Iterate over data and change the value of a field until condition is not met anymore. - No more Code

I have discovered a new way using multiple actions to iterate over data and change the value of a field until a condition is not met anymore thus ending the batch process.Requirement:  Update all stock quantity values from 0 to 1One Model = StockDataModelA) First set Model Actions:2 Model Actions Settings for StockDataModel = 1st action = When Model Saved then run one action Action = Query Model (Behavior = Standard, completely replace data)2nd action = When Model re-queried then run 2 actionsAction = Update a field on row(s) field:Quantity value:1Action = Save Model StockDataModel.B) Create a Button (on Page Title) action type = multiple actions1st action = Update a field on row(s) field:Quantity value:12nd action = Save Model StockDataMode3rd action = Query Model (Behavior = Standard, completely replace data)C) Set Model Condition:field:Quantity is not = 1condition set to = is always onThis way the update will be invoked when the user clicks on the button.The multiple actions on the

Skuid's Amazing New Feature

For those of you who missed it Skuid demoed an amazing new feature at Dreamforce 14. The ability to have dynamic charts and graphs right in your Skuid pages. Very, very cool!! It was dynamic, extremely functional and of course the UI was gorgeous. It was my favorite new feature at Dreamforce 14 and was at the top of my wish list for new features… Skuid, you are doing amazing things! The stuff you are coming out with deserves its very own keynote! If people really knew how Skuid allows them to tap into and interact with their data and display it beautifully they would be amazed. Thank you for all your innovation and efforts! We all appreciate it!

Seperate default values from Conditions

Are there any plans to separate default values from conditions? Currently you can set a Model’s fields default values with conditions, but there may be times when you want to apply conditions so that a query returns a set of records that match criteria, but you want fields on those records to get a default value that the field doesn’t already have, and therefore can’t be added as a condition as it’d mean records may not be returned.There are ways around this of course, but I think separating the two functions out will help make it clearer as to the responsibilities of each.

Documentation updates?

I’ve been using Skuid on and off over the last few weeks. I’ve not delved too much into the Javascript side of things, as I’ve been trying to explore how far the declarative features can go.Whilst I like the tutorial, use case focus of the current documentation, I’d really like to see some more material around what Skuid is really doing under the covers. Sometimes Skuid can feel a bit of a black box and figuring out why things aren’t working as expected isn’t easy, and I find myself having to imagine what Skuid is doing, and then testing those ideas to see if I can confirm them one way or the other. There’s also the added element of ‘Is this a bug?’ (I guess the corollary to this is perhaps documentation of best approaches to debugging, or even new debugging tools?)Irritatingly, I don’t really have any examples to hand as I think of this - the only thing I can grasp towards is something like ‘order of execution’ - for example, I’ve been caught out by the order in which models are liste

Make child object fields search in a table

I know that you can add child objects and their fields to a table, but once you add these fields you cannot use the search feature to find records with child objects with a certain text.

Option for Center" alignment"

In places like templates and field editors, there is a picklist in the builder for aligning buttons or values “Left” or “Right”. I’d love the option to align “Center”, too! For instance, if I have a template displaying icons/images, I’d like the image to be centered in the field/column instead of on one side or the other in the editor/table in which it is displayed.

Wish List Items - Action Conditions and Custom Actions

As Rob would say, these are definitely have your cake and eat it too types of items but would love to see the following features:1) Custom Actions - Similar to custom components with a builder, would be very useful to write custom actions that would appear in the list of available actions within the action framework.  This can all be done via snippets so the functionality exists today, however having custom actions would enable a declarative approach to more common actions that take place once the custom action is written.2) Action Conditions - Similar to rendering conditions, would be very helpful to have one of the below.  For situations where a large number of actions are invoked based on a triggering event (e.g. button press), there could be a slight deviation of which actions should trigger based on some condition.  This is possible currently by having two buttons each conditionally rendered based on that condition.  However, in the case where a lot of the actions are in both butt

what needs to be entered in the ‘One-click URL’ field of the table view properties in order to view the image as a popup, rather than a new web page?  Or is this not doable?

