About This Release

Release 25.0.0 brings a new functionality called Dynamic Menu Builder. It brings enhancements to datalists and dashboard UI. It also fixes bugs related to workflow blocks, datalist, and tenant settings.

New Features

• Dynamic Menu Builder: You can now create left menus for your dashboard dynamically using a spreadsheet and a workflow.

1. Create a spreadsheet with the following fields: id, name, url, icon, parent, and target.

Here name represents the menu name to be shown on the left panel, url represents the corresponding  tenant URL, icon represents the name of the icon taken from the menu builder settings, parent is to define main menus and sub-menus, and target is set to open the menu in a new tab.

Note: You can use any other column names for these fields in the spreadsheet, but you must define the column names as above in Column Alias.

2. Create a workflow with a Get Parameter block, Spreadsheet Filter block, and a Set Variable block. The Set variable block is used additionally for “append” and “insert” modes. In the Spreadsheet Filter block, define the column names in the spreadsheet in Column Alias. Define name as Menu.

3. In the Set Variable block, add a variable “type” and give the value as

insert – to include only dynamic menus, that is, menus from the spreadsheet

append – to include menus built using the Menu Builder along with menus from the spreadsheet

The variable “Menu” gets the value from the spreadsheet filter block.

4. Connect the workflow to the Menu Builder from Configure Policies.

• Datalist Enhancements: A few enhancements have been made to datalists.

1. The columns where you add fields have been increased in length.

2.You now have two view modes for the datalist: List and Grid. You can               select either one or both the modes. You can also adjust the width of                 the column.

On selecting both the modes, you get an icon on the dashboard. Click the icon to switch between the two modes.

3. You can now set different positions for an action button. The action button can be placed on the header, along with the title, within a row, or within a row dropdown.

• Dashboard UI Changes: You can now change the dashboard appearance on the whole or you can change the appearance of a particular dashboard widget.

1. To change the appearance of a dashboard, go to App Settings and click the tab Appearance. Choose from the available options.

• File blocks – get files, get file details

• SS filter
