App UI Rejuvenation!
We're excited to unveil our App UI Refresh! This update marks a significant aesthetic revamp, infusing your apps with a fresh, modern vibe.

For starters, you'll notice subtle tweaks such as form fields with clearer, rounded borders and enhanced spacing. But these improvements are just the beginning—they set the stage for a larger effort to offer more extensive customization options down the line.

We hope these enhancements will make your form-building experience even more exciting!

Web Portal Multi-Language

USERLANG() Function
In addition to adding multi-language support to our web portal, we’re introducing the USERLANG() function. This feature makes your Forms more dynamic, allowing them to adapt to your chosen language in real-time.

It's a smart way to ensure your Forms are both functional and user-friendly for everyone, regardless of their language.

Here’s a quick overview of how it works:

The USERLANG() function dynamically sets values within Forms, such as populating a hidden field named user_lang with the user’s language preference (e.g., “Spanish”).

This enables the conditional display of Form fields, ensuring the content is tailored and relevant to each user’s language.

When a Form is submitted, actions like email notifications can be configured to trigger in the user’s preferred language based on the value of the user_lang field.

New “On Form Upload” Interaction 🤩

We’re excited to introduce a highly requested feature that will dramatically streamline your workflow, the "On Upload Interaction" property in the "Screens" property.

This new feature allows you to automate actions immediately after uploading a Form.

You can configure a variety of actions within your app, including:

- Opening a Screen or entry

- Printing Form entries

- Initiating tasks

- Crafting emails or SMS

- Dialing numbers

- Opening web pages or specific URLs

- Displaying map addresses or coordinates

Imagine completing a Form and seamlessly starting a new task or displaying a webpage without returning to the main menu. All of this possible with the "On Upload Interaction" property.

Field Name & Control Type in Formula Builder

Ever lost track of which field you were editing in the Formula Builder? We’ve fixed that by clearly displaying the edited field and property, making your formula editing tasks more intuitive.

Imagine you’re fine-tuning a timesheet – updating the total_time field to reflect the gap between start and end times. Then, unexpectedly, a call from your boss or a client comes in, turning into a 10-minute chat.

Thanks to our latest update, when you return to your Form, you’ll instantly see which field and property you were editing, making it easy to pick up right where you left off.

Dynamic Gallery Field Population
Linking Gallery Fields directly to Data Sources for dynamic content updates, mirroring the Table Field’s functionality. This enhancement allows you to display a diverse range of images from a Data Source within the app, providing a quick and comprehensive view.

Enhanced History Search
We’ve enhanced the History screen in the app with a search box, allowing you to quickly find specific historical entries using keywords. The History screen automatically retains entries for seven days, making it easier than ever to retrieve historical data.

Toggle Visibility for Password Fields
In line with the latest in security and user experience, we've added an option to show or hide the password field during login. This enhancement gives you greater control over sensitive information input.

Streamlined Connector Handling in Repositories
📣 Attention Enterprise Toolkit clients.
To ensure smoother transitions, Form Connectors and their configurations are now automatically replicated when moving Screens to a target environment via the Repository. This enhancement simplifies your workflow and guarantees a consistent setup across all your environments.
