Insert existing Views into Rich Text / Documents (experimental)
This is our first experimental release with the new blocks approach. You can insert existing Views (all kind of Views, from Tables to Reports) into Rich Text fields and Documents. There are endless use cases. You can create dashboards, combine text and tables to explain things better, overview documents with embedded reports, etc.
To insert a View, just invoke / menu in rich text and find Insert View action, the select existing View from the list. Alternatively, you can use {{ shortcut, just type {{ and find the View.
So far you can’t do much with the View Block, only expand. In future we will allow to change its height and do other things.

Form View covers
Now you can set covers for Form View: color, uploaded image, or Unsplash image. Nice and easy. Here is how it works:
Improvements
Previously you could see only 100 recent notifications in Notification section, now you can see all of them and scroll to the end . As a side effect, notifications counter got larger, so you can just Mark all as read.

There are multiple “Group/Ungroup” menu entries in the popup menu of a group
Whiteboard: it has no sense to show Delete option for locked objects
Link is default instead of create for one-to-many relations
Partly hidden ‘drag’ icon when open rich-text from table
Oops error when open some tables
Field should collaps/expand only on click on the Icon or Field name, but not on the whole line with the field name
Whiteboard: Group/Ungroup options don’t work for locked group of objects
I am so excited for ‘Views into Rich Text’. This is a huge upgrade that will streamline a lot of our workspace’s interface by combining relevant views - which means easier navigation! I’m looking forward to adjustable block height.
A lot of our work is done in views under smart folders (active projects with views filtered to that project). Being able to combine those views into template documents that are still filtered per smart folder level would be amazing. Is this on the roadmap for future upgrades to this feature? Either of the following options would work for my team:
Type of document/page that acts as a template between smart folder, with the same views on each but filtered to that smart folder level.
Template rich text fields within an entity (so I don’t have to add that view to each entity), but filtered to the entity.
This is brilliant. Love it. Only thing to make it more usable right away is making the min height resizable. There’s a ton of extra whitespace for views that only have a few records. For example I’m putting an Objectives view above a timeline to give key context - but there’s a short list of objectives so the objectives view takes up far too much vertical space.
