Skuid NLX, SFX, & EXP

Our users are losing it over here at Column Five!! They love the charts I’ve implemented with the new Superbank release. Tons of exclamation points, lots of gifs being sent over, many happy faces. As a creative studio that specializes in data visualization - we really couldn’t be happier to finally have this functionality in our salesforce org. Skuid fans for life. 

It would be great if in a table the double click to edit function could be disabled, forcing users to click the edit icon. For some users it is not intuitive on how to back out of the edit function. When a user double clicks a row and doesn’t want to make any changes it is confusing because the “Cancel” button is not active. 

Best Lighning/Skuid demo ever. Not sure why I never saw this yet but I’m happy I did. This is some serious potential for amazing things!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50hQKOYUKRg

The new charts functionality is a great step in the right direction. However, to replace our existing charts then we need better manipulation of the the highcharts options. We can get around some of this by grabbing the highcharts object, doing some manipulation on properties or data and then redrawing after the initial render of the chart. e.g. var c=Highcharts.charts[0]; // The first Chart var s1=c.series[0]; // Closed Delivered series var s2=c.series[1]; // Closed Not Delivered series var s3=c.series[2]; // Open series s1.update({name: 'Delivered', index: 2 , legendIndex: 0}); s2.update({name: 'Not Delivered', index: 1, legendIndex: 1 }); s3.update({name: 'Open', index: 0, legendIndex: 2 }); // Do some manipulation of the data here, add labels, etc c.redraw(); But this is hacky, and we cannot change the main chart options like borders etc due to highcharts limitations in the api after the initial option setup. So, it w

Seems like the next logical step with action framework. This or logical abilities. Ie. Looping, If/else. Would be nice to be able create an action framework that can be called upon. Pretty much the same thing as a function. The tricky part would be to set some things dynamically. The arguments really. I’d call them inputs instead of arguments though. You’d add a new action called “Action Packet”. Upon selecting the target packet, the user would be presented with the inputs required and optional. My use case is that I often have a series of actions that I have to repeat. Especially in a table/drawer hierarchy. The number of steps sometimes gets to lengthy. Pain to manage little changes 4-8 levels into the hierarchy.

In the new Superbank release, there’s now the option to add a multi-select filter to a table. This is great but only seems to allow picklist fields to be used. We really need to be able to use fields like “OwnerId” (for multiple user filtering) and “RecordTypeId” (for multiple record type filtering). Could we not provide a model for the selectable options like we can currently with a regular “select option” filter?It would also be great if the new automatic condition table filtering could use non-picklist fields.

If this already been requested yet, then please consider this. This would be very useful to recreate the standard related lists “Notes & Attachments”, “Tasks & Activities”, etc. It would only display child records and not parent records. Only templates and not fields as it would be way too complex to try to create a new field renderer for this. The parent record fields can be displayed in template fields. Filters yes on the parent object. Not sure about filtering on child relationship objects. Row actions yes. No to Mass and Global actions. The only decent way I can think of would be to take child relationships from the fields section and make them fully fledged models of type Child. They’d have to show in the page builder UI somewhere and as a child. This could get fugly really fast. Any approach I’ve thought always ends up being messy. Probably why it hasn’t been done yet. Maybe you won’t consider this. 😕

It would be great to have the option to run multiple actions via the action framework on calendar click.

Many of you have probably already heard about Skuid Superbank and how it's a big deal.For the rest of you, see Louis Skelton’s preemptive praise:https://community.skuid.com/t/upon-whom-can-i-enthuse-glowingly-about-the-upcoming-skuid-releaseRelease schedule:19 Dec 2014 | Release Candidate Available here:  http://www.skuidify.com/skuidreleases09 Jan 2015 | Release pushed to all Sandboxes16 Jan 2015 | GA release available on AppExchange21 Jan 2015 | GA release pushed to all production orgs*We hope you enjoy!

You guys did it!! Great work! Merry Christmas!

The depth and breadth of Skuid content is an order of magnitude better than just a year ago and keeps getting better and better.Kudos to the documentation team!How do I get notified whenever new content is published?

I’d rather not use any extra tools unless I have too. Trello looks pretty cool but it’s outside Salesforce. Much of it can be reproduced in Skuid if only: - records could be dragged from one component to another. Doing so would simply impose the component model conditions upon the record being dropped into it. Would be slick if the models used were based upon on the activities object. - the order of the tasks could drag and drop - related records could be dragged and dropped onto the task card. Ie. Assigned to or any other custom related objects This would make for a really slick agile project management where we could customize it to our hearts content. Basically a skuidified trello.

