What makes Skuid a great place to work?

Skuid started with the simple belief that enterprise software should stop forcing people to behave like machines. Instead, apps should behave more like the people who use them, so everyone can thrive in the digital world. We’re looking for people who like to collaborate—who grow a culture of “we” vs. “me.” We reward transparency, honesty, and humility. If you think our name is fun, just wait until you meet our people. No pretense here. We just want to make our customers very, very happy and we’re willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. Come join the Skuad!

Skuid tip - Responsive grid, presented by Huyen York, Demo Extraordinaire
Responsive grid | Skuid tip of the week

Responsive grid gives you numerous options for organizing page layout. This is critical when building an interface to work on different devices. The responsive grid includes one (or more) divisions that house other components: the width and spacing attributes of the divisions determine how those components display. Achieve the layout you desire and make your pages powerful on any screen size using responsive grid!

Skuid Tip | Flag new and updated records in a table, presented by Huyen York, demo extraordinaire
Flag new and updated records in a table | Skuid tip of the week

To keep users up-to-date on the latest changes to their data sets, you’ll want to notify them in the interface when a record is new or updated. With Skuid, you have the flexibility to set the exact parameters you need to specify how these updates happen and configure comprehensive logic to define the notifications in a few simple steps.

SKUID TIP | Deploying your Skuid app in Salesforce Lightning, presented by Huyen York, Demo Extraordinaire. Graphic of illustrated figures building with shapes containing the Skuid and Salesforce logos.
Deploying your Skuid app in Salesforce Lightning | Skuid tip of the week

Deploying your finished Skuid apps is the final, satisfying step to a build project. In the Salesforce Lightning app builder, you can simply drag and drop Skuid pages into your Lightning app. It really is that easy. You can deploy Skuid pages as standalone apps or set your Skuid pages alongside other Lightning components like Assistant, Chatter Feed, Key Deals, Today’s Events, etc. to get the best of all your different tools.

Skuid tip of the week | Hierarchy view for parent and child records - Written by Chris Stern, Sr. Pre-Sales Engineer [image of Chris, screenshot of demoed page]
Hierarchy view for parent and child records | Skuid tip of the week

With Salesforce's robust reporting engine you can slice and dice your data in a variety of ways. What you might not know? With Skuid models, you can leverage underlying Salesforce data relationships to do even more. We’ll show you how to build interactive views that cross boundaries and use data you may not have been able to reach on a single page before.

Skuid tip of the week - Search Actions, presented by Elena O'Neil, Product Engineer [graphic: user interface showing a search bar in the top left corner]
Search actions | Skuid tip of the week

Increase the power of search and help users complete tasks faster by providing them with custom actions they can take right from the search bar. In this video, we’ll show you how to set up a global search component that allows users to search fields across any accessible Skuid data source object—even those not represented by models on the Skuid page.

Skuid tip of the week - Page view based on user profile, presented by Elena O'Neil, Product Engineer [graphic: image of Elena, an illustrated figure holding a tablet and an illustrated figure at a computer desktop]
Page view based on user profile | Skuid tip of the week

Often, certain user types need access to slightly different data or features in your app than other users. For example, you may have Administrator users who need more capabilities than a Standard user. Creating a separate page for each user type can quickly get unwieldy, but with Skuid you can create one page that displays a customized view for each type of user, based on user attributes such as profile, role, or permission set.

Build a custom filterset | Skuid tip of the week
Build a custom filterset | Skuid tip of the week

What is great about the way Skuid is architected is that the data, logic, and UI components can be combined in a variety of ways to give you the functionality you need. For instance, you may want to extend the capabilities of the Skuid filterset in certain situations. You can do this by combining the form component with two different models.

Skuid tip of the week - Action Framework use cases, presented by Huyen York, Demo Extraordinaire [graphic: app interface where a button corresponds to 5 specific actions]
Action Framework use cases | Skuid tip of the week

There are so many possibilities with Skuid’s Action Framework. Trigger complex actions with the click of a button that communicates with the end-user and makes your pages more intelligent. In this week’s tip, Huyen gives us a rapid-fire look at just six common uses.

Skuid tip of the week | Model actions [graphic: different data source icons connecting to a Skuid user interface, image: Huyen Yourk] Huyen York, Demo Extraordinaire
Model actions | Skuid tip of the week

Model actions are useful for creating simplified, automated workflows, even for complex processes. With model actions, the user doesn’t have to take manual action when a specific trigger takes place because the data runs the events behind the scenes. Use model actions to speed processes and make data work harder for you.

How to use display logic | Skuid tip of the week, presented by Huyen York (image shown), Demo Extraordinaire, graphic of logic flowchart showing if/then logic affecting different buttons
How to use display logic | Skuid tip of the week

Configuring thoughtful display logic improves the lives of your users. When you set it up in your Skuid components, the UI will communicate with users through visual cues instead of leaving them to guess at the next steps. Using display logic also helps you offer feedback as users execute app functions, and provides a more elegant, consumer-grade experience.

Skuid tip of the week | Visual design trends - Huyen York, Demo extraordinaire
Visual design trends | Skuid tip of the week

Huyen shows off five current visual design trends that could help your apps pop: rounded corners, shadow on hover, bolder font weight, bright colors, and imagery. All these styles are achievable in Skuid's Design System Studio — to create them, you won't need to write CSS, and they can be broadly applied across all your pages with one click.

