I have a table with rows that expand into drawers which include additional tables.  Is there a way to have the “export to excel” option include both the primary and secondary table data?

Would love to see a conditional rendering option added to the “RowProperty” Source Type for Row is marked for deletion.Example Use Case - Table action that flags/unflags delete as well as performs other actions via the action framework.Thanks!

The custom action framework provides a great way to defer loading of data until it is needed. However, there are scenarios where related data is needed on initial page load but not all the data.  Use Case - An Account detail page contains a table of related contacts on the same page.  The table shows a few fields that provide context to the contact (e.g. Name, City, phone #, etc.).  The table has a drawer that contains a field editor (or anything else) that that provides the full context for the contact.  The table is just a “summary” while the drawer is the full “detail.”  The user can edit information in either the table row or the drawer and it needs to stay in sync.To accomplish this today, there are two options that I can think of:1) Account and Contact marked to load data on page load.  This pulls down all information for all records which would be very “heavy”.2) Account, ContactSummary & ContactDetails models.  Sink ContactSummary & ContactDetail model/row events and pr

Would be a great addition to Skuid to see the following:1) Clear Date Filter - Currently, the only way to “clear” a date range filter is to manually go in to start & end fields, remove the values and click apply.  Would like to see an “x” or “clear” option for date range filters.2) Reset/Clear All - It’s been talked about here https://community.skuid.com/t/buttons-to-apply-filters-and-clear-filters-all-at-once and appears to be planned but this would be a welcome addition - the “apply” would be an added bonus :) The reset can be kind of faked using a toggle filter but the state goes to disabled once another filter is applied so visually it’s not quite ideal.3) Filter Area button that runs actions/snippet - Having the above would satisfy most situations but having the ability to place a button that runs actions/snippet in the filter area of a table would allow for pretty much anything.  From a UI/UX perspective, having the button in the same area and styled similarly as the filters

Would love to see a conditional rendering option added to the “Model Property” Source Type for Model “hasChanged.”Example Use Case - Clone button would show/hide based on whether or not user has edited current record(s).Thanks!

This idea is spawned from other posts I’ve had today along the same lines.https://community.skuid.com/t/model-soql-generator-for-use-in-other-appexchange-apps-ie-conga-composer https://community.skuid.com/t/apply-default-values-to-a-field-in-all-records-in-a-model-on-loading?rfm=1&topic_submit=true It would be slick if I could use Skuid just for it’s Models. Tell it which id to start with and presto, the desired set of IDs of what you’d like.Skuid can do a series of queries with ease, where it’s difficult to do in any other tool. ie. trigger ready flows, apex, etc. There are numerous additional limitations that Skuid doesn’t have, but the point is that Skuid is exceptionally good at collecting data.How about this, trigger-ready Skuid pages? Same idea as trigger ready flows. No interface. Just inputs and outputs.

There are times where I’ll need to recreate the model as a SOQL query in order to present the same data in something like Conga Composer. I know I can make the Query if Skuid can make the Model, but it would be so much faster to just copy and paste the Query.Right now, I can force Skuid to show it to me by intentionally breaking the model in the XML. Then just need to know what to fix when I copy the SOQL query.

As a scuba diver for many years, I would like to officially recognize the Skuid Home page and scuba theme.  

We have a large number of static resources for Skuid.  To improve the code management of these resources we’ve zipped them up and included them as a single static resource (ZIP). Performance wise, it’s always best to include as few external resources as possible on a webpage, however due to the nature of our code (custom jquery plugin, custom runtime base, customized third-party items, etc.) it’s just not practical for us unfortunately.  If we could we would be able to leverage the already existing auto-include feature (see https://community.skuid.com/t/reusing-resources).Within the builder, we have a static resource entry for each individual file that we require on a page.  The challenge comes in to play in two areas:Quickly identifying which resource is included since the builder display shows the name of the static resource (not inclusive of the path).  In our case, if we have 6 static resources, they all show the same name.Each page must contain the static resource items even thoug

I can’t tell you home times I’ve had to traverse the multiple levels of drawers and popups via the action list.Make it so that double clicking on the action will open the popup or drawer by default. Huge time saver.

