5.0 Build 3124!

This release includes several improvements to the Matrix view and a fix for the discard draft button on reference fields with multiple lookups.

Improvements

Matrix from view improvements:

  • Pin row dimensions
    Choose which row dimensions to pin left so they stay visible when scrolling columns. Before, all matrix row dimensions were pinned left, blocking horizontal scrolling on forms with many rows. Now, only the first row dimension is pinned by default, allowing horizontal scrolling on forms with many keys.

  • Save facet selections as part of the view
    Facet selections can be saved as the view’s default, so all users see those filters applied.

  • Rename dimension and measure labels
    Give any dimension or measure a custom display label that overrides the default field name. Edit it on the card. Clear the label to revert to the original name.

  • More consistent dimension cards
    Dimension cards now show the field type as a small heading above the name, matching measure cards’ layout.

  • Tell measure columns apart
    When showing several measures without column dimensions, each column is labelled with its measure’s name instead of a generic “Value”, so you can tell them apart at a glance.

  • Hide facet dimensions you don’t need
    Hide a facet from the facet bar while it continues filtering your data behind the scenes. This tidies the view without losing the filter.

  • Dimensions that don’t apply are set aside automatically
    When your facet selection makes a row or column dimension irrelevant, that dimension is removed from the table instead of showing empty columns. It remains visible, greyed out, in the view editor so you can see where it went and restore it by changing your selection.

  • Blank values are now labelled
    Empty categories in column headers now read “(Blank)” instead of appearing as blank space, consistent with blank rows and facets.

Bug fix

  • Fixed an issue in the record panel where drafts for reference fields with multiple lookups could only be discarded when the first lookup field was selected in the table. Drafts can now be discarded regardless of which lookup field is selected.
