Existing System:

  • Currently, we have usability issues with the add button of a repeater. 
  • When Add is clicked, the user also has to expand the repeater section if it is collapsed. 

Purpose: To improve usability.  

Enhanced System: Changes include:  

  • When “+Add“ is clicked, repeater section should expand (even when it is in collapsed mode) and show one instance to enter data. 

  • Also, if there are already instances added in the repeater, we should collapse all instances and only expand the instance where the user has to enter data.

  • Introduced “Expand All” and “Collapse All” options on the repeater section so that users can perform bulk Expand/ Collapse operations.

  • Sort option also added to sort the instances (Default ASC).

DAP- 6081 - Ability to define what fields/sections of a form will be copied when the clone feature of a form is enabled

Existing System: Currently, on clicking copy, everything gets copied and we can't set any rules to copy only few sections. 

Purpose: To provide the flexibility to configure what sections to copy. 

Enhanced System: The user would be able to: 

  • Configure "Copy Rules" where user can set what sections to be copied. 
  • The configuration would have two options -  "Copy Everything Except" Or "Copy only Selected".

DAP- 6342 - Ability to add "Empty/Not Empty" conditions on system generated Id field

Existing System: Currently, user would not be able to configure actions for system-generated Id control. 

Purpose: To provide flexibility to configure actions that are "Save-Dependant". 

Enhanced System: User would be able to: 

  • Configure 'Empty' or 'Not Empty' based conditions for a System Generated Id.
  • If a user wants to have the application behave differently after record save, then this configuration will be much helpful as a system-generated Id gets generated when users hits save.
  • So, any condition like "Id is Empty" is configured means the behavior is applicable for record create scenarios. 
  • Similarly, any condition like "Id is Non-Empty" is configured means the behavior is applicable to all existing records which are already created and user wants to update it.

Impacts on existing forms: No

Available in Mobile: Yes on both iOS and Andriod.

Purpose: To provide configuration.

  • Show/Hide the public notification link in the notification builder using "EnablePublicLink" custom setting. If value is set to "Yes" then public link would be shown. 
  • "App Builder User" custom setting will be used to set a particular user as the public user. We need to provide the User Id as the value to the custom setting.
