Labs
The Labs tool is a platform where experimental or alpha-stage features are introduced. These features can be enabled or disabled on a per-database basis.
You can access the Labs tool by navigating to the Setup > Database tab > Tools > Labs link.
In this section, you will also find links to corresponding ideas on the TeamDesk Idea Exchange where you’re welcome to provide comments.
It’s important to note that the features introduced in the Labs section are experimental in nature. They might be added, removed, or undergo changes in their implementation at any time. While some features may eventually become a part of TeamDesk, others might not. Therefore, it’s not recommended to rely on these features in a production environment.
The following features are available in the Labs:
- New UI: Please enable this feature to use the new user interface (codename: v3). Idea Exchange link
- Responsive Charts and Dashboards: Enable collapsing 2-column dashboards into a single column if the content does not fit. Render charts to the available width (versus fixed width). Idea Exchange link
- Adjust Font Size: Please enable this feature if you wish to decrease the font size and adjust spacing around certain elements, such as table and form cells. Idea Exchange link
- Grid Form Layout: The idea behind this is a grid of four columns. The section or control can accommodate from one (minimal width) to four (full width) columns, creating various ways to lay out controls and sections. Idea Exchange link
- Form Layout with Drag & Drop: The form’s setup page will display a "Edit Layout" button that allows you to reorder form elements using a drag-and-drop design concept. Idea Exchange link
- Graphical Representation of Formula, Summary, or Lookup Column Calculation: The column’s setup page (click on the link with the column name from the column list) will display a Dump button that generates the column’s dependency graph. Idea Exchange link
