Special Feature Spotlight: Query Data Source

Tired of the limitations that come with the 'Get Records' element? Our groundbreaking Query Data Source feature is here to change that. This feature allows you to create queries right within the Data Table component, providing a more direct and efficient way to manage large datasets.

Introducing the Query Data Source: A Game-Changer for Your Avonni Components in Salesforce

Overview

The Query Data Source feature offers improved data management for Avonni's Data Table, List, Carousel, and Map Components. It addresses several challenges presented by Salesforce's 'Get Records' method, making data handling more efficient.

Why You Need Query Mode

Comparison with 'Get Records' element from Flow Builder

1. Record Capacity: 'Get Records' can fetch up to 50,000 records. Query Mode does not have a limit.
2. Query Types: 'Get Records' allows basic queries, whereas Query Mode supports complex queries, including sub-queries.
3. Field Access: With 'Get Records', access is limited to fields on the queried object. Query Mode provides access to fields from related objects.
4. Dynamic vs. Static Queries: 'Get Records' mainly supports static queries. Query Mode offers dynamic query creation based on runtime variables.
5. Pagination: 'Get Records' does not support pagination for large data sets, but Query Mode does.

Advantages of Query Mode

1. Real-Time Updates: Data updates across components without needing manual intervention.
2. Flexibility: Easily filter, sort, and navigate data using Query Mode's settings.
3. Customization: Adjust data presentation and specific features in various components.

Components Powered by Query Mode

• Data Table: Define your data details.
• List: Customize your list views.
• Carousel: Visualize data interactively.
• Map: Access geographic data fields and set filters.
• Additional components will be supported soon.

In Summary

The Query Data Source offers an improved method for interacting with data in Salesforce compared to 'Get Records'. It provides a more dynamic and real-time data management approach, with increased customization options within Avonni's range of components.
