• SharePoint connector Beta:

  • The new SharePoint connector lets you connect to SharePoint lists and extend your app capabilities. For more information, see the SharePoint help topic.

• My Apps:

  • Administrators and designers can set up a custom My Apps page using the template from the Nintex Gallery to be the default app to open when a participant accesses Nintex Apps and has permission to more than one app. They can also choose a different app to open by default for participants with access to multiple apps. For more information, see the My Apps help topic.

• General improvements and bug fixes.

• Accessibility:

  • Updated our tooltips to be dismissible via the ESC button to comply with WCAG 1.4.13.

  • Updated alert components to properly use aria-live and aria-atomic attributes to announce themselves to comply with WCAG 4.1.3.

• Default app permission set:

  • A default app permission set is now created when an app is created. This feature reduces the steps required for a designer to get runtime users into an app. The default app permission set contains no connection access, groups, or users. For more information, see the App permission sets help topic.

• Nintex Data:

  • Fixed an issue where table search failed.

  • Fixed an issue where create, query, update, or delete conditions for Nintex Data Tables were not applied.

• My Apps:

  • (Now available for existing tenants) The new My Apps page provides a central destination for runtime users to access apps to which they have permission. For more information, see the My Apps help topic.

• General improvements and bug fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where model subquery conditions weren't working as expected.

• Permissions:

  • Added a notification banner on the site permissions configuration screen to guide users to use app permissions instead of site permissions. For more information, see the Permissions in Nintex Apps help topic.

• Admin search:

  • Fixed an issue where searching in the admin pages did not allow clicking on search results.

• Accessibility: 

  • Added the ability to reorder table columns using keyboard in conformance with WCAG 2.5.7. You can now reorder columns using SPACE or ENTER, with screen reader instructions guiding you through the interaction.

  • Fixed an issue where go to actions in action sequences were not correctly detected and converted into actionable elements on the page. This improves accessibility of pages at runtime.

• My Apps:

  • (New tenants only) The new My Apps page provides a central destination for runtime users to access apps to which they have permission. For more information, see the My Apps help topic.

• UI-only field:

  • Added a new field property to mark the model as unsaved when field changes occur. This feature helps prevent unnecessary save or cancel prompts when UI-only fields are changed. For more information, see the UI-only field use cases help topic.

• General improvements and bug fixes.

• Tab Set component: The following new DSS properties have been added to enable you to create segmented controls (e.g., "pill tabs"):

  • Tab > Border radius

  • Tab Container > Border radius

  • Tab Container > Padding

  • Tab Container > Box shadow

  For more information, see the Tab Set help topic.

• Component empty states:

  • The text and styles of component empty states have been updated.

• Clone page: 

  • When you clone a page, you are now directed to the newly cloned page for easier editing. Previously, you were directed back to the original page that was cloned. For more information, see the Create and customize Nintex Apps pages help topic.

• User management settings: 

  • The label for the controlling how site permissions are assigned has been updated to “Manual site permission assignments” to more clearly communicate its purpose. For more information, see the Nintex Workflow and Nintex Apps connected user management help topic.

• Nintex Data: 

  • You can now grant access to Nintex Data through app permission sets. For more information, see the Permissions in Nintex Apps help topic.

  • Fixed an issue where multiple filters weren't working as expected.

• Page Designer: 

  • Fixed an issue where providing a sample value for a REST request was preventing page saves in the Page Designer.

  • REST connector: You can now select an array as the path to the contents in the Page Designer.

• Accessibility: 

  • Nintex Apps runtime and the Page Designer have been updated so that no actions are performed on mouse down in conformance with WCAG 2.5.2. Items now close or open with a full click and not on mouse down, unless dragging is an expected part of the functionality.

• Login:

  • Fixed an issue that prevented configuring the Nintex Apps login page for Nintex Apps-only user authentication in modern tenants. This configuration is for classic Nintex Apps customers only, and is intended to support their transition to Automation CE where SSO with Workflow users is required.

• Connections:

  • Added a label field to connections so that they can have user-friendly names. For more information, see the Connections help topic.

• General improvements and bug fixes.

• Permissions: 
• Nintex Data is no longer available to configure in public site permission sets. This feature is not available for public site use.
• Nintex Apps admins in eligible tenants can now sync Nintex Workflow users to Nintex Apps. This allows admins to assign users to app permission sets prior to them logging into Nintex Apps for the first time.
For more information, see the Permissions in Nintex Apps help topic.
• User management for Nintex Platform:
• All tenants without Nintex Apps-only users (all user accounts exist in Nintex Workflow) now have Nintex Apps-only user creation disabled by default.
  •  If required, admins can re-enable this with the "Allow Apps-only users" setting. We encourage users with existing Nintex Apps-only users to consider migration. For more information, see the Nintex Workflow and Nintex Apps connected user management help topic.
• Page Designer:
• Improved performance.
• Logic was adjusted to ensure action properties are refreshed correctly.

• Client-side session variables are now available to select in the Variables panel. The merge syntax is {{$Session.variable.variableName}}.

For more information, see the Page Designer help topic.

• Design System Studio:
• Add gradients and more using the new "Custom" color option.

• General improvements and bug fixes.

• App permission sets:

  • App permission sets can now be granted via Nintex Workflow groups in addition to individual users.

  • App permission sets can now be used for rendering conditions, styling conditions, enabling components, and in action flows to allow designers to surface UI components to users with specific App permission sets.

  • User global merge and the Variables panel have been updated to add support for App permission sets. The merge syntax is {{$User.appPermissions}}.

  • It is now possible to use the same app permission set name in multiple apps.

  For more information, see the App permission sets help topic.

• User management:

  • As part of the ongoing progression to leveraging Nintex platform for User Management, usernames in Nintex Apps can no longer be configured separately from email addresses. For backwards compatibility, usernames will still be available in conditions and merge syntax; however, they will have the same value as email. Existing tenants where these do not currently match will not have this automatically enforced at this time.

  • The default role alignment between Nintex Workflow roles can now be configured from the Nintex Apps User Management area (from the options menu). Admins can adjust which Nintex Workflow users will get Admin and Standard Site permission sets in Nintex Apps, and can also configure whether these mappings can be updated within Nintex Apps after the user has been created.

    This is particularly useful for existing Nintex Apps customers with multiple site permission sets, and for Nintex Workflow customers that have users that will be designers/developers in Nintex Workflow, but will not be designers in Nintex Apps.

    The default configuration continues to have the existing behavior of mapping Nintex Workflow participants to Standard Site permission set, and all others to Admin, as well as allowing Nintex Apps admins to update a user's site permission set assignment (as opposed to letting the Nintex Workflow mapping always control it).

    For more information, see the Nintex Workflow and Nintex Apps connected user management help topic.

• General bug fix:

  • Fixed an issue where a newly created action occasionally would disappear after changing a property.

• Platform user ID:

  • The platform user ID can now be used in data source object conditions or at runtime in model conditions and display conditions. You can reference it with the user property option or the merge syntax: {{$User.platformUserId}}.

• General improvements and bug fixes.

• Action flows:

  • "Inputs" are now called "input variables" and "named outputs" are now called "result variables." To support this new terminology, the $Result merge variable has been introduced to refer to result variables. Although $Result is the new way to access result variables, $Output will remain a valid way to access result variables as well.

  For more information, see the Action flows help topic.

• Action flows:

  • Ability to search for and drag actions from the left side of the action flow panel onto drop targets in the canvas.

  • Improved organization of component-bound actions and updated styles in the action list to make it easier to differentiate which flow is associated with which component.

  • Updated styling and functionality of start events area to enable easy-adding triggers like keyboard shortcuts or events.

  For more information, see the Action flows help topic.

• Page Designer: 

  • Style updates to the header and sidebar.

  • Implemented shortcut to add Form or Table components from a model within the More Options menu.

  • Streamlined drawer management, with properties reordered for improved usability.

For more information, see the Page Designer help topic.

• User management:

  • Nintex Apps can now be accessed by Automation CE Platform users with email addresses using 'plus addressing'. This is particularly useful for creating additional test accounts.
  • The "Allow Apps user creation" and "Enforce platform user management" settings now control whether users can be created and managed within Nintex Apps instead of Nintex Workflow. This helps better enforce proper user management in the tenant, as users should be managed within Nintex Workflow whenever possible.
    • This setting is currently "Off" by default, allowing app user creation, however it will be enforced in a future release.

• General bug fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where display logic was not being properly updated when model changes occurred (e.g., update record and then save/refresh).

  • Fixed an issue where original condition value was not retained for some condition types.

  • Fixed an issue where the JavaScript properties panel would not show.

  • Fixed an issue where Table headers displayed field names instead of labels for SQL connections.
  • Fixed an issue where users couldn't add HTML in the Text component pop-up editor.

• Page Designer improvements:

  • When conditions are opened, the first condition type unfurls by default. Previously, you had to select a condition type to view details.

  • When a model is opened, the Data tab is always opened by default. Previously, if you created a condition and closed the Models pane to work elsewhere, the next time you clicked on the model it took you back to the Conditions tab, which was typically not where you wanted to be.

  These improvements reduce clicks in the model and condition navigation scheme.

• General bug fix:

  • Fixed an issue where the Nintex Workflow Form component wouldn’t load at runtime.

• General bug fixes:

  • Fixed a bug that occurred when you dropped a new component into the Index, which then selected the new component and displayed the correct properties in the right sidebar, but did not display the component in the canvas.

  • Fixed an issue where Nintex Data fields marked as required were not being treated as required at runtime.

  • Fixed an issue where typeahead and greater than and less than operators weren't working in the formula builder.

  • Fixed a bug where the original condition value was not being retained for certain condition types.

• Action flows:

  • You can now click View details in the top right corner of the canvas to view and edit the name and description of the action flow.

  • The Zoom in and out controls have moved to the top left corner of the canvas. Use these to adjust the view. Zoom in to focus on specific actions, or zoom out to see the entire flow.

For more information, see the Action flows help topic.

• SQL:

  • Fixed an issue where table headers displayed field names instead of labels for SQL data sources.

• REST models:

  • Fixed an issue where REST models were getting a default limit of 20 set in the XML. This limit was removed.

• Calendar component:

  • Fixed an issue where the Calendar component would not render in a List drawer.

• General bug fix:

  • Salesforce: Fixed an issue with the ServiceAppointment object where Name was improperly included in model queries.

• Page Designer:

  • Updated labels for Deck, List, and Table component footer properties improve consistency across Nintex Apps.

  • Improved Page Designer performance.

  • Improved handling for unsupported field types. Sometimes, connections have field types that are not yet supported by Nintex Apps. In the model data area, unsupported field types are designated with a distinct icon. These fields cannot be added to the model.

  • Fixed an issue where table headers displayed field names instead of labels for SQL connections.

For more information, see the Page Designer help topic.

• Connectors:

  • You can now set up and use connection variables to store connection settings instead of static setting values. If you move the application with the connection to another environment, the connection variable is also moved, but the value in it is not. This feature allows the values to be different in each environment. For more information, see the Connection variables help topic.

  • The database URL port and database host/IP address for SQL connections are combined into one database URL field.

  • Clarified parameter condition description text in legacy REST models. For more information, see the REST help topic.

  • The Authentication Providers tab is no longer available in the Connections page. Authentication providers are now configured inline for all connector types.

• User and session management:

  • As an improved security measure, platform-managed users (those using an identity provider or Nintex authentication) can no longer use a Nintex Apps username/password to authenticate. They must use the platform-configured authentication method. They also can no longer request a password reset or have their password reset by the admin through the manage users experience in Nintex Apps.

  • The create and import manage users actions are de-emphasized in tenants that are connected to Nintex Workflow. All user management should be completed in Nintex Workflow.

  • For all new tenants, the rights a user has in Nintex Apps will be dictated by the role they have in Nintex Workflow. Upon login, users assigned a Participant role in Nintex Workflow will be assigned the Standard site permission set in Nintex Apps; all other users will be assigned the Admin site permission set. This removes the need to separately assign Nintex Workflow Designers as Designers in Nintex Apps. Existing tenants will also have this feature enabled where it doesn't conflict with any existing authentication and authorization settings.

    For more information, see the Nintex Workflow and Nintex Apps connected user management help topic.

  • User properties, including name and email address, can no longer be updated by users in Nintex Apps if their account is managed in Nintex Workflow.

  • User properties, including name and email address, can no longer be updated by admins in Nintex Apps if their account is managed in Nintex Workflow. Site permission sets, locale, and timezone can still be configured in Nintex Apps.

  • Upon logout, users are now presented with a Signed Out page instead of being directed back to the login page. This provides a more consistent experience with Nintex Workflow and ensures the default single sign-on behavior is always respected. Users that require a Nintex Apps-Only username/password can still access the login form at ui/login on their tenant.

  • The Site Permission User Signup feature is no longer available by default. If you require it, request enablement from Support.

• General bug fixes:

  • You are now able to take a product tour from the Help menu. Simply click Help > Take Apps Tour to begin.

  • Improved login behavior after timeout. When a user's Nintex Apps session expires and they click the Log In button, they will be directed through the organization's default login flow. Previously, users in some tenants with multiple authentication options were directed to choose from a list they may not have been familiar with.

• Page Designer:

  • The new Page Search feature allows you to easily search for page elements in the Page Designer, especially on long pages and pages that were built by others.

  • Updated tab naming conventions to clearly differentiate between editing and preview modes, reducing confusion when multiple tabs are open. Now Page Designer tabs will use the convention Page Name - Edit and preview tabs will use the convention Page Name - Preview.

  • Improved interface for selecting multiple fields in the Search component.

  • Fixed an issue where Table component search did not allow adding search fields when using MSSQL or Postgres data sources.

For more information, see the Page Designer help topic.

• General bug fixes:

  • Salesforce: Restored the ability to use merge syntax in the Submit for Approval action.

