Features

Nova Feature Enhancements

Navigation

• Breadcrumbs: Breadcrumbs have been added to form pages to provide a visual trail of user navigation across records within the app. This feature helps users easily navigate back to previous pages or the home page, reducing the number of clicks needed to reach their desired location and improving overall navigation efficiency.
• Picker Modals: Picker modals now use live scrolling (also known as infinite scroll) instead of a paging control. The paging control forced users to click through the pages one by one to find the required record. With live scrolling, when users reach the last row on the screen, the next page of data is fetched automatically. This enhancement improves the experience of selecting items from long lists of records and can be observed in both Page Builder and Page Runner.
• Admin Tools: Admin tools are now available in Page Runner for administrators. When an administrator clicks the icon, it will display a resource link of the Page or Form page name, redirecting them to Page Builder. This feature improves navigation between Page Runner and Page Builder, making it easier to navigate to a resource while testing an app and reducing the number of clicks needed to make changes while browsing Nova apps. Note that admin tools are not available on mobile devices.

Page Builder Enhancements:

• Button Styling: A new style called "Secondary" has been added to available button component styles.

Form Relationship Improvements:

• Bindings: This update addresses an issue where lookup, relationship, and multiselect choice binding fields with many-to-many and many-to-one cardinalities would return target values that did not belong to the selected parent fields. The fix ensures that only exclusive matching target fields are displayed when multiple parent fields are selected in the input field. This enhancement completes the cascading fields feature for lookup, relationship, and multiselect choice fields.
  
  For example, if there are cascading lookups for Country -> Language, and a country and its corresponding languages are selected, changing the country will now automatically deselect any languages that do not apply to the new country.

Streamlined Document Viewing and Downloading

To improve the user experience when accessing documents, attachments, and photos, we have made several enhancements:

• Reduced Clicks: The number of clicks required to view documents in Nova has been reduced. Users can easily preview documents and images by clicking the filename or using the context menu.
• Preview Option: A new "Preview" option allows users to preview documents directly in the browser if the file type is supported (e.g., PNG images). For file types that the browser cannot display (e.g., Excel spreadsheets), the document will be downloaded instead.
• Highlighted Download Icon: The download icon has been highlighted to draw user attention, reducing confusion and frustration caused by users mistakenly clicking on blue text expecting to download attachments.

Nova Features Available in Beta

The ReadiNow Process engine is an exciting development in the realm of business process automation. It offers a highly configurable and user-friendly approach to designing and implementing business processes. The Process feature entered the beta phase in Release 2.189 and will be accessible to customers interested in joining the early access program. Please submit a support ticket to trial Process.

• Assigned To: The "Assigned To" field was not updating correctly after a task was re-assigned. While the re-assignment appeared on the Tasks page, it was not reflected on the task's detailed view, preventing the new assignee from accessing and viewing the task. Tasks re-assigned via a workflow or inline edit by an admin on the My Tasks page will now have the "Assigned To" field updated correctly across all views, including the task detail page. The new assignee will now be able to view and complete the task as expected.
• Step Task Security: Non-admin users with Process Step Task Edit access can now progress a task, even if the task is not assigned to them. This ensures that users with the appropriate permissions can complete tasks regardless of assignment, streamlining workflow progress.

Bug Fixes

Platform Resolved Issues

• Workflow Action Buttons Health Check Fix: A bug in the health check related to 'Action buttons' values has been identified and fixed. As a result of this fix, more action buttons will be scanned, leading to the identification of more errors, warnings, and suggestions in workflow run action buttons.
