1.1 Enhancements

Parent object fields available in formula fields

Parent object fields are now available when creating a Formula Field in a child object.

Example:

Order (parent object) and Order Items (child object)

When you create a formula field in Order Items, all fields in the Order object are available:

• On the formula field page > click Choose field
• The parent object is displayed as Orders >
• Click that entry to get a list of fields in the Orders object

Print All

In the list view for any Object, selecting [More actions] > Print brings up a popup window that lets you specify print options. Those options let you specify individual records to print (any selections you made in the original view show as the initial set of records). In addition, you can now select a view to print the entire collection records in that view. (You can also specify the form or template to use for printing, and the page orientation.)

Longer grid sections

A grid section in a form can now be created with up to 100 rows. (Previously, the limit was 10.) Learn more: [[]]

New buttons when editing fields

[Save] and [Close] have been added on fields tab during edit.

Relay Notification Alerts

At the top of the window, a small balloon indicates the number of Relay messages that have arrived. File:RelayNotificationAlert.png