  • Fixed an issue where field from another model type conditions were not being created correctly.

• Page Designer:

  • Fixed an issue where Toggle filters created in the Page Designer were not displaying labels properly during runtime.

  • Implemented improvements for updating styles for a page's design system and updating the list of available design systems.

For more information, see the Page Designer help topic.

• Single Sign-On: SSO can only be configured in Nintex Apps if it was previously configured there. All new SSO configurations must be completed in Nintex Workflow. For more information on SSO configuration in Nintex Workflow, see the Configure single sign-on using SAML protocol help topic.

• Authentication provider settings: Authentication providers are now set up and managed within Connections. The separate Authentication Provider configuration area is no longer available, except to legacy Nintex Apps customers who have multiple connections using the same authentication provider. For more information, see the Authentication Providers and Connections help topic.

• General bug fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where calendar event source colors wouldn't render correctly at runtime.

  • Fixed an issue where calendars in Table drawers were not rendering properly at runtime.

• UI-only model properties: These properties now include Label and Plural label fields.

• Current REST connector: It is now easier to create conditions on current REST models:

  • Added a parameter conditions area for URL parameter conditions.

  • Fixed issues related to creating client-side conditions.

  For more information, see the REST help topic.

• Page Designer: Continued improvements to this workspace make it easier to use:

  • Clarified the help description for the Create default row property in models.

  • The Size and Spacing section of the Wrapper properties has been updated to Layout to be consistent with other components.

  • Improved the consistency of breadcrumb link styles at the bottom of the Page Designer.

This is available when inserting values to start a Nintex Workflow or a DocGen Package, or while setting field values when updating a model or creating a new row. For more information, see the Variables help content.

• General bug fix: Fixed an issue where filters would interfere with table field interactions.

• Documents connection: Use the new Documents connection and the associated document actions to generate a document using Nintex DocGen. With this connection, you can add a button to a page that is used to generate a document through an action flow. For more information, see the Document generation connection and models help topic.

  Note: This feature is only available in packages that include Document Generation.

• Variables: A new Insert variables panel allows you to easily add merge syntax in places like Text components and component headers. Variables can be inserted in any field that accepts merge syntax. For more information, see the Variables help content.

  Note: 

  We will be enabling additional variables functionality soon, including:

  • Displaying the panel for value fields in an action flow. This will be available when inserting values to start a Nintex Workflow or a DocGen Package, or while setting field values when updating a model or creating a new row.

  • Providing access to input and output variables from the panel in action flows.

• [Beta] Deployment UI: A new app deployment feature offers a visual interface for deploying and managing applications. The Deployment UI can be used for importing external apps into a single tenant, as well as deploying your own apps from development environments to production, all without needing command line tools. For more information, see the Deployment help content.

• Chart Context: A new Navigate to chart action (previously the Drilldown action) gives you the ability to connect charts in a chart set and pass data from one chart into the next one. In addition, you can add conditions to a target chart to filter data based on the end user selections from the source chart. For more information, see the Enhancing charts with actions help topic.

• Action flows: Use new keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys) to quickly navigate, edit, and manage actions in the action flow canvas.

  • Delete (Mac) and Backspace (Windows) hotkeys make removing an action from a flow easier.

  • Use arrow keys to navigate through actions.

Transition to Nintex branding

The Admin interface and error pages now reflect Nintex's visual style, including new primary colors, icons, logos, and typeface. New sites will also be provisioned with a nintex.app domain instead of skuidsite.com.

Terminology alignment with Nintex Workflow

Updated terminology creates consistency across the newly integrated experience:

• The new Composer experience is now the Page Designer.

• Data source types are now connectors.

• Data sources are now connections.

• Other terminology updates can be reviewed here.

Main navigation enhancements

Navigation icons for Settings, Search, and Help now create a more streamlined layout, providing additional space for Nintex Workflow features.

New Page Designer available

The Page Designer — our new build experience — is now available. It includes enhanced builder tools, like canvas rendering, and makes it easier to cross-reference page resources by centralizing feature areas such as actions and display logic. For existing customers, the Composer — our previous build experience — is still available, and older pages will initially open in it. There are no current plans to sunset the Composer for existing customers, but we encourage builders to build new pages in the Page Designer for enhanced functionality, ease of use, and continued support.

• For more information on the Page Designer and its features, see the Page Designer topic.

• One of the biggest changes with the Page Designer is the enhanced Index. For more information, see the Index topic.

Edinburgh Update 4 (16.5.0.0)

On Skuid SFX, implement the JsonAccess annotation to correct unexpected behaviors arising from serialization logic—notably Skuid model saves—that would cause "Apex object cannot be serialized" errors.

Added HTML support in the following component properties through use of related "Allow HTML" toggle properties:

• Button: Button label
• Button Group: Label, when displayed as a menu
• Wizard: Step labels
• Header: Title and subtitle
• Message Area: Title, as well as description
• Search: In each return object's header display name and display template
• Toast (from the Show toast action): Message to display
• Deck: Title
• Table: Title, as well as column headers
• List: Title

Fix Header component issue where its buttons were not respecting record context after their first use, resulting in experiences where editing one record would unexpectedly update all records

Update labeling to reflect pilot status of new Composer

Hyphenate "Vertical top-level navigation" in the Design System Studio

Add “Beta” tag to Chat component and OpenAI data source type

On SFX, adjust styles of components within Lightning Experience to account for Salesforce CSS updates

Fix sub-navigation item issue where merge variables were not being processed properly for URLs within the item's Go to URL action

Codebase and internal process enhancements to better avoid APIs noted as distorted by Salesforce

Fix issue with nested properties not properly updating the selected area

Resolve design system file inconsistencies that appear when downloading the file from Skuid's admin interface versus retrieving it via the CLI, which began after recent updates to streamline that file's format

OpenAI data source (for use with Chat component) development

Fix model regression where the child relationships sub-tab would not appear within the model fields tab

Fix issue where “Warn users if page has unsaved changes” page property would unexpectedly revert to “Yes” even when set to “No,” which affected by standard page edits and v1-v2 page migrations

Fix Pages list issue where the Preview option would cause errors when pages required parameters—not opening the modal for setting those parameters and ultimately not previewing the page

Ensure OpenAI data source functions with the API Keys authentication option

Adjust streamlined action sequence triggering behavior to account for issues surrounding what were previously event-triggered sequences

CDN deployment config updates

Security-related dependency upgrades

Add proper permissions for new Composer experience to Skuid Page Builder permission set

Fix Composer issue where model fields and conditions were being unexpectedly removed when the builder selected the model within the model list

Fix Chart component regression where series interactions were unavailable—instead appearing as an unusable text field within the Properties pane

Ensure consistency between SFX and NLX API calls for the OpenAI data source type

Migrate to a newer, non-deprecated third-party library for some UI elements

Upgrade timezone-related dependencies

Internal file size logging improvements

Fix Salesforce mobile issue where, in addition to the native mobile date picker, Skuid's date picker would sometimes unexpectedly appear and sometimes remain even after picking a date

Code base modularization

JS API additions to better test pages when loaded as included pages

Ensure Chat components configured for model rows display new rows as expected when their models are requeried

Fix issue where Skuid's mass update modal would not function properly with number and currency fields—causing a call stack error

Security-related dependency upgrades

Ensure that UI-only picklist fields marked as required auto-select the first picklist entry, which is the current behavior for non-UI-only fields

Fix Form issue where the component would attempt to render fields that were not in the component's model. Notably this issue could occur when, due to user permissions, fields were removed from the model to prevent unauthorized access, but the component would still attempt to render those removed fields.

Fix issue where "Hide label" property (A Form-exclusive property) appeared on Table component fields

Fix issue with UI-only filters where the inability to retrieve condition logic caused "getField is not a function" errors—particularly for date fields

Remove unused SFX labels from source control files

Fix Composer issue where the “Custom field renderer” property rendered as a text input instead of a combobox

Adjust process for renaming page revisions to utilize a modal for improved UX

Fix new row creation regression where fields on the new row that were displayed as comboboxes would have their values cleared out when the row was saved

Fix issue with "Last/Next n <unit>" related date property values, where number values were reset to 1 in the page XML instead of the entered number value whenever the date range value was changed. For example, if a user had selected “Next n weeks” and set N to 5, then changed to “Last n weeks”, the 5 would remain in the Composer but would be saved in XML as 1.

Internal code refactoring to address linting issues

Remove unnecessary content from exported design system JSON files

Refactoring of chat data source actions for future development

Fix issue where setting a field’s label position to "Right of Input" on checkbox fields broke HTML rendering in labels

For Navigation and Vertical Navigation components in the DSS, add the ability to set font family—and improve the display and grouping of various text properties

Upgrade Mustache and Moment libraries in API v1 to address security concerns

Fix Vertical Navigation issue where navigation items with the default "Go to URL" action would not respect design system styles, and instead always appeared as blue

Fix Calendar component style issue where the changing the “Default color” value for an event on a Calendar in the Design System Studio would not properly update the color

Add "col" scope to Table column headers to improve accessibility for screen reader tools like JAWS

Fix issue where the "Allow HTML" property would cause console errors in the Composer

Non-customer facing metadata API changes to facilitate build deployments

Fix issue in Skuid Database where the CSV import view would not scroll, preventing users from seeing all fields that may be imported for CSV files with many columns

Feature updates

Action sequences: Streamlined and enhanced

Action sequences provide a centralized place to create lists of actions in your Skuid page. Previously, there were three separate types: reusable, event-triggered, and hotkey-triggered. But what if you've drafted the perfect event-triggered sequence—only to realize you need it activated by a hotkey as well? Have you ever needed to duplicate your reusable sequence used on multiple buttons in order to also make it responsive to events? And what's with all these types to keep up with?

No longer! With EU3, all action sequences can be triggered however you want. Each sequence is now reusable, as well as event and hotkey triggerable by adjusting settings within the newly added Event and Hotkey tabs.

"But what about my old action sequences?" Don't worry! Everything has migrated to this new format. Your event-triggered sequences appear as normal sequences with the Events tab populated appropriately, with hotkey-triggered sequences receiving the same treatment.

This is just a hint of the kind of enhancements coming in our new Composer, but more on that in our Pilot features section…

Simpler design system files, better for source control

Source control helps organizations facilitate change management, while keeping a record of how assets and metadata have changed over time. While much of Skuid's metadata (which can be retrieved via our CLI tools) is in plain text and source control-friendly, design systems haven't been.

With EU3, we're changing the way design system assets are formed when retrieved via the CLI—allowing them to more easily be stored and diffed in your source control system of choice. Previously design systems were returned as ZIP files, with additional boilerplate and metadata that made source control for these files difficult.

Now, design systems are returned as JSON files with only the necessary information stored within it in a consistent order. You can expect much smaller files (around 5k lines shorter in some test cases) and easier diffing because of the deterministic nature.

HTML support for more labels and titles

Skuid components are the building blocks of your Skuid pages, but HTML elements are the building blocks of the web—and they offer a lot of customization options you may need for more advanced styling needs. We've steadily increased the component areas where HTML can be used in Skuid, and with this release we're opening up even more.

API key authentication method

Many products handle authentication through API keys, which they expect to be passed along in each request to service endpoints. While it’s been possible to access these services in Skuid through its Common request headers or Common request body data, doing so meant potentially exposing your API key to end users who were savvy enough to look at their network traffic.

Worry no longer about those network request sleuths, our newAPI key authentication methodallows you to store encrypted API keys and securely inject them into requests server-side—meaning end users never see those credentials.

Pilot features

Pilot features are not yet intended for prime time production use, but they are available to select customers to gather feedback as we prepare them for a broader audience.

To request access to features listed below, contact earlyaccess@skuid.com.

Chat component

There haven't been any transformational technological advancements related to artificial intelligence in the last year, right? No large, language-related models to make Skuid models of? New ways to use natural speech to produce new workflows and content?

Well just in case there have been, we're working on a Chat component that enables you to connect to your chosen AI language model of choice. Additionally you can use it for old-fashioned, human-to-human communication as well, like Salesforce's Chatter functionality.

REST Data Source Console and actions

We've been overhauling how builders can build and test their REST data sources. With EU3, we're ready to launch a closed pilot for this new experience.

With these REST data source enhancements, you can look forward to:

• REST Data Source Console: A centralized workspace to manage requests and objects in the data source—no more replicating endpoints on each and every page
• REST data source actions: The addition of data source actions allows you to trigger server logic with Skuid actions in mind. This feature replaces the need for one-off GET or POST actions on your Skuid models, and incorporates your work into Skuid's Action Framework

This experience is under heavy development, and we look forward to your feedback.

New Composer

Drum roll please: There's a new Composer coming! But this is no mere visual refresh—though we think it looks fresher too. Some major ideas we're developing in this experience include:

• More visual development with enhanced canvas rendering: Skuid's a powerful tool for the citizen developer and the code-wrangling pro, but we want the new Composer to more closely reflect what you're building without constantly refreshing page previews. Look forward to live style updates and other canvas rendering options
• Vertical layout: We'll be moving the Elements and Properties pane to the sides of the Composer, allowing for more vertical canvas space—alongside other sizing changes so the most important elements are highlighted while non-essential elements stay out of the way.
• Redesigned index: The index is the wayfinder of your Skuid page, and we've adjusted its capabilities to allow for faster drag-and-drop page creation and navigation.
• Consolidation, centralization, and bi-directionality: Skuid pages have a lot of moving parts, and they all depend on each other. Models connected to components, which trigger actions, but only when they render because all their display logic rules are true… It can be a lot to handle—and a lot to navigate.

With the new Composer experience, we're offering more wayfinding tools and more links between common areas. Go from a component to its model's properties instantly, see everywhere an action is used, and more.

We've also got a lot of modularity and reusability improvements to come for your page logic. What exactly, you may ask? Join the pilot to find out!

This new Composer experience represents a major paradigm shift in Skuid development, and we want your help in making it the best it can be.Contact us to join the closed pilot phase!

