2024.8 Release Highlights

Happy August! The 2024.8 release of the Fuuz Platform is heavily focused on small improvements and internal work, so there are fewer large highlights - but there are still a few items worth pointing out. Read on to learn more!

Input Unique Validation

This month’s release includes a new validation option for form inputs - a powerful “Unique” validation! This validation option allows users of the screen designer to specify that a field value should be unique within a data model, optionally in combination with other fields.

Let’s take a look at the Unit data model, where we have a name text input element that we want to ensure is unique across all records. We can check the Unique option under the field validation, configure the data model, and list that field under the Unique By Fields.

What if we have a Purchase Order Line data model with a Number that is unique, but only within a given purchase order? We can simply add the purchaseOrderId to the Unique By Fields.

For more information on the configuration options available for the unique validator, turn on field-level help using the question mark in the subheader!

“Enterprise Admin” Flag Removed

The 2024.8 version makes a significant change to enterprise user administration. In prior versions, a user’s status as a site administrator was indicated by an Is Enterprise Admin checkbox on the user record. That field was used to control a number of administrator-only actions, as well as to indicate to the Fuuz team which users should receive access requests, system notifications, and other important information about the Fuuz site.

In the 2024.7 release, we added a new User Access Type field for users, which includes an Administrator access type; we set that access type appropriately based on the Is Enterprise Admin flag. In this 2024.8 release, we’ve fully removed the Is Enterprise Admin field and updated any system features which previously referenced it to instead look for a User Access Type of Administrator.

This means users who are trying to identify enterprise administrators should look at the User Access Type, and to promote a user to an enterprise administrator, an existing administrator should change the user’s access type to Administrator.

Minor Highlights

App Designer Navigation Updates

The August release of the Fuuz Platform includes a range of updates to the screen designer to improve user interaction when navigating the panels on the right-hand side of the designer:

  • The Layers tab no longer switches to the Properties tab when selecting a layer. To quickly switch to the Properties tab for a layer, users can double click the layer.

  • To quickly add multiple elements from the Elements tab, users can hold CTRL while dragging a new element to keep the Elements tab active instead of switching to the Properties tab for the new element.

We’ve also made some improvements to the left-hand Navigators panel:

  • The Search bar will now also filter the Recently Updated and Recently Closed sections.

  • The Recently Closed section no longer includes deleted items.

  • We’ve corrected a bug causing the “type” icons to display incorrectly in some cases.

A complete overhaul of the Navigators panel is planned for the coming months, so keep an eye out for that!
