Agilebase platform blog: recent updates

When programming, it’s actually quite unusual to come across a requirement that is intellectually interesting to work on. Most are something along the lines of ‘grr, why doesn’t this bit of code work, I can’t see anything wrong with it?’ or ‘I need to add another option into this settings screen and plug it in…

Bath Digital Festival A quick non-feature update: we’ll be appearing at the Bath Digital Festival on 12th July this year – we hope to see you all there! Login page The first thing anyone will notice if they log in via www.agilebase.co.uk is that the login page has been updated. We’ve decided to highlight prominent…

A new version of Agilebase has been released today which includes two updates. The first is a fix to a problem with chasers, the main reason for the quick release today. People were finding that they were unable to respond to chasers – they were getting an error message when attempting to upload a file…

This year a lot of the focus is going to be on Learner Progression for Agilebase – building the pathway which allows beginner Citizen Developers to progress to become Software Architects. That will involve training materials, community events etc. as well as features. In preparation, we’ve had a second look at a few developer features…

Agilebase is delivering what you asked for New features are rolling out soon Following our big Learner Progression release last month, we’ve taken some time to round things out a bit and make some features much easier for learners to get to grips with (as well as being quicker to use for seasoned developers). Creating…

3rd November 2022 It’s been slightly longer than usual since our last AgileBase platform release, which was back in August, but that’s because we’ve been working on some significant functionality, enough for a new major release. We are excited that AgileBase Version 6 will be ready soon and is available for you to test now.…

This week a number of usability and functionality improvements to the spreadsheet import facility have been made. Many spring from ideas our friends at Argenta have suggested while working on one of their agileBase projects. These improvements will go live on Monday. There is a new option ‘use default values’ available when uploading new data…

Test servers Many larger organisations who use agileBase have their own test servers. This is a service we provide to let people test out changes before making those changes on their live system. This is particularly important where their live system is mission critical. However, until now, this service has been relatively basic and ad-hoc.…

This release completes the redesign of the development homepage. This is the screen that you get when you toggle ‘development mode’ on with the toggle at the top right of the screen, when you’re on the agileBase homepage. It gives you an overview of the system, lets you see the connections between different parts and…
