Improvements

Conditional formatting

The description of a conditional formatting rule now also appears as a tooltip.

When you create rule-based (conditional) formatting, you can enter short text to describe the purpose and function of the rule. This descriptive text is now also displayed as a tooltip when the mouse hovers on the formatted field.

Note:

If the field has a description, that description supersedes the conditional formatting tooltip.

You can sort the widgets using the following criteria:

  • By Count: Orders the widget results by the number of matching records.
  • Alphabetically: Orders the widget results in alphabetical order.
  • By Status: Orders the widget results according to the order you set in the Configure Field…
  • By Date: Orders the widget results by date.

The available sort options depend on the field type. For example:

  • Status type fields can be sorted by count, alphabetically, or by status order.
  • Entity type fields can be sorted only by count or alphabetically.

Currency Fields

You can now display a currency symbol in Currency fields.

he countdown widgets can now displays weeks and can use a Date Field from a project as the target date.

When you set up a countdown widget, you can now have it display the number of weeks remaining instead of the number of days.

If you’re creating the widget for a specific project, only Date Fields from that project are shown.
