Release Notes¶

Enhanced Skuid features¶

Brooklyn gives you more ways to create an exceptional user experiences and capture top-quality data.

• Ever wanted to add buttons outside of headers and page titles, or filters outside of tables? We felt your pain, and created stand-alone Button Set and Filter Set components. Place buttons and filters exactly where you need them, and set them to control one—or more—components.
• Leverage the updated Table component for more choice over table column display. And give users more control with table settings, which lets them show, hide, or reorder table columns.
• Keep your toggles, formulas, and other UI-only fields organized with the UI-Only Fields and Models—all the power of UI-only input, without creating dummy or empty models.
• Use the Branch Logic of the Action Framework to “program” button, wizard, and table action responses to user situations—the power of if/else statements without writing a single line of code.

The unified App Composer¶

No more separate composers for Skuid desktop and mobile apps. Welcome to the age of the unified App Composer, where components and actions are responsive and device-agnostic. New components allow features from the mobile composer to be leveraged for any page:

• Shuffle the deck by designing informative and interactive “cards” for your data records with the Deck component. Really useful on mobile and desktop.
• Need a mobile-friendly sliding menu, or just want to hide optional information and make it accessible via a button? It’s easy using Skuid’s new sliding panels feature.
• Configure the updated Navigation component so that your menu is optimized on any device.

Another new way to design with mobile in mind: Interactions. A new tab in Page Properties, Interactions allows you to specify Action Framework sequences for mouse clicks and touch gestures in the Queue, Deck, Image, and Sliding Panel components, as well as on Skuid pages themselves.

More data, from more sources, more easily¶

Brooklyn updates data sources currently in Skuid and adds new “pre-configured” data sources that make it easier than ever to connect to your data—no matter where it is.

• Set up new data sources with pre-configured wizards for Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft Outlook (Calendar, Tasks, and Email) and Microsoft OneDrive, Google Calendar, Google Drive, SAP, and Slack.
• Good news: Skuid now supports OData 1-4 and Sharepoint files.
• What if you need to cross-reference data from multiple data sources and display it on a Skuid page? Just use field metadata overrides to create lookups between data objects, even across data sources.
• Use data source actions to leverage unique data source capabilities—without coding a single snippet. Draft, send, and reply to emails in Outlook. Create new documents, folders, spreadsheets, presentations, forms, and drawings in Google Drive. It’s all possible in Brooklyn.
• Want to move to single-sign on for your Skuid site? Streamline your data source authentication as well? Now you can. Manage your authentication with SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language).

Plus … more cool enhancements¶

But wait, there’s more!

• Working with Salesforce Lightning? Good news: the Skuid Lightning Theme has been updated to match the latest Lightning Design System requirements, plus there are new properties and design elements in the Theme Composer.
• Superpowered search lets you start typing a search string for a list of search options. Hover over one of those results, and the search bar automatically populates with that option.
• New keyboard shortcuts allow you to expand and collapse the App Composer’s panes and make it easy to work with currency in the thousands, millions, and billions.