Heads up!

Vertical top-level navigation works now, but you may see differences

Previously, Vertical top-level navigation stylingproperties were not properly applied to the uppermost navigation items. With this change, these properties are now properly applied.

You may see a difference in how your Navigation components render. If so, verify the proper settings are applied in the Vertical top-level navigation properties as well as the Top level navigation item section of the Vertical Navigation component's style variants.

Fix Form issue where the component would attempt to render fields that were not in the component's model. Notably this issue could occur when, due to user permissions, fields were removed from the model to prevent unauthorized access, but the component would still attempt to render those removed fields.

Fix Composer issue where the “Custom field renderer” property rendered as a text input instead of a combobox

Fix Calendar component style issue where the changing the “Default color” value for an event on a Calendar in the Design System Studio would not properly update the color

Fix v1->v2 migration issue where <span> HTML elements, particularly in v1 Queues, would cause "There was an error running the migration" errors—failing the migration itself. Now migrations complete as expected.

Fix Table issue where drawers wouldn't display if end users hid the Table's leftmost column

Fix Skuid NLX permission set issue where adding a condition to a site permission set with the "Configure site" permission would not register as a change—preventing the Save button from enabling as expected

Fix SFX issue where some data source types were not appearing

Fix regression where fields displayed as buttons groups collapsed to minimum width instead of expanding to fill their given space

Fix regression where button groups—particularly for picklist fields displayed as button groups—failed to respect width specified for button variants in a given design system

Fix record type ID lookups for reference fields that display as picklists—which previously had an issue where those picklists would appear as blank even after choosing a value

Fix Properties pane issue where, after setting its properties in the Advanced tab, focus would unexpectedly shift from the Text component's canvas input back to the Advanced tab properties after a short delay in typing

Fix Pages list issue where the Preview option would cause errors when pages required parameters—not opening the modal for setting those parameters and ultimately not previewing the page

Fix NLX issue where search bars would collapse into the page's filters on data source, app, page, and design system admin pages

Fix navigation item issue where "Sub-navigation item" carets would appear even though there were no sub-navigation items

Previously, deleting sub-navigation items in the Composer would not appropriately update the page XML. This resulted in "Sub-navigation item" carets appearing on these navigation items even though there were no longer sub-navigation items. This affected both top-level and sub-level navigation items.

Now, page XML is updated appropriately and navigation items do not show a caret unless there truly is a sub-item.

Fix multipicklist issue where displayed values were not updated properly when picklist entries were changed

Fix model regression where the child relationships sub-tab would not appear within the model fields tab

Fix issue with nested properties not properly updating the selected area

Fix issue where the Tab Container component would switch between tab and accordion views at unexpected breakpoints when the browser window was resized

Fix issue where the some hover state style settings (border radius and background color) for Vertical Navigation items were not being applied correctly at runtime—despite previewing correctly in the Design System Studio

Fix issue where the "Merge field" field picker, used for setting context conditions, would incorrectly point to the current component's model instead of the "parent" component's model—producing incorrect context conditions

Fix issue where Responsive Grids with a main axis of "Column" would display at unexpected heights at runtime due to incorrect CSS

Fix issue where newly added actions appear to remain as "Save model" actions, even when set to other action types. While only a label issue, and navigating away and back to an action list would resolve the issue, this misleading action list rendering behavior has been corrected.

Fix issue where illustrations used in Skuid Database would incorrectly render with a black background

Fix issue where icon selectors were not displaying icons

Fix issue where Geochart components would appear not to reflect model changes, sometimes rendering before model load operations completed

Fix issue where display logic rules (particularly render conditions) were not enforced as expected on Geochart components

Fix issue where Chatter components do not properly render input areas within Skuid Page (Aura) components when Skuid LWC is enabled

Fix issue where Carousel components with slides containing nested Carousels would display incorrect slide count numbering + reimplement ability to remove slides in manually sourced Carousels

Fix issue where buttons couldn’t be deleted in the Composer once more than one existed in a button group unless the Composer was refreshed

Fix Form field issue where the "Horizontal alignment" property was not respected for boolean fields in edit mode—defaulting to "Left" alignment instead

Fix Form component issue with date/time fields where browser focus would unexpectedly shift from edit mode before end users could complete time entry—requiring users to double click the field to re-enter edit mode

Fix Form column issue where "Align self" properties were not respected—resulting in columns that were always set to flex-start

Fix EU2 regression where the implied context condition of Id = Id was no longer applied and had to be manually specified, causing unexpected results in context-driven components like Decks

Fix Edinburgh Update 2 on SFX runtime issue where sometimes icons would not render or would disappear when navigating back and forth between Lightning tabs

Fix Edinburgh Update 1 issue where metadata overrides that changed Number fields into Picklist fields were not respected in Edit Mode, notably when metadata caching was not enabled for the data source

Fix Design System Studio issue where the Chat component's avatar element would not disappear when previewing the element without the avatar

Fix design system issue where Spacing variables had a blank unit of measurement (instead of 'px' or 'rem' options)

Fix Composer issue where model fields and conditions were being unexpectedly removed when the builder selected the model within the model list

Fix Composer issue where horizontal scrolling was not possible in Tab Set components in the canvas

Fix Chart component regression where series interactions were unavailable—instead appearing as an unusable text field within the Properties pane

Fix Calendar component issue where the view option picklist wasn't rebuilding after a Month or List view was deleted, preventing the creation of a new view. Also improve disabled entries logic to accurately display the selectable Month/List entries. Additionally, some future feature work.

Fix "problem initializing component" error that appeared when attempting to create an event in the Calendar component on mobile devices

Ensure v2 components properly listen for user time zone changes

Previously custom time zone handling through snippets would not propagate as expected in v2 components—particularly the Calendar. For users migrating from v1, this meant snippets were no longer working on otherwise-identical v2 pages.

Now we've improved how the user's current time zone is retrieved and the event subscription logic used by components to ensure these changes are accounted for at runtime

Ensure the "lang" HTML attribute applied to Skuid pages uses hyphens instead of underscores to specify the language subtag.

Previously these attributes would with underscores: "lang=en_US" Now they appear with hyphens: "lang=en-US"

Ensure that internal methods used to reparent nested components properly clean up and remove the reparented component from the previous parent

Ensure switch toggles can be toggled on/off using the keyboard (Selecting them with Tab and toggling them with Spacebar)

Ensure style variant conditions update the visual appearance of components

Previously style variant conditions would sometimes not properly update the styling of components, particularly when changing values in edit mode. This fix adjusts conditional class assignment, ensuring variants are better applied when expected

Ensure OpenAI data source functions with the API Keys authentication option

Ensure initial sections on Accordion components are assigned a unique Id

Ensure exported design system files only contain updatable properties within the file

Ensure existing Lightning preview methods continue to function with LWC enabled

Feature updates

Several Skuid NLX beta features are now generally available!

Custom domains, previously released as a beta feature, allow your Skuid site to be accessible from any domain name you own. We've been hard at work incorporating user feedback, and this feature has graduated to generally available

Contact your Skuid representative to use this feature.

Single sign-on (SSO) enhancements

SSO has been possible through the SAML protocol on Skuid NLX, and several feature enhancements to Skuid NLX's SSO user provisioning features are now GA:

• Update a user's Skuid attributes (like email or locale) based on the user's SAML attributes from your identity provider.
• Automatically reactivate previously deactivated Skuid users if they login from an IdP. This is useful particularly for subscription management, ensuring you can safely deactivate users without accidentally locking out your active Skuid users.

In SSO use cases, it's not uncommon to store more detailed user information in the identity provider and then pass that information along to service providers as SAML Attributes. These attributes can now be mapped to session variables to be used in Skuid applications, primarily for data source object conditions on SQL data sources. But we've also implemented improvements to use these variables in:

• Render conditions
• Model conditions
• Merge expressions through the $Session global merge variable

Interactions support for all field types

Interactions allow certain lists of actions to run based on how the end user interacts with an element.

Previously, interactions could be set on various components—like Decks and Images—but only on template fields in Form and Table components. Now, this Action Framework feature can be applied to all field types.

New Action Framework actions

Expand/collapse drawers and sections with actions

Several Skuid components feature expandable/collapsible portions that respond to end user clicks. Drawers appear in Table and List components as context containers for rows—allowing additional details to be described in components within those drawers. Similarly, Accordion components allow for segmenting a page's elements into easily discoverable sections, which users can freely open and close. These drawers and sections appear in other components as well—including Lists and Filter Sets.

Previously, it was not possible to expand and collapse these UI elements without hacky workarounds. It's not uncommon to require one part of the page to expand in reaction to a user's actions elsewhere—or to collapse a section of the page when the user's completed all necessary actions within it.

With Edinburgh Update 2, we've incorporated more builder control over these expandable/collapsible drawers and sections through the Run component action.

For more information on individual component actions:

• Accordion
• Filter Set
• List
• Table

It's a common UI paradigm to allow users to copy text with the click of a button—perhaps a link, email address, or a templated piece of text. Skuid builders have built clever JavaScript solutions, but code no more!

With the Copy text to clipboard action, you can send specific strings or field data (using merge syntax) to the user's clipboard.

Evaluate formula fields on model

Formulas are a powerful part of Skuid's toolkit, and many UIs use formula fields alongside data fields. To have more tailored control and ensure formula fields remain in sync with actions elsewhere on the page, the Evaluate formula fields on model action can be used to reevaluate formulas on a specific row, any rows in context, or all rows in the model.

Skuid NLX now available through the AWS Marketplace

Skuid NLX, our complete app development web platform, can now be acquired through the AWS Marketplace. This integration expands our free trial capabilities and allows your company to use the NLX Site Manager to organize and create sites for your organizations.

If you're commonly building with AWS products and haven't tried Skuid yet, check out our AWS Marketplace listing!

CLI and deployment improvements

We've fixed various issues and made several general improvements to our CLI experience for Skuid NLX—both in our backend services and the CLI's code. Larger sites can be deployed, deployments happen faster, and they function more seamlessly even when custom domains are enabled.

Ensure you are using the latest version of the skuid CLI by following our installation instructions.

NLX performance improvements

We've continued to make improvements to our backend technologies on Skuid NLX for scaling, management, and efficiency. As this update rolls out to early access and production environments, you may notice improved performance in your sites.

Banners for early access environments

Skuid NLX early access environments now have a banner indicating that they are, indeed, early access!

We encourage all users to try out new features as soon as they can, as well as testing that their deployed applications work well with forthcoming features. These banners are intended to make it easier to spot the difference between early access and production environments—while also displaying pertinent information for support screenshots.

Beta features

Beta features represent valuable Skuid additions that we offer to cutting-edge builders for feedback before we mark them as generally available.

Pilot features

Pilot features are not yet intended for prime time production use, but they are available to select customers to gather feedback as we prepare them for a broader audience.

To request access to features listed below, contact product@skuid.com.

NLX Site Manager

AWS Marketplace customers can leverage the NLX Site Manager to organize their NLX sites, creating sites for development, testing, and production purposes.

Heads up!

skuid CLI versions older than 0.6 no longer supported

With the GA release of skuid CLI 0.6 during Edinburgh Update 1 last quarter, we published notice that older versions of the CLI would not be supported after Edinburgh Update 2's release.

That time has come. We encourage all CLI users to upgrade to a 0.6 release. Issues from older CLI versions will no longer be addressed.

In case you missed it

These useful features made their way into Skuid in recent releases before this update.

Improved image properties

As part of CORE-4470, we made improvements the Image component's properties, as well as related Image background properties of various container components (Page, Wrapper, Grid, etc)

• Improved help text for Model and Merge model properties

• The Alternative text property is always visible and supports merge syntax

• Default Image source is now "URL"

• Image source property:

  • Always shows the "URL" and “Attachment” options
  • NLX – Shows the "File" option
  • SFX – Shows the "Static Resource" option

• When "Attachment" is the Image source:

  • The "Model" property is shown and is required
  • The "Image field" property is shown

• Other streamlined properties:

  • Removed unnecessary Data source type, and Data source properties
  • Image URL supports merge syntax, and is only visible when the Image source is "URL"
  • Resource name is only visible when Image source is "Static resource"
  • File Path (within ZIP Static Resources) is only visible when Image source is "Static resource" and Resource name is a ZIP file
  • File name is only visible when Image source is "File"

Removed unneeded "Insert fields" button

In CORE-4732, we removed the extra "Insert fields" button since one now exists within the code editor when a related model is available

Set a custom amount of visible rows in multi-row components

Previously, you could only choose certain amounts of visible rows for Table, List, and Deck components. In CORE-4553 we added the ability to set a custom amount of visible row amounts.

This is particularly useful for Deck components, which could display a lot of empty space depending on the amount of rows shown.

Included tickets

v16.2.8.0

Fix v1->v2 migration issue where <span> HTML elements, particularly in v1 Queues, would cause "There was an error running the migration" errors—failing the migration itself. Now migrations complete as expected.

Ensure switch toggles can be toggled on/off using the keyboard (Selecting them with Tab and toggling them with Spacebar)

Fix issue where icon selectors were not displaying icons

Fix navigation item issue where "Sub-navigation item" carets would appear even though there were no sub-navigation items

Previously, deleting sub-navigation items in the Composer would not appropriately update the page XML. This resulted in "Sub-navigation item" carets appearing on these navigation items even though there were no longer sub-navigation items. This affected both top-level and sub-level navigation items.

Now, page XML is updated appropriately and navigation items do not show a caret unless there truly is a sub-item.

Fix Form column issue where "Align self" properties were not respected—resulting in columns that were always set to flex-start

Dependency upgrades

On Skuid NLX, adjust new "Site deactivated" screens to ensure consistent behavior across all environments when redeployed

The following tickets represent internal code changes made for future features.

