Weflow changelog

A simpler way to create views

Based on your feedback, we made several changes to how changes to your pipeline views are either auto-saved or require a manual saving confirmation:

The following actions are auto-saved and overwrite the current view settings:

All these actions are commonplace and are expected to be persisted. On the contrary the actions blow are taking the currently loaded data and re-define them i.e. by using filters or switching from a Kanban to a Table view.

These actions are not auto-saved and require a manual confirmation by the user via the “Save” button:

• Calculation (Kanban)
• Card Properties/Fields (Kanban)
• Columns/Fields (Table)
• Sorting (Table)
• Cell Width (Table)
• Layout (Compact/Comfortable) (Table)
• Table/Kanban switch
• Columns (Kanban)
• Quick filters
• Group by (Kanban)
• Custom filters

A faster way to launch Weflow Search

Use CMD+J on macOS or ALT+J on Windows to launch the Weflow Search

The Weflow search is more than just a simple search. Here are all the things you can do with it:

Weflow search in itself is nothing new. However, now you can launch it more easily by hitting the CMD+J or ALT+J shortcut from anywhere in the Weflow web app.

If you have our Chrome Extension installed, you can use the shortcut ANYWHERE on the web to get quick access to your Salesforce records.

• Search for notes, tasks, or records
• Create new notes, tasks or records
• Find related records i.e. a contact or lead who is linked to an opportunity or account

A new design for your notes

From today on, you can enjoy a more intuitive and generally easier to navigate note list design. What does that mean?

Got feedback on the new design? Let us know!

• Notes are now automatically sorted by last edit
• All your notes can be accessed on the left-hand side allowing you to quickly switch between different notes
• While the panel is open, the note list is closed on smaller screens (but still visible on large screens)
• The note pad is about 30% wider giving you more room to scribble down your thoughts and ideas

Write Notes, faster! 🏎

We hate unnecessary clicks. They cost only seconds, but they add up quickly.

From today, when creating a new note, we auto-select the title so you can quickly give your note a name. Once you hit Enter, we automatically save that title and move the cursor down into the body section of the note. No mouse clicks needed anymore.

Should you ever feel like Weflow forces you to make unnecessary clicks, do let us know. We'd love to clean that up for you.

A new way for creating "Views" on your pipeline

Views are a powerful way to segment your data and work with 100% focus on your most important opportunities, accounts, contacts, leads…you name it!

Previously:

Now:

Bonus: We create 8 special views that will make it easy for you to navigate Weflow. Feel free to adjust them to your needs. Of course, we will continue to import your old Salesforce views as well. But we encourage you to create new ones if possible.

Got some time? Here is a 4 minute deep dive into using custom views in Weflow:

• When creating a new view, we based that new view on existing views that were imported from Salesforce
• This could cause issues, in case there were hidden filters the user could not change and adjust themselves
• All new views are built from scratch taking all record data for an opportunity type into account
• That means for you: Full flexibility on all fronts and pure freedom when creating your own new views

Quick Filter: Last Update

• The quick filter "Last Activity" has been renamed to "Last Update"
• It now not only includes the "Last Activity Date" field, but also the "Last Modified Date" field
• That means, you can now use it whenever you are looking for records that have been recently updates in any kind of form

The table pipeline re-imagined

After releasing the first initial version of our table pipeline, we ran hundreds of tests with customers and first-time users. Based on their feedback, we now re-imaged how the table pipeline should look like.

With the initial designs, we tried breaking away from dull-looking spreadsheets which can easily overwhelm you and are sometimes hard to comprehend and navigate. However, we quickly realized that there are also many benefits that come naturally with the classic "spreadsheet look".

Panel updates and pipeline in sync

Changes to fields are now instantly shown in the panel and vice versa

Please note: Updates to Salesforce fields in notes are only synced if you manually hit the "Sync to Salesforce" button at the top of the note

• A small but impactful improvement to reduce confusion when making fast updates to the pipeline via the panel or vice versa
• Whenever you make a change to a field in the panel it will be instantly updated in the pipeline or a Salesforce field in your notes
• The same is true if you make a change in the pipeline i.e. it will be shown immediately in the panel

Show active / inactive fields

You can now see the active fields at the top when adding columns or card properties to the pipeline views

• Previously, you had to search for fields no matter if active or not
• That was confusing and added extra effort to a workflow that should be easy and fast
• Hence, we are now sorting all fields alphabetically AND show active fields at the top (always)
• You can use this new menu for Field Sets in the Panel as well as the Table and Kanban view of the pipeline as seen in this short gif

Help & support section re-design

The help and support section at the bottom left of the sidebar navigation has been re-designed. It's a small tweak including a reduced font size and a transparent background so that it embeds more nicely into the overall app styling.

Default field set templates for the panel

Field sets feature more fields now per default in the panel.

The following fields have been added to the default fields in the panel:

Opportunities: Last Activity

Contacts: Account

Accounts: Industry, Revenue, Employees, Last Activity

If you have any feedback on the default templates, let us know.

Overwrite saved views

We admit it…saving views was not super intuitive in the past. This update makes saving new views or overwriting existing ones much easier.

Now, everytime you make a change to one of the following aspects of the pipeline, you can choose to overwrite the saved view or save it as a new view:

We hope this is transparent and simple for you. If not, let us know.

• Table columns (fields)
• Column width
• Sorting
• Position
• Card properties
• Calculation
• Kanban columns
• Group by

Create SFDC records even faster

Weflow now auto-selects the first input field when creating a new record and automatically jumps to the next line once you hit enter.

Up to 8 properties on Kanban cards

You can now add up to 8 properties on Kanban cards.

This was commonly asked for by you, our beloved customers. We listened, we fully agreed, we built, we shipped 🚀 Thank you for your feedback 👍

Need a full-focus mode for your weekly sales review meeting? We got you covered. Enable the full screen mode by toggling the menu via the arrow button at the top. It's quick and simple. Just as we like it.

Scrollable "My views" list

We had a few situations where if a user had an extensive list of saved views, then the menu to select them would not be able to contain all of them anymore.

Hence, we made your "My views" list scrollable. No matter how many views you have, Weflow has got you covered.
