We’re excited to introduce Fusion v17, packed with powerful new features and thoughtful enhancements to improve your experience and productivity. This release focuses on better usability, performance, and design consistency across the Fusion platform. Whether you're designing apps or working in runtime, you'll find improvements that help you work smarter and faster.
Take a look below to explore what’s new and what’s improved in Fusion v17 and get the latest version of Fusion !
Now, users can call a Connected Workflow within another workflow, reducing redundancy and simplifying maintenance. Instead of updating multiple workflows with the same tasks, users can centralize them in one Connected Workflow and reference it when needed.
✔ Improved Efficiency – Avoid repetitive configurations by reusing workflows.
✔ Easier Maintenance – Update one workflow instead of multiple.
✔ Seamless Execution – The connected workflow runs smoothly without disrupting the main workflow.
A new "Connected Workflow" task lets users call an existing workflow from another.
When added to a workflow, the Connected Workflow task triggers the selected workflow to run from its first step.
Users can control execution behavior, including failure handling and looping limits.
Example Scenario:
Quote WF Connector contains common steps like validation, fetching records, or formatting data.
Instead of recreating these steps in every workflow, you simply call Quote WF Connector from another workflow, such as Workflow: Opportunity LFS.
This keeps Workflow: Opportunity LFS shorter, cleaner, and easier to manage.
📌 In the first image, you’ll see Quote WF Connector, which is designed to be reused.
📌 The second image shows Workflow: Opportunity LFS, where Quote WF Connector is called as a step—reducing the total number of steps and simplifying the flow.
Introducing Fusion’s newly redesigned Search and Select screen enhances filtering capabilities and improves overall usability, offering a smoother experience for both Fusion App Designers and Runtime Users.
Switch Between Versions: Toggle button to switch between new and legacy screens.
Enhanced Design:
Improved Filtering UI for Records.
Drag-and-drop field reordering, checkboxes for selection.
Streamlined picklist and lookup fields.
Run Mode Updates:
Collapsible filters, New Saved Filter option.
Record count display and active Next button.
Designers can now add Title and Description tooltips to workflow buttons in Design Studio and the Fusion Sidebar. These tooltips, with a 1024-character limit, enhance usability by providing helpful information when users hover over a button.
Key Enhancements
Configurable Tooltips: Add or modify tooltips in the Workflow and UX screen. If a tooltip is already configured, the Title and Description will be prefilled.
Editing & Updates: Changes made to tooltips in the workflow automatically reflect on the main Workflow and UX screen.
User Experience:
If a tooltip is configured, it appears on hover.
Tooltips display Title in bold and Description below, similar to Excel tooltips.
If no tooltip is set, fields remain empty with placeholders.
Validation Rules:
An error appears if the tooltip exceeds 1024 characters.
Tooltips are optional—users can save an empty tooltip or cancel changes without updating.
This enhancement improves clarity and reduces confusion, making workflows more intuitive for users.
We’ve introduced a new "Delete Results" condition in the Decision Task to improve workflow management when handling record deletions. Previously, Salesforce restrictions preventing record deletions could cause a failure, with no way to capture or respond to these errors. This enhancement provides the ability to check the result of a deletion process, allowing for a more comprehensive and effective workflow.
This update provides greater control over workflows, ensuring users can seamlessly adapt to deletion outcomes and maintain data integrity.
To prevent data loss, a new 'Pending Save' rule type ensures users save changes before performing actions like refresh.
This update helps maintain data integrity by preventing accidental loss of unsaved changes.
We’ve introduced a powerful search functionality across the main screens of Fusion Design Studio to make navigation seamless and efficient.
What's New:
Maps Screen: Effortlessly locate specific maps with the new search option.
Tasks Screen: Search by object in the Search Task feature for quicker access to desired tasks.
Workflow and UX Screen: Search by button name or workflow name to streamline navigation and improve productivity.
This enhancement empowers users to quickly find and manage configurations, boosting efficiency and improving the overall experience in Fusion Design Studio.
