Notes | Critical Note: We have implemented an optimization using Composite API during catchup sync to improve performance If you are running Salesforce Field Service app within Pulsar, please make sure to install the latest Pulsar FSL beta file.
Sync: Uses Composite API when appropriate to improve catchup sync performance Improvement to push changes API call that was implemented in 9.0to read back the records Improvement to the dynamic re-sync algorithm to handle relationship sync configuration changes on the server After sync trigger now runs right after the core sync instead of waiting for the document download which could take a while (some orgs can have thousands of files to download) For orgs that deal with millions of records changing from batch jobs and making catch-up syncs very long, there is a new setting you can use to detect this and mark tables for resync. This will address the issues with very long catch-up syncs when large changes happen on the server Support for a new setting to run record reachability on subsequent passes. This is implemented to address use cases when a server trigger changes a record visibility after the local updates are pushed to the server from Pulsar Retrieve Field Service Mobile Settings via SFDC userSettings endpoint and store in a local property. Previously we relied on syncing MobileSettingsAssignment object to determine which SFS mobile settings to use but community users don’t always have access to this object. This change will address that. Note that you do need to update the FSL file in your org for this to work.

Notes | Critical Note: We have implemented an optimization using Composite Graph API when sending creates and updates to Salesforce when appropriate to improve performance. If you are running Salesforce Field Service app within Pulsar, please make sure to install the latest Pulsar FSL beta file.
Sync: Uses Composite Graph API in place of REST API. You can enable this with a Pulsar setting: Pulsar does not query LeadStatus object by default anymore. Customers need to add this object to the sync settings if required.
Security: New Features: Allow duplicate records to be created. Either of the below settings will allow the duplicate to be created/saved even if alerts are enabled via duplicate rules, without displaying any alerts or interrupting sync. The content can be a list of sobject API names. Note this will NOT merge any records, that is a separate concern.
Retired Features: UI Changes: Online status indicator on the bottom left now properly displays the number if it is greater than 99. Moved ‘Delete local changes’ out of advanced settings per customer requests. Pull to refresh on an object detects server file deletes and updates the local record.

A new Pulsar setting pulsar.fsl.layout.serviceappointment.displayChoice will allow PSL to be executed to determine if the user will see the overview screen or the standard Salesforce object layout. Pulsar SFS UI Customizations
SFS Work Plans: SFS Service Report: Flows: Various bug fixes also included! iOS – Uploading multiple files at the same time now works. Note this has to do with Files/Documents. Uploading multiple pics always worked. SQLite query on xPulsar allows you to query user vs. sync db. Useful for developers when debugging issues. Added 3 missing translations. FSL UI now refreshes itself after an update is made to a record through the native object interface. A bug fix in updating the geolocation field when a user has mixed locale settings on their Windows machine. A bug fix in Turkish language support since the system call toLowerCase has a specific issue with this language. A bug fix in SFS UI for displaying decimal points for quantity consumed field in the Products Consumed object. A bug fix in SFS in parsing the inventory tables.

Release Date | 15-Mar-2022 |

Notes | Critical Note: With this release we have switched the default online mode back again. We changed this behavior in release 6.0.0 when we rolled out the background sync feature and we needed to be extra careful in not causing conflicts. We have also changed sync behavior to play updates to a record chronologically. Previously the app used to send all updates as one update to the record. This would help avoid some server-side trigger validation errors. The default behavior will continue to be the same but you can enable this by enabling a new Pulsar Setting pulsar.sync.enableChronoChanges to TRUE. License validation check behavior change – Starting with 8.0, we have implemented 2 levels of licensing i. Premium – with restrictions on product functionality ii. Unlimited – with no restrictions. To be fair to our existing customers, all existing customers will be treated as Unlimited customers, so you will not see any change to Pulsar’s functionality. Now you can upload files up to 2GB Pulsar used REST API calls for File creation and that limited the size of the file that can be uploaded to Salesforce to 38 MB. We are switching to using SOAP API that will allow you to be able to upload files up to 2GB in size. Please bear in mind, the larger the file, the longer it will take to upload to Salesforce.
Sync: Default online mode. Chronological updates.
New Features: Download all custom HTML documents and resources on initial sync Pulsar did not support this scope before. With this release, user will be able to go offline immediately and still be able to access the custom UI pages you have built.
Retired Features: Native signature pad functionality that was no longer used by any customer. Its functionality was limited, and most customers have written custom UI where this feature was needed. Old barcode scanner settings for lookup fields since the default behavior changed to include this feature for all lookup fields and perform a full text search for the scanned code.
UI Changes: User is able to edit the Title and Description of the attached File object. Fixed an issue with font size on picklist window. Fixed an issue where custom button icon was not honoring an image uploaded by the admin.