APPS-2348 APPS-2350 CORE-4386 PLIN-4783 PLIN-5002

v16.2.7.0

Fix Edinburgh Update 2 on SFX runtime issue where sometimes icons would not render or would disappear when navigating back and forth between Lightning tabs

Fix issue where the some hover state style settings (border radius and background color) for Vertical Navigation items were not being applied correctly at runtime—despite previewing correctly in the Design System Studio

Fix Properties pane issue where, after setting its properties in the Advanced tab, focus would unexpectedly shift from the Text component's canvas input back to the Advanced tab properties after a short delay in typing

Fix Form field issue where the "Horizontal alignment" property was not respected for boolean fields in edit mode—defaulting to "Left" alignment instead

Ensure aria-label values for pagination buttons (page number, previous, next) contain properly updated alternative text and are available to accessibility tools

Ensure the "lang" HTML attribute applied to Skuid pages uses hyphens instead of underscores to specify the language subtag.

Previously these attributes would with underscores: "lang=en_US" Now they appear with hyphens: "lang=en-US"

Fix multipicklist issue where displayed values were not updated properly when picklist entries were changed

Adjust design system file format to fix issue where Skuid pages appeared blank in the Composer—which affected builders with large design system files

Ensure switch toggles can be toggled on/off using the keyboard (Selecting them with Tab and toggling them with Spacebar)

Dependency upgrades

The following tickets represent internal code changes made for future features.

APPS-2348, APPS-2349, APPS-2352, PLIN-5040

For SQL data sources, ensure selected SSL options persist across page refreshes, and that certificate information is properly erased when options are changed on-screen

Fix Calendar component issue where the view option picklist wasn't rebuilding after a Month or List view was deleted, preventing the creation of a new view. Also improve disabled entries logic to accurately display the selectable Month/List entries. Additionally, some future feature work.

Fix issue where the "Merge field" field picker, used for setting context conditions, would incorrectly point to the current component's model instead of the "parent" component's model—producing incorrect context conditions

Adjust Drawer chevron icon rendering so that it doesn't appear extra wide if the drawer contains a Table component

Fix Composer issue where horizontal scrolling was not possible in Tab Set components in the canvas

Fix design system issue where Spacing variables had a blank unit of measurement (instead of 'px' or 'rem' options)

Fix regression where fields displayed as buttons groups collapsed to minimum width instead of expanding to fill their given space

Fix regression where button groups—particularly for picklist fields displayed as button groups—failed to respect width specified for button variants in a given design system

Ensure "# of decimal places" property for Table summaries properly respects field metadata when "Use field metadata" is checked

Add "Copy to clipboard" and "Evaluate formula fields on model" actions

Fix date/time field validation behavior on mobile devices, which previously caused incorrect "Must match required format: [date]" errors

Fix issue where Carousel components with slides containing nested Carousels would display incorrect slide count numbering + reimplement ability to remove slides in manually sourced Carousels

Adjust Composer component rendering logic for internal testing

Fix Skuid NLX CLI issue where environment variables and site permission sets were unexpectedly retrieved when retrieved app-specific metadata.

Now this metadata is not retrieved when retrieving a specific app. Environment variables will be retrieved only if the specified app contains a data source utilizing an environment variable.

On Skuid NLX, fix issue where data source object permissions on app permission sets would not update based on deployed CLI metadata

On Skuid NLX, update maximum file size limit to account for larger deployments

For Skuid's backend services, ensure header and parameter values can be updated without re-specifying the value source

On Skuid NLX, update backend service responses to not display masked values (*****) when a property has no value on the backend

v16.2.5.0 - Edinburgh U2 GA release

On Skuid NLX when working with custom domains, provide UI feedback if DNS entry is removed after initial setup

On SQL data sources, ensure the permission summary at the top of the access control page displays proper access summary

Previously, some permission changes would not trigger an update, instead displaying "No access" even when access was granted. Now the summary properly updates to reflect granted permissions, particularly for "Full access" scenarios

Reserve Click interactions on Template-type fields for editing field values

Fix issue where using the Undo button in the Design System Studio would not update the previews of any affected components

Fix issue in Design System Studio where datepicker style variant previews do not show correct color for weekend days

Fix field picker issue where clicking the picker on child relationship template fields displayed fields from the parent model instead of the child relationship

Add actions for expanding/collapsing drawers in Tables and Lists and sections in Accordions and Filter Sets

Improvements to user experience of properties in the Image Component and in Image background properties of various container components (Page, Wrapper, Grid, etc)

• Improved help text for Model and Merge model properties
• The Alternative text property is always visible and supports merge syntax
• Default Image source is now “URL”
• Image source property:
  • Always shows the “URL” and “Attachment” options
  • NLX – Shows the “File” option
  • SFX – Shows the “Static Resource” option
• When “Attachment” is the Image source:
  • The “Model” property is shown and is required
  • The “Image field” property is shown
• Other streamlined properties:
  • Removed unnecessary Data source type, and Data source properties
  • Image URL supports merge syntax, and is only visible when the Image source is “URL”
  • Resource name is only visible when Image source is “Static resource”
  • File Path (within ZIP Static Resources) is only visible when Image source is “Static resource” andResource name is a ZIP file
  • File name is only visible when Image source is “File”

Changed the “Visible rows” property for Deck, Table, and List components to be a “type ahead control” to allow for custom numbers of items to display (e.g. show 12 Deck Cards in 3 rows of 4)

With Salesforce's beta release of Lightning Web Security (LWS) for Aura components, we found some errors would surface for our own Aura components (the Skuid Page and Skuid Page Assignment Lightning components). We've proactively updated our components so they will function as expected when LWS for Aura components reaches general availability on Salesforce.

Fix Composer preview issue where using certain URL parameters would not display queried results appropriately—particularly for RecordTypeId parameters on the Case object in Salesforce

Fix Composer issue where rearranging fields within Form and Table components would sometimes duplicate the fields instead of changing their location

Update {{startDate}}, {{endDate}}, and {{allDay}} merge variables to provide more consistent values in on-click and update event actions

For data sources using the "Client credentials" OAuth grant type, support sending specified scopes within network request headers

Ensure custom headers with "Sticky" property enabled are sticky in Aura contexts (Salesforce Lightning)

Previously the "Sticky" property for Skuid page headers would have no effect in Aura contexts, and the header would scroll out of view as the user navigated the page.

Now, an enabled "Sticky" property on a page header will cause it to remain affixed to the top of page area allowed by Lightning Experience.

Add "Copy to clipboard" and "Evaluate formula fields on model" actions

Add interaction functionality to all field types

For REST models, utilize the custom template request when making sample requests

Fix read with inline-edit mode picklist rendering issue in Safari

Previously when editing picklist fields set to "read with inline-edit" mode at runtime in Safari, clicking the dropdown to display picklist values would return the field to Read mode instead of displaying available picklist items. Now the picklist items appear as expected.

Internal build process improvements

Internal code improvements

Improvements for Skuid LWC functionality, particularly around URL handling and rendering certain UI elements

On Skuid SFX, create scaffolding and user-facing option for toggling Skuid LWC functionality, as well as internal refactoring of some Salesforce data source type code

Move component merge variables (like {{searchValue}}) out of beta

Fix issue where Skuid builders without "Customize application" could not update timestamps used for caching—requiring users manually clear their cache to see updates

Previously, Skuid stored certain timestamps in custom settings that could only be updated by those with the "Customize application" Salesforce permission.

While this is permission is commonly granted to Skuid builders, those without that permission would attempt to preview their changes and—since the timestamp had not been updated because they didn't have the proper permissions—their cache would not clear, and an older version of the page would appear. This resulted in some users being able to see the updated page, and other users needing to manually clear their cache to see the updated page.

Now, timestamps are handled so that even those without the "Customize application" permission can update them, properly clearing the cache for other users.

Fix regression where button groups could not be deleted—only buttons within them or the entire Button Set component

Fix regression where navigation item labels were not properly updated in the XML and did not render at runtime

In the Composer, remove extra "Insert fields" button since one now exists within the code editor when a related model is available

Visual defect in the Composer: The number of the condition is missing is condition type is “Viewport width” or “Snippet returns true.”

Ensure "false" boolean values appear properly when displayed checkbox-returning picklists outside of Edit mode

Fix Design System Studio issue where style variant preview of sliding panel would block the properties pane—preventing the user from making edits

Fix action sequences issue where model conditions were not used to populate field values for rows created later in a sequence

Fix issue where "Button Icon position" values were not appearing in the dropdown menu within the Properties pane

Fix inability to override Vertical Navigation item styles via JSS in the Design System Studio

Fix Wizard issue where step indicators would only appear when using buttons within the Wizard's attached button group

Previously step indicators would only render if at least one button within the Wizard's attached button group was configured. This prevented Wizard component utilizing custom step navigation buttons from displaying step indicators.

Now, step indicators appear as expected based on the number of available steps and whether or not the "Show step indicators" property is enabled.

On Skuid NLX, address issues with template properties within Text component's not properly saving empty-space content

Template fields in Forms missing the “Hide label” property

Fix bug where action sequence input values were not properly passed to "Show/hide menu" actions within the action sequence

Fix v1-v2 migration utility issue where "Run snippet" actions were erroneously turned into "Multi" type actions after conversion

Address a memory leak that can occur when editing large pages

Ensure that display logic condition numbering updates gracefully when conditions are removed

Text inside the Horizontal Alignment property for Forms was invisible

Fix Table issue where fields marked as read-only on the component would become editable after saving the Table’s model

Reference Field Filter Conditions are no longer filtering related records in Field components

Fix Form reference field issue, where the Form's field would remain blank even after selecting a value in certain scenarios.

This issue occurred in scenarios where the Form was dealing with a newly created record, typically in a previous Wizard step, and the Form was displayed in Edit mode. After selecting a new value, the Form would not update properly to display the selected field—even though the data had been updated.

Now, the Form field displays updates as expected.

Unnecessary horizontal scrollbar in the middle section of the Design System Studio

X Axis on Bubble charts is ignoring the minimum range value

In design systems based on the Lightning design system, prevent unwanted scrollbars on Table fields in edit mode

Unnecessary required value error for From fields Unique ID properties in the Composer

“No fields are marked as filterable for search” error sometimes encountered on SQL models

Adjust metadata retrieval for Salesforce content document features to address “Access to entity denied” errors

Show/Hide component action breaks the page when it references a component that does not exist

V2 Table Filter based on a Salesforce Dependent Picklist shows no values

Incorporate additional aggregate model logic to better ensure date field values returned from Salesforce are evaluated as the correct data type, even when metadata caching is disabled

Wrapper with height strategy "Fit to content" shows scrollbar if it contains a Deck component with a hidden footer

Error loading the Vertical Navigation component when source is “Salesforce tabs for current app”

Fix Composer issue that prevented more than 1 model from being added to a page

Adjust Accordion icon display behavior

Fix pagination label issue that caused "Infinity rows" to display instead of "All rows"

Fix bug where errors occurring inside modals were displayed behind those modals when they were part of an included page—even when the modal’s “Display errors” property indicated errors should appear in the modal. Now errors appear where expected.

Ensure certain container components that have nested items have two of those items by default (Carousel, Tab Container, Tab Set)

Internal refactoring of component code

Fix Composer bug where components could not be added to page regions within dependent pages

Improve performance by adjusting "global" event subscriptions to use a new page-level API (instead of window or document scope) that intelligently unsubscribes unneeded event subscriptions

Within Forms in read with inline-edit mode, activate the field's Edit icon hover state not only when users hover directly over that icon, but when they hover over any part of the field

Fix issue where Geochart components would appear not to reflect model changes, sometimes rendering before model load operations completed

Improve Composer performance for large pages, particularly by adjusting page index logic

Fix issue where buttons couldn’t be deleted in the Composer once more than one existed in a button group unless the Composer was refreshed

Fix issue where the Tab Container component would switch between tab and accordion views at unexpected breakpoints when the browser window was resized

Ensure initial sections on Accordion components are assigned a unique Id

Fix "problem initializing component" error that appeared when attempting to create an event in the Calendar component on mobile devices

Fix EU2 regression where the implied context condition of Id = Id was no longer applied and had to be manually specified, causing unexpected results in context-driven components like Decks

Ensure existing Lightning preview methods continue to function with LWC enabled

Ensure style variant conditions update the visual appearance of components

Previously style variant conditions would sometimes not properly update the styling of components, particularly when changing values in edit mode. This fix adjusts conditional class assignment, ensuring variants are better applied when expected

Ensure that internal methods used to reparent nested components properly clean up and remove the reparented component from the previous parent

Ensure v2 components properly listen for user time zone changes

Previously custom time zone handling through snippets would not propagate as expected in v2 components—particularly the Calendar. For users migrating from v1, this meant snippets were no longer working on otherwise-identical v2 pages.

Now we've improved how the user's current time zone is retrieved and the event subscription logic used by components to ensure these changes are accounted for at runtime

On Skuid SFX, cache the chosen Lightning render mode (Aura or LWC) for improved load times

On Skuid SFX, ensure LWC feature labels can be found when Skuid is installed as managed package

Streamlined single sign-on setup

(NLX only)

As part of this alliterative update, we've taken a look at how to make setting up single sign-on (SSO) on an NLX site faster so you can spend more time building apps and less time worrying how to authenticate your users.

• We now display Skuid's Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL and Service Provider Entity ID values when you begin setup. No more placeholder values in one place or the other, just copy, paste, go.
• We've updated our identity provider connection detail screens, better grouping related information and streamlining the page for easier maintenance.

New label properties for Forms

• Label position: Previously field labels could appear on top of fields or to the left through a Form component property, but checkbox inputs commonly need their labels on the right side—like when adjusting preferences or checking the ever-present "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions."

With this new property, you can incorporate this common UI practice into your apps. Label position can be set to above the field or to the right of it. Available on Checkbox and Switch field types.

• Hide label: This property allows field labels to be totally hidden from the user interface while still being available to screen reader technologies.

skuid CLI 0.6 is GA!