We’re introducing new 'Operator Switching' option available at the task level for 'User Selection (Full)' tasks. This enhancement enables users to switch operators dynamically during runtime on the search and select screen.
Prerequisite: At least one filter must be configured in Design Studio for this option to be applied.
Runtime:
Users can adjust operators, perform a search, and click Next to view the selected data on the grid.
If a user changes the operator and navigates back, the operator originally configured in Design Studio will be displayed.
This feature offers greater flexibility and control, ensuring an intuitive experience when managing data filters during runtime.
Introducing support for Default Values in the Search and Select screen, applicable exclusively to the 'User Selection (Full)' task for Search Filters.
Design Studio Configuration:
Add the Default Values option next to the Search Filter - Operator field.
Default values will be displayed in the corresponding Text Area, Picklist, or Calendar based on the field’s data type, consistent with the existing behavior.
Note: Default Values are only applicable when a Search Filter is selected and are not supported for Lookup fields.
Blank values will continue to adhere to current restrictions.
The default values configured by the designer will appear in the Preview Screen.
Runtime:
When navigating to the Search and Select screen at Runtime, the default values set by the designer will be displayed.
Users can clear default values using the Clear Filter button, which will reset all Search Filters, including those with default values, as per the current functionality.
Users can modify the default values at Runtime, perform a search, and click Next to display the selected data in the grid.
Returning to the Search and Select screen will show the designer-defined default values unless modified by the user.
This enhancement provides greater flexibility and control over search filters, allowing users to streamline workflows with pre-configured default values while maintaining the option to adjust them at runtime.
We’ve introduced five key enhancements to the Data Capture experience within the Notification Task, making it more intuitive and user-friendly. These improvements help ensure better data accuracy, streamline workflows, and give users more control during data collection steps.
Designers can now mark fields as Required in Configure Data Capture.
A checkbox ensures users must enter a value before proceeding.
Runtime Behavior:
If the field is empty, a red error message appears: "Value cannot be empty."
Users cannot proceed until a value is entered.
Introduced a Picklist data type with an Add Picklist button.
Users can:
Select an existing picklist.
Create a new picklist using:
Manual Entry (comma-separated values).
Named Range Picklist (fetch values dynamically).
Runtime Behavior:
Picklist values appear in a dropdown in Excel.
Selected values sync with Salesforce upon saving.
The Number data type now enforces numeric input.
Invalid inputs trigger an error: "Invalid number."
Validation occurs in real-time, preventing navigation until a valid number is entered.
Icons now display next to fields for better clarity:
Rearranged fields for clarity: Input Label | Data Type | Input Type | Cell Reference
Fusion App designers can now enjoy a more intuitive and organized log viewing experience through the redesigned Diagnostic Logs interface. This enhancement introduces a structured and interactive UI to streamline workflow analysis and debugging.
Highlights:
Revamped Main Logs Window: Includes an Org dropdown, search bar (App Name/Workflow Step), date-time range picker, and Open to Browser option. Logs are dynamically filtered based on selected criteria.
New Log Table Layout:
View logs with detailed columns:
No, Org Name, App Name, Workflow, No of Steps, Start Date & Time, Elapsed Time, and browser pop-out support.
Detailed Workflow Step View:
Drill down into specific workflow steps with clickable Display and Save log entries. These open inline to show execution details including Sub-steps, Start Time, and Elapsed Time.
Connected Workflow Indicator: Easily identify and access connected workflows with time breakdowns.
Improved Sorting & Export: All columns support sorting (similar to Wave). Export functionality supports single-log export in this release. Multi-log export will be introduced in a future release.
User Access Control: Diagnostic logs are only visible to Fusion App designers. Runtime and FE users will not have access to this feature.
This enhancement offers better transparency into app performance, making debugging faster and more efficient for Fusion App creators.
The Community button on the Fusion ribbon is now labeled Docs and redirects users to the documentation portal for easier access to product guides and resources.
We found that Fusion offsets the new UI screens for User Selection and Logs when the resolution scale is changed during the active session or multi-monitor setup is changed.
This approach not only improves efficiency but also makes maintaining your workflows much easier in the long run. Find out more about .
