We are thrilled to announce the public preview of the data exploration agent, a powerful new tool designed to simplify the way you find records using complex filters. With the data exploration agent, you can now use Copilot and natural language to describe what you are looking for in the data, and let Copilot interpret your intent to provide the corresponding filtered records. 

Imagine needing to find opportunities that should be reviewed this week. Simply type the query “Opportunities closing in the next 3 months” and let Copilot do the rest! This feature allows you to shift your focus from manually filtering and crafting views to analyzing data and obtaining valuable insights.

Try it now! The data exploration agent is available immediately via manual opt-in and is being rolled out through the Monthly Channel using the “Natural Language Grid and View Search” admin setting.

We are excited to see how your daily workflows improve with this new feature and look forward to hearing your feedback as we continue to evolve the data exploration agent. Stay tuned for future enhancements!

We are pleased to announce a significant milestone in the control’s modernization journey for Canvas. Today, we are announcing the general availability (GA) of the following modern controls: Text, Text input, Number input, Combobox, Date picker, and Form. Utilizing these controls enables creators to enhance their applications with faster, accessible, and modern elements. 

Visit overview of modern controls to learn more about all modern controls.  

As part of this milestone, we would like to highlight the following: 

  • Text input has a trigger output property which can be used to control its onChange behavior 
  • Date picker’s custom format can be achieved by editing the “format” property with a valid date format, i.e. format = “dd/mm/YY”, format = “MM/YY” 
  • Combobox has a default limit of 800 records when using the dataset directly. However, makers can leverage PowerFX formulas in junction with the control’s searchText property to achieve dynamic searching and filtering on larger datasets, i.e.: Filter(<Dataset>, StartsWith(<Column name>, Combobox.SearchText)) 
  • When a Number input is used standalone (outside of a form), its value will never exceed the max or min boundaries and will always round values to either one of the closest boundaries 

We look forward to hearing your feedback and seeing the amazing apps that will be created with these controls!
