Enhanced Event Grouping
You are no longer limited to grouping event views such as calendars, timelines and Gantts by single-option fields. We’ve broadened the horizon to include text, dates, numbers, and even linked fields! For example, see our hectic holiday schedule, grouped by employee.
More Grouping Options: Group your events by various field types, including text, dates, numbers, and linked records.
Dynamic Colors: Visualize your events more vividly by color-coding based on linked records. Imagine seeing shifts colored by employee name or department!
Why This Matters?
It’s not just about seeing a schedule; it’s about understanding it at a glance. For instance, managers can now instantly recognize the distribution of shifts across departments or employees, leading to more informed decision-making and planning.
How to Use It?
- Open your Calendar, Timeline, or Gantt view.
- Select the ‘Group By’ option in the Display options
- Choose from the expanded list of fields to group your events
Filtered Exports
When you filter your data, either in your app, or in the Data Tab, the export button now exports only those filtered records, instead of exporting the full table.
This should let you run granular exports, on only the data you need, with ease.
Small Improvements
With the leadup to the holidays, the Noloco team took the opportunity to focus on small, but important improvements. Here are the highlights:
- Big improvements on app loading time
- Configure SmartSuite date fields to be date or date-time fields
- More field options when creating a table from a CSV
- Ensure app creators don’t accidentally remove their admin roles
- Default values on Rich Text editor form fields
- Better suggestions from our AI App Making Assistant
- Consistent Theme preview when changing your theme
- Display formatted values like currencies, percentages all throughout your app and workflows
- Automatically detect the country code in a phone number input
- Correctly handle empty Airtable rich-text fields
- Better handling of invitation sending when your app isn’t live
That’s all for now, the Noloco team and I would like to thank all of our customers and our wider community for all of the support, excellent questions, wonderful suggestions and insightful conversations in 2023.
We have some incredibly exciting announcements to make in 2024, so stay tuned!