Flows: Various bug fixes also included! Added missing French-Canadian translations. Adjusted UI elements on the email log screen to accommodate long translations for button names. Added support for launching Salesforce standard reports in lightning mode. Fixed a race condition where a duplicate record might be created when launching custom HTML code from a beforeSave action. A lot of log output was changed to be printed in Debug mode to make log files more concise. Fixed a crash that happens when you perform search in Files related list.

Version | 7.0.x |
---|
Release Date | 15-Nov-2021 |
---|
Notes | Critical Note: Sync: We have implemented the following optimizations to speed up catchup sync. Optimized processing server deletes. Optimized database merging of records Eliminated unnecessary index building work Eliminated some sync stages in pass 2 to speed up the process
Shortened catchup sync banner message, so it will fit in one line.
New Features: Support for Assigned to me scope in the list view for Service Appointments Support for Event list views. Previously, Salesforce did not publish activity list views. Now that there is support from Salesforce, the list views are also supported in Pulsar.
Retired Features: UI Changes: Custom buttons: No changes required to existing implementation, but we now support a new setting for specifying custom buttons to hide/display certain buttons based on PSL logic. iOS Sync conflict resolve screen improved. Formatted text fields now show HTMl tags correctly.
JSAPI Methods: Existing methods: New methods:
PSL Actions: Existing Actions: Custom Label PSL now supports reusing a variable name in a subsequent block. It will also fall through to default language if you used an invalid locale name as a parameter. Earlier, if you reused the variable name, it would not have worked. No changes required to existing implementations. AppendToVar now supports spaces and semicolons as part of the string literal. It used to parse the first semicolon and disregard the rest and some customers needed to use ; as part of the string to specify multi picklist values. SetLocation/SetlocationInMemory: Added an extra parameter to support location accuracy. If you are using SetLocation or SetLocationInMemory actions, you can pass this extra parameter to control the accuracy.
New Actions:
FSL Notifications: FSL LBM Customizations: Flows: New Languages Supported: Various bug fixes also included! Fixed a crash when you try to reference an unknown PSL variable. Instead of crashing, it would just report it to the logs. Fixed a minor issue with deleting an Order (Salesforce standard object) from Account related list. Fixed a minor issue to allow the + button for OrderItem (Salesforce standard object) to launch a custom HTML file. Fixed a performance issue in iOS when calculating formulas. Minor fix to date picker on Pulsar calendar screen, so it dismisses correctly. Minor fix to related list fields to fix checkbox field display. Add 2 missing German translations.

Release Date | 15-Sep-2021 |

Notes | Critical Note: As of this release, Pulsar will be using a two-database setup to facilitate a non-blocking sync. This means when sync is running, user interaction will not be blocked except during two relatively brief stages (i. Schema change related database migration ii. index building). Please note that this is a major overhaul of how we maintain state tables and other critical operation information. We have run our internal testing rigorously to test every component of the core application but only you can test your complex implementations. So please make sure to test this release well and let us know if you see anything break. There will be a database migration step when users upgrade from 5.1 to 6.0.
New Features: Non-blocking sync. Added support for launching a VisualForce page via Salesforce Quick Actions. Added support for uploading and annotating Files via Flow and Related screens. Added support for uploading multiple photos into Rich Text Fields.
Retired Features: Sync Changes: UI Changes: Implemented new UI for multi edit action for the related list – only applicable to iOS. Added support for using the front camera on Surface 4 tablets – only applicable to Windows 10. Show default value of ‘None’ for a picklist if that is specified on Salesforce – worked as expected on iOS before. Fixed on Android/Windows 10 with this release. Support to preview the image on the Flow screen. Added support for showing Checked Vs. UnChecked checkboxes in list views as opposed to showing string values. Windows shows the filename Vs. the content library id when you open to view a file from related list – only applicable to Windows 10. Fixed a rotation issue – only applicable to Android. Added a button to advanced settings page to delete and resync image cache (this applies to Service report template header and footer images. The setting will force download them again). Various new translations for button names and app messages are added.

