This update brings cross-references, enabling you to build large,
interconnected apps. Flag suspicious values with data validation and
send reports as PDF files.
Use cross-references to refer to other panels with our next release,
enabling you to build truly large, inter-connected apps. This update
also lays the groundwork for calculated properties, which are coming
soon.
Use data validation to flag invalid values with our next release.
Specify allowable intervals for number fields to determine validity.
A later release will allow you to use formulas to determine if a
field is valid or not.
Customize the sender of reports that are emailed from your apps with
our next release. Soon, you will also be able to determine the sender
using a formula.
Access the formatted values of fields from formulas and prevent
persistent fields from being reset with our upcoming release. Also,
apps will look better on desktops and on tablets and the app creation
experience will be improved.
If your app isn't in English, your users are not getting a great
experience today: Numbers may not be formatted correctly and some
messages are displayed in English. We're working to improve this
situation.
Cross-references will be available in February and calculated
properties will be available in March. Once we end the beta, pricing
will likely depend on if your app is for private or public use.
Calculated properties will make your apps considerably more powerful.
Starting with our next release, fields will be given names based on
the captions you type for them at all times. This makes formulas
easier to read. You can still assign names manually.
With our upcoming release, you will be able to reference fields that
are part of other panels in formulas. You will also be able to use
formulas to determine if a field is visible or a button is enabled,
the color of a field, the recipients of an emailed report, and more.
