  • 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.

  • 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.

    • The Enter hotkey makes it easier to edit an action that you’re focused on.

    • The S hotkey allows you to skip an action in a flow.

    • Press Esc when focused on properties to return to the action.

  • Look at the bottom of the canvas for a hotkey legend. For more information, see the Action Flows help content.

  • Components: The usability of the toolbar has improved, allowing you to more easily remove components. For more information, see the Components help topic.

  • Page Designer:

    • Performance of the component drag and drop function has been improved.

    • Fixed an issue where Salesforce reference fields were not displaying in the table component field selector.

  • For more information, see the Page Designer help topic.

  • General bug fixes

    • Automatic context conditions now default to the appropriate Id field for the connection:  Id, id, or _id

    • Fixed an issue where some model behaviors changed on requeries.
