Action Buttons in Table View

Now you can enable Actions in Table View as usual units.

Improvements

Use Formulas (and Lookups) as Group membership relation

Now permissions flow through lookups and formulas as well. Sometimes there is no direct relation between a Group and a User and you have to calculate it.

This is a seriously complex shit. Let me try to explain.

Here is the case from our customer:

@Chr1sG

I currently have defined a Role type, and I use a ‘helper’ type (Assignment) that allows users to be assigned to a role with a start date and an end date, i.e.

Role 1:n Assignment
User 1:n Assignment

I use a formula in the Assignment type to determine if it is current (start < today < end) and a formula in the Role type to filter for all related Assignments that are current. I can then have a lookup in the Role type to find all Users who are currently assigned.
This means that the Role type does have a relationship to the User type, but it is a calculated, read-only relationship, and I can’t enable the ‘Use Roles to manage access’.

Any suggestions?

So in this case you will be able to enable Use Roles to manage App access lookup setting and Role will become a Group.

Percent formatting

A new option to format Number Fields so they look nice — % Percent: 0.123 becomes 12.3%.

Automation Rules: Allow setting entity to collection fields via formulas

It was not possible to set a single entity to a collection. For example, you wanted to assign a creator to the task, but got an error:

Now it works.

Fixed bugs

• Hide the mobile menu in a shared document
• Old number icons instead of new money and percent ones are used in entity history, audit log
• Permissions: Not informative error when User tries to change the Group (to-one relation) in profile.
• Permissions: Forbid to edit relations in User Profile if user has read-only permissions to the related Type
• Permissions: Member is not able to edit fields of primitive types and doesn’t see single and multi selects on his own profile
• Whiteboard: Types to which user has read-only permissions are available in Convert To action
• Automation: If you forget to give a name to the rule it will exit without actually saving the rule
• Formula doesn’t allow to use words, that start with “or” & “and”
