Added: RelationGraph – NEW widget type!

We’ve introduced the RelationGraph widget to visualize relationships between nodes in a structured graph format.

Key functionality includes:

  • Switch between graph and table view
  • Parent–child support
  • DrillDown support
  • Custom color configuration for nodes and edges
  • Configurable graph direction (top-bottom, left-right, etc.)
  • Customizable node text, edge labels, and edge styles

CXBOX-1157.New.png

Warning

  1. If multiple connections lead to the same node, and some of them skip intermediate nodes, the graph may not display as expected. Because of this, we do not recommend using such data structures when possible.
  2. The widget automatically switches to table view if cyclic relations or duplicate connections are detected in the data.

Info

A detailed article on RelationGraph will be available soon in our official documentation – stay tuned!

Added: CardList – NEW widget type!

We’ve introduced a new CardList widget designed for convenient file preview and management. All uploaded files are displayed as preview cards, allowing you to easily browse, edit, add, or delete items directly within the widget.

Key functionality includes:

  • File preview in card format
  • Actions’ support
  • DrillDown support
  • Configurable card size

Added: CardCarouselList – NEW widget type!

We’ve added a new CardCarouselList widget with functionality similar to CardList, but presented in a carousel layout. Cards are arranged in a horizontal scrollable strip, while the selected item is displayed prominently above for easier viewing.

Key functionality includes:

  • Carousel navigation (forward/backward scrolling)
  • Actions’ support
  • DrillDown support
  • Configurable card size

Added: Export to Excel as a regular button

Added the ability to display Export to Excel as a regular button. To do this, you only need to indicate a new PostAction.exportToExcel for a BC button.

Example 
   .action(act -> act                       
        .scope(ActionScope.BC)
        .withPreAction(PreAction.confirm(cf -> cf.text("Export to Excel?" )))
        .action("customExportToExcel", "Custom export to excel" )
        .invoker((bc, data) -> new ActionResultDTO<MyExampleDTO>()
        .setAction(PostAction.exportToExcel()))

Added: AssocListPopup and PickListPopup widget - gridWidth support

We have added support for gridWidth for AssocListPopup and PickListPopup, like we did for FormPopup in v2.0.9. You can now manage the width using view.json -> widgets -> gridWidth to control the adequate content presentation in the popup.

You can now control the size using gridWidth to ensure that the content is fully displayed in the popup.
CXBOX-715After.png

The popup size for AssocListPopup and PickListPopup was constant, the value of gridWidth was ignored.
CXBOX-715Before.png

Note! Before this release value of gridWidth was ignored, e.g. popup widget was constant. You can set gridWidth = 16 to remain old popup sizes.

Added: Alternative pagination support

We have introduced the ability to retrieve the total row count on demand via a new alternativeType parameter. By clicking a button, users can request the total number of rows. Once activated, the count remains available during filtering and page navigation and resets only after a page refresh.

Example 
   "options": {
    "pagination": {
      "alternativeType": "nextAndPreviousWithCount" 
      "type": "nextAndPreviousSmart"  
    }
  }

CXBOX-1118-After.gif
You can keep a performance-friendly pagination mode by default (nextAndPreviousWithHasNext/ nextAndPreviousSmart) and switch to nextAndPreviousWithCount only when record counting is needed.

CXBOX-1118-Before.gif
To display the total row count, you can only indicate nextAndPreviousWithCount pagination type, which sends a /count request and may impact performance.

Added: Support for .ogg, .aac, and .flac

Support for .ogg, .aac, and .flac formats has been added.

Fixed: Settings Menu Update

The settings icon (gear) has been moved to the table header and positioned on the right side, above the three-dot menu. This will save space when there are no actions, PDQ, or full-text search on the table.

Fixed: Multivalue,multivalueHover и pickList Filter Display Fix

Fixed the display of filters for multivalue, multivalueHover и pickList fields: selected values are now shown correctly, regardless of whether they are present on the selected page.

CXBOX-1145Before2.png

Info

There is a limitation when using predefined filters of the following types: multivalue, pickList, and multivalueHover. When such filters are predefined, the filter tags display id values. When the filter is manually edited (for example, by adding values via a picklist), the tags are displayed according to the standard rules. This behavior is caused by a frontend limitation: the frontend cannot resolve display names for filter tags if the records specified in the predefined filter are located on different pages of the picklist popup and are not loaded in the current UI context.
