Workflow Wizards rejoice! You can now add a "Task" step as a part of your workflow. In a workflow, an admin can assign a user to a specific task in the workflow, which means they will be asked to complete a task in or out of the system when the workflow step reaches the assigned user. They can also hide, show or allow a specific section to be editable.

We heard you loud and clear: many of you want the ability to have a title for your forms. Today your dreams have come true!

The title of a form will now appear as a column on the "Submissions" page. Admins can now define a form title in form settings and that title will appear as a column on the submissions page. Users will now be able to more easily differentiate between drafts within the same app.

If reporting and exporting is your jam, this new feature should help you save some time. You can now export a CSV file that matches your current Document list view. This new feature will allow you to apply any filters including sorting, search queries, and visible columns to your CSV file. You also have the option to export all data.

You can find more documentation on how to export data from My Documents here.

This one deserves a little happy dance! You'll now be able to run calculations with numbers and currency, including sum, subtract, product, average, median, min, max, and count. You can also use calculations in a table with numbers and currency*. 

You can read the documentation here.

*Calculations won't work if users submit documents through the API directly

We’ve combined searches, filters, and reset into what's now called “Views”.

So what exactly is new?

You'll still be able to save searches and view saved searches, but now you'll do that all in "views". You can always go back to all Documents by clicking "Default View" in Views. Enjoy! 🤠

This one is for all of you nerds out there! You're now able to do fancy stuff like send data from a Build workflow through an integration, or even specific data from a form through an integration.

Full documentation can be found here.

Knock yourselves out with this one! You'll thank us later 😉

Today we're happy to announce that we've rolled out validation for fields in tables. It's a small thing but has a big impact. You can now do the same validations in a table that you do everywhere else in a form. We hope that makes your work just that much easier. Cheers!

We've added a small feature we call "Disable Submissions" which does exactly as advertised. When you click into "Form Settings" above the form builder, you'll find a new checkbox down at the bottom that looks like this:

When you check that box, it will immediately stop all incoming submissions, even if there are submitters with saved form drafts who haven't submitted yet. We know there are Build customers who have events and other limited access forms that need a hard stop of some kind. Well this feature should serve you well.

Submitters will see two alerts, based on their situation:

1. If they have the link for the form and submissions are already disabled, they'll see this:
   
2. If they've already started a form and saved it and then the submissions get disabled, they will see this:
   

We hope you'll find this feature useful. Thanks!

Happy Tuesday! And with that, we announce a feature that will help tame the big list of apps. We've rolled out Favorites to the Build Home Screen!

To make an app your very favorite-est, just check the "Favorite" at the bottom of the app display panel on the home page and save it:

When you do, it will be added to a "My Favorites" section at the top of the Home Screen. We hope you'll find this as useful as we do!

This is a small feature but has a big impact on reporting in Build. Until now, we didn't show draft documents in the Build Document List. A big reason for this was privacy. We knew our customers wanted this but we had to make sure the privacy was done right. Well we're happy to announce this feature is now live and we've addressed the privacy concerns in a way that should make everyone happy. 🤞

Some notes on this feature

• You get one chance - You can only enable document drafts at the first publish of an app. This is a one-shot decision. The reason for this is that we didn't want people to be able to turn this feature on later once drafts are saved without the submitter knowing about it.

• Only on Save - A draft is only created when the user clicks "Save." Before that, the document doesn't exist to anyone but the submitter.
• The submitter is alerted - When this feature has been enabled for an app, the submitter is notified when they go to save the document. This lets them know that administrators will be able to read their content.

• Drafts are not shared - When you share the data from "App A" with "App B", the drafts in App A are not available.

With the addition of this feature, you'll now have a clearer picture of where submitters are in the process. You will no longer wonder if people have started filling out a form or not.
