on here, so I wanted to pause and vocalize my appreciation for you guys. Thanks for being cool. Thanks for doing what you do. Thanks for including us in your journey.
