Test Protogrid?

If you've landed on this blog article, you've probably heard of Protogrid before...
You didn't? Then you will find here all important information: About Protogrid

So, back to when you heard something about it. You've read all about the functions and about, how short the ROI is. You know where to register and what Startapps there are. Maybe you have already registered and worked through the Quickstart Tutorial.

But somehow you don't get to finally develop your own app. You are also not sure whether the effort is worth it. And to test the app then, you would have to register more users and somehow it is unclear to you which costs arise exactly.

Develop application

Then our new offer could convince you: Our Protogrid-Start-Packages. These packages include an analysis meeting, development of your app, training, support and user fees for your test run. And all this at a clearly defined price with money-back guarantee! So you can try out whether Protogrid is right for you with little time and expense.

Access now and start development this week. We are at your disposal:

Protogrid 1.7 is here!

Sonja Blum on 2020-01-17
We are pleased to announce the latest version of Protogrid: Version 1.7 is available!

Thanks to this new version of Protogrid life at work will be even easier: There is a new chat function with which you can reach us personally at any time. So you can pass through your ideas and wishes for your app and immediately receive actionable answers anytime. Thanks to this new offering, based on Drift, you can develop a Protogrid App in just 30 minutes which saves you 30 minutes every day from then on.


New chat function
Besides the new chat function, version 1.7 also offers improvements in the search area:
  • It is now possible to seamlessly search in views with active filters. This is useful, for example, if you want to find a specific appointment in the overview of all appointments for the next week.
  • Now you can sort views also by relation fields. For example, you can sort the dates according to the rooms booked. This includes not only the name of the room, but also its capacity, the address and an overview of past bookings.
  • In addition, you can now define the sorting of special cards yourself by adjusting the "get_sorting_string()" function in the ServerScript Library of the corresponding Proto.
In addition, many other optimizations were carried out. Especially the speed of all Environments could be improved by moving most of the actions into the background.

Are you curious? Or are you always too busy to tackle the really important things? Then enter your existing Protogrid Environment now or register your own new Protogrid Environment.

We are happy to announce that Protogrid Version 1.5 and 1.6 were rolled out in the first half of this year. There were lots of small changes and improvements, together with some larger extensions of functionality.
It is now possible to hide elements such as warnings or advanced actions! You might want to hide them in order to not confuse less experienced users or make it harder to perform some thoughtless actions.
Hide different elements To hide some specific elements, all you need to do is creating a new client Script Library and link it to your Default Card. You find all information in our Wiki. Additionally, the following extensions might be interesting for you:
  • Larger views and more entries in lists let you work even faster
