Enhanced Related List Experience
We’ve improved the Related List experience in Wave Grid to make it clearer, more flexible, and easier to use for both Designers and Runtime users.
What’s new:
Full-screen view: Open related lists in a full-screen overlay for better focus and visibility.
More related lists: Designers can now add up to 6 related lists (previously 4).
Easy reordering: Drag and drop related lists to arrange them in your preferred order.
Helpful tooltips: Add tooltips to related lists to give users more context at a glance.
These updates help keep related data organized and easier to work with—so you can focus on what matters.
Grid Field Configuration
The Grid Field Configuration experience has been upgraded to give Designers more control over how columns appear and behave in Wave Grid—while keeping Salesforce data intact.
What’s new:
Rename columns: Update column labels (for example, Account Name → Company Name) without changing the Salesforce field name. The new label appears consistently across filters, rules, grouping, sorting, and more.
Required fields: Mark fields as mandatory during data entry. Users can’t save records with empty required fields.
Hide columns: Hide columns from the grid view while keeping them available for filters, rules, and sorting. Hidden columns can be restored easily.
Read-only fields: Make columns non-editable, even if users have edit access in Salesforce.
Cell formatting: Control how numeric values are displayed, including decimal precision and unit formatting (K, Mn), without changing the actual data.
Default values: Set default values for new records across multiple field types to speed up data entry.
These enhancements make grids more flexible, consistent, and easier to use.
User Queues Support
Wave Grid now supports filtering records where the Owner is either the logged-in user or a queue the user belongs to, providing a more complete and relevant view of assigned records.
Key Improvements
A new Owner filter option appears for objects that support queues.
Automatically includes records owned by queues the logged-in user is a member of.
Supports first-level queues only.
Filter selection is persisted for future sessions.
Available only for objects that support queue ownership.
This enhancement ensures users see all records they are responsible for, including those assigned through queues, improving visibility and reducing manual filtering.
Vertical Measures in Matrix
Matrix now supports Vertical Orientation for dynamic measures, giving you more flexibility to design layouts that match your forecasting and analysis needs.
You can choose between Horizontal (default) and Vertical orientations, allowing you to optimize readability, reduce column clutter, and work more comfortably on smaller screens. This is similar to the layout options available in Salesforce.
Key Highlights
Configurable Measure Orientation Select Horizontal or Vertical directly in the Matrix Designer. The setting is saved and applied automatically at runtime.
Cleaner, More Readable Layouts In Vertical orientation, each dynamic measure appears as its own row under the relevant record, and reducing wide tables.
Smart Measure Controls Hiding or showing dynamic measures now hides or shows entire measure rows, keeping the matrix clean and focused.
Totals That Just Work Each measure row displays its own totals, and hidden measures automatically hide their totals as well.
Vertical orientation gives you more control over how data is presented, making complex forecasts easier to read and compare. Whether you prefer fewer columns, more rows, or better usability on compact screens, this enhancement helps tailor the Matrix experience to how you work.
Extended Improvements from Wave Embedded v18 🎉
In addition to the new enhancements introduced in Wave Browser Extension v47, several key enhancements from Wave Embedded v18 has been extended to ensure a consistent and seamless experience across both platforms.
Wave Embedded v18 Enhancements
Wave Browser Extension v47 delivers a cleaner settings experience and aligns key capabilities with Wave Embedded, helping users move seamlessly between products without relearning workflows. As always, we value your feedback. Please use the new in-app rating options to let us know how we’re doing. More enhancements are coming soon.