(NLX feature with SFX impact)

skuid CLI—the command line interface for retrieving and deploying Skuid NLX metadata—is seeing some notable changes in its 0.6 release, which is now generally available.

You can use these features using the latest 0.6 release of skuid CLI:

• --since flag: This flag allows you to retrieve only the metadata that's been modified since a certain timestamp. That means you retrieve only what you've recently updated for sandbox-to-production deployments, which means your apps get deployed faster.

  # Retrieve metadata updated since May 22nd, 2023skuid retrieve --since "2023-05-22"

• --ignore-skuid-db flag: There are special constraints for working with Skuid Database in skuid CLI: skuid CLI won't redeploy existing databases to avoid overwriting schema, and it won't deploy more databases than a site's allotted limit.

  While these safeguards can stop problematic deployments, most deployments do not rely on Skuid Database metadata. Using --ignore-skuid-db allows deployments to proceed, acknowledging that skuid CLI can ignore Skuid Database for the current deployment.

  skuid deploy --ignore-skuid-db

• Improved logging and error handling, with options for more details and outputting logs to files

• No longer compatible with SFX: The skuid CLI now focuses on Skuid NLX environments, and previous Salesforce-related commands are no longer supported.

  For Skuid SFX, use our skuid-sfdx plugin for Salesforce's command line interface.

• Increased stability

Heads up!skuid CLI versions prior to 0.6.x will not be supported after Edinburgh Update 2 later this year. This will allow us to focus on further enhancements and optimizations both for the CLI and NLX's backend.

Beta features

Custom domains improvements

(NLX only)

Adding a custom domain reinforces your branding and makes your Skuid site easier to navigate to. We've been making refinements during its beta period and are releasing several user experience enhancements in Edinburgh Update 1.

To utilize our custom domain features while they are in beta, contact product@skuid.com

Other updates

Heads Up! Internet Explorer 11 is no longer supported

We're officially concluding support for Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) in Edinburgh Update 1, even at runtime. This allows us to continue to improve Skuid's UI toolkit with modern web platform enhancements, but we can no longer guarantee Skuid will work as expected during build time or runtime for IE11.

With the conclusion of official support for IE11, we encourage all builders—and their users—to upgrade to a modern browser for continued Skuid functionality.

This issue occurred in scenarios where the Form was dealing with a newly created record, typically in a previous Wizard step, and the Form was displayed in Edit mode. After selecting a new value, the Form would not update properly to display the selected field—even though the data had been updated.

Now, the Form field displays updates as expected.

Ensure custom headers with "Sticky" property enabled are sticky in Aura contexts (Salesforce Lightning)

Previously the "Sticky" property for Skuid page headers would have no effect in Aura contexts, and the header would scroll out of view as the user navigated the page.

Now, an enabled "Sticky" property on a page header will cause it to remain affixed to the top of page area allowed by Lightning Experience.

Fix issue where using the Undo button in the Design System Studio would not update the previews of any affected components

Fix issue in Design System Studio where datepicker style variant previews do not show correct color for weekend days

Responsive Grid vertical alignment improvements for "fit to content" + minimum heights

Previously, Responsive Grids set to have vertical alignment, with a minimum height, and the "Fit to content" height strategy would only consider the contents of the divisions—instead of the full minimum height of the component—when determining vertical alignment.

Now, Responsive Grids properly consider the minimum height when applying vertical alignment to their divisions.

Improve rendering speed for Deck components, particularly for high record counts

In v16.0.3 this ticket also represents work to adjust how Skuid handles HTML encoding, which has effects particularly in Text components.

Fix issue where Go to URL actions in a Chart series would not accept some Chart context-related merge variables

Fix issue where mass actions displayed as menus or comboboxes were always deactivated

Fix issue where reference fields were not properly to showing updates in edit mode—even when models were refreshed and contained accurate data

Fix Chart bug where context was not properly set after drilling down, returning to the main chart, and then drilling down into a new value

Clicking into a Chart component segment sets the context, which can be used to display filtered drilldown information. Before this fix, returning to the main chart and then drilling down into another value would not properly set the context—instead using the previous drilldown’s values. With this fix, drilldowns work as expected.

On Skuid SFX, fix issue where users without Skuid licenses were not being redirected to standard Salesforce

Fix issue where having one denied data source would prevent any permitted data sources from querying. Now permitted data sources can query, even if an unpermitted one is used within a page.

Internal codebase improvements

Fix Edinburgh early access issue where “Required” validations would sometimes run incorrectly if users pressed the Tab key to proceed to the next field

Add Calendar component merge variable functionality to event on-click actions and event update actions

Adjust Calendar component behavior to query for additional events within the selected time frame

Previously, model record query limits could unexpectedly cause a Calendar sourcing its events from that model to not display all the event records for a given time frame.

To continue allowing for record limits while also not leaving end users confused about why certain events would not appear, the Calendar component now intelligently queries for records until all events within selected time frame are displayed.

Fix bug where the Calendar component’s "+n more" view modal displayed the previous date

Fix issue where Calendar components were not providing actions for “Run component action” picklist

On Skuid SFX, fix issue where tooltip text wouldn't fade on pages deployed in Lightning with the Skuid Page Lightning component

Fix issue where the Composer would not recognize setting a previously-configured margin property back to "None" as a change, meaning it was not possible to save the page unless another change was made. Now the Composer recognizes the change, and enables the Save button, as expected.

Add “Label placement” property to fields displayed as switches or checkboxes, allowing for labels to display to the right of these inputs

Add “Hide label” property for Form fields

Fix Table field issue where "Required" checkbox was not a visible property in the Composer

On Skuid SFX in Lightning experience, fix lookup filters for polymorphic fields (e.g. OwnerId on the Case object)

Previously when selecting a value for a polymorphic reference field, an error stating a field doesn't exist would appear—even with properly configured lookup filters. This fix ensures that reference field works as expected.

With Salesforce's beta release of Lightning Web Security (LWS) for Aura components, we found some errors would surface for our own Aura components (the Skuid Page and Skuid Page Assignment Lightning components). We've proactively updated our components so they will function as expected when LWS for Aura components reaches general availability on Salesforce.

Internal improvements for future features

Fix issue where mass action buttons would unexpectedly remain enabled after running—even when no rows were selected

Fix issue where "required" validations were incorrectly running on optional picklist fields

Fix Composer preview issue where using certain URL parameters would not display queried results appropriately—particularly for RecordTypeId parameters on the Case object in Salesforce

Internal build process improvements

Adjust internal sharing rules for Skuid custom objects for dev/QA purposes

Internal codebase improvements

Fix issue where included page model conditions would ignore Page Include query parameters for identically named parameters in the container page

With an included page and a container page, if the container page has a URL parameter that shares the same name as a Page Include query string parameter, the Page Include's query string would win out—since it more specifically applied to the included page's use.

However a bug appeared where model conditions would ignore the identically named Page Include query parameter and use the value of the container page's parameter instead.

This fix returns the model condition behavior to the previous expected process—where Page Include query strings win out even when identically named.

On the Search component, fix issue where the field picker for setting Return Objects would not function

Fix where builders previously could not disable the "Skip entry criteria" property for existing "Submit for Approval" Salesforce data source actions. Now builders can enable/disable this property as expected.

Adjust appearance of Search component in the Composer canvas to more accurately reflect its runtime appearance

Set “Sanitize field values” property to default off for Table components

Fix issue where Responsive Grid components would not reflect layout property changes within the canvas

Fix Design System Studio display issue when using JSS to extend variants with code

Fix bug where iterating over an empty REST data array using merge syntax displays "[object][Object]" instead of nothing

Fix rendering issue for updated reference fields for PostgreSQL.

Previously, selecting a reference field value in a component attached to a PostgreSQL model would “blank out” the field, even though the value was updated. Now, reference fields update and render as expected.

Internal test fixes

Fix issue where clicking outside of sliding panels triggered by Table row actions would not close them

In the v2 Page API Migration Utility, fix component targeting behavior

Fix Carousel issue where nested components were not properly displaying UI-only model data

Fix issue for donut-style Chart components where merge variables were not displaying properly without other content

Previously, when merge variables were the only value for a donut-style Chart component’s content template, no value would be displayed. The workaround was to use some empty space character, which would then cause the value to display as expected. Now, workarounds are not needed and merge variables display as expected, even if they are the only value in the template.

In Page Include components, improve merge variable handling for URL parameters—ensuring that using the "Load new page" action will properly update the Page Include even if the only change is a URL parameter value from a merge variable

Internal code utility method improvements

Internal code improvements

Fix issue where running the "Navigate to Step" component action would display all Wizard steps on the page instead of the steps for the chosen Wizard. Now, only the expected steps appear.

Fix issue where Autocomplete filters using model rows as options would not properly filter results based on user input

Ensure context is properly handled when updating a Page Include with the "Load new page" component action

Fix read with inline-edit mode picklist rendering issue in Safari

Previously when editing picklist fields set to "read with inline-edit" mode at runtime in Safari, clicking the dropdown to display picklist values would return the field to Read mode instead of displaying available picklist items. Now the picklist items appear as expected.

Fix issue where "Button Icon position" values were not appearing in the dropdown menu within the Properties pane

Fix inability to override Vertical Navigation item styles via JSS in the Design System Studio

Fix Wizard issue where step indicators would only appear when using buttons within the Wizard's attached button group

Previously step indicators would only render if at least one button within the Wizard's attached button group was configured. This prevented Wizard component utilizing custom step navigation buttons from displaying step indicators.

Now, step indicators appear as expected based on the number of available steps and whether or not the "Show step indicators" property is enabled.

The following tickets represent internal code changes made for future features.

APPS-2162, CORE-3496, CORE-3583, CORE-3588, CORE-3594, CORE-3630, CORE-3633, CORE-3682, CORE-3702, CORE-3724, CORE-3849, CORE-3856, CORE-4373, CORE-4411, CORE-4413, CORE-4468, CORE-4483, CORE-4492, CORE-4497, CORE-4499, CORE-4501, CORE-4516, CORE-4518, CORE-4520, CORE-4522, CORE-4524, CORE-4530, CORE-4531, CORE-4540, CORE-4589, CORE-4625, CORE-4629, CORE-4647, CORE-4662, CORE-4665, CORE-4671, CORE-4672, CORE-4709, CORE-4710, CORE-4712, CORE-4721, CORE-4722, CORE-4751, CORE-4753, PLIN-4420

Major features

• Client-side validation additions:

  • Validate based on length as defined in the field's metadata: Now, you can display a specific runtime error when users exceed the maximum number of allowed characters. This is determined by the data source orfield metadata overrides.

  • Set custom error messages for required fields. Whether or not a field is required is defined by metadata (the data source itself requires the field) or by Skuid's own Required model field property.

    Previously, these required fields were not as configurable, displaying a standard error message when fields were left blank. With this new feature, you can set custom messages that better guide your users.

• Calendar component enhancements

  • Improved handling of Unassigned groups: The grouping feature on Skuid's Calendar component allows for views to be divided based on a field value from an event source. If that field did not have a value, the event would display in the Unassigned category.

    Previously this category was always visible and not configurable. But in Edinburgh it's possible to both relabel this category and to select how (always, never, if values exist) where it should be shown (top, bottom, or alphabetically)

  • Runtime improvements: We also made a variety of improvements to the component in Dubai Update 2 and Dubai Update 3. In case you missed them:

    • Improved time zone handling:

      • Clicking "+n more events" on a day previously would sometimes display the previous day's events

      • Expanding single date events (like tasks) which should not be able to expand/contract

      • Event creation showing an error in the modal even though it was successful before closing the modal

      • Save button disabled state when creating/editing an event in the modal

      • Single date event sources should now always render on the same date no matter the timezone/locale

      • Start/end date should now always render on the same date no matter the timezone/locale

      • Start/end datetime should adapt to the org locale setting as expected

      • Start/end datetime should render based on timezone properly for users at runtime.

        As an example: In America/New_York an event is created for 11am. In Australia/Sydney it should be represented at 3am the next day.

    • {{startDate}} and {{endDate}} now provide date values instead of datetime (which are available through startDateTime and endDateTime)

    • "View more events" buttons now work in Salesforce Lightning

    • Calendar day view now better scales to the page and properly displays hourly divisions

• Use Apex to provide authentication values in data sources: (SFX only) Apex, Salesforce's server-side programming language, can now be used to return values used in authentication requests from Skuid's proxy.

  For instance, some authentication tokens may be longer than 256 characters or saved in a different secret store than Skuid. With this feature, you can write an Apex class that retrieves and returns these values as a string and use it with the $Apex merge variable.

• Sanitize fields values for CSV export on Table component: When exporting data it's often best to sanitize field values of characters that, when imported to another program, can cause unintended consequences. These are often characters that activate logic or formula functions. Some instances are accidental, some are malicious, and this feature helps better protect users when it occurs.

  While this feature has previously been available on Skuid Database, with Edinburgh we've added the ability to sanitize field values to all Table components on both Skuid NLX and Skuid SFX.

Released in beta

Beta features represent valuable Skuid additions that we offer to cutting-edge builders for feedback before we mark them as generally available.

• SSO user provisioning enhancements: (NLX only) Single sign-on (SSO) has been possible through the SAML protocol on Skuid NLX, but Edinburgh brings feature enhancements to Skuid NLX's single sign-on (SSO) user provisioning features:

  • It's now possible to have a user's Skuid attributes (like email or locale) update based on the user's SAML attributes from your identity provider.
  • Automatically reactivate previously deactivated Skuid users if they login from an IdP. This is useful particularly for subscription management, ensuring you can safely deactivate users without accidentally locking out your active Skuid users.

• Skuid Database schema import/export with skuid CLI: (NLX only) It's now possible to retrieve and deploy Skuid Database schema, or metadata structure, from one Skuid site to another— or redeploy it the current environment if needed.

