Many thanks to all of the many UX testers and customers who’ve recently helped us improved our platform and products. There have been more updates than usual this month, that’s just because we’re being very productive implementing all the suggestions coming our way. Without further ado, here are a few ways in which the new…

Today we add a rather heavyweight feature to the workflow capabilities of the agileBase platform – recursion. If you’re interested in a bit of maths and want to know what that means, there’s a great tutorial about the concept at the Khan Academy. If not, never mind, the takeaway is it allows an administrator to…

An update for system administrators today – calculations now automatically update throughout the system whenever a field, view or table name is changed. Before this, if a field name was changed in a table, calculations on that field would still show the old name. They’d need manually updating the next time each calculation was edited.…

When you’ve been developing one piece of software for a number of years there are inevitably one or two decisions you make early on that with hindsight you’d make differently. However, there’s one major decision that we at agileBase get happier with every day: choosing PostgreSQL as our data store. As a customer, you may…

This is one of the largest feature upgrades that we’ve released in the past few years. We’re not American, and not usually given to hyperbole, but this beta* release is awesome! *Since this is such a major feature…

I don’t know if this is a functionality that AB already has, […] something that showed you the recent documentation/pages you’d visit – just a few, so that if you needed to tab out on a phone call etc. you could easily return to what you were doing. It’s a common feature I think used for…

If you’re an agileBase administrator, you’ve probably used the ‘unique’ field option to ensure that, for example, no one enters two products with the same code, or to make sure invoice numbers can never be repeated, or to enforce the uniqueness of customer account codes (a few uses amongst many). That takes care of the situation where one…

agileBase keeps a record of every single change made to any data in the system, for a period of one year, along with the time of the change and who made it. Data edits can be seen by clicking ‘history’ at the bottom of any editing screen. Some customers now have up to 6 million history…
