I’d like to be able to add my own classification/category/type for my skuid pages. This would allow me to filter & sort the list view of pages according to my own purposes. It would be nice to just have a text field on the page object and have it appear on the packaged skuid page list page. That way it would be supported during upgrades and I wouldn’t have to swap around all the packaged stuff just to see a useful new field.
I couldn’t find this feature yet. But when I have many nested components on a page, it would be nice to rename the title on them. For example give my wrappers a name like section 1, wrapper with fancy image etc.
As apps get large, it would be easier to sort through all the Skuid pages created if the page list allowed for a tag or group so you could sort and filter by “Pages for Contacts” etc… And a listing of the master page each page is associated with would be convenient.
Instead of relying on page names only to know the difference between pages.
This one is pretty basic, but it could be implemented in many ways. What I suggest is a number in parentheses indicating how many of either Fields, Conditions or Actions there are for a particular model in the Model editor tree. I’d like to see (at-a-glance) which of my subtree items contain elements. Unlike this : Where the “Actions” node has no children and is the same the other subtree items that do contain objects, as seen below: Instead, something like the following could be shown to me: Making it obvious that my “Actions” node contains no elements.
Is there a way to use conditional rendering on a field in a table? I can’t seem to be able to do this.
Adding ‘pageload’ as an initiating event for model actions would eliminate a significant portion of the inline javascript that I have to write.
Buttons on model editor items other than the delete button should not be red. Dev note: the different button types should each have their own classes (each with their respective function-matched colors) for the buttons to inherit colors correctly as they all currently belong to the same class of objects. i.e. we currently have: I want: And deleting like below should be very visually different from adding elements as such:
I’d like to be able to use “to the power of” exponential functions in a UI-only field. Use case is estimating a payment amount on the front end of a public site. We have a formula field to do this, but the formula is blank until the record is saved, I’d like to show the calculation before saving. But it requires, in particular, this formula: “(1+ MonthlyInterest__c ) ^ NoofPayments2__c”, where the ^ symbol represents “to the power of”.Would be great to see that as an option in the UI-only dropdown list of Operators.In the mean time, any way to hack this?
I’ve modified the search results to be our brand colors but I can’t adjust the icons. This means my icons disappear! Give us the ability to modify their hover color 🙂 ?
Is there a plan to include Heatmaps from HighCharts? (http://www.highcharts.com/demo/heatmap)If not, can we use java script snippets to make it work?
How did you guys do it on Skuidify.com?? When you decrease the page width, the Skuid logo switches to just the U without the word, the navigation items sprout icons and some disappear… it looks like you have conditional rendering based on page width. How??Thanks in advance for divulging your secret sauce recipe.
In addition to fields, conditions, and actions, model alerts would be useful. If certain criteria is met by records returned in a query, those rows get highlighted, marked, or shown in a pop up. For example, if a row contains a priority field equal to “urgent”, the font would turn red and get underlined. If a new record was created by another user and assigned to the currently logged in user, a pop up would appear on page load to alert them that a record had been assigned. It would be nice to be able to aggregate alerts of the same model so that the alert could say “You have 5 new messages”. At least some of this is possible with conditions and actions now, but I think there would be efficiency in a specific tool for modifying fonts/backgrounds/highlights, etc… based on queries.
We have a wordpress site that keeps getting hacked, so we decided to rebuild the site using Skuid and force.com sites. It’s been amazing! current site: www.esecuredservices.comskuid site: www.fullskope.comStill working on figuring out issues like how to get the address bar to not display fullskope.secure.force.com and how to deal with navigating to multiple pages, especially considering we want to have a blog eventually, SEO ain’t going to be pretty.But still, built the new site in half a day!! And it’s fairly mobile responsive too!!Anyone else have public facing Skuid pages (besides www.skuidify.com) that they want to share? Thought it would be nice to have a gallery of links.
Would like to see a “CONTAINS” operator added to formula operators. This would behave similar to: CONTAINS(, ) and would return TRUE/FALSE Thank you!
Would like to see the ability to choose “Field From Another Model” and “Field In Same Row” in Conditional Rendering. Currently, when you choose an operator such as equals (“=”) you have no option to compare the value against a field in the same or different model using either an explicit option such as these or even applying merge syntax in the value property.Thank you!
I want to be able to show data from the last 12 months. Meaning, I’d see data for the current month, plus the previous 11. Right now, the only way I’ve found to show the data I want is by using a “≥ 1/1/2015” condition. While this works, it means on the first of every month I need to increment this condition forward one month. Given all the options for the date selection, why isn’t there a “last n months” option?
Would love to see extension support added for conditions. Similar to custom components, the ability to define an “conditions” pack would allow the builder to define the properties (source type all the way through to value or anything else of their choosing) that could then be used declaratively in the builder.This has been discussed before although not sure where it stands. With each new release of Skuid, page developers are finding all types of new ways to create pages and unfortunately, there is no way that Skuid can keep up with all of these demands. By introducing more extension points within the product, an entire new ecosystem can start to take shape by third-parties furthering the value of Skuid.I’ve accomplished some of this by modifying the underlying skuid code but it’s not a viable long term approach as it needs to be modified with each skuid release and some internal methods are just not “overridable.”Some ideas for the first component pack I would write if I could:1) Us
I’m shocked that this isn’t an idea yet!I’d love to be able to select 10 or 20 items in a folder and drag them onto the file upload component to attach them to a record. As it is, we can only upload one at a time.
It would be useful to be able to update the row in context from a popup or drawer page title button.
Not sure if this is possible I didn’t see a way to do it.It would be great to enable a button if a condition is active/deactivated.
I have created some custom fields in Salesforce content versions object. I would like to populate these fields on upload. The Skuid uploader, by default, lets you populate name and description. Is there a way to get the uploader to populate custom fields? Thanks!
The Progress Bar Indicator is awesome (https://github.com/skuidify/SamplePages/tree/master/progressIndicator)What would make it awesomer and a better replacement for the new lightning Opportunity/Lead progress indicator is to be able to connect it to a Picklist Field and have each “step” correspond to a specific value from the picklist field. That way you could do it by Stage of an Opp or Status on a Lead or Status on any custom object.
I am trying to employ auto save to a page so that any field that is edited is automatically saved to the model. This is pretty easy through model actions, but the problem is that the save action is too quick. This is a particular issue for date fields if you are manually typing them in. Is there a way to delay this action. In the future, it might be a nice feature to have a delay setting on the Event Trigger so that any event trigger could be delayed a number of seconds before the action is executed. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks
Add an optional description field for each action. Support to collapse/expand the action details pane.Why?I am old and I forget why I did something two hours ago. Seriously, new developers (or support) coming on board don’t have context. We document our code for this reason, right? So let’s provide a way to document actions and view them in a less constrained space.Thanks!