  This is used to move the structure of a Skuid Database from one environment (like a sandbox site) to another (like a production site).

  While it's not very common to have the same data within a sandbox and production site, it's possible to use this feature in tandem with the CSV Export/Import feature of Skuid Database to move both the schema and data from one Skuid site to another.

Released in pilot

Pilot features are not yet intended for prime time production use, but they are available to select customers to gather feedback as we prepare them for a broader audience.

To request access to features listed below, contact product@skuid.com.

• Custom domains: (NLX only) This long-requested branding feature is being released in pilot for Edinburgh. With this it's possible to have your Skuid NLX site listed entirely under your own web domain. If your goal is to provide a public portal for your Skuid implementation or private label your Skuid apps, try using custom domains to reinforce your brand.

• Session variables: (NLX only) In single sign-on use cases, it's not uncommon to store more detailed user information in the identity provider and then pass that information along to service providers as SAML Attributes. These attributes can now be mapped to session variables to be used in Skuid applications, primarily for data source object conditions on SQL data sources.

  Note: 

  Session variables are only accessible during a user session to avoid any security concerns surrounding storing SAML attributes.

Other updates

• Apply margin to all sides of a component: Previously builders had to set margins for components for each side individually. With this update, it's now possible to set a consistent margin value for all sides at once.
• On the Table component, global actions now have enable conditions and style variant conditions.
• Continued improvements to our backend technologies on Skuid NLX for scaling, management, and performance
• On Skuid SFX, we've updated property labels and default values related to Salesforce Classic header and sidebar:
  • "Show salesforce header" is now "Show Salesforce Classic header"
  • "Show salesforce sidebar" is now "Show Salesforce Classic sidebar"
  • Both properties are now unchecked by default
• In Skuid NLX, we now display a count of both active and inactive users for app permission sets and indicate which users are inactive from a permission set's detail screen. We've also improved dependency checks related to permission sets and users.

Breaking changes

As of 16.0.3, <script> tags are no longer executed from within Text components containing HTML. This was never a supported behavior, and it will now no longer occur.

For proper snippet execution, all JavaScript must be stored in a supported resource type. Snippets can be triggered using Skuid's event subscription framework or by using the Action Framework.

Skuid can now perform searches on case-sensitive columns names on PostgreSQL data sources

Previously, Skuid would search on Postgres columns passing in unquoted columns—which meant column names were always assumed by Postgres to be lower case. In practice, this meant searches on columns that used uppercase letters would not work, since they were being seen as lowercase by PostgreSQL:

Quoting an identifier also makes it case-sensitive, whereas unquoted names are always folded to lower case. For example, the identifiers FOO, foo, and "foo" are considered the same by PostgreSQL, but "Foo" and "FOO" are different from these three and each other.

— PostgreSQL docs, 4.1.1. Identifiers and Key Words

Now, Skuid wraps column names in double quotes (") to ensure case-sensitivity is respected.

16.0.3.0

Internal administration tool improvements

Internal administration tool improvements

Add ability to unpack page packs when no other pages exist in the Skuid environment

Prevent invalid values in reference fields

Responsive Grid vertical alignment improvements for "fit to content" + minimum heights

Previously, Responsive Grids set to have vertical alignment, with a minimum height, and the "Fit to content" height strategy would only consider the contents of the divisions—instead of the full minimum height of the component—when determining vertical alignment.

Now, Responsive Grids properly consider the minimum height when applying vertical alignment to their divisions.

Improve rendering speed for Deck components, particularly for high record counts

Fix issue where the Composer would not recognize setting a previously-configured margin property back to "None" as a change, meaning it was not possible to save the page unless another change was made. Now the Composer recognizes the change, and enables the Save button, as expected.

Fix issue where mass action buttons would unexpectedly remain enabled after running—even when no rows were selected

On the Search component, fix issue where the field picker for setting Return Objects would not function

Fix where builders previously could not disable the "Skip entry criteria" property for existing "Submit for Approval" Salesforce data source actions. Now builders can enable/disable this property as expected.

Set “Sanitize field values” property to default off for Table components

Fix rendering issue for updated reference fields for PostgreSQL.

Previously, selecting a reference field value in a component attached to a PostgreSQL model would “blank out” the field, even though the value was updated. Now, reference fields update and render as expected.

Update “Spacing” label to “Margins,” and allow margin spacing values to be applied to all sides—or set individually

On Skuid SFX, update property labels and default values related to Salesforce header and sidebar:

• "Show salesforce header" is now "Show Salesforce Classic header"
• "Show salesforce sidebar" "Show Salesforce Classic sidebar"
• Both properties are now unchecked by default

Fix issue where dragging a button from a Button Set component into a Wizard component would result in the button appearing in both components—even though it was removed from the original Button Set component

Fix Composer issue where interacting with a filter in the canvas—but not making changes to that filter—would sometimes cause the Save button to enable as if there were changes to the page

Improve condition detection on models used as inputs within action sequences

Previously, when using a model as input for an action sequence, invoking that action sequence and trying to select a model condition to update would display inaccurate condition options. While this was not universal, this change ensures more accurate condition options appear when invoking an action sequence that updates an input model’s conditions.

Improve scrolling behaviors for the Page Index when there are deeply nested components

Fix issue in Calendar component's Week view where setting the end time to 12AM causes the component to freeze with JavaScript errors

Allows open/close drawer action to work regardless of visibility of drawer icons, as it previously would fail if “Show drawer icon” was disabled

Fix issue where Go to URL actions in a Chart series would not accept some Chart context-related merge variables

Add visibility options for Calendar component’s “Unassigned” grouping

Add ability to refresh style variants from the Style variants conditions tab

Fix issue where URL parameters for boolean values would cause page previews from the Composer to fail

Fix bug where dragging components from the canvas into a later Wizard step sends the canvas back to step 1

For reference fields on UI-only models in v1 and v2, fix issue where the field picker modal only displayed the selected field instead of the expected fields available on the referenced object

Fix issue where "Update all" button for design systems does not complete updates in Dubai Update 3

Fix runtime errors for Tables with Sort Builder enabled

In Skuid SFX on the Calendar component, fix issue where "View more events" in Month view does not work in Lightning

Internal improvements to Composer initialization

Ensure that models initialized with existing data (like data from another model) properly set the recordId attribute

On Skuid SFX, remove unnecessary permissioning syntax from Skuid permissions sets

Better timezone handling in the Calendar component, addressing experience issues around the following:

• Clicking "+n more events" on a day previously would sometimes display the previous day's events
• Expanding single date events (like tasks) which should not be able to expand/contract
• Event creation showing an error in the modal even though it was successful before closing the modal
• Save button disabled state when creating/editing an event in the modal
• Single date event sources should now always render on the same date no matter the timezone/locale
• Start/end date should now always render on the same date no matter the timezone/locale
• Start/end datetime should adapt to the org locale setting as expected

* Start/end datetime should render based on timezone properly for users at runtime. As an example: In America/New_York an event is created for 11am. In Australia/Sydney it should be represented at 3am the next day.

Internal improvements to Page Index functionality

Ensure Filter Set data range label has appropriate spacing in comparison to other labels within the component

Internal tooling updates

Fix issue in Design Systems screen where Update All button would fail with a “Visualforce Remoting Exception” error when updating batches of design systems that are larger in file size

Fix Chart bug where context was not properly set after drilling down, returning to the main chart, and then drilling down into a new value

Clicking into a Chart component segment sets the context, which can be used to display filtered drilldown information. Before this fix, returning to the main chart and then drilling down into another value would not properly set the context—instead using the previous drilldown’s values. With this fix, drilldowns work as expected.

Feature updates

Action sequences: Streamlined and enhanced

Action sequences provide a centralized place to create lists of actions in your Skuid page. Previously, there were three separate types: reusable, event-triggered, and hotkey-triggered. But what if you've drafted the perfect event-triggered sequence—only to realize you need it activated by a hotkey as well? Have you ever needed to duplicate your reusable sequence used on multiple buttons in order to also make it responsive to events? And what's with all these types to keep up with?

No longer! With EU3, all action sequences can be triggered however you want. Each sequence is now reusable, as well as event and hotkey triggerable by adjusting settings within the newly added Event and Hotkey tabs.

"But what about my old action sequences?" Don't worry! Everything has migrated to this new format. Your event-triggered sequences appear as normal sequences with the Events tab populated appropriately, with hotkey-triggered sequences receiving the same treatment.

This is just a hint of the kind of enhancements coming in our new Composer, but more on that in our Pilot features section…

Simpler design system files, better for source control

Source control helps organizations facilitate change management, while keeping a record of how assets and metadata have changed over time. While much of Skuid's metadata (which can be retrieved via our CLI tools) is in plain text and source control-friendly, design systems haven't been.

With EU3, we're changing the way design system assets are formed when retrieved via the CLI—allowing them to more easily be stored and diffed in your source control system of choice. Previously design systems were returned as ZIP files, with additional boilerplate and metadata that made source control for these files difficult.

Now, design systems are returned as JSON files with only the necessary information stored within it in a consistent order. You can expect much smaller files (around 5k lines shorter in some test cases) and easier diffing because of the deterministic nature.

HTML support for more labels and titles

Skuid components are the building blocks of your Skuid pages, but HTML elements are the building blocks of the web—and they offer a lot of customization options you may need for more advanced styling needs. We've steadily increased the component areas where HTML can be used in Skuid, and with this release we're opening up even more.

API key authentication method

Many products handle authentication through API keys, which they expect to be passed along in each request to service endpoints. While it’s been possible to access these services in Skuid through its Common request headers or Common request body data, doing so meant potentially exposing your API key to end users who were savvy enough to look at their network traffic.

Worry no longer about those network request sleuths, our newAPI key authentication methodallows you to store encrypted API keys and securely inject them into requests server-side—meaning end users never see those credentials.

Pilot features

Pilot features are not yet intended for prime time production use, but they are available to select customers to gather feedback as we prepare them for a broader audience.

To request access to features listed below, contact earlyaccess@skuid.com.

Chat component

There haven't been any transformational technological advancements related to artificial intelligence in the last year, right? No large, language-related models to make Skuid models of? New ways to use natural speech to produce new workflows and content?

Well just in case there have been, we're working on a Chat component that enables you to connect to your chosen AI language model of choice. Additionally you can use it for old-fashioned, human-to-human communication as well, like Salesforce's Chatter functionality.

REST Data Source Console and actions

We've been overhauling how builders can build and test their REST data sources. With EU3, we're ready to launch a closed pilot for this new experience.

With these REST data source enhancements, you can look forward to:

• REST Data Source Console: A centralized workspace to manage requests and objects in the data source—no more replicating endpoints on each and every page
• REST data source actions: The addition of data source actions allows you to trigger server logic with Skuid actions in mind. This feature replaces the need for one-off GET or POST actions on your Skuid models, and incorporates your work into Skuid's Action Framework

This experience is under heavy development, and we look forward to your feedback.

New Composer

Drum roll please: There's a new Composer coming! But this is no mere visual refresh—though we think it looks fresher too. Some major ideas we're developing in this experience include:

• More visual development with enhanced canvas rendering: Skuid's a powerful tool for the citizen developer and the code-wrangling pro, but we want the new Composer to more closely reflect what you're building without constantly refreshing page previews. Look forward to live style updates and other canvas rendering options
• Vertical layout: We'll be moving the Elements and Properties pane to the sides of the Composer, allowing for more vertical canvas space—alongside other sizing changes so the most important elements are highlighted while non-essential elements stay out of the way.
• Redesigned index: The index is the wayfinder of your Skuid page, and we've adjusted its capabilities to allow for faster drag-and-drop page creation and navigation.
• Consolidation, centralization, and bi-directionality: Skuid pages have a lot of moving parts, and they all depend on each other. Models connected to components, which trigger actions, but only when they render because all their display logic rules are true… It can be a lot to handle—and a lot to navigate.

With the new Composer experience, we're offering more wayfinding tools and more links between common areas. Go from a component to its model's properties instantly, see everywhere an action is used, and more.

We've also got a lot of modularity and reusability improvements to come for your page logic. What exactly, you may ask? Join the pilot to find out!

This new Composer experience represents a major paradigm shift in Skuid development, and we want your help in making it the best it can be.Contact us to join the closed pilot phase!

Heads up!

Vertical top-level navigation works now, but you may see differences

Previously, Vertical top-level navigation stylingproperties were not properly applied to the uppermost navigation items. With this change, these properties are now properly applied.

You may see a difference in how your Navigation components render. If so, verify the proper settings are applied in the Vertical top-level navigation properties as well as the Top level navigation item section of the Vertical Navigation component's style variants.

Fix Pages list issue where the Preview option would cause errors when pages required parameters—not opening the modal for setting those parameters and ultimately not previewing the page

PLIN-5090

Fix NLX issue where search bars would collapse into the page's filters on data source, app, page, and design system admin pages

CORE-5040

Fix navigation item issue where "Sub-navigation item" carets would appear even though there were no sub-navigation items

Previously, deleting sub-navigation items in the Composer would not appropriately update the page XML. This resulted in "Sub-navigation item" carets appearing on these navigation items even though there were no longer sub-navigation items. This affected both top-level and sub-level navigation items.

Now, page XML is updated appropriately and navigation items do not show a caret unless there truly is a sub-item.

CORE-4918

Fix issue where the "Merge field" field picker, used for setting context conditions, would incorrectly point to the current component's model instead of the "parent" component's model—producing incorrect context conditions

CORE-4870

Fix issue where Responsive Grids with a main axis of "Column" would display at unexpected heights at runtime due to incorrect CSS

CORE-5049

Fix issue where newly added actions appear to remain as "Save model" actions, even when set to other action types. While only a label issue, and navigating away and back to an action list would resolve the issue, this misleading action list rendering behavior has been corrected.

