Based on this new design system, the button style is changed under all components and the primary color of the button is changed to dark blue. The tile listing pattern of apps and dashboards is also changed.

 

 

5. Dashboard Widget Marketplace: In the earlier version, you had a dashboard template marketplace that helps you to select any suitable dashboard for your app. Now you also have a widget marketplace to select a suitable widget for your app. To access the Widget Marketplace, go to Dashboard Edit.

 

• Click Import Widgets > Widgets Marketplace from the left menu.

 

• Click the widget you want to use. The Widget Preview page is displayed.

 

 

• Click Import to Assets. The imported widget can be viewed under the respective element in the Assets Panel in the left menu.

 

• Hover your mouse over the imported widget and click Add to add the widget to the dashboard.

You can also replace a widget from a dashboard template. For this, select the widget you want to replace, go to the Assets Panel, hover your mouse over the widget you want to add and click Add. The selected widget gets replaced with the new widget.

 

To access or import these apps, dashboards, and widgets, you must set the storage location in your tenant as apps.vizru.com from Settings > Configure Policies > Menu > App Publish Storage Location. To learn about dashboards and widgets, click here.

 

6. Setting dynamic values in Dashboard Rule Block – This feature is implemented to support dynamic values in the Dashboard Rule Block. You can now provide dynamic values to the Where, Group by, and Sort by options as well as to the Set static variable and Hide tab actions in the Dashboard Rule Block. Instead of checkboxes for View, Export, Add, and Edit actions, you now have a dropdown list from which you can choose the action as True or False, or get the appropriate value (either True or False) dynamically from a previous block.

 

For the action Set static variable under Advanced Rules, you can set the variable name also as dynamic.

 

Additionally, a Show JSON button has also been added to the block to show how the configuration has been saved in the backend.

7. Dynamic value for notification type in the Notification block – Now you can provide the value Success or Error dynamically to the field Notification Type in the Notification block.

8. Displaying confirmation window using workflow – Now you can overlay a confirmation window using the Custom Output block. In the Custom Output block, select the Output Data Type as JSON and enter the required format for the confirmation window in the field Output Data – specify the action as “Confirm”, specify the height, width, title, content, and button style for the confirmation window, and provide the workflow shortcode corresponding to the action that needs to be triggered. The Custom Output block will convert this data to a confirmation pop-up. This eliminates the need to build HTML cards and call them as overlay for pop-ups.

9. Identifying databases having a particular ‘string’ as their header column using Developer Tool: A new functionality has been added to the Developer Tool where you can enter any string, select an app, and the function will return a list of spreadsheets having the given string as header column in the selected app. To learn more about developer tools, click here.

10. New Regex operator: A new operator “Regex” has been added to spreadsheet blocks, Dashboard Rule block, and Datalist Builder. You can select the Regex operator and enter a regex pattern to extract the required data. This is useful for tag-based or keyword-based file search.

 

 

11. Option to select multiple patches and download as Excel file – You can now select multiple patches from Update History and download them as an Excel file. This file contains the list of all the elements added or updated in each of the patches.

12. Improved Form Builder – You now have a Form Builder with improved UI and enhanced functionalities.

• The datatype of the fields is displayed next to each field.
• Dynamic form title: You can give three different titles to a form – main title which is given on creating a new form, form title to be shown in Edit mode, and form title to be shown in View Only mode.

 

• Form preview: You can now find the preview of a form by clicking the Preview button on the top right of the form builder.

 

• Text block: You can add a text block to the form to enter multi-line text.

 

• Theme: You can set a theme for the text area of the field.

 

• You can specify the height and customize the size of the form overlay.

 

• You can specify the confirmation message and success message to be displayed on submitting the form directly on the form builder page without using any workflow. You can also add custom scripts to style the form.

 

• Form field edit options: If you hover your mouse over a field added to the form, you can find the edit icon for the field on the extreme right. You can give an alias name, enter placeholder text, enter help text and set the position for the help text, and also set a default value for a field in the form. You can also set a field as mandatory by selecting the checkbox for Set as mandatory. The form field will have an asterisk symbol indicating that the field is mandatory.

 

• Field dropdown: You can set field dropdowns as normal, smart – where a datalist is displayed as a dropdown, radio buttons, or checkboxes.

 

To display checkboxes, go to the source spreadsheet, select the dropdown column, and select the checkbox for Multiple from Column Settings.
