New features and enhancements
Enhancements to the designer sidebar in App Builder
We gave a general facelift to the sidebar in the App Builder designer, reorganize the elements, restructure the layout, and generally make it more user-friendly.
New IDO from ION API Wizard
We created a new form wizard to create and populate IDOs from ION API endpoints. This new wizard also generates a custom load method and a standard method to invoke Get, Post, Put, and Delete actions from ION APIs.
Improved Web Designer accessibility
We created new shortcut key combinations specific for the Web Designer to aid all users. These shortcut keys allow users to easily move from one area to another and add components to a form panel. We also added theme support to allow users to select the theme or apply a custom theme.
Improved sub-report processing
Previously, each sub-report instance that was called by a parent report opened a new instance of the sub-report form. Depending on the setup of a report and the amount of data, one report could cause thousands of instances of sub-report forms to be run.
In this release, reports that use sub-reports now reuse or recycle sub-report instances. This change reduces memory usage and execution time.
Ignore case in conditional actions
You can add the new process default and set the value to 1 to allow input of case-sensitive conditions when you use these behavior properties:
- Visible When
- Required When
- Enabled When
- Theme Class When
- Conditional Action event handlers
Improved Application Event System auto-purge process
We modified the PurgeHistoryData event to limit the volume of application events that will be purged in any time frame. This change minimizes any negative impact to SQL Server resources.
