Major

  • Various miscellaneous dashboard fixes. Corresponding changesets and TFS items noted in additional notes. This version includes support for multiples, animation, pivot tables, multi-table support, and performance tab-based loading.

  • Gallery mode implementation for the applications screen.
  • Added form-based input grids. Input grids now come in three flavors (inline, form-based, and form-based collection).
  • Allow input grid columns to be Required in form-based mode. Required-ness can be controlled by a single boolean named range or another column in the form-based grid.
  • Form-based grids, added visibility feature to control visibility of controls in the form via single boolean named range or another column. Separated existing visibility into separate selection.

Minor

  • Performance improvement for visualizations during resize in the Designer (draw each visualization maximum once per 250ms).
  • Trigger calculations functionality added to the File Upload control.
  • Now allowing for deletion of a group with assigned users after prompting end-user that this will disassociate groups from those users.
  • Now allowing button events to trigger in VIEW mode, except for the SAVE event.
  • For better user experience when tabbing through fields, added previousValue for all single inputs and then comparing against previous value after calculation to determine whether or not to set the single input’s value.
  • Added input masks for Min/Max/Precision input controls depending on Text Mask value.
  • Added Size property to Slider control in vertical orientation.
  • Updated JSON serialization/deserialization library to latest.

  • For input grids, only overwriting cell values when the cell’s value has been changed by virtue of calculations.
    • Additionally, for calculator queue, counting the number of calcs that are queued up. If there is more than one, then moving to the last one, since it should contain all changes.
    • This helps prevent stacking of similar requests, particularly when entering many values quickly into input grids.
  • For inline input grids, applied a time buffer when sending calculation requests (1000ms). Makes inline grid UX feel better.
  • Increased length of [ActivityLogs].[LocationIdentifier] to 50 characters in order to support IPv6 addresses.
