Bug report: Improvements in December

Release: Our November, 2016 update is here

This update enables you to display long-form text using formulas, enables fields to retain their values, improves reporting and allows you to collect long-form text from your users:

Feature: Multiple lines in text fields

Our November update will enable text fields to feature multiple lines. That may not seem all that significant, but has some interesting implications which we’ll explore in this post.

Sprinting toward the finish line

We launched the Calcapp beta early this year and have spent the entire year consistently improving the service. In June, we launched a major update with 244 formula functions, formatted numbers, a function browser, switches, text fields, date and time fields, reworked error handling and a brand new website. Our August release finally made it possible to share apps and to use them offline and improved the experience on Android devices. The September update added drop-down fields and hidden fields and fixed a large number of bugs.

Feature: Persistent fields

We’re hard at work on a major update, one that will enable cross-references between panels, allowing one panel to reference fields on another panel. That work entails making major changes to how Calcapp works under the hood. As a result, that work won’t be ready for our November update.

Feature: Reporting improvements

Support for sending data collected by an app through email or directly to a server you run was introduced in our October update. Based on feedback from you, we have tweaked some aspects and added a number of options. These features have been available since the beginning of November, meaning that you can use them straight away.

Release: Our October, 2016 update is here

This update enables apps to send data through email or directly to your server. It also makes it easier to navigate Calcapp Creator using keyboard shortcuts, makes the formula bar resizable and enables fields to be reset to their initial values:

Feature: Send app data to your own server

Our October update enables users of your apps to email reports to you. You can also send collected app data to a server you run.
