When an admin user is managing a Data Set, they might create sorting options, filters and actions. Until now, if the admin user chose not to show them to the end-user, they had to be deleted. From now on, these sub-entities can be deactivated, hiding them from the end-user without losing editing progress.

Key Benefits:

• Easier management of sub-entities without requiring deletion and recreation.
• Improved usability by allowing admins to configure visibility dynamically.
• More flexibility in defining experiences without modifying underlying data.

 

Improved the usability, functionality, and consistency of bulk actions in Frontend Data Sets across Liferay DXP. The selection behaviour of items has been refined, ensuring consistency in visualization modes, enhancing bulk action visibility, and making interactions more intuitive and efficient for end users.

Key Benefits:

• Preserve selection between pages of items so the user can easily select items from multiple pages.
• Add Select All and Clear buttons to allow users to easily work with large amount of items.
• Added contextual menu with access to all bulk actions available.
• Highlighted bulk actions to easily access more common actions.
