SeaTable 3.5 is now available! We have updated SeaTable Cloud this morning at 6 am CET. The Docker image of SeaTable Server 3.5 can also be downloaded from Docker Hub.
Here just the biggest highlights of the new release. You find a more detailed description of SeaTable 3.5 in the Release Notes. We documented all changes – as always – in the Changelog.
Formulas in column 1: Leverage the power of formulas any column you want– yes, including the first column.
More periodic automations: Run all data processing operations automatically based on your schedule.
Conditional button actions: Define your own rule set as to when a button action is executed and when it is not.
Conditional lookups: Fine-tune your link formula column and lookup exactly the data you need.
Improved design: Enjoy a two-column layout in the rows details and a base log that has been freed from the confines of the side panel.
SeaTable 3.5 implements a character limit for long text columns. A long text cell containing text longer than 100.000 characters (roughly 25 DIN A4 pages) will only save the first 100.000 characters.
Another important change for users of SeaTable Cloud’s API: With this update, we have reduced the maximum number of rows returned in a single API call. In the past, a maximum of 10.000 rows were returned. Now, a response contains a maximum of 1.000 rows. Please check if this requires adjustments in your integrations.
Amazing update with many very useful features I have one problem/question though, when I open the apps window to add an app I only get the options Gallery and Data Query but not the Universal App. That is on 3.5 self-hosted Enterprise Edition. Am I missing something or is the Universal App only available for cloud users at this time?
I know the Universal App Builder is still Beta, but I already have some things for you:
Translated my german notes via google translate for the other users.
Edited: Users without an account cannot change data in the table (intended?). Also buttons cannot be pressed from unknown users.
Added: It would be awesome when the admin can decide which field can be edited by an unknown user.
Topic 2:
Add a new page (table)
Adding a new column as a base owner
The new column is not displayed in the table on the page
The new column will appear when creating a second page (table).
If you delete the column, it will be removed from the second page - Edit: Just found out newly added columns are just hidden. You have to manually make them visible
Topic 3:
Custom page changes do not affect for unlogged users (similar to issue 2)
Workaround (also for problem 2):
Remove and reassign the permission for “Allow unregistered users”. Then the changes are applied.
Edit: Benutzer ohne Konto, können keine Daten in der Tabelle ändern (gewollt?). Auch Schaltflächen können nicht gedrückt werden.
Added: Hier wäre es nett, wenn der Admin entscheiden könnte, welche Spalten bearbeitet werden dürfen und welche nicht.
Thema 2:
Hinzufügen einer neuen Seite (Tabelle)
Hinzufügen einer neuen Spalte als Base-Inhaber
Die neue Spalte wird nicht in der Tabelle auf der Seite angezeigt
Die neue Spalte wird beim Erstellen einer zweiten Seite (Tabelle) angezeigt
Wenn man die Spalte löscht, wird sie aus der zweiten Seite entfernt - Edit: Gerade gesehen, dass neu hinzugefügte Spalten als ausgeblendet angezeigt werden. Man muss sie manuell sichtbar machen
Thema 3:
Änderungen an der Individuellen Seite wirken sich nicht auf für unangemeldete Benutzer aus (ähnliches wie Problem 2)
Workaround (auch für Problem 2):
Die Freigabe für „Unangemeldete Benutzer erlauben“ entfernen und neu vergeben. Dann werden die Änderungen übernommen.
Topic 4:
- You cannot delete the last existing navigation element
Topic 5:
Edit: not relevant
Topic 6:
A column is hidden in the table overview
The column is no longer displayed
The column is displayed again via the menu on the right. After the automatic update, only the column that is shown again is displayed, the other columns are no longer displayed.
The web page is updated with F5
The column view is displayed as desired
Added: Topic 7:
The default value “0” is not being accepted in text fields and being resetted after deselecting and selecting again
German:
Thema 4:
Das letzte vorhandene Navigationselement kann man nicht löschen
Thema 5:
Edit: Irrelevant
Thema 6:
Eine Spalte wird in der Tabellenübersicht ausgeblendet
Die Spalte wird nicht mehr angezeigt
Die Spalte wird über das Menü rechts wieder eingeblendet. Nach der automatischen Aktualisierung wird nur noch die wieder eingeblendete Spalte angezeigt, die anderen Spalten nicht mehr.
Die Webseite wird mit F5 aktualisiert
Die Spaltenansicht wird wie gewünscht dargestellt
Added: Thema 7:
Der Standardwert “0” wird in Textfeldern nicht akzeptiert und auf leer zurückgesetzt nach dem Neuselektieren
What I did: I have two items in the navigation. I click on the three-dot-icon of the last item and select “Delete page”. The disappears.
Good one!
I cannot reproduce the issue. I can set the default value, leave the page and return to the page, the default value is still where and what it is supposed to be (see below).
Currently we are having a problem with forms, when choosing a link record column in a form it doesnt find the last records in the table linked. This problem started yesterday.
I think I might have a solution for you there because I had the same problem. It seems the last update has changed the URL of forms. Once I took the “new” one it was able to find all records again.
On a side note, I also had to re-insert most static image elements in Page Designer after the update as they somehow got lost.
I second this. It would be really useful to be able to send the link to anonymous users and allow them to modify records. I could also not make this work even with open access enabled.
I couldn’t agree more! I hope Seatable can allow anonymous users to edit specific rows/columns, as this would be very helpful when allowing people outside the organization to input data or run scripts
Another thing I am thinking of is, is there a way in the UAB to “identify” an unknown user?
For example an unknown user could be able to define his own settings. These settings would be stored as a cookie or in the browser based storage for example with the option to export these settings and import it on another computer again.
What I mean is at the moment I have to create one app for each user and redo any setting for each new app over and over again like groupings or filters.
Another approach would be to be able to copy UABs. In that case I would only have to set user based filters or so.
When I scroll the table (cursor is on the table) both scrollbars are moving. When I move the cursor between the two scroll bars I cannot scroll the table. It seems like the options panel is somehow interfering. I have some hidden columns on that table page.
I also found out the validation of text columns do not apply. When I enter some text via the form page the validation does not work. Maybe the dev team didn’t develop it yet?
In your form editor, when you create or edit a form you get a form URL. That is the one I was talking about. You just have to go in there again and copy/use the one in there instead of the one used before. At least that worked for me.
I have one problem/question though, when I open the apps window to add an app I only get the options Gallery and Data Query but not the Universal App. That is on 3.5 self-hosted Enterprise Edition. Am I missing something or is the Universal App only available for cloud users at this time?
