Skuid NLX, SFX, & EXP

We have it for field editors but not for tables!

We are long time Skuid FANS and love developing apps for the EMEA market place. We backup our services with training and work with other Skuidifiers to bring your company’s application solutions to fruition in no time.  Skuid means NO test coding for us and for you it means you get ahead of the competition with your SF pages looking much better than the rest!

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.

Use case: I have a stylized-content area built with a Template component that shows data in multiple objects in a formatted way, with no field labels or section headings at all. An example would be an Order Form, Quote, or a Purchase Order. I need it to look like my company’s printed Order Form or Quote, so that my users can review the form before sending it out to prospects or customers for their signature, perhaps as a PDF via Docusign or just on paper.However, I’d like my staff to be able to make small tweaks to the Order Form before sending it out — ideally, they’d be able to inline-edit the contents of the Template component and see what the resultant changes would look like immediately, without having to go back in to a record’s detail page.

We’ve been long time users of box.com and sfdc. We’ve used the box integration with salesforce however there’s always the challenge of having to let everyone have access to the root “salesforce” folder in box.com. In addition, being able to access folders was somewhat clunky as you always had to go back to the “Account” record in salesforce if you wanted to have an sort of consistent file structure. We found skuid to be a great solution with some added functionality. create a field in the sfdc object record to store the url for the box item (collaborator only view) called BoxFolder__c copy and paste the box link into the field. add a tab to your table in your skuid view add a template component to the tab Select your primary object as your model For template, enter Then save This allows us to quickly reference other folders in box throughout salesforce because it’s easy enough to add hidden fields to object records. Want to add a sales library or marketing library for quick access,

So I had to change a field from a picklist to a list supplied by a custom object. So I made the new object, added the new field that would be a lookup to the object and made a temp form in SKUID that will let me update all the existing records.  Took about 15 minutes. Hurray for SKUID!

Hi all … after struggling to find a way to upload large files into Salesforce, I stumbled upon an answer using a third party service called UploadCare.com (paid service, full CDN, nice image processing, decent pricing, and great service). I thought I’d share with everyone how we used this service in combination with Skuid. Background: We are implementing a support case management system on top of Salesforce Communities. Our requirement is to be able to manage cases, and attach files to those cases. Our files can be images (screen snapshots) and very large files (logs and core dumps). We have to support IE, Chrome and Firefox, and must have reliable file transfer (resume on failure, etc). Since the current Skuid/Salesforce limit is 5MB files, we could not use that system. Also several upload services that you can find out there depend on CORS to solve a cross-object browser security issue (meaning, you can’t upload the file to a different URL than the Salesforce URL). Those serv

I like that I can now save “versions” of pages in the builder with a “description”. I’ve love it if that was easier to use, though. Going to “versions”, then adding a new row, then typing comments, then saving it is too many steps to make regular use of it during development. How about if, instead of just a “Save” button in the builder page, there was also a “Save with Comments” button. this would pop up a comment/description box, from within which I could type, tab out, hit enter, and the save would be executed with my comments.

My Feature Modification Request Wish List (in no particular order):1. Similar to being able to clone models and Skuid pages, it would be a tremendous time-saver to also be able to clone the following items:Table filters Conditions Page Assignments Lookup filters Tabs (in page layouts) Buttons 2. It would also be great if we could save customized components (filters, buttons, icons, layouts, models, etc.) to a library for quick and easy re-use.3. Some sort of tool to help with cleanup of:models  - unused fields, etc.  pages and page assignments - to determine pages are not assigned, not active, referencing invalid fields, etc. 4. Customizability on the Page and Page Assignment pages.  More specifically:The ability to create folders seem like a logical place to start The ability to customize the “allow ordering”, order by,  # of records to show, as well as some of the fields. 5.  Some sort of wizard or generator to simplify and streamline the deployment process. I’m not thinking full aut

When setting up a render condition, I see that the user has the ability to select a Source Model, when a Field Editor component is selected as a whole unit.An individual column within the field editor can also have conditions to render, but it looks like I don’t have the option to select a model.Is this meant to be this way? I know I can recreate the entire component with sight changes, but a conditionally rendered column seems to be SO close!Thanks for the time,Jacob

I need to create a custom redirect button with custom rendering that appear above a table, so I’m using a Page Title component. It would be nice if I was able to make the button appear on the left side instead of only the right side, though, so that it was more visible to the user. Sometimes pages ends up scrolling horizontally and then the button isn’t visible.

