New Enhancements ✨
Matrix & Grid Column and Row Totals – Design Update
We’ve improved the design and functionality of Column and Row Totals in Grids and Matrices to make runtime calculations and data access faster and more intuitive. User preferences are now captured as IPC for a personalized experience.
Key Improvements
Flexible Functions: The default function is Sum, but you can quickly switch between Sum, Avg, Min, and Max while working in the grid.
Interactive Design: Totals are displayed as icons. Hover over an icon to view the function name and change it on the spot. Click a total value to copy it to the clipboard, and numbers hidden under an ellipsis are easily revealed via tooltip.
This update makes it simpler to view, manage, and use totals without leaving the grid, improving both efficiency and clarity.
Bar and Dot Size Improvements
We’ve fine-tuned the bar and dot sizes in Cell Highlight and Row Highlight to ensure a cleaner, more balanced appearance. These visual updates make highlighted cells and rows easier to distinguish without feeling cluttered.
Lookup Chip UI Enhancements
Lookup chips now appear only when you hover over them, creating a simpler and more focused grid view. In addition, read-only lookups now display in a distinct color, helping users quickly recognize non-editable values.
Formula Field – Enhanced Compatibility
We’ve strengthened Formula Fields to make them far more capable and consistent throughout the Grid experience. The following improvements give users more flexibility and power at runtime:
Formula Fields in Rules Formula Fields can now be used directly in Rules. They appear in the field list just like any standard field, making it easier to build logic using your calculated values.
Formula Fields in Rules Aggregated Totals for Formula Fields Totals at the bottom of the grid—Sum, Max, Min, and Average—now support Formula Fields as well. Users can view and adjust these aggregated values just as they would with numeric fields.
Aggregated Totals for Formula Fields Contextual Filters Support You can now apply contextual filters directly from Formula Field column headers for quicker, more precise filtering.
Contextual Filters Support Support for L2 - L5 Related Fields Formula Fields now support L2 through L5 related fields, giving users greater flexibility when building formulas that reference deeper object relationships.
Formula Fields Support for L2 Related Fields
Bug Fixes 🐞
We've addressed several issues in this update to improve your experience. Here are the details of the bug fixes included:
Related fields now behave correctly with FLS changes. Only the field with removed FLS permission is hidden. Other related fields stay exactly where they should.
Improved Floating Summary order. The summary now follows a clearer sequence: Sum → Count → Average.
Accurate totals after filtering. Group aggregates and the floating auto summary now match perfectly when using contextual header filters.
Record type–filtered picklists update instantly. Picklist values now refresh right away when adding or removing the Record Type field, and they correctly show only filtered values.
Better copy-paste across all major data types. Copy-paste issues have been fixed for picklist, checkbox, multi-picklist, number, currency, date, time, datetime, percent, combobox, and record type.
Recent lookup values now update correctly. The Recent Users section in the Lookup overlay now refreshes automatically and always shows your most recently selected or accessed lookup records.
Default Values Now Applied for Null or Undefined Fields Default values are now applied correctly for null or undefined fields. Formulas run smoothly even when data is missing, ensuring consistent evaluation without errors.
Wave Browser Extension v46 continues our focus on reliability and ease of use, giving you tools that keep your data secure and your workflows seamless. Stay tuned for more updates as we keep enhancing your Wave experience.
