If you voted in our roadmap poll last week, you’ll be interested to see the results, here they are, most popular items tallest: What’s clear is that the top items are small usability tweaks which will make day-to-day navigation around the system quicker and easier. The good news is that these items are relatively easy…

As new customers have been exploding out of the starting blocks with agileBase, we’ve been gathering the feedback from each customer about what they love and what they’d like to see that isn’t there yet. What’s nice to see is that when we add a feature requested by one customer, so many other people find it useful…

agileBase has a number of workflow features built in that get a lot of use. they work with any app you build using the platform and cover things like auto-setting field values on creation, sending notifications, moving data between views etc. We’re now adding a new workflow engine that can automate many more tasks.

Last week’s update was about helping system administrators manage large accounts. This week’s is about improving the performance for users when those accounts contain very complex reports that may slow the system down if action isn’t taken.

Being able to view a history of all changes to a record, from within that record, has been on our radar for a while. Administrators have always had the ability to download a complete log of all changes that have occurred in the system but sometimes you want a quicker way to see the what,…

This update has been requested by a few different customers. Similar to hiding and showing form fields based on criteria, tabs, or groups of fields, can now be hidden in the same way. This is great for setting up workflows. If you have a process where different sets of fields become active at different times,…

A quick pointer to a new addition to the charting options for agileBase views and dashboards. Stacked bar and area charts can now be produced: To use this, first create a chart as normal by selecting the x-axis and y-axis, then choose a field using the ‘breakdown’ option.