Notes | Critical Note: User Agent string is changed to include the string "pulsar" (in lowercase and of course without the quotes). This will help customers to correctly identify connection attempts to Salesforce from Pulsar. Starting with this release, Pulsar will set FALSE value for checkboxes if that is the default specified on Salesforce. In the past, the value stored in the local database used to be NULL. * Please thoroughly test your PSL and custom code if it was dependent on this default value.
New Features: Retired Features: Sync Changes: Metadata tables (__mdt) will be synced during the initial sync without requiring a catchup sync. Pulsar will let the server assign the ShareType property for files uploaded from Pulsar. (This property is on the ContentDocumentLink object). Skip downloading all content documents the user can view. Sometimes users have org wide open share on files uploaded by users. Sync will by default skip downloading them.
UI Changes: Online status button will only be shown on the home page. Customers can enable it on list view and object pages with a setting. iOS will revert to using wheel-based time and date pickers since the latest iOS picker is not very user friendly. Online search will display an activity indicator. Help text will be supported for Checkbox fields. Picklist controller will auto adjust size to accommodate longer entries. Textboxes on Android will support multiple lines. Object list views will honor default sort order clause.

Notes | Critical Note: Pulsar FSL Beta File New Features: Custom Notifications Salesforce platform enabled custom notifications to help customers deliver mobile push notifications upon specific process or event execution. This versionof the Pulsar application supports receiving those notifications on the mobile client. To learn more about Salesforce custom notifications, please visit: https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=sf.notif_builder_custom.htm&type=5. Note: You would also need to update your Pulsar Settings (Pulsar Premium) AppExchange package to 5.0 in order for this feature to be fully functional.
Online Search in list views Some of our customers who download a subset of the data to the device for full offline functionality would like to be able to search Salesforce records if that specific record is not found in the local database. With this new feature (enabled by a specific Pulsar Setting), when you search for an item and it is not found in the local database, the app will give an option to perform the search on Salesforce server. When they find and choose the record they are looking for, it will be stored to the local database ready for future offline usage. Note: This additional online search will only work if you are connected to the network. If the device currently has no connectivity, it won’t be able to do the online search.
Pulsar deep link invocation now supports launching a custom HTML document. Documentation here: https://luminix.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PD/pages/1052966913/5.+Pulsar+Deep+Links iOS : Improvement to performance when interacting with Native Pulsar object windows from custom HTML. No functional/behavioral/navigational changes here except for performance improvement.
Retired Features: UI Changes: iOS/Windows/Android: lookup and text fields now support using the barcode reader to fill the field iOS: Slight UI improvement to guide the user to rotate the phone to landscape mode when scanning a barcode Windows – Minor UI change to prevent the sync banner appearing in a pop-up page in desktop/laptop mode Windows and Android – Slight improvement to date format display to match Salesforce browser
JSAPI Methods: Existing methods: JSAPI Update method has been changed to apply trim function before executing the SQL query to be more helpful to developers. This should not change/affect any of your custom code because if there were extraneous characters in your query before this release, the query would not have worked anyway and it would have forced you to fix your code ViewObject() JSAPI call will now recognize ContentVersion and actually open the file as opposed to the wrapper object. This will not impact any other object. So unless you are using viewobject method for ContentVersion specifically, this doesn’t change anything else.
