Gridfox Updates

Communication is vital when managing projects, and now it’s easier than ever with the ability to add comments directly to records in Gridfox. Whether you’re providing feedback, asking questions, or simply ensuring everyone is on the same page, our new comments feature keeps your conversations where the work happens.

What’s New?

• Inline Comments: Add, view, and respond to comments directly on records.
• Team Collaboration: Keep your team aligned by centralising discussions within Gridfox.
• Email Notifications: Stay informed with email notifications when someone mentions you in a comment.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Seamless Communication: Centralise discussions by keeping comments within the records they relate to.
• Improved Team Collaboration: Ensure everyone stays on the same page with contextual conversations.
• Effortless Updates: Receive email notifications for mentions, so you’re always in the loop.
• Enhanced Productivity: Reduce time spent switching between tools and focus on completing tasks.
• Historical Context: Retain a record of all comments for easy reference during audits or reviews.

This feature is designed to simplify teamwork and improve efficiency in your workflows! Its intergrated into the existing Record Activity (Audit) feature you know and love.

No more juggling between platforms or losing track of discussions—Gridfox comments make collaboration simple and effective.

We’re excited to add support for Named Relationships and Self-Referencing Relationship — two powerful new features designed to simplify managing complex data models in Gridfox. These enhancements provide greater control over linking tables and visualising connections within your projects.

Named Relationships

With Named Relationships, you can now customise the names of relationships between tables, offering better clarity in how different data points are connected. You can use meaningful, context-specific names to improve the readability and understanding of your data relationships.

Self-Referencing Relationship Support

Self-Referencing Relationships allow a table to reference itself, which is ideal for scenarios involving hierarchical or recursive data structures. For instance, in an employee table, you can establish a relationship where each employee is linked to their manager, who is also an employee within the same table.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Efficient Hierarchy Management: Easily model organisational structures, task dependencies, or any scenario where an item references another within the same set.
• Advanced Data Modelling: Build more sophisticated models, such as referral programmes, nested project tasks, or inventory tracking systems.

Use Cases:

• Employee Management: Create an organisational chart where employees are linked to their managers, all within one table.
• Task Dependencies: In project management, set up task dependencies where one task must be completed before another, helping to organise project workflows within the same dataset.
• Product Categorisation: For eCommerce, structure categories and subcategories in the same table, enabling easy visualisation of complex product hierarchies.

With Named Relationships and Self-Referencing Relationship Support, you can now build clearer, more intuitive data models that suit your project needs. Whether managing teams, tracking projects, or organising products, these features bring enhanced flexibility to working with complex data structures.

We’re excited to roll out a new feature that enhances our Group By functionality.

Now, you can configure summary values for each column when grouping data. This means you can get quick insights and summaries tailored to your needs directly within your grouped data.

Summary Options:

• General Options
  • Empty, Filled, Unique, Percent Empty, Percent Filled, Percent Unique
• Date Options
  • Earliest Date, Latest Date, Date Range (Days / Months)
• Numeric Options
  • Sum, Average, Median, Min, Max, Range, Standard Deviation

Why You’ll Love It:

• Get instant summaries like sum, average, and range for numeric columns.
• See unique counts, empty/filled percentages, and more for all types of data.
• Easily track earliest and latest dates or date ranges for date columns.

We’ve added a handy new feature! Now you can order your projects by their creation date, either from newest to oldest or oldest to newest. Before, you could only sort them by name. This update makes it easier to find and manage your projects based on when they were started.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Quick Access - Easily find the latest projects or revisit older ones.
• Better Workflow - Save time by quickly locating projects by date.
• Clear Timeline - Get a straightforward view of your project history.

You can now change the order of related tables on a record view. Simply click the dropdown arrow next to the related table name, click “Configure related tables”. From here you can toggle visibility, drag to reorder your tables or display your tables as tabs.

We’re introducing a new Group By feature for your grid view! Now you can easily group your data into categories, providing a powerful middle ground between a traditional grid view and a Kanban board, without the need for a separate view.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Group related items together for better clarity.
• Easily see and compare different groups at a glance.
• Enjoy the structure of a Kanban board within your familiar table view.
• Streamline your workflow, making it easier to analyse your data.

Safeguards in place prevent circular references and ensure smooth sitewide functionality, including Grid View results, Record Edit Views, Chart grouping and more!

Streamline your work processes with Gridfox Forms.

Gridfox Forms allow you to collect information from anyone, creating new Records in your Tables with each Form submission.

Forms work across all devices and can be embedded on your existing websites, and can be customised to match your company branding.

Forms can be used for many different purposes, for example:

• Enquiry Forms

  Feed new leads directly into your Gridfox CRM by embedding a Gridfox enquiry Form on your site

• Staff Feedback

  Capture feedback and ideas from your team by sending out a Gridfox Form

• Event Attendance

  Know who is going to attend your next event by asking attendees to complete a Gridfox Form

When exporting your Project data, you will now have two options for the type of export:

1. Export a Report

   If you wish to share a snapshot of data with someone, you can use the report style export. This is available on Grid Views and will export the on-screen view of data.

2. Export & Import Data

   If you want to add many Records to Gridfox, or make bulk edits to Records, you can use the Export & Import feature to do this. You will start by exporting the list of Records from the Table. You can then make any changes or additions required in the downloaded spreadsheet, and reimport the spreadsheet with the new data.

Gridfox becomes very powerful when you start linking Tables together.

Now, once Tables have been linked, you can include Fields from related Tables in your Workflow actions.

For example, if you have a Task management system where each Task links to a parent Project, you could include the Project Name and Status in a Workflow email for outstanding Tasks.

Fields from a parent Table and a grandparent Table can be included on Email and Google Calendar Workflow Actions.

Use filters to find exactly the Records you are looking for on your project Views.

If you have linked Tables together using a parent-child relationship, you can now filter on parent Fields on a child View.

For example, if you have a relationship between Tasks and Projects, where a Project has many Tasks, you could filter the list of Tasks by the Project Status.

After listening to our customers, we heard that people love the fact you can link Tables together to create relationships between the pieces of data in your custom app. For example, you can create Projects with linked Tasks.

Now when you are creating a Record, to create a new linked Record at the same time, simply click the New button next to the linked Table Field. Fill in the Fields, then click Save and both the Record and its linked Record will be created.

For example, when you are creating a new Task you can create the new Project the Task is for at the same time, rather than having to go back and create the new Project first!

Save time by making Gridfox do your calculations for you!

Formula fields let you perform calculations on the data in your Gridfox Project.

Just click the field, function or operation from the menu. And you’re good to go!

So you’ve invited your teammates to your new Gridfox Project, but don’t want them doing things they shouldn’t with the data?

We have added the ability to restrict which users can import and export data in Tables in your Projects. Simply open up the Group (in the Permissions section) and toggle the Import / Export permission on or off as needed.
