- Flow support for components
- Due to unforseen issues with the original FirmWorks Geo package (namespace firmworks)—We have re-released FirmWorks Geo as “FirmWorks-Geo” with it’s own firmworksGeo namespace. The new package and the old package can be installed concurrently (although confusing as many things are named the same). The removal of the FirmWorks Geo package with the namespace “firmworks” is neccessary to use any other FirmWorks products.
- Support searching from geo coordinates – easily get coordinates from a provider like Google Maps and enter it into the address field – this bypasses API call outs to geocode the address. The accepted values – are valid decimal latitudes and decimal longitudes separated by a comma.

- 45.019120, -76.898557
- 0.5, 0.5
- Added ability to limit results returned – helpful for areas where thousands of results causing performance degradation.
- Updated all metadata to v59.0
- Modified firmworks__Nearby_Setting__mdt from Package Protected to public
- Modified Permission Sets to include Custom Metadata
- Introduced Interop – Component Group Alias
- Because the search, list and map components work via client side events – adding multiple components (via tabs or other layout) resulted in inconsistent behavior.
- The design time configuration can be set with a unique arbitrary custom value so that the search/list/map and other components can subscribe to the same group that have the same setting.
- List component now can show a driving directions button which can be turned on/off in design – this feature opens a google.com directions screen for the first 23 addresses in the list component. The url can be subsequently shared to a phone for drive navigation.
- List component can now hide the download button
- Introduced contextId in search – If adding the search component to a record layout – a filter can be set to provide subsets
- for example the search component can be added to an account layout, it can be configured to show a contacts map and list
- Create a filter on the Contacts Mailing Configuration – Add ‘(AccountId = :contextId)’
- From within the configuration for the search component on the account layout – set the default filter list and set the filter to the one you created
- Rebrand from “Nearby” to “FirmWorks Geo”
Enhancement
- Map component and List components can now be placed in tabs or other deferred rendering sections aiding with dynamic and smaller page layouts
