  • A bug waas fixed that lead to problem when updating Cards. (since v1.1.4)
  • And last but not least, the big new feature of v1.2: Client Script Libraries and Triggers.

    The "Script Libraries" Card has been replaced with a new "Code" Card showing you all sourcecode related elements. Your existing Script Libraries are now found in the table "Server Script Libraries".
    Code Overview

    Triggers that you define on the Code Card can be added to Text- and Numbers fields in order to extend their action menu. More places to use Triggers will follow soon.

    Programming a Trigger is dead simple. You can specify code directly in the Trigger definition, ...
    Code in Trigger
    Code in Trigger Result

    ... or in the associated Client Script Library (for each Trigger you can choose one library to back it),
    Code in Client SL
    Call to Client SL
    Result of Call to Client SL

    ... or even in external JavaScript files that you attach to the Code Card.

Upcoming enhancements

We are currently accelerating the release schedule to bring you many new features, see also our updated roadmap.

For the next release 1.3 we will introduce unlimited CSV Card import- and export based on a new backend feature that allows us to run tasks in the background on the server. Furthermore we will extend the usefulness of the now introduced Triggers by adding them to programmable Buttons that you can add to the Card body.
