We've enhanced the Grid Creation process, making it more intuitive and efficient for users.
Custom & Global Grids: Users can create Custom and Global grids. The Global Grid option is available only for Admins and Designers, who can configure grids as global and manage access for Standard Users. Standard Users can view Global Grids if access is granted by an Admin or Designer.
Improved User Controls:

Feature Access: Admins and Designers can enable or restrict features for Standard Users, controlling their access and permissions within the grid. Note: This section is not visible to Standard Users.

We've improved how column headers display when space is limited:
Smart icon removal – Icons are hidden first when a column is squeezed, preserving text visibility for as long as possible.
Seamless column dragging – The drag handle icon is removed; simply use the hand cursor to reposition columns.
Improved readability – If a column shrinks to a single character, hovering over it reveals the full name in a tooltip.
These enhancements provide a more streamlined and user-friendly experience when managing column headers in constrained spaces.
We've improved the Lookup Value Picker for a smoother and more efficient selection experience in Filters and Conditions.
What’s New?
Better Visual Distinction – Icons now appear before lookup names for easier identification.

Selected Lookups as Tags – Chosen values appear at the bottom as tags under "Selected (Record Name)" for clear organization.
Quick Deselect – Easily remove a selected value by clicking the cross button on the tag.
Optimized for Large Selections – A horizontally scrollable, collapsible tags row ensures clarity, even for extensive selections (e.g., "60 Selected").
These enhancements improve efficiency when setting up Filters and Conditions.
We've improved user lookup-based filtering to support more use cases and allow dynamic filtering based on the logged-in user.
What’s New?
Special Handling for User Lookup – Treated as a distinct lookup type for better flexibility.
Applies to “Is” and “Is Not” Operators – Ensuring precise filtering.
Default Selection: Logged-in User – Automatically sets the active user for convenience.

We’ve improved the Duplicate Grid functionality for a more seamless experience across all grid types.
Global Grid: If assigned to specific users (not all), a pop-up titled "Duplicate Grid Name" appears with two options:
Duplicate Global Grid with users
Duplicate Global Grid without users If assigned to all users, the Manage Grid pop-up opens directly.
Custom, Report, and Salesforce View Grids:
The pop-up is titled "Duplicate Grid" and auto-fills the grid name as "Grid Name Copy" before opening the Manage Grid pop-up.
This enhancement simplifies grid duplication, ensures consistency across grid types, and improves workflow efficiency.
To help users quickly identify errors after saving updates in Matrix runtime mode, we've improved error visibility:
Highlighted errors: Cells with errors will have a red border or background for easy identification.
Error indicators: An error icon or message will appear next to affected records.
Detailed error info: Hovering or clicking on an error will display more details about the issue.
These enhancements make it easier to spot and resolve errors without confusion.

Dependent Picklist Not Loading When Parent Field Is Out of Viewport Fixed an issue where the dependent picklist failed to load values if the parent field was scrolled out of view.
Conditional Formatting Not Applied to Boolean Fields in L2 Resolved a bug where conditional formatting didn’t apply to Boolean fields in L2 related records if the lookup field was empty.
Grid Controls (For Standard Users): Enables field management, record addition/cloning, and deletion permissions when granted access for Global grids only.
We’ve made Column Grouping more accessible by adding it directly to the Toolbar. Users can now quickly group columns without navigating through additional settings, making data organization faster and more efficient. .
We've improved the Related List display options by moving them from the Manage Grid to the Add button for easier access. The system now remembers the last selected display option at the extension level, with Hierarchical as the default. .
We're removing the Shared feature, meaning users will no longer have access to Shared grids or the Shared icon.