I just did a page where an aggregate model summarized per day opened up a detail list with all job entries for that day. To accomplish this I needed to use the grouped datetime field (DAY_ONLY) and compare it with a DAY field on the detail records. However there seemed to be no way to get the DAY value to the condition. I created a aggregation for the day (MIN(DAY)) that was available on the row but it’s not possible to use this alias name in the condition. By editing the XML and putting the alias name on the condition I got this to work. I  think it would be a good idea to include the alias names in the popup for values in Activate & Set Value Conditions dialog.

Would be great to see these added to help round out the existing BeforeLoad.  All of these are possible via snippets/javascript but seems be a lot of community activity on drawers so having a declarative method would make things much simpler.  Thanks!

Not sure if this is a bug or by design so marking it as a question for now…When a drawer is toggled in a table, the tr element is decorated with the class ‘nx-item-has-drawer’ based on open/closed.  When the drawer is closed, the class is removed as part of the animation (slideup).  When the drawer is opened, the class is applied outside of the animation (slidedown).  This results in the class always being on the tr element when a snippet is invoked from an action.  The class is eventually removed when the animation is completed but depending on how tall the drawer is, processor speed, memory utilization, etc. there is no way to know how long it will take.Does it make sense to put removeClass outside of slideUp similar to the way addClass is done outside of slideDown?  This would provide a reliable method for 3rd parties to know drawer status without having to inspect internal data structures.Possibly the removeClass inside of slideUp was done with a specific in reason in mind?

It would be helpful and save TONS of time if I could click the save button while working in a CSS box or a popup box.  As it is, I need to close them every time I save, which often means I need to click 5-6 buttons to get them back open.  Just a thought…

The ability to click on any component and select “Copy to Clipboard”. This would copy the XML to the Clipboard Component that can be dragged on the page just like any other component.

Ok, another “nice to have” but would be a welcome addition.  Add the ability to specify a description/comments for elements on a page within the page builder visible only in the builder itself.  Akin to the “description” field on SFDC objects, etc.How many times have you gone back to code or in this case a page and thought to yourself - huh?  What was I doing there? 🙂Thanks!

Ok, admittedly this one probably wouldn’t be used much but I actually have a specific need for this currently and the solution I’ve come up with just doesn’t scream “obvious to the untrained eye.”Would be great to be able to define a condition on a model that evaluates a dynamic value against something other than a field value.  Here’s my current use case:I have a page that has 3 models.  On clone, I only want to clone Model #1 & Model #2.  This works perfectly by setting those models to ‘yes, if clone parameter is specified in URL’.  However, for Model #3, not only do I not want it cloned but I don’t want it populated at all.  My page handles New & Existing records so even if I set Model #3 to clone = ‘no’, the model contains the records of the id in the url parameter.Ask:Add the ability to specify a condition where the “left side” of the operation can be something other than a model field (e.g. Param value).  If this existed, I set Model #3 to “clone=no” and include a conditi

Hi Skuid team,While I appreciate the effort in producing deep dive videos, can we have more?  How about asking the community to vote on topics?  They have been invaluable to me as I have scaled the Skuid learning curve.Would love to see more Mobile examples. How about an Advanced Developer series?Do you have Skuid t-shirts and/or decals?  How can a community member earn one or purchase one?Best,Irvin

I am using one task object that is related to many other objects. Thing is, sometimes I’m not using the task object strictly as only a task. Sometimes I call it something else. As such, when there are no rows in the model/table I’d like to be able set what is displayed.

I’ve been developing my new app since mid October. It’s fairly complex I’d say. Less than 2 months later and I’ve got a General Contractor CPQ and Contract system just about ready for it’s first release.Super excited about this release!Never thought this was possible until Skuid and this Community.Thank you Skuid Team and fellow Skuid Community members.THUMBS UP TO YOU! (sorry I look a little crazy)

This is an idea that worked really well for me and may help you or spark an idea for you.  My issue was creating custom merge documents that could be manually batched together based on date range or other criteria.  I am using Conga and it merges very well but there was not a great out of the box way to do custom batches based on date ranges or other criteria.  For an organization this flexibility takes a very good solution and makes it perfect.  Skuid made perfection possible.In my case we have daily medical appointments for our clients (using events), (clients are accounts), and their doctors (contacts), with all their prescriptions (custom object).  Conga did a very good job assimilating all that data.  But my team was requesting the ability to print the forms off for a week to 10 days at a time.  Conga did well here too.  But then I was getting requests for date ranges, which makes a lot of sense.  So I reworked the conga solution using Skuid and this is what I got.  (FYI - When I

Is it possible to create a conditional rendering condition in a field editor (or elsewhere) that evaluates the value in field A against a value of field B?  I tried single/multiple specified values but this doesn’t appear to apply merge syntax.  I thought I remembered there being a “field in same row” option at one point?Thanks!
