New Droplet Features

We are always working on something new. Here is where you'll learn all about any new features released in the past month and be able to look back at our historical updates. Please let us know if you have any questions about any updates you see here or would like to suggest a feature.

June 2024

Templates are Here!

We are so excited to introduce the Templates page within Droplet! This page is immediately available to all form builders. We have so many templates readily available for you to use and customize! Check out our Templates page, preview the forms, and click "Use Template" on any forms you want to add to your organization! This is just the beginning for templates. Be ready for more improvements and more templates to come!

Back Button in the Builder 

Now, when you access the Form Builder, it will open in the same tab. To return to Droplet, simply click the "Exit Builder" button.  If you prefer to open the Form Builder in a new tab, you can still do that! Just use CMD + click (for Mac) or CTRL + click (for Windows/Linux). 

New Builder Menu Options

Now, Within the builder, there are two new options in the three-dot menu. You can access the Preview to help you test and get feedback on the forms you are building. You can also get a shareable link to your published forms to start collecting submissions from your users directly from the Builder by clicking "Copy Link".

Reason for "Action" Updates!

The language in the dialog box when rejecting a submission has changed from "Reason for Rejection" to "Reason for Action". This change reflects the flexibility of the "Reject" action.

You will now see the entered "Reason for Action" in the Activity Log of a submission. This change will help you better understand, at a glance, the path of a submission through the workflow.

May 2024

Updated Menu Navigation: Our sidebar menu navigation has a new look and feel that can collapse and take up less space on your screen! You still get all the great functionality with more real estate when it comes to your submissions and forms. You will also be able to create a new form right from the menu!

April 2024

AI Expression Writing Tool: Introducing Droplet's AI assistant(beta) to help you write expressions in forms! Anytime you want to write logic, you can tell the Droplet AI assistant what you want to accomplish and it will write an expression for you! 

In this example, I want to conditionally display the "Years Employed" field only when the user selects "Yes" on the question asking if they are currently employed with Droplet Community Schools.

Submitter and Assignee filtering: You can now filter by the Submitter email or Assignee email on all submission pages! This should help you find submissions more quickly!

Activity Log now includes the Workflow Step ID: The Activity Log for submissions will now show you the associated Workflow Step ID for each action. This will make it easier to understand where the submission has moved in the workflow.

March 2024

Help Widget: Our in-app help widget got a face-lift! When you click the help icon, you will have in-app access to our powerful documentation as well as the ability to submit a support ticket directly from the widget! 

Support Tickets: Support tickets can still be submitted by emailing support@dropelt.io; however, there is now a portal where you can submit your tickets and then view updates our support team makes. Track your current support tickets and view your previous support tickets at support.droplet.io.

New Logo and Branding Changes: This one is probably very obvious if you've logged into the Droplet Platform. We are excited to release the new look of Droplet!

February 2024

Employees*: The Employees page was designed to work with onboarding packets for a streamlined approach to onboarding and managing employee data in Droplet. You can create an employee record, assign an onboarding packet and forms, attach files, and track progress on tasks for employees. 
*Please note that access to the Employees feature is only available with select Droplet packages or as an add-on to your current package.

Google Translations*: No need to go through the hassle of manually translating all the text on your forms. Now you can simply utilize the power of Google Translations to automatically translate all the text on your forms to 150+ languages! 

*Please note that access to the Google Translations feature is only available with select Droplet packages or as an add-on to your current package.

January 2024

Published Banner: A new published banner will now display on the visual builder as a reminder that you will need to create a new draft to make any changes. You can create a new draft directly from hovering over the banner!

Duplicate A Component: There is a new icon inside the properties panel of components that allows you to duplicate the selected component! 

Formatted Text Editor: You can now align part or all of the text using the rich text editor instead of the properties panel.
