- Expandable RTF and multi line fields in reports

- Extended localization
- - - - - - - - - -
Now let's explore each of these updates in more detail!
Deluge AI assistance
We’ll be redefining your scripting experience in Deluge by integrating AI capabilities directly within the Deluge editor. Our intelligent assistant, Zia, will be available within the Deluge editor, ready to make your life easier.
Here’s how Zia can help:
- Generate scripts: Simply type your requirements and Zia will instantly produce a production-ready script. Zia smartly analyzes your application's data and provides scripts with context relevant to your app.
- Optimize scripts: Zia can also make your existing code much better. Copy any section or the entire script and prompt Zia to “optimize the script", and Zia will provide you with a refined version.
How does it work?
Once the feature is released, you’ll see a Zia button at the top of the Deluge editor. Clicking it will open the Zia Deluge Assistant, where you can type in your prompts.

Rapid error messages in Deluge editor
We've come up with a new enhanced Deluge editor to further improve your coding experience. Our Deluge editor now detects coding errors as you type. These real-time intuitive error messages will highlight issues right when they occur. No more holding your breath and playing the guessing game with your code!
Note: This is a beta feature, and rollout will happen gradually over time.
Where do I find them?
The new rapid error messages will be displayed in all places (workflow actions, page scripts, and the like) where the Deluge editor is currently available within Creator.
How do I benefit from this?
By providing you with an at-a-glance breakdown of what went wrong, the enhanced Deluge editor will result in less time spent on debugging and ensure your scripting experience will be more intuitive, efficient, and streamlined.
Applicable for: C5, C6
Availability: All DCs

QR code and barcode generator
We’re introducing a built-in QR code and barcode generator, allowing you to easily create QR and barcodes based on the data input in fields.
Use case: For example, in an inventory management system, you can automatically generate a QR code or barcode for each product based on its unique ID or serial number entered into the system. When data is entered into the relevant fields, a corresponding QR code or barcode can be instantly generated, which can then be viewed in reports, printed, or sent in emails. This will enable easier scanning for tracking or accessing product information.
How do I benefit from this?
This feature streamlines processes in numerous use cases, helping to reduce manual work and increase efficiency. Additionally, this feature eliminates the need for any third-party tools to generate QR codes.

Expandable RTF and multi line fields in reports
Long content in rich text and multi line fields can sometimes disrupt the flow in reports. To improve readability in such scenarios, we’re introducing an expandable option for these fields. When enabled, users will see a content preview with a Show more option to view the full text and a Show less option to collapse it back. Instead of scrolling through long text fields, you can preview essential information and expand it only when needed. This feature will be available in both the quick view and detail view of list and spreadsheet reports.
Where do I find them?
Once this feature is live, you can find it under Configure Fields in the report builder. Under the Display tab for multi line and rich text fields, you’ll find an option labelled Fold Content.

Report export customization
To improve the readability of subform data and composite field data, we’re introducing enhancements that provide more customization options when exporting reports. These options give you the flexibility to choose how the data should be exported.
Going forward, when exporting reports as XLSX files, you'll have enhanced options for where you can choose how to export subform fields and what subfields to export.
You can choose from the below three choices:
- Single column (Default): All subform data is exported in a single column.
- Separate column: Each subform column appears as a separate column within the same sheet.
- Separate sheet: All subform records are exported to a new sheet in the XLSX file, with references to the parent ID.
Additionally, you’ll have the same flexibility to configure how fields like Name and Address are exported, also allowing you to choose specific subfields present in them. This customization option will be available across all export formats.
For such fields, you can choose to export them as:
- Single column: The subfields will be in the same column.
- Separate columns: Each subfield will be in a separate column within the same sheet.
How do I benefit from this?
This allows for better organization and improved readability, ensuring your data is presented in a more structured and easily analyzable format.

Enhanced Localization
We'll be expanding the localization options for Edit mode and Admin Dashboard when the User’s browser language option is selected. We'll be adding support for 5 new languages (Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Hungarian, and Dutch). Further, going forward, we'll also support all regional variants of Spanish.
Business value
Extended localization enhances user experience by enabling you to interact with Creator in your preferred language.
