Is it possible to customize what fields are reset by a reset button?
How can an app designer determine what fields are included in a
report? Dave asked us these questions and received a lengthy reply
from our co-founder David.
Text fields with multiple lines work great for displaying text you
"calculate" using a formula. Read this tip to learn how to include
quotation marks in calculated text.
There is no built-in way to display a time duration in your apps, but
you can easily use formulas to achieve the same result. Read this tip
to learn how to display time durations like "1:05", indicating that
one hour and five minutes have elapsed.
Copy and paste panels, fields and other items. Use the new Panels
sidebar to reorder your panels and quickly navigate to them. Insert
panels anywhere in your app.
Our next release enables you to remove panels without also removing
the panels that follow them. As a result, you can now do things like
removing the first panel of an app without touching the rest of the
app.
Use our new copy and paste feature to copy fields and other items
from one panel to another or to copy entire panels. This is a great
way to copy data from one app to another.
The new Panels sidebar allows you to quickly move to individual
panels. You can also reorganize panels by dragging and dropping them.
For better control of your panel structure, copy and paste panels
instead.
Our next release will allow you to insert panels anywhere in your
app. You will also be able to copy and paste panels and fields and
other items. A new sidebar will give you an overview of your panels
and enable you to reorder them.
Spreadsheet formulas usually use position-based references like A2 to
refer to cells while Calcapp formulas use names. Rewriting formulas
manually when you're converting a spreadsheet to an app is tedious
and error-prone. This post explains how you can make Calcapp Creator
do the work for you.
Calcapp Creator will soon be much faster when editing large apps.
Changing a field name or caption will be up to 30 times faster and
memory usage is expected to drop to half of what we currently use. We
realized these gains by embracing modern web standards.