CORE-4919

Fix "problem initializing component" error that appeared when attempting to create an event in the Calendar component on mobile devices

CORE-4938

Ensure v2 components properly listen for user time zone changes

Previously custom time zone handling through snippets would not propagate as expected in v2 components—particularly the Calendar. For users migrating from v1, this meant snippets were no longer working on otherwise-identical v2 pages.

Now we've improved how the user's current time zone is retrieved and the event subscription logic used by components to ensure these changes are accounted for at runtime

CORE-5005

Ensure the "lang" HTML attribute applied to Skuid pages uses hyphens instead of underscores to specify the language subtag.

Previously these attributes would with underscores: "lang=en_US" Now they appear with hyphens: "lang=en-US"

CORE-5024

Ensure switch toggles can be toggled on/off using the keyboard (Selecting them with Tab and toggling them with Spacebar)

Feature updates

Several Skuid NLX beta features are now generally available!

Custom domains

Custom domains, previously released as a beta feature, allow your Skuid site to be accessible from any domain name you own. We've been hard at work incorporating user feedback, and this feature has graduated to generally available

Contact your Skuid representative to use this feature.

Single sign-on (SSO) enhancements

SSO has been possible through the SAML protocol on Skuid NLX, and several feature enhancements to Skuid NLX's SSO user provisioning features are now GA:

• Update a user's Skuid attributes (like email or locale) based on the user's SAML attributes from your identity provider.
• Automatically reactivate previously deactivated Skuid users if they login from an IdP. This is useful particularly for subscription management, ensuring you can safely deactivate users without accidentally locking out your active Skuid users.

Session variables

In SSO use cases, it's not uncommon to store more detailed user information in the identity provider and then pass that information along to service providers as SAML Attributes. These attributes can now be mapped to session variables to be used in Skuid applications, primarily for data source object conditions on SQL data sources. But we've also implemented improvements to use these variables in:

• Render conditions
• Model conditions
• Merge expressions through the $Session global merge variable

Interactions support for all field types

Interactions allow certain lists of actions to run based on how the end user interacts with an element.

Previously, interactions could be set on various components—like Decks and Images—but only on template fields in Form and Table components. Now, this Action Framework feature can be applied to all field types.

New Action Framework actions

Expand/collapse drawers and sections with actions

Several Skuid components feature expandable/collapsible portions that respond to end user clicks. Drawers appear in Table and List components as context containers for rows—allowing additional details to be described in components within those drawers. Similarly, Accordion components allow for segmenting a page's elements into easily discoverable sections, which users can freely open and close. These drawers and sections appear in other components as well—including Lists and Filter Sets.

Previously, it was not possible to expand and collapse these UI elements without hacky workarounds. It's not uncommon to require one part of the page to expand in reaction to a user's actions elsewhere—or to collapse a section of the page when the user's completed all necessary actions within it.

With Edinburgh Update 2, we've incorporated more builder control over these expandable/collapsible drawers and sections through the Run component action.

For more information on individual component actions:

• Accordion
• Filter Set
• List
• Table

Copy to clipboard

It's a common UI paradigm to allow users to copy text with the click of a button—perhaps a link, email address, or a templated piece of text. Skuid builders have built clever JavaScript solutions, but code no more!

With the Copy text to clipboard action, you can send specific strings or field data (using merge syntax) to the user's clipboard.

Evaluate formula fields on model

Formulas are a powerful part of Skuid's toolkit, and many UIs use formula fields alongside data fields. To have more tailored control and ensure formula fields remain in sync with actions elsewhere on the page, the Evaluate formula fields on model action can be used to reevaluate formulas on a specific row, any rows in context, or all rows in the model.

Skuid NLX now available through the AWS Marketplace

Skuid NLX, our complete app development web platform, can now be acquired through the AWS Marketplace. This integration expands our free trial capabilities and allows your company to use the NLX Site Manager to organize and create sites for your organizations.

If you're commonly building with AWS products and haven't tried Skuid yet, check out our AWS Marketplace listing!

CLI and deployment improvements

We've fixed various issues and made several general improvements to our CLI experience for Skuid NLX—both in our backend services and the CLI's code. Larger sites can be deployed, deployments happen faster, and they function more seamlessly even when custom domains are enabled.

Ensure you are using the latest version of the skuid CLI by following our installation instructions.

NLX performance improvements

We've continued to make improvements to our backend technologies on Skuid NLX for scaling, management, and efficiency. As this update rolls out to early access and production environments, you may notice improved performance in your sites.

Banners for early access environments

Skuid NLX early access environments now have a banner indicating that they are, indeed, early access!

We encourage all users to try out new features as soon as they can, as well as testing that their deployed applications work well with forthcoming features. These banners are intended to make it easier to spot the difference between early access and production environments—while also displaying pertinent information for support screenshots.

Beta features

Beta features represent valuable Skuid additions that we offer to cutting-edge builders for feedback before we mark them as generally available.

Pilot features

Pilot features are not yet intended for prime time production use, but they are available to select customers to gather feedback as we prepare them for a broader audience.

To request access to features listed below, contact product@skuid.com.

NLX Site Manager

AWS Marketplace customers can leverage the NLX Site Manager to organize their NLX sites, creating sites for development, testing, and production purposes.

Heads up!

skuid CLI versions older than 0.6 no longer supported

With the GA release of skuid CLI 0.6 during Edinburgh Update 1 last quarter, we published notice that older versions of the CLI would not be supported after Edinburgh Update 2's release.

That time has come. We encourage all CLI users to upgrade to a 0.6 release. Issues from older CLI versions will no longer be addressed.

In case you missed it

These useful features made their way into Skuid in recent releases before this update.

Improved image properties

As part of CORE-4470, we made improvements the Image component's properties, as well as related Image background properties of various container components (Page, Wrapper, Grid, etc)

• Improved help text for Model and Merge model properties

• The Alternative text property is always visible and supports merge syntax

• Default Image source is now "URL"

• Image source property:

  • Always shows the "URL" and “Attachment” options
  • NLX – Shows the "File" option
  • SFX – Shows the "Static Resource" option

• When "Attachment" is the Image source:

  • The "Model" property is shown and is required
  • The "Image field" property is shown

• Other streamlined properties:

  • Removed unnecessary Data source type, and Data source properties
  • Image URL supports merge syntax, and is only visible when the Image source is "URL"
  • Resource name is only visible when Image source is "Static resource"
  • File Path (within ZIP Static Resources) is only visible when Image source is "Static resource" and Resource name is a ZIP file
  • File name is only visible when Image source is "File"

Removed unneeded "Insert fields" button

In CORE-4732, we removed the extra "Insert fields" button since one now exists within the code editor when a related model is available

Set a custom amount of visible rows in multi-row components

Previously, you could only choose certain amounts of visible rows for Table, List, and Deck components. In CORE-4553 we added the ability to set a custom amount of visible row amounts.

This is particularly useful for Deck components, which could display a lot of empty space depending on the amount of rows shown.

Improvements to user experience of properties in the Image Component and in Image background properties of various container components (Page, Wrapper, Grid, etc)

• Improved help text for Model and Merge model properties
• The Alternative text property is always visible and supports merge syntax
• Default Image source is now “URL”
• Image source property:
  • Always shows the “URL” and “Attachment” options
  • NLX – Shows the “File” option
  • SFX – Shows the “Static Resource” option
• When “Attachment” is the Image source:
  • The “Model” property is shown and is required
  • The “Image field” property is shown
• Other streamlined properties:
  • Removed unnecessary Data source type, and Data source properties
  • Image URL supports merge syntax, and is only visible when the Image source is “URL”
  • Resource name is only visible when Image source is “Static resource”

CORE-4608

With Salesforce's beta release of Lightning Web Security (LWS) for Aura components, we found some errors would surface for our own Aura components (the Skuid Page and Skuid Page Assignment Lightning components). We've proactively updated our components so they will function as expected when LWS for Aura components reaches general availability on Salesforce.

CORE-4614

Fix Composer preview issue where using certain URL parameters would not display queried results appropriately—particularly for RecordTypeId parameters on the Case object in Salesforce

CORE-4655

Fix Composer issue where rearranging fields within Form and Table components would sometimes duplicate the fields instead of changing their location

CORE-4657

Update {{startDate}}, {{endDate}}, and {{allDay}} merge variables to provide more consistent values in on-click and update event actions

CORE-4674

For data sources using the "Client credentials" OAuth grant type, support sending specified scopes within network request headers

CORE-4685

Ensure custom headers with "Sticky" property enabled are sticky in Aura contexts (Salesforce Lightning)

Previously the "Sticky" property for Skuid page headers would have no effect in Aura contexts, and the header would scroll out of view as the user navigated the page.

Now, an enabled "Sticky" property on a page header will cause it to remain affixed to the top of page area allowed by Lightning Experience.

CORE-4699

Add "Copy to clipboard" and "Evaluate formula fields on model" actions

CORE-4701

Add interaction functionality to all field types

CORE-4711

For REST models, utilize the custom template request when making sample requests

CORE-4714

Fix read with inline-edit mode picklist rendering issue in Safari

Previously when editing picklist fields set to "read with inline-edit" mode at runtime in Safari, clicking the dropdown to display picklist values would return the field to Read mode instead of displaying available picklist items. Now the picklist items appear as expected.

CORE-4716

Internal build process improvements

CORE-4719

Internal code improvements

CORE-4725

Improvements for Skuid LWC functionality, particularly around URL handling and rendering certain UI elements

CORE-4726

On Skuid SFX, create scaffolding and user-facing option for toggling Skuid LWC functionality, as well as internal refactoring of some Salesforce data source type code

CORE-4727

Move component merge variables (like {{searchValue}}) out of beta

CORE-4728

Fix issue where Skuid builders without "Customize application" could not update timestamps used for caching—requiring users manually clear their cache to see updates

Previously, Skuid stored certain timestamps in custom settings that could only be updated by those with the "Customize application" Salesforce permission.

While this is permission is commonly granted to Skuid builders, those without that permission would attempt to preview their changes and—since the timestamp had not been updated because they didn't have the proper permissions—their cache would not clear, and an older version of the page would appear. This resulted in some users being able to see the updated page, and other users needing to manually clear their cache to see the updated page.

Now, timestamps are handled so that even those without the "Customize application" permission can update them, properly clearing the cache for other users.

CORE-4729

Fix regression where button groups could not be deleted—only buttons within them or the entire Button Set component

CORE-4731

Fix regression where navigation item labels were not properly updated in the XML and did not render at runtime

CORE-4732

In the Composer, remove extra "Insert fields" button since one now exists within the code editor when a related model is available

CORE-4733

Visual defect in the Composer: The number of the condition is missing is condition type is “Viewport width” or “Snippet returns true.”

CORE-4734

Ensure "false" boolean values appear properly when displayed checkbox-returning picklists outside of Edit mode

CORE-4735

Fix Design System Studio issue where style variant preview of sliding panel would block the properties pane—preventing the user from making edits

CORE-4736

Fix action sequences issue where model conditions were not used to populate field values for rows created later in a sequence

CORE-4737

Fix issue where "Button Icon position" values were not appearing in the dropdown menu within the Properties pane

CORE-4738

Fix inability to override Vertical Navigation item styles via JSS in the Design System Studio

CORE-4739

Fix Wizard issue where step indicators would only appear when using buttons within the Wizard's attached button group

Previously step indicators would only render if at least one button within the Wizard's attached button group was configured. This prevented Wizard component utilizing custom step navigation buttons from displaying step indicators.

Now, step indicators appear as expected based on the number of available steps and whether or not the "Show step indicators" property is enabled.

CORE-4741

On Skuid NLX, address issues with template properties within Text component's not properly saving empty-space content

CORE-4742

Template fields in Forms missing the “Hide label” property

Fix Table issue where fields marked as read-only on the component would become editable after saving the Table’s model

CORE-4767

Reference Field Filter Conditions are no longer filtering related records in Field components

CORE-4771

Fix Form reference field issue, where the Form's field would remain blank even after selecting a value in certain scenarios.

This issue occurred in scenarios where the Form was dealing with a newly created record, typically in a previous Wizard step, and the Form was displayed in Edit mode. After selecting a new value, the Form would not update properly to display the selected field—even though the data had been updated.

Now, the Form field displays updates as expected.

CORE-4772

Unnecessary horizontal scrollbar in the middle section of the Design System Studio

CORE-4774

X Axis on Bubble charts is ignoring the minimum range value

CORE-4937

Ensure that internal methods used to reparent nested components properly clean up and remove the reparented component from the previous parent

CORE-4938

Ensure v2 components properly listen for user time zone changes

Previously custom time zone handling through snippets would not propagate as expected in v2 components—particularly the Calendar. For users migrating from v1, this meant snippets were no longer working on otherwise-identical v2 pages.

Streamlined single sign-on setup

(NLX only)

As part of this alliterative update, we've taken a look at how to make setting up single sign-on (SSO) on an NLX site faster so you can spend more time building apps and less time worrying how to authenticate your users.

• We now display Skuid's Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL and Service Provider Entity ID values when you begin setup. No more placeholder values in one place or the other, just copy, paste, go.
• We've updated our identity provider connection detail screens, better grouping related information and streamlining the page for easier maintenance.

New label properties for Forms

• Label position: Previously field labels could appear on top of fields or to the left through a Form component property, but checkbox inputs commonly need their labels on the right side—like when adjusting preferences or checking the ever-present "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions."

With this new property, you can incorporate this common UI practice into your apps. Label position can be set to above the field or to the right of it. Available on Checkbox and Switch field types.

• Hide label: This property allows field labels to be totally hidden from the user interface while still being available to screen reader technologies.

skuid CLI 0.6 is GA!

(NLX feature with SFX impact)

skuid CLI—the command line interface for retrieving and deploying Skuid NLX metadata—is seeing some notable changes in its 0.6 release, which is now generally available.