I’m wondering whether its possible to generate the body of an email with a skuid page & models.Currently the only way (that I’m aware of) to generate an email across multiple objects is to use a visualforce email template, which provides no ability for the user to edit that email before it is sent to the recipient(s).HTML and text emails can’t be used as they are limited to a single object only (so far as I can tell anyway)I’m wondering whether a skuid page, snippets, and merge syntax could be used to generate an email (probably as part of a wizard), where a basic template of Parent object & child related list items is generated, but still provides the user with enough flexibility to edit the email prior to sending.Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated.

There are times when I’d like to be able to create multiple rows all at once in a model. Further to this, I’d like the quantity to have the ability to take data from another model.

On December 10, a new "Critical Update" is going to be auto-activated by Salesforce in customer orgs. The Critical Update is called "Serve Static Resources from the Visualforce Domain". It has one particularly nasty effect  ---- when activated, this update blocks loading of Fonts that Skuid includes locally in its Themes when you are using the "skuid:page" component approach to implementing your pages. We have worked around this issue and fixed it for the Modern, Paper, and Mobile Classic themes in a patch version of Skuid, 5.21.5, available now at www.skuidify.com/skuidreleases.  This fix will be included for these Themes in Skuid's Winter release.  In the meantime, we want to make everyone aware of how to fix this if you're using standard themes --- install the latest version of Skuid. *** IMPORTANT --- for developers who have made a custom theme***  i.e. if you have cloned Modern or Paper or Mobile Classic and made your own version, you will need to change your theme to avoid this i

It will be nice if we can set the ID and Class of the field editor fields or have, by default the api name of the field as class (because you can put the same field several times in a page)This will allow to apply specific css, or apply some javascript to that field (without creating a custom renderer).I think it’s better than create a custom renderer only to apply a background or to set a id/class …

I’ve been using filter to set default values in tables.There are two things I’d like to additionally be able to do.Conditionally render another filter on the same table. This would allow me set the default value for a field only when it’s relevant. Probably been said by many others by now, but I’d like to conditionally make fields in a table conditionally render or read only based on recordtype or a value from any other field.

Desire to use a model field as the conditional value. Is this possible?

My users want the table filters to always remember their last selection.  This is mostly on our tab pages, where they used to have the native or custom List Views that always were remembered.  We’re finding that once the browser gets closed, the table filters are forgotten.  Is this correct behavior or are we missing a setting?

This would be really really cool. The ability to call a class. Specifically for connecting to trigger-ready flows using the start() method in apex. Action Name: Apex Class Lookup function for Apex Class Display inputs required for Class. (most of the time all that would be required would be an Id) This would allow programming to be done almost completely declaretively. Not only that we could set when to run the code. On model save, on button click, etc

So I’ve been thinking about custom components… And I had the following idea. A lot of us use specific configurations of components a lot of times. For example, some of us will always want a table with the same panelset and page title, or a tabset with the same tabs, etc. To keep recreating these configurations can get a little repetitive/annoying. I would suggest that there be a page builder for custom components! It would look pretty much the same as the current edit page screen but as a separate page called “Component Builder”. Users could drag and drop standard components into a specific configuration that is used very often, and save that configuration. Skuid would then make this saved component show up in the standard Components tab to be able to be dragged into the page! The tricky part will be what models/fields should the users see in this new Component Builder page, and how will they associate the components with different models? I would say that they shouldn’t see models or

There are plenty of times when I’m building that I’ll have an orphaned or unused model or field. Mostly on fields. I’d like to be able to see a list of everywhere each is used in the page. That way I can better manage changes to their names in Salesforce and how to fix the page accordingly. I know it’s relatively easy in XML, but working with XML isn’t all that elegant. Also, once I’m done building a page, if their are fields I never ended up using, I could then remove them from the model to make loading faster. A bracketed (#OfTimesUsed) beside each would be awesome. Taking this another step further, it would be nice to be able replace orphaned fields with the new field name. I expect this to be a little tricky since the XML doesn’t dynamically update itself based on the name in the model. Further to that, doing a find and replace in the XML would require find and replace on both quoted “Field_Name__c”, templated <<#Field_Name__c>> and who knows what else.

Basically I’d like to be able have two row actions that open and close a drawer and dynamically show action. Same thing as any folder structure system that shows a different icon when related records are displayed.I would use a field to store on the drawer status, but then things get really messy real fast.
