Hello,  

I'm using the Data Table and I have added the columns that I'd like in the Download, they display correctly when it's shown in Salesforce, however when I open the downloaded file, it has added other columns that I haven't included.

Hello, I'm using the data table component and I have created a header action to export the table. All is working as expected and no errors but when I click on the download button I have created and selected the format etc it just doesn't trigger the download. Nothing happens. Any ideas?

Hi - I am using the Metrics component, with both a primary and secondary value. When I turn on the trend color and icon, I believe it is reverse what is should be. This would be a negative trend in my image, but it shows as positive. I could be missing something.  

Incorrect Trend Direction?

    Hi @Kevin Pathiakis

     

    This usually happens because the trend direction is based on how the metric is interpreted, not just the value change

    Check: 

    •  Whether your metric is set to “Higher is better” vs “Lower is better”
    •  The comparison logic (current vs previous)
    •  If your secondary value is being treated as a baseline or delta

    If “lower is better” (e.g., cost, errors), a decrease may show as positive (green)

    Adjust the metric settings accordingly to match your use case.

Hi all,  

 

We are trying to add details from a related record to an experience cloud layout. We have a Case with a related Application which we would like to display on the page. I've tried using {!recordId.application__r.Id} and {!record.application__r.id} but neither work. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

    Thanks for the detailed info, I also saw that the related list cmp by Avonni, but not sure whether they are going to work on EC or not.

Hello Avonni Components Community Group, 

We are implementing a Contact Record Detail Component with Custom Layout on Experience Cloud. Somehow, the updates made to the Full Name field or to the Mailing Address field (any of the Compound fields) is not retained when I save the record. If I use Full Layout which is using Salesforce Native Record Detail Component, the changes are saved. We had to either split the compound field and display individual fields or we had to not display Picklist fields. Can someone suggest how we can fix this and have just the compound field displayed and allows edit and Save. Thanks a lot.

    Hi Janardhana

     

    Thanks for sharing this

    What you’re describing does sound like unexpected behaviour, and potentially a bug.

     

    I just wanted to check if you’re still experiencing this issue. If so, could you reach out to us at

    support@avonni.app

    so we can take a closer look and troubleshoot with you directly? 

     

    If you’re able to include details like your component configuration, and screenshots, that would help us investigate. 

     

    Thank you, 

     Sarah

Hello ,  

I am building a Data Table and I want the Data Table to have a blank background if I have an empty Resultset. I want to show my component with empty Resultset but not with the default Salesforce Lightning Illustration. It seems I can configure the Header section in Appearance menu ( to change the color) but I am not finding the option for background of my complete Data Table ( and not show the No results text as in this image) . Can you please suggest how I can achieve this. Thanks.

    Hi Janardhana

    Apologies for the delayed reply here, we somehow missed this message. 

     

    At the moment, this isn’t something that can be customized. The empty state illustration follows a standard Salesforce pattern, which our components currently adheres to. 

     

    That said, we understand the need for more control over the appearance. 

     

    Please reach out to us at support@avonni.app

    so we can log it as a feature request and consider adding it to our roadmap. 

     

    Thank you, 

     Sarah

Hi, I'm running two SF orgs with Avonni Flow Components 6.18 

 

On the one, Avonni Flow components are working greate on our public-facing Experience Cloud site. On the other, the component fails to load without any error message. It's just not there. 

 

I'm thinking permissions issue, but I have checked the setup of the two orgs and it appears identical, and I have followed every step twice from the guidance. 

 

Any ideas for how to trouble shoot / identify the issue?

    Hi @Anders Litzell here's some questions to try and diagnose:

    1. Within Site Builder, you've verified the Flow component is on the desired page?
    2. Is the site published and active?
    3. Have you granted flow access to the site Guest User Profile?

Hi all, I am currently experimenting with the Avonni Document Scanner, and was looking for a little clarification. Since I am still in discovery, I don't have firm objectives, but I am hoping to use the doc scanner as part of an in-house business card to contact scanner. 

 

My current idea is to have users scan a business card and then map the proper fields using picklists. This could change, but that's the easiest mobile experience I have seen. 

 

The output I have been getting is a comma separated list, and I wasn't sure if there is a straightforward way to get from the value collection to a choice collection set.  

 

Thanks for your thoughts, 

-Ben

    Thanks for your response Cedric. To clarify my question, what actually is the output from the component? Depending on if it is a comma-separated list, a collection, etc; I should be able to work with logic in the flow to break up/reassign values. While auto-mapping would be nice, I figured that would be out of this components scope. 

     

    Could you confirm what format the component outputs for me?

I'm currently using Avonni Flow Components 6.4 (04tKY000000xX6C) and things are working great. In light of your partnership announcement, it appears that the path forward is with the 40+ App Builder, Experience Sites and Dynamic Components

package? If so, what is the upgrade process?  

 

Also, what are the major differences between the above package and the 70+ Flow Components package? When should I use one versus the other?

    This is a great question, Jack! To clarify, the new package is not a replacement for your current Flow components; instead, it’s a complementary solution

    designed for different parts of Salesforce. 

     

    Think of it as having two different toolsets for two different jobs: 

     

    1. The 70+ Flow Components Package (What you have now)

    • Where to use it: Exclusively inside the Salesforce Flow Builder.
    • Best for: Guided, multi-step processes and wizards that require moving a user from Screen A to Screen B.

    2. The 40+ App Builder & Experience Components Package

    • Where to use it: Inside the Lightning App Builder (Record Pages) and Experience Builder (Sites).
    • Best for: Enhancing your actual page layouts or building customer portals. These components live directly on the page and don't need to be wrapped in a Flow to work. Use this when you want to add high-performance, reactive components (like timelines or data tables) directly onto an Account page or a public site.

    Is there an "Upgrade" process? No upgrade or migration is necessary. Because they serve different purposes, both packages can (and often should) coexist in the same org.

    Your existing Flows will continue to work exactly as they do now. 

     

    When to use one versus the other?

    • Use Flow Components when building a process-driven "wizard."
    • Use Dynamic Components to enhance a Record Page or build an Experience Cloud site.

    The real power comes when you use both together. For example, you can build a Dynamic Component for a Record Page to display data beautifully, and from that component, launch a Screen Flow

    (via a dialog or panel) to handle complex user interactions. 

     

    This creates a powerful extension of the no-code solution builder in Salesforce—giving you total flexibility over both the page layout and the business logic.

     

    I hope this helps clear up the path forward!

I want to display a Salesforce formula field value in a Avonni Column  Object. The formula field returns an icon and is not showing on the fields list to drag and drop into the column. If I can't do the salesforce field is there a way to display an image based on simple algorithm based on salesforce date field. Show a Green flag when closed date is after or equal today and red flag if close date is before today.

    Great suggestion @Eric Burté. Based on Eric's suggestion, @Lewis Blau building on Eric’s idea: in the Avonni Data Table, add your formula field as a column and set its type to Rich Text. That way, the formula’s image output will render in the table 

    Great suggestion . Based on Eric's suggestion, building on Eric’s idea: in the Avonni Data Table, add your formula field as a column and set its type to Rich Text.

     

     

    Hope this helps.
