August 25 Release (v44)

This release focuses on improving usability, consistency across platforms, and preparing the foundation for multi-lingual and multi-currency support. You’ll notice refinements in both Grid and Matrix, along with a few important fixes.

New Features ➕

Multi-Lingual and Locale Support

Wave now adapts to your Salesforce user locale and company locale for a more personalized experience.

• Multi-lingual support for toolbar buttons, left bar, save summary, field picker, profile card, dashboard (Home), and more.

• Locale-aware formatting for dates, numbers, decimals, digit grouping, and currencies.

• Supported languages: Japanese, German.

This update makes your Wave experience feel consistent and native with your Salesforce settings.

Matrix Dashboard: Duplicate Matrix

We’ve added a “Duplicate Matrix” option in the Matrix Dashboard, making it easy to replicate existing matrix.

With this enhancement, you can:

• Quickly duplicate a matrix from the More Options menu.

• Duplicate all settings, including filters, fields, display options, and access permissions.

This update improves usability and keeps the experience consistent across Wave platforms.

New Enhancements ✨

Enhanced Preview Changes Design

We’ve refreshed the Preview Changes design for both Matrix and Grid, across Wave Extension and Wave Embedded.

This update delivers a cleaner, more details, making it easier to review changes before applying them.

Improved Keyboard Navigation in Grids

We’ve enhanced the Enter key behavior for Date and Picklist fields in grids. Now, after you update a cell value, simply press Enter to confirm the change and move smoothly to the next cell.

This update makes working with grids faster and more efficient, especially for users who prefer keyboard navigation.

Help Text on Column Headers

We’ve made grids more intuitive by displaying Salesforce help text when you hover over a column header.

This enhancement makes it easier to understand the meaning or purpose of each field without leaving the grid.

Simplified Record Selection for Single Object Matrices

We’ve streamlined the record selection process in single object matrices by removing the unnecessary secondary screen.

You now go straight to record selection, reducing extra clicks.

Multi-Currency Handling in Matrix

We’ve improved multi-currency support in Matrix for organizations with multiple currencies enabled.

• Main Matrix: Now displays the correct currency value and symbol. Only Count is available for summaries (Sum/Avg not supported).

• Detail View (DDV): Now displays the correct currency value and symbol. Only Count is available in the footer (Min/Max/Sum/Avg not supported).

This enhancement ensures the displayed currency always matches the Currency ISO Code in Salesforce records or user context, instead of defaulting to USD.

Temporarily Disabled ⚙

Vertical Orientation in Matrix Designer

The Vertical Orientation option is now disabled and marked with a Coming Soon badge. This is to ensure a more intuitive layout of vertical measures and improved handling of large data volumes. We will be releasing this in a future update.

Known Issue

Refresh Metadata Button Unavailable in Field Picker

In Manage Grid and the expanded lookup field picker, the Refresh Metadata button is currently unavailable. You can still refresh metadata from the field picker in the grid column, where the button remains available.

Bug Fixes 🐞

We've addressed several issues in this update to improve your experience. Here are the details of the bug fixes included:

• Integer Data Aggregation Preserves Whole Numbers Resolved an issue where saving summaries on integer fields attempted to distribute fractional values (e.g., 7 ÷ 3 = 2.33), which broke the process. The system now uses integer division and distributes remainders in a round-robin manner to ensure totals are preserved while keeping all values as whole numbers.

• Matrix Record Display and Count Now Consistent Corrected an issue where the Matrix initially displayed no records despite showing a record count, and refreshing caused the count to change unexpectedly. The Matrix now displays records immediately and keeps record counts consistent before and after refresh.

Wave Extension v44 makes working with data simpler and more consistent. With better usability, accurate results, and support for global users, this release gives you a smoother experience from start to finish.