Context aware custom component

Is there a sample available or can one be provided for building a custom component that is context aware?  Ideally, this would allow for the “Context” tab to appear in the builder.An example would be the map component in the tutorial section where the map only displays locations related to a parent item.  When placed in a drawer, the map would display all locations that are related to the parent row that is the context of the drawer.Thank you!

action to close drawer, same as closing a popup

Is it possible to create a row action that closes a drawer, say if the user wants to cancel editing info in that drawer? Pretty much the same as closing a popup in the event of a cancel action, as below:Perhaps this is one of those “the more you guys deliver, the more people ask for stuff” moments.

Add a beforeClose" event handler to a popup"

For those of you wondering how to add an event handler to a skuid popup for any event (i.e. “close”, “beforeClose”, etc) here’s a simple line of code you can run once the popup opens. skuid.$(".ui-dialog-content").dialog({<br>"beforeClose" : function()<br> {<br> //put your event-handler code here.<br> console.log(arguments);<br> }<br>})

It would be great if I could define a series of actions, name it, and assign it to a trigger event a

Currently, you define a series of actions and assign them to one trigger event. If you need to do the same actions for another trigger event, you need to either put all of the logic in a global snippet that can be assigned to both or define all of the same steps again under the second trigger event. For example, maybe you want to requery model data, reset conditions, hide/show buttons or messaging after a few different trigger events, such as A) a successful save, B) Identifying interim changes by another user that trumps your save or C) Capturing a data change in a reference list. It would be more efficient to create a global action series like “Refresh Parent Account” that has all of your steps related to displaying messages and buttons dependent on the parent account. You could add it as a single step to each separately defined trigger event, as part of their unique action sets.

Customized excel import

I’m really liking Skuid’s excel import feature! Quick question, we would like customize some parts of the process. There are 3 points we would like to play with: The title of the page. The photo The most important part… Can we change the temp file which gets downloaded, to a template that we specify? Since this page is a VisualForce page in the skuid managed package which gets the download file from the StaticResource it seems like we can’t change anything. Is there any way we can get the file to change other than recreating the entire process (apex controller, VF page, etc.)?

Upon whom can I enthuse glowingly about the upcoming Skuid release?

Golly, this upcoming Skuid release looks to be an absolute corker. I feel that there should be more of a fanfare. An event of some sorts - with live music, pineapple&cheese cocktail sticks and much expounding of Skuid’s innumerable UI virtues. SkuidForce. DreamSkuid. Something like that. Better still - have it in Blighty! I’ll rustle up a plum tart.Cheers guys!You’re all awesome - keep up the good work and I hope you enjoy continued success.

How do you do an upsert on a model?

Model row create, update and delete are all there but is there a way to do an upsert against an External ID field? When I searched the community there was one mention of a possibility for it the import wizard 2 years ago but can it be done on a model with a new operation like upsertRow(externalIdField)? Possible enhancements for the Skuid “Import” Wizard: -Allow it to perform deletes / upserts / updates, as well as inserts -Expose support for External Id matching. This is already there internally, but not in UI. Upsert is one of the most useful database operations in Salesforce and you can do it in Apex and REST APIs. It would also be nice to upsert and associate a relationship with an External ID as well.

Add ability to display icon only add tooltips to tabs, buttons, etc.

Would like to be able to display buttons, tabs, etc. as “icon only” and have a tooltip property.This would allow us to reduce the amount of real-estate required on the screen while providing contextual based information on various features similar to the way inline help works on fields.Currently using skootip calls to add tips but having a declarative method for this via the builder would be easier to maintain and would not require any custom code.var skootipConfig = {position:{my:“left bottom”,at:“left top-10”,collision:“none”},show:{delay:700}};$(“#TestTab”).skootip(‘Skuid rocks!.’, skootipConfig);Thank you!

fill in lookup value in updateRow

I’m updating a row in javascript.Some of the values are lookup values. For example, I use a custom object to hold a list of hours.So when I’m doing the update I know the hour number ( maybe 3 ), but I need to supply the id of the custom hour objects row that has 3 as its name.I was setting up some models to use to get the id (by filtering them to get them to hold the right row and reading the value from that) when I wondered if there wasn’t some way to just pass the value “3” to updateRow and have the field determine the Id of the hour object to insert.
