February 26 Release (v48)
Wave Extension v48 introduces several enhancements designed to improve usability, expand functionality, and deliver a more intuitive experience for users working with Wave Grid and Matrix. This release includes expanded language support, improved formula capabilities, clearer navigation labels, and productivity enhancements within the grid configuration experience.
Release Highlights 🎉
This update introduces the most impactful improvements in this release, designed to enhance how you work and get more value from the product.
Expanded Multi-Language Support (Italian)
Wave Extension now support Italian, expanding the multi-language experience for global users.
The Wave Grid and Matrix interface will automatically display in the logged-in user’s language based on their Salesforce locale settings, providing a more localized and user-friendly experience.
Formula Builder Enhancements
The Formula Builder has been enhanced to provide greater flexibility and a smoother formula creation experience.
Key improvements include:
Default Return Type: Newly created formulas now default to the String return type.
Currency Support: The Currency return type now supports decimal values.
Function Organization: Functions are now grouped into three clear categories:
String Functions
Math Functions
Logical Functions
New TEXT Function: Convert numeric values to text using the new TEXT function.
Enhanced ROUND Function: The ROUND function now allows specifying the number of decimal places.
Function Guidance Tooltips: When typing a function in the Formula Editor, a tooltip automatically appears inside the parentheses to guide users on the required arguments. As users type, the current parameter is highlighted and the description updates dynamically to explain the expected input for each part of the function.
Sample Formulas: Example formulas are now provided for each data type (Number, Currency, String/Text, and Boolean) to help users get started quickly.
These improvements make building formulas easier, faster, and more intuitive for designers.
Updated Icon for Record Navigation
The Lookup “Open in Salesforce” icon in Wave Extension has been updated to a cloud icon for clearer visual identification.
This update improves visual clarity and helps users more easily recognize actions that open records directly in Salesforce.
Excel-Style Wrap Text in Grid Headers
Grid header text wrapping has been improved to follow Excel-style behavior, making column headers easier to read.
Words are no longer split in the middle when they reach the end of a line.
Instead, the entire word moves to the next line for better readability.
If a single word exceeds the column width, it may still split to prevent overflow.
This improvement results in cleaner, more readable column headers.
Field Search in Fields Configuration
A new search bar has been added to the Fields Configuration screen.
Users can now quickly search for fields by name, making it much easier to locate specific fields—especially when working with objects that contain a large number of fields.
This enhancement helps designers configure grids more efficiently and reduces the time spent scrolling through long field lists.
Improved Pricing Calculation for Opportunity Products
Wave Grid and Wave Matrix now deliver more predictable and consistent pricing behavior when updating Quantity for Opportunity Products.
Previously, when Quantity was updated without modifying Sales Price, Wave preserved the Total Price causing Salesforce to automatically recalculate the Sales Price (Unit Price). This could lead to unexpected and unintended pricing changes.
With this enhancement, Sales Price is now preserved when Quantity is updated, and Total Price is recalculated automatically based on the updated Quantity. This aligns with standard spreadsheet and Salesforce UI expectations where:
Total Price = Quantity x Sales Price
Key Improvements:
Sales Price remains unchanged when only Quantity is edited.
Total Price recalculates automatically based on the new Quantity.
Consistent pricing behavior across Wave Grid and Wave Matrix.
Reduced confusion when managing Opportunity Product pricing.
This change applies to Opportunity Product editing in Wave Grid and Wave Matrix.
Bug Fixes 🐛
In this release, we have addressed several issues to improve user experience and functionality.
Grid Access Automatically Set to All Users When Restoring New Grids Fixed an issue where restoring a grid for the first time in a target org could result in the grid being inaccessible if the backup had the access set to Custom. The system now automatically sets the grid access to All Users when the grid does not already exist in the target org, allowing the restoring user to immediately view and use the grid without additional configuration. If the grid already exists in the target org, the restore process retains the existing access configuration.
Grid Record Count Reset After Clearing Search Fixed an issue where the grid reset the record count to the default (200) after clearing a global search. The grid now retains the last selected record count (for example, All Records) unless the user manually changes it or refreshes the grid.
Pending Changes Window Remains Open After Revert All Fixed an issue where the Pending Changes window remained open after selecting Revert All, even though all changes were reverted successfully. The window now closes automatically after the revert action while still displaying the confirmation message.
Smart Import Date Shift in Non-US Time Zones Fixed an issue where Smart Import shifted Excel date values by one day in non-US time zones due to timezone assumptions during processing. Dates are now imported exactly as they appear in Excel, regardless of org locale or timezone.
Incorrect Timezone Used in Rules Evaluation Fixed an issue where rules using the Today condition evaluated dates based on the previous system timezone after a timezone change. Rules now evaluate dates correctly based on the currently selected system local timezone.
