➕ What's New?
Export Diagnostic Logs to Excel
We’ve added a new feature that makes it easier to review and share your log data. You can now export diagnostic logs to an Excel file with just one click—perfect for troubleshooting, reporting, or keeping a record of your app or workflow activity.
Default Values in Data Capture (Notification Task)
We’ve introduced the ability to set default values for user inputs on the Data Capture screen of the Notification Task. This feature helps reduce the need for customizing worksheets and speeds up the design process.
None
Static
Named Range Reference
Cell Reference
Default value behavior adapts based on the field’s data type (e.g., string, number, date, picklist).
📌 Default values are shown automatically at runtime in the Fusion App.
✨ Enhancements
Enhanced Runtime Messaging for Add and Delete Tasks
We’ve introduced a powerful enhancement that gives Designers more control over the messages shown during Add and Delete tasks in runtime.
Each task screen now includes a new Messaging section, where Designers can easily customize how messages appear using simple settings and flexible message styles.
➕ Add Task – Set Custom Messages for Adding Records
You’ll now see a Messaging section where you can choose how messages appear when records are added.
In-flight message:
Default – “Inserting rows to the grid”
Custom – Write your own message (up to 50 characters) Example: “Adding {0} new entries for this trial”
No Message – Runtime will just show “Executing Workflow”
✅ Use the ‘Include record count’ checkbox to choose whether to show the total number of records in your message.
🗑️ Delete Task – Show Clear Messages for Deleted Record
You can now customize the messages shown during and after the delete task runs:
✳️ Message Areas:
In-flight Message – Message shown while the delete task is running
Skipped Summary Configurator – Message shown after deletion, in the runtime summary
✳️ Message Style Options:
Default – e.g., “Deleting rows from the grid”
Custom – Write your own message (up to 50 characters) Example: “Deleting {0} patient entries”
No Message – Only available for in-flight messages. When selected, the system will show a fallback like “Deleting 'number of records' records”
✅ Use the ‘Include record count’ checkbox to choose whether to show the total number of records in your message.
Cleaner Save Summary with Expandable Skipped Details
We’ve enhanced the Save Summary to keep it clean and easy to read. Skipped record details are now hidden by default.
If any records are skipped during the save process, users will see a brief summary message with an option to “Show skipped details”.
Clicking “Show skipped details” expands the section to display:
The reason each record was skipped
A list of the affected rows
Once expanded, the link changes to “Hide skipped details” allowing users to collapse the section again and return to a concise view.
This improvement helps reduce visual clutter while still giving users full visibility when they need it.
Improved Error Messaging for Launch from Salesforce (LFS)
We’ve improved the error messages displayed when launching Valorx Fusion from Salesforce to make them clearer and more helpful.
Key Enhancements:
Updated error messages with simple, user-friendly wording
Removed the word “Error” from the first line for a cleaner look
Pop-up now includes:
Top-centered image
Clear message with instructions
Close button
Additional technical details (Record ID, App ID, Error details with copy icon)
Scenarios Covered:
Launch failures on specific versions
Missing or disabled Fusion add-in
Network issues
COM conflicts with Office
Invalid configuration
Runtime errors (now always shown in English)
Each message now clearly guides users to contact support or their administrator where applicable.
Insert Rows Using Excel Right-Click on Grid Maps
Fusion now supports inserting rows directly on Grid Maps using Excel’s native right-click → Insert Row command. This enhancement improves the user experience by making grid editing more intuitive and Excel-friendly.
Works only within the grid’s named range
Enabled by default for new apps
Has no impact on existing apps unless the setting is manually turned on
Newly inserted rows will be recognized during Save and Delete actions.
Insert Columns via Excel Right-Click on Grid Maps
Fusion now supports inserting spacer columns on Grid Maps using Excel’s right-click → Insert Column command.
Inserted columns are detected and treated as spacer columns
Works directly in runtime—no extra configuration needed
This makes it easier to adjust layout spacing directly from Excel.
Offline Mode Storage Update
Offline data is now stored in the Metadata sheet instead of a shape. This improves performance and reliability with no action required from users.
Auto Updates for Fusion
We’ve introduced automatic updates for Valorx Fusion, ensuring all Windows users are always running the latest version—no manual installations needed. This enhancement delivers a seamless, secure, and up-to-date experience across the board.
Users can also choose to manually trigger updates anytime using the new Update button, available under the Control Panel section of the Fusion Ribbon in Excel.
Filter Configuration for Lookup and Text Fields
We’ve enhanced filtering options for Lookup and Text fields in the Search and Select screen, supporting the following operators:
Equal
Not Equal
In
Not In
This allows enhanced filtering logic and value configuration directly within the UI.
Text View & List View in Search and Select
A new toggle lets users switch between Text View and List View when using IN/NOT IN filters.
Text View (default): Paste or type values line by line
List View: Query up to 500 values from Salesforce for selection
Supported for most text-based fields
Lookup: List View only
Not supported: Boolean, Address
Both views support multi-value filtering with an Add and Cancel action.
Recent Records Filter in Search and Select
Fusion now supports a “Recent” dropdown in the Search and Select screen (runtime), showing your last 3 recent record selections.
Each recent entry includes:
A glimpse of the first selected record (e.g., “ALLIEND CONST and 499 more”)
The total number of selected records
The last used timestamp
✅ Selecting a recent entry automatically restores the previous selection, allowing quick reuse or editing without reselecting records from scratch.
“Select All” for Lookup Filters
To make multi-select filtering easier and faster, we’ve added a “Select All” checkbox to the “In” operator filter for Lookup fields in the Search & Select screen. This lets users quickly select or deselect all values in a single click.
Note: The “Select All” option is only shown when the number of records is less than 100. If the record count exceeds 100, the option will not appear to avoid performance issues.
Custom In-Flight Messaging for Query Tasks
We’ve added support for customizing runtime messages in Query Tasks to improve clarity and give users better visibility into what’s happening during execution.
Elapsed Time in Fusion Logs
We’ve enhanced the Fusion Logs to now display the Elapsed Time taken for each workflow or app execution. This addition helps users and support teams better understand performance and execution flow.
Subtext for Query Tasks
We’ve added the ability for Designers to configure an optional Sub Text to provide additional context for users during runtime in the Search & Select screen.
