Opus Nielsen Release, version 2024.11.6
Specify Join Columns to Filter Report Results from Multiple Objects
When creating reports based on query objects that contain primary and secondary objects, Report Designers can specify Join Columns so the report only includes rows where values in the selected columns for each object are equal, similar to joining two database tables. For example, if the primary object is a Purchase Order and the secondary object is an Advance Shipping Notice, the Report Designer can specify that only the rows where the Purchase Order Line Item Number in each object is the same. This ensures that the report will only include rows that meet users' business needs and removes unwanted data from the results without affecting the underlying query object or data. The Join Columns can optionally be further revised to include tertiary and quaternary objects, if they are included in the query object.

Replace Default Components on a Page
Solution Developers can replace a default UI component on a page with a compatible UI component. When creating or editing a page, Solution Developers can select a UI component, view a list of components that are compatible with the data shown in the component, and select a new component. The compatible UI component provides a different way of viewing data without changing the underlying data structure (e.g. a Radio Group can replace a Picklist but not a DateTime or Boolean). The new component is automatically populated with the properties of the previous component. This provides Solution Developers with flexibility in how data is displayed while also ensuring the data is handled consistently across a solution and the meaning of the data is not obscured.

Add Users to All Available Environments with One Registration

Share Released Company Catalog Items and Versions Across All Available Environments
This release updates the process for releasing new company catalog items (e.g. solutions, reports, dashboards) and catalog item versions so that the released item is available in all environments available to the company. This ensures that a company's validation environment automatically includes the same catalog items as its production environment, and vice versa. Previously company catalog items were released separately on each environment, which increased the risk of the environments being out of alignment.
