GT eForms 3.76.00 Release Announcement

April 24, 2026

The last 6 months have gone by in a flash! Gideon Taylor is very excited to share that the GT eForms 3.76.00 release is now available to download and install in your environments when ready.

This release brings a whopping 79 changes including 21 enhancements and 58 bug fixes! This represents a record number of enhancements for a single release, as well as a record number of changes overall. The enhancement list includes heavy-hitters like Math SmartSources, WCAG 2.1 AA compliant List View Grids (Scroll Areas), and configurable Format Rules, as well as a number of smaller quality-of-life enhancements. Between the enhancements and fixes, we hope that your GT eForms experience becomes better, more refined, and more stable than ever!

The complete 3.76.00 Release Notes can be found here, which we recommend you read. We had a tough time choosing only a handful of enhancements to highlight as part of this announcement!

Feature Release Highlights​

Math SmartSources​

Historically, performing even basic arithmetic in a form has required leveraging technical resources to build PeopleCode SmartSources and/or other code. This is no longer the case! Now functional users can build configurable Math SmartSources that enable a form to perform mathematical calculations without developer involvement. Specifically, Math SmartSources support the following mathematical operations:

  • Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division between two or more form fields and constant values
  • Average, count, max, min, and sum aggregate functions for an individual grid column
  • Date math to calculate values like the date that will be 30 days from today

List View Grids (Scroll Areas)​

Until now, GT eForms has delivered only one option for displaying multi-row content: grids. Grids provide a solid user experience in many cases but, in others, leave much to be desired. Sometimes, a grid is not the best way to visually organize data, and displaying data in that format can make it harder for users to read and interpret information. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, grids in PeopleSoft do not reflow appropriately to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

To address both of these gaps, GT eForms now supports rendering grid segments as scroll areas. Form builders can enable scroll areas for a form type, set a default rendering mode (list view or grid) for each segment, and then also allow users to toggle between the grid and list views on the fly.

Form ID Assignment Rework​

Historically, the GT Framework has assigned form IDs as soon as a user opens a form in the ADD task. The assigned form ID has also always been prominently displayed in the upper-right corner of the form (at least without technical intervention), even for transaction types and users where the form ID might cause more confusion than any usefulness it provides. 3.76.00 introduces two changes here to enhance user experience:

  • Form IDs will no longer be assigned until a form has been saved. Until then, the Form ID will say "NEW", which falls more in line with traditional PeopleSoft behavior.
  • Form types can now be configured to hide the Form ID information in the header altogether
note

This change will require that retrofits be applied to form types that leverage form IDs before save processing. GT has documented common use cases and how to handle their retrofits TODO add link.

Format Rules​

Another common form requirement has been to validate the format of data entered for certain field types, e.g. a phone number field needs to look like an actual phone number, an email address field needs to look like an actual email address, etc. Historically, this has required technical work or using delivered PS fields, which had limitations. 3.76.00 introduces Format Rules which empower functional users to configure regular expression patterns that can then be used to validate user input. Now, instead of asking a developer for help, a form builder can, for example, define a phone number Format Rule and then leverage it to validate user input across any phone number field for any form type.

tip

If writing a regular expression seems daunting, or you've never even heard of it before, AI is really good at writing them, and there are a lot of great, free regex builders online.

Planning to Apply the Service Pack​

This release must be applied on top of our 3.70.00 or 3.75.00 versions. If you're on an earlier release, you'll need to upgrade to 3.70.00 beforehand, but you may then go straight to 3.76.00 without first applying 3.75.00. If you are already on 3.70.00 or 3.75.00, the upgrade package and instructions are available in the Online GT Library > Documents > Framework Updates > 3.x > R3.76.00.

As always, we recommend applying the upgrade in a development environment and running a testing cycle before moving to production. Our support team is ready to assist with any questions or issues: support@gideontaylor.com.