Skuid tip of the week | Field value source - Huyen York, Skuid Extraordinaire
Skuid tip of the week | Field value source

When you use the “create or update a record” action from the Action Framework, you have a few options for Field Value Source. In this video, Huyen breaks down the 3 most popular options and helps you decide when and how to use each of those options based on your build requirements. Read more in our documentation - https://docs.skuid.com/latest/en/skuid/action-framework/action-list/actions-model-data-changes.html

Global navigation | Skuid tip of the week

In this video, Huyen sets up an app with a multi-page structure sharing global navigation. If you have an app with different pages, you'll want them to share one single global navigation that you only have to create once, but can be accessed from each page. To do this, we use Skuid master and child pages. Check out our documentation to learn more: Create a Master and Child Page https://docs.skuid.com/latest/en/skuid/pages/master-child-pages.html Check out this sample page to play with the demo yourself. https://github.com/skuid/SamplePages/tree/master/Skuid_Techniques/Navigation

Conditionally highlight table fields | Skuid tip of the week

Ever needed to draw the user’s attention to a field but only wanted to do it at certain times? In this video, Huyen shows us how to highlight a field in a Skuid table when the value of the field matches a set of criteria. This can be particularly helpful when you want to color-code a value based on specific data, for instance when something has reached an expiration date or doesn’t have enough information. Make those fields shine!

This tip is all about productivity! Huyen sourced some of the best Skuid building shortcuts and timesavers from the Skuid community so you can get a jump start on those pages. From keyboard shortcuts to page revisions, it's all gonna make your #appdev life easier.

UI-only fields | Skuid tip of the week - Huyen York, Demo Extraordinaire
UI-only fields | Skuid tip of the week

UI-only fields are a commonly used tool in a Skuid builder’s toolbox. UI-only fields are added to the model to manipulate the UI or to hold temporary information that is not sent to the database. UI-only fields and UI-only models are two of the many ways you can build complex apps in Skuid, while delivering a consumer-grade interface and experience.

UI-only models | Skuid tip of the week - Huyen York, Demo Extraordinaire
UI-only models | Skuid tip of the week

UI Models are very commonly used in Skuid. Unlike standard models that connect to external and persisting data, UI models are created on page load to store temporary data. This means that you can use them to trigger specific actions on the page that will provide handy contextual information to your users.

Skuid tip of the week | Get started in Design System Studio - Huyen York, Demo Extraordinaire
Getting started in Design System Studio | Skuid tip of the week

If you haven’t checked out Design System Studio and want a few quick tips to get started, this video is for you. With DSS you will create and update design style variants for your apps, which you can then apply in the Skuid composer.

Model lookup | Skuid tip of the week
Model lookup | Skuid tip of the week

Instead of showing data in its raw format, you can use Skuid formula fields to change the way your data is displayed to your users. This week, Huyen shows how to use a formula field to do a model lookup - this way you can retrieve data from one model, and display it as a column in a separate model.

Different ways to display images | Skuid tip of the week
Different ways to display images | Skuid tip of the week

Displaying contextual images in your apps can be incredibly helpful for your users. It may seem like extra bells and whistles, but humans recall data more quickly when it is paired with a visual. This week, Huyen talks about connecting images to your pages in three different ways.

Lookup filters | Skuid tip of the week
Lookup filters | Skuid tip of the week

Enhance the usability of your reference fields. Lookup fields (also known as reference fields) define the relationships between objects. With Skuid, you can customize the options available in a lookup field, and how these options are displayed. With lookup field filters, set what results a user sees related to the context of the situation - streamlining their options.

Connecting to a REST data source | Skuid tip of the week
Connecting to a REST data source | Skuid tip of the week

Did you know that the REST data source is the second most used by Skuid builders? Bring the data you need into your Salesforce apps with a little Skuid know-how from Huyen York.

Override field display type | Skuid tip of the week - Huyen York, demo extraordinaire
Override field display type | Skuid tip of the week

Your object fields always have types, but there are scenarios where it makes sense to change the field type, without changing the object, so that display makes sense for the user. This week, Huyen shows us when this can makes sense and how to make the change in Skuid.

Component actions | Skuid tip of the week - Huyen York, Demo Extraordinaire
Component actions | Skuid tip of the week

What's Skuid? Hint: your no-code app builder.

Modern thriving companies require agility at all levels, but more often than not, technology is the problem, not the solution. Disconnected SaaS systems, clunky legacy applications, and poorly designed user experiences kill agility. There are many tools to help create apps faster, but none that solve the experience problem. Quickly solving problems is at the core of business acceleration. Doing that effectively requires continuous designing, creating, and delivering useful, human-centered experiences. Skuid makes it easy to do that. With Skuid, you can rapidly deliver business agility with apps that people love to use.

Is Boston a new product? Is Skuid moving? Has the Spark died? All great questions, but no. Recognizing the magnitude of our latest major release, we’re moving to a new naming theme. We’ve chosen harbors, as they evoke images of stability and possibility. They’re also architecturally diverse, well designed, and downright gorgeous. We proudly present the first release in this new theme: Skuid Boston.

Skuid and Salesforce have a long and lovely history. Originally released on the Salesforce AppExchange for Force.com admins, developers, ISVs, and end-users to customize user interfaces painlessly, Skuid now runs natively on Salesforce to add rich extensions to the UI of Lightning or Classic. In Lightning, Skuid works like a “super component” so that organizations can create an infinite number of custom components without writing code. Watch the video to learn more about how it works.
