Special Upgrade Instructions

Grid/Table Styling Changes

In version 8 grid rows were had alternating colours by default (white/grey). This is no longer the default since version 9.   This is no longer the default since version 9. To enable alternating colours the 'Grid Row Style' and 'Grid Alternate Row Style' can be set, see Restoring Grid/Table Styling from 8.3 below.

In version 8 grid cells had borders by default. This is no longer the default since version 9. Cell borders can be created by setting the top border in 'Row Styles' and a right border on 'Column Styles', see Restoring Grid/Table Styling from 8.3 below..

In version 8 grid rows were highlighted in green when the mouse hovered over them. This is no longer the default since version 9. This can be restored by setting the background colour of the 'Grid Row Hover Style', see Restoring Grid/Table Styling from 8.3 below..

All styles are listed below.

Restoring Grid/Table Styling from 8.3 

If you wish to restore the grid styling from PhixFlow Version 8.3, the following Styles can be updated in Administration → System → Configuration → Styles Tab → Style Settings, .add these styles to the Style's CSS Properties:

Grid Row Style:

    height: 18px

borderRight: 1px solid #d3d3d3

Grid Alternate Row Style:

    background-color: #e6e6e6

Row Selection Style:

    background-color: #07e51c

Grid Row Hover Style:

    background-color: #22FF37

Styling Review

Previously style attributes were wrongly being inherited even when they were not enabled in the parent style. This has been fixed. Applications should be checked to ensure their styling is still correct and that they weren't relying on the previously broken behaviour.

Read only Review

The Read only setting is now reliably inherited by child components, from their parent component. Behaviour of existing applications should be checked in case previous misconfigurations are now being applied. Any issues can be resolved by explicitly setting the read only option on the child components to override those inherited from the parent components settings

Schema Changes

Info

Schema changes are not required for this release.

Improvements and New Features

N/A

Bug Fixes

  • DEV-16294 - For views, in app mode, it will now only show the filters listed on the view in the section App Mode Filters. If you create the filter on the view grid itself, then it will be visible in app mode in the filter picker but if it is created elsewhere then it will not be available in app mode by default.

  • DEV-16575 - Background Filter Rules are now applied correctly to DropDown Fields backed by relational attributes.  The 'Add Filter' button now correctly add to the DropDown Fields backed by relational attributes.
  • DEV-16577 - Read only settings are now reliably propagated to child components.
  • DEV-16638 - Actionflows will now ignore incomplete record sets except those created in the same actionflow.

  • DEV-16656 - Default Application and Default Screen have been removed from User Configuration as they were not functional. Startup actions can be used to control which screen(s) an application initially displays for a user.
  • DEV-16658 - Deleting an Action Task from a task plan will now correctly delete the associated instance(s) of the actionflow.
  • DEV-16732 - Fixed regression where items were no longer being selected in a driven grid after a selection was made.
  • DEV-16712 - Embedded actionflows will always run their first phase regardless of the phase they are embedded within. It is not valid for the embedded actionflow to trigger other phases.
  • DEV-16728 - Fixed regression where the css property "Display: none" was being ignored. Components are now correctly hidden when this css property is set.
