Agilebase platform blog: recent updates

The battle in businesses over BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is pretty much over and IT departments are now having to deal with the impact (largely security related) that this is having on their business. I think for most of us this was always going to be the outcome, the benefits where so obvious and…

Over the last five or so years there is one topic, gamification, that has really got people talking. (For the sake of this post gamification is the bringing of game mechanics and dynamics into the development of enterprise software usually to increase the depth and speed of adoption). Enterprise software can be reallyyyyyy dull. Getting…

Lots of ideas are swirling around our heads here at Agilebase and are coalescing into some exciting features. Taking inspiration from our partners, clients and the wider world, we’ve come up with a new ‘social interface’ for the platform. We’ve been working on this for the past month and it’s taking shape nicely. Integrating ideas…

Hello, I hope you’re all having a good start to 2013. We’ve been setting up a new client who has asked for an improvement to be made to agilebase to make date filtering easier, specifically date ranges. As always, any improvements we do to the core platform are done in such a way as they…

The aim of this development is to build a new interface that is simpler for those new to agileBase faster for power users more app-friendly whilst retaining the normal…

Clients and partners have recently been adding value to agileBase by using the rapid development facilities to create specific, single purpose apps. Here’s a showcase. Many of these apps are currently being developed so these are sneak preview. 1) Fusion People Training have developed an Organisational Needs Analysis targeted at enterprise executives: You can try…

agileBase has had basic support for phone number recognition for some time – if you enter a phone number it will recognise the area code and tell you the town in the view tab. Now a developer Ian Galpin @g1smd has taken an interest and contributed a number of patches to the code that greatly…

Just a quick post to explain that due to popular demand, we’ve made filtering ‘always on’ – most people use filtering a lot while using agileBase so there’s no point evernhaving the filter boxes hidden. This means that we could remove the filter button which used to turn it on and off. It’s always nice…