The file upload dialog is not inline with the other page action buttons.  It would be great if you could include this button on the Page Title Component.Perhaps JS?

SKUID lets me do things in Salesforce that would boggle my mind if i tried to do them using visualforce pages and apexI’m in the process of finishing up a “one page wizard” for create classes and enrolling students for a music schoolit lets you pick a course from a queue and displays a list of teachers approved to teach that course and the materials needed by the studentsclicking on the magnifier on any level refilters the levels below… so clicking on the magnifier for a teacher refilters the display of classes for this course the teacher is teachingclicking on the plus inserts a new classin the same way, clicking on the magnifier for a class record displays a list of students for that class, clicking on the plus adds a new student record, clicking on the magic wand lets you change the class information during the time a class is being given and rewrite all the student lesson information with the new changesclicking on the magnifier for a student displays all the lessons that have been

Typeahead.js from Twitter looks nice and powerful. Unless Skuid addresses this already somewhere. This is a jQuery plugin. Listing it in Static Resources may be a bit too simple, given its direct relation to jQuery. Thoughts? Jacob

Ability to save Template component results as PDF / Email Results Much like the ability to download an XLS output of a table.

Is it possible to create a filter condition that limits records based on distance. For example if have a custom Geocode field on Contact named Location__c I would like the filter to result in a SOQL query like SELECT Id FROM Contact WHERE DISTANCE(Location__c, GEOLOCATION(latitude,longitude), ‘mi’) < miles Ideally I would also like the values for latitude, longitude and miles be fitlerable. I’d like to combine this so that geocoordinates from my position or clicking a certain position on a map limits the model results.

I want a button or table row action to appear when either field X = true OR the current user is of a certain type. I don’t see a way to use OR with render conditions, though. Is there one?

I want to be able to show the number of related items contained in the tab label. Assuming we are using a tab view to replace the SFDC standard related lists, the user has no idea whether the tabs have any data in them. The ability to use template date {{}} in the tab label would be huge, and let the user know which tabs have information in them. This comes from my initial interaction with the Account View Starter Page in Skuid sample pages. There are 8 tabs. Jacob

Imports Related to Parent Objects - I am testing a page which creates child records and parent records in one Skuid page. It would be cool if I could import child records in this process. Either that, or suggesting to avoid it in this scenario. Basically, the “Create Child Objects and Parent Objects” tutorial + “Use Import Wizard from Global Action Button” are not currently compatible. I conclude my effort to put square pegs into round holes.

Zach takes us through the details about conditional rendering.

I’d love it if I could set conditions for a field editor’s “Default Mode” property, such as based on the values of fields in my models. This would allow sections of my page to be read-only if the “Status” field is “Approved”, or if the current user is of a certain role/profile.

skuid has let me create a very complex report the process has 3 steps first the user selects a therapist and a date range and an aggregate model is used to add up the number of times each client has had an encounter on the second tab the user again selects a therapist and a date range and a model is used to gather demographic data about the client there is a button on that tab that runs a javascript snippet that uses both the model from the first tab and the model from this tab to update 2 fields, one is a checkbox that is checked for the last encounter for each client, the other is a flag that tells whether this encounter is a “return” encounter for the client (ie, the client had more than one encounter in the time period) The last step is to apply a filter that removes all the encounter records that are not checked in step 2, leaving only one encounter record per client the user then exports the model to excel, which is the format that is required for the report of course, all thi

When a table renders wider than the browser window, setting fixed widths (“70px”) for columns is overridden, and the column data & header scrolls automatically in HTML-determined places that I often don’t want it to. I’d like the ability to force a column to be a certain width (or at least a minimum width) even if it is wider than the user’s current browser window. For instance, in the case below, I’d want to force the columns to be always x pixels wide, because I know the exact max width of the data, and in some cases the width is static.

It would be nice to be able to add some short notes to things like model & rendering conditions. I would add things like “Leave this condition as the ID instead of the name in order to make new records default properly” or “added per JK 2/24/14”. Perhaps this would be useful in other places too?
