What's new in Parabola

Filtering rows and if else logic are at the heart of every Parabola Flow. We’ve given both steps a massive upgrade to make them faster, easier to use, and more powerful

Both steps have access to series of new operations:

• Filter dates to… (filter dates relative to now or a set date)
• Is unique (is the value in each row unique within that column)
• is not unique (is the value in each row not unique within that column)
• Text is equal to (equals but assumes text - faster than “is equal to”)
• Text is not equal to (equals but assumes text - faster than “is not equal to”)
• Text starts with (matches the first part of a cell)
• Text ends with (matches the last part of a cell)
• Text length is (length of cell = #)
• Text length is greater than (length of cell > #)
• Text length is less than (length of cell < #)
• Text matches pattern (regex match)
• Text does not match pattern (inverted regex match)
• Is between (between two numbers)
• Is not between (not between two numbers)

Text field level options - accessible via the settings cog icon on the right side of any text field:

• Each text field can be toggled to evaluate what has typed in as a math expression, instead of just text. You can type numbers or reference them from columns using {merge tags}
• Each text field can be toggled to match based on the casing provided, or ignore the casing of the text

Add If else column step-specific updates:

• Choose to replace value in an existing column, as opposed to only create values in a new column
• Add additional criteria to a single condition. This was already supported in the Filter rows step. For example, define a list of items that a field may be equal to.
• To accommodate all of these amazing features, the Add if else column step has a new design that is more compact and easier to read