You can use these features using the latest 0.6 release of skuid CLI:

• --since flag: This flag allows you to retrieve only the metadata that's been modified since a certain timestamp. That means you retrieve only what you've recently updated for sandbox-to-production deployments, which means your apps get deployed faster.

  # Retrieve metadata updated since May 22nd, 2023skuid retrieve --since "2023-05-22"

• --ignore-skuid-db flag: There are special constraints for working with Skuid Database in skuid CLI: skuid CLI won't redeploy existing databases to avoid overwriting schema, and it won't deploy more databases than a site's allotted limit.

  While these safeguards can stop problematic deployments, most deployments do not rely on Skuid Database metadata. Using --ignore-skuid-db allows deployments to proceed, acknowledging that skuid CLI can ignore Skuid Database for the current deployment.

  skuid deploy --ignore-skuid-db

• Improved logging and error handling, with options for more details and outputting logs to files

• No longer compatible with SFX: The skuid CLI now focuses on Skuid NLX environments, and previous Salesforce-related commands are no longer supported.

  For Skuid SFX, use our skuid-sfdx plugin for Salesforce's command line interface.

• Increased stability

Heads up!skuid CLI versions prior to 0.6.x will not be supported after Edinburgh Update 2 later this year. This will allow us to focus on further enhancements and optimizations both for the CLI and NLX's backend.

Beta features

Custom domains improvements

(NLX only)

Adding a custom domain reinforces your branding and makes your Skuid site easier to navigate to. We've been making refinements during its beta period and are releasing several user experience enhancements in Edinburgh Update 1.

To utilize our custom domain features while they are in beta, contact product@skuid.com

Other updates

Heads Up! Internet Explorer 11 is no longer supported

We're officially concluding support for Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) in Edinburgh Update 1, even at runtime. This allows us to continue to improve Skuid's UI toolkit with modern web platform enhancements, but we can no longer guarantee Skuid will work as expected during build time or runtime for IE11.

With the conclusion of official support for IE11, we encourage all builders—and their users—to upgrade to a modern browser for continued Skuid functionality.

Included tickets

v16.1.8.0

CORE-4766

Fix Table issue where fields marked as read-only on the component would become editable after saving the Table’s model

CORE-4767

Reference Field Filter Conditions are no longer filtering related records in Field components

CORE-4771

Fix Form reference field issue, where the Form's field would remain blank even after selecting a value in certain scenarios.

This issue occurred in scenarios where the Form was dealing with a newly created record, typically in a previous Wizard step, and the Form was displayed in Edit mode. After selecting a new value, the Form would not update properly to display the selected field—even though the data had been updated.

Now, the Form field displays updates as expected.

Improvements to user experience of properties in the Image Component and in Image background properties of various container components (Page, Wrapper, Grid, etc)

• Improved help text for Model and Merge model properties
• The Alternative text property is always visible and supports merge syntax
• Default Image source is now “URL”

CORE-4685

Ensure custom headers with "Sticky" property enabled are sticky in Aura contexts (Salesforce Lightning)

Previously the "Sticky" property for Skuid page headers would have no effect in Aura contexts, and the header would scroll out of view as the user navigated the page.

Now, an enabled "Sticky" property on a page header will cause it to remain affixed to the top of page area allowed by Lightning Experience.

CORE-3737

Fix issue in Design System Studio where datepicker style variant previews do not show correct color for weekend days

CORE-3744

Responsive Grid vertical alignment improvements for "fit to content" + minimum heights

Previously, Responsive Grids set to have vertical alignment, with a minimum height, and the "Fit to content" height strategy would only consider the contents of the divisions—instead of the full minimum height of the component—when determining vertical alignment.

Now, Responsive Grids properly consider the minimum height when applying vertical alignment to their divisions.

CORE-3876

Improve rendering speed for Deck components, particularly for high record counts

In v16.0.3 this ticket also represents work to adjust how Skuid handles HTML encoding, which has effects particularly in Text components.

CORE-4419

Fix issue where Go to URL actions in a Chart series would not accept some Chart context-related merge variables

CORE-4472

Fix issue where mass actions displayed as menus or comboboxes were always deactivated

CORE-4486

Fix issue where reference fields were not properly to showing updates in edit mode—even when models were refreshed and contained accurate data

CORE-4548

Fix Chart bug where context was not properly set after drilling down, returning to the main chart, and then drilling down into a new value

Clicking into a Chart component segment sets the context, which can be used to display filtered drilldown information. Before this fix, returning to the main chart and then drilling down into another value would not properly set the context—instead using the previous drilldown’s values. With this fix, drilldowns work as expected.

CORE-4549

On Skuid SFX, fix issue where users without Skuid licenses were not being redirected to standard Salesforce

CORE-4593

Fix Edinburgh early access issue where “Required” validations would sometimes run incorrectly if users pressed the Tab key to proceed to the next field

CORE-4594

Add Calendar component merge variable functionality to event on-click actions and event update actions

CORE-4596

Adjust Calendar component behavior to query for additional events within the selected time frame

Previously, model record query limits could unexpectedly cause a Calendar sourcing its events from that model to not display all the event records for a given time frame.

To continue allowing for record limits while also not leaving end users confused about why certain events would not appear, the Calendar component now intelligently queries for records until all events within selected time frame are displayed.

CORE-4597

Fix bug where the Calendar component’s "+n more" view modal displayed the previous date

CORE-4599

Fix issue where Calendar components were not providing actions for “Run component action” picklist

CORE-4600

On Skuid SFX, fix issue where tooltip text wouldn't fade on pages deployed in Lightning with the Skuid Page Lightning component

CORE-4601

Fix issue where the Composer would not recognize setting a previously-configured margin property back to "None" as a change, meaning it was not possible to save the page unless another change was made. Now the Composer recognizes the change, and enables the Save button, as expected.

CORE-4604

Add “Label placement” property to fields displayed as switches or checkboxes, allowing for labels to display to the right of these inputs

CORE-4605

Add “Hide label” property for Form fields

CORE-4606

Fix Table field issue where "Required" checkbox was not a visible property in the Composer

CORE-4607

On Skuid SFX in Lightning experience, fix lookup filters for polymorphic fields (e.g. OwnerId on the Case object)

Previously when selecting a value for a polymorphic reference field, an error stating a field doesn't exist would appear—even with properly configured lookup filters. This fix ensures that reference field works as expected.

CORE-4608

With Salesforce's beta release of Lightning Web Security (LWS) for Aura components, we found some errors would surface for our own Aura components (the Skuid Page and Skuid Page Assignment Lightning components). We've proactively updated our components so they will function as expected when LWS for Aura components reaches general availability on Salesforce.

CORE-4609

Internal improvements for future features

CORE-4610

CORE-4618

Internal codebase improvements

CORE-4619

Fix issue where included page model conditions would ignore Page Include query parameters for identically named parameters in the container page

With an included page and a container page, if the container page has a URL parameter that shares the same name as a Page Include query string parameter, the Page Include's query string would win out—since it more specifically applied to the included page's use.

However a bug appeared where model conditions would ignore the identically named Page Include query parameter and use the value of the container page's parameter instead.

This fix returns the model condition behavior to the previous expected process—where Page Include query strings win out even when identically named.

CORE-4623

On the Search component, fix issue where the field picker for setting Return Objects would not function

CORE-4624

Fix where builders previously could not disable the "Skip entry criteria" property for existing "Submit for Approval" Salesforce data source actions. Now builders can enable/disable this property as expected.

Adjust appearance of Search component in the Composer canvas to more accurately reflect its runtime appearance

CORE-4630

Set “Sanitize field values” property to default off for Table components

CORE-4633

Fix issue where Responsive Grid components would not reflect layout property changes within the canvas

Major features

• Client-side validation additions:

  • Validate based on length as defined in the field's metadata: Now, you can display a specific runtime error when users exceed the maximum number of allowed characters. This is determined by the data source orfield metadata overrides.

  • Set custom error messages for required fields. Whether or not a field is required is defined by metadata (the data source itself requires the field) or by Skuid's own Required model field property.

    Previously, these required fields were not as configurable, displaying a standard error message when fields were left blank. With this new feature, you can set custom messages that better guide your users.

• Calendar component enhancements

  • Improved handling of Unassigned groups: The grouping feature on Skuid's Calendar component allows for views to be divided based on a field value from an event source. If that field did not have a value, the event would display in the Unassigned category.

    Previously this category was always visible and not configurable. But in Edinburgh it's possible to both relabel this category and to select how (always, never, if values exist) where it should be shown (top, bottom, or alphabetically)

  • Runtime improvements: We also made a variety of improvements to the component in Dubai Update 2 and Dubai Update 3. In case you missed them:

    • Improved time zone handling:

      • Clicking "+n more events" on a day previously would sometimes display the previous day's events

      • Expanding single date events (like tasks) which should not be able to expand/contract

      • Event creation showing an error in the modal even though it was successful before closing the modal

      • Save button disabled state when creating/editing an event in the modal

      • Single date event sources should now always render on the same date no matter the timezone/locale

      • Start/end date should now always render on the same date no matter the timezone/locale

      • Start/end datetime should adapt to the org locale setting as expected

      • Start/end datetime should render based on timezone properly for users at runtime.

        As an example: In America/New_York an event is created for 11am. In Australia/Sydney it should be represented at 3am the next day.

    • {{startDate}} and {{endDate}} now provide date values instead of datetime (which are available through startDateTime and endDateTime)

    • "View more events" buttons now work in Salesforce Lightning

    • Calendar day view now better scales to the page and properly displays hourly divisions

• Use Apex to provide authentication values in data sources: (SFX only) Apex, Salesforce's server-side programming language, can now be used to return values used in authentication requests from Skuid's proxy.

  For instance, some authentication tokens may be longer than 256 characters or saved in a different secret store than Skuid. With this feature, you can write an Apex class that retrieves and returns these values as a string and use it with the $Apex merge variable.

• Sanitize fields values for CSV export on Table component: When exporting data it's often best to sanitize field values of characters that, when imported to another program, can cause unintended consequences. These are often characters that activate logic or formula functions. Some instances are accidental, some are malicious, and this feature helps better protect users when it occurs.

  While this feature has previously been available on Skuid Database, with Edinburgh we've added the ability to sanitize field values to all Table components on both Skuid NLX and Skuid SFX.

Released in beta

Beta features represent valuable Skuid additions that we offer to cutting-edge builders for feedback before we mark them as generally available.

• SSO user provisioning enhancements: (NLX only) Single sign-on (SSO) has been possible through the SAML protocol on Skuid NLX, but Edinburgh brings feature enhancements to Skuid NLX's single sign-on (SSO) user provisioning features:

  • It's now possible to have a user's Skuid attributes (like email or locale) update based on the user's SAML attributes from your identity provider.
  • Automatically reactivate previously deactivated Skuid users if they login from an IdP. This is useful particularly for subscription management, ensuring you can safely deactivate users without accidentally locking out your active Skuid users.

• Skuid Database schema import/export with skuid CLI: (NLX only) It's now possible to retrieve and deploy Skuid Database schema, or metadata structure, from one Skuid site to another— or redeploy it the current environment if needed.

  This is used to move the structure of a Skuid Database from one environment (like a sandbox site) to another (like a production site).

  While it's not very common to have the same data within a sandbox and production site, it's possible to use this feature in tandem with the CSV Export/Import feature of Skuid Database to move both the schema and data from one Skuid site to another.

Released in pilot

Pilot features are not yet intended for prime time production use, but they are available to select customers to gather feedback as we prepare them for a broader audience.

To request access to features listed below, contact product@skuid.com.

• Custom domains: (NLX only) This long-requested branding feature is being released in pilot for Edinburgh. With this it's possible to have your Skuid NLX site listed entirely under your own web domain. If your goal is to provide a public portal for your Skuid implementation or private label your Skuid apps, try using custom domains to reinforce your brand.

• Session variables: (NLX only) In single sign-on use cases, it's not uncommon to store more detailed user information in the identity provider and then pass that information along to service providers as SAML Attributes. These attributes can now be mapped to session variables to be used in Skuid applications, primarily for data source object conditions on SQL data sources.

  Note: 

  Session variables are only accessible during a user session to avoid any security concerns surrounding storing SAML attributes.

Other updates

• Apply margin to all sides of a component: Previously builders had to set margins for components for each side individually. With this update, it's now possible to set a consistent margin value for all sides at once.
• On the Table component, global actions now have enable conditions and style variant conditions.
• Continued improvements to our backend technologies on Skuid NLX for scaling, management, and performance
• On Skuid SFX, we've updated property labels and default values related to Salesforce Classic header and sidebar:
  • "Show salesforce header" is now "Show Salesforce Classic header"
  • "Show salesforce sidebar" is now "Show Salesforce Classic sidebar"
  • Both properties are now unchecked by default
• In Skuid NLX, we now display a count of both active and inactive users for app permission sets and indicate which users are inactive from a permission set's detail screen. We've also improved dependency checks related to permission sets and users.

Breaking changes

As of 16.0.3, <script> tags are no longer executed from within Text components containing HTML. This was never a supported behavior, and it will now no longer occur.

For proper snippet execution, all JavaScript must be stored in a supported resource type. Snippets can be triggered using Skuid's event subscription framework or by using the Action Framework.

PLIN-4498

Skuid can now perform searches on case-sensitive columns names on PostgreSQL data sources

Previously, Skuid would search on Postgres columns passing in unquoted columns—which meant column names were always assumed by Postgres to be lower case. In practice, this meant searches on columns that used uppercase letters would not work, since they were being seen as lowercase by PostgreSQL:

Quoting an identifier also makes it case-sensitive, whereas unquoted names are always folded to lower case. For example, the identifiers FOO, foo, and "foo" are considered the same by PostgreSQL, but "Foo" and "FOO" are different from these three and each other.

— PostgreSQL docs, 4.1.1. Identifiers and Key Words

Now, Skuid wraps column names in double quotes (") to ensure case-sensitivity is respected.
