    October 31, 2024

    Version 2.3.0

    Enhancements

    • MSSQL support: We are excited to announce that AppCreator now supports the configuration of MS SQL databases. This new feature allows users to take full advantage of their existing MS SQL database licenses, simplifying database management and maintenance.
    • ME Connectors: In our commitment for you to seamlessly extend your ManageEngine products with AppCreator, we have added new connections for Endpoint Central, AssetExplorer, ADManager Plus, PAM360 and SupportCenter Plus.
    • UI to register client app: We have enabled the developer console IAM page by default to speedup the client registering and API consumption process.
    • Page Charts - Drill down: The enhanced page charts offer a dynamic way to quickly visualize insights while providing powerful drill-down capabilities. With the ability to dive deeper into specific data points, users can easily explore underlying details and trends, enabling a more granular analysis. This feature allows for a more thorough understanding of the data, making it easier to identify key patterns and make informed decisions based on detailed, actionable insights.
    • Formula type support: We're excited to introduce new data type options in formula fields. Now, you can choose between two field type properties: single line (supporting up to 255 characters) and multi line (supporting more than 255 characters). Going forward, single line will be the default data type for newly created formula fields, while existing fields will be assigned the multi line option.
    • Blueprint During: We're excited to announce an enhancement to the customization options in blueprints. The new During section allows data collection from the transition owner while performing transitions. Within this section, you can choose to either update fields or open a form. The Update fields option enables you to select specific form fields to display during a transition. The Open a form option allows you to specify which form should be opened during the transition, which will appear as a pop-up, and the transition will be completed only after successful form submission.
    • Sub form column freeze:We've rolled out column freezing in subforms aimed at improving the editing experience within subforms that contain a large number of fields. Now, when editing subforms, the first one or two columns will automatically freeze depending on the viewport, providing a stable reference point as you navigate through the remaining fields. This new behavior will become the default setting and will be automatically applied to all users.
    • Reorder blocks in Detail View: We've introduced an enhancement to the Reports which allow you to rearrange information blocks in the Detail View. This added flexibility lets you customize the layout and prioritize the information displayed in the Detail View of your reports.
    • Widget configuration: We’re thrilled to announce enhanced customization capabilities for widgets in Zoho Creator with the all-new widget configuration feature. This allows you to have complete control over customizing components within a widget specific to an application. Now, you can configure widget fields in the manifest.json file during the widget creation process, enabling the definition of variable fields to accommodate dynamic values.

    • Invitation emails in SAML enabled portal:We've introduced a new option Send invitation email in the Add/Import portal users panes.

    • In certain cases, some users experienced issues with the update of selection field values for subform fields via the update record API, leading to improper update of data in mobile. This issue has been resolved.

    • Custom sorting and grouping We've introduced the Custom Sorting and Grouping of records in Reports. This offers you more control and flexibility in arranging and displaying your data.

      • While exporting users you will now see a new Application level in addition to the existing option which has been renamed as Account level. You can use the Application Level option to filter users who have been added to a specific application. Further, the exported file using this option will include the user’s email addresses, along with their roles and permissions for that application.
      • When you export the portal users, their email address and permission will now be included in the exported file.
    • We’ve added a new section called Display format in Number and Decimal Fields, where you can choose the preferred format to display your data. This new formatting option is designed to make reading numbers in your application easier and better suited to different user groups.

      You can access this feature under the 'Help' section of the Home page and subscribe using Mail ID for security advisory announcements.

    Changes

    • API Scopename Change: API OAuthtoken scope names have been modified from ZohoCreator.XX.YY (ZohoCreator.FORM.CREATE) to AppCreator.XX.YY (AppCreator.FORM.CREATE).
      Please ensure you modify your existing tokens to the new scope and also that new tokens are created in the AppCreator scope.
    • Drop Down and Multi Select fields' choices: We've rolled out a minor tweak to process of adding choices to the Drop-down and Multi-select fields. Previously, when you tried to add a new choice, the previous choice was duplicated and the newly created choice was made the default choice. Going forward, when you try to create a new choice you'll have to enter the name and then have to click the radio button next to it to make it the default choice.
    • Widgets' name change: We'll be coming up with a bunch of enhancements for the Widgets soon. Consequently as a prerequisite the widget names have to follow the naming guideline. So we've renamed the widgets to fit in the guideline, as follows :
      • Scenario 1 - If your widget name had special characters, then they'll be removed.
      • Scenario 2 - If your widget had no name, then it will be assigned to the name 'Widget 1'. Subsequent unnamed widgets will be named 'Widget 2', 'Widget 3' and so on.

    Enhancements

    • We've launched a new page to guide you through the process of accessing AppCreator. This ensures ease of access and also helps avoid confusion.
      AppCreator can be accessed only over an HTTPS connection. If a valid SSL certificate is not applied a browser warning will be displayed. We have added a page during the application startup, that assures that it is perfectly safe to bypass the security warnings and access the product.
    • Now you can use the zcLoadIn query parameter to dynamically embed AppCreator components in a page as:
      • Popup windows
      • Embed containers within the same page (both as HTML and iframe)
      • < div > containers
    • We have introduced two new Deluge tasks to work with the Blueprints.
      • thisapp.blueprint.executeTransition - This is a task that will let you execute a transition and move a record from one stage to another.
      • thisapp.blueprint.changeStage - This task will let you move from one stage to another stage without having to execute a transition.

    Fixes

    • Fixed an issue that occurs while opening the popup window from the panel button.

    • Language Support: AppCreator has extended its multi-language support to collaboratively work online across language barriers. We can now translate application components' content into 50+ languages.
    • 'Enable field' script execution: We've rolled out a minor tweak to 'Enable field' script execution. If a field has been marked 'Read-only' in the Field permissions and is part of Form which has been shared with users and developers, then henceforth the enable field script execution will be restricted.
    • Process of deleting Parameter in Pages: We've rolled out a minor tweak to the process of deleting a Parameter in the Pages. Henceforth if the parameter you wish delete is being referenced in any page element, then you'll be shown a popup listing all such occurrences. Quickly navigate to the element, where the reference is present, just by clicking on the View button and then remove any reference to the parameter. Repeat the same for other elements and remove all references to proceed with the deletion.
    • Drop Down and Multi Select fields' choices: Going forward, only 5000 choices will be displayed for the Drop Down and Multi Select fields. To view further choices, you'll have to search with specific keywords and select the required option. The aforementioned change along with the replacement of the 'Infinite scrolling' with the 'Lazy loading' will vastly improve your experience while dealing with fields with a large number of choices. Note: In subforms, the Radio and Checkbox fields are displayed as a drop down. In such instances, the above change would be applicable.

    • A fix related to an issue that occurs in advanced search in lookup field.
    • Resolved a very rare issue in which users couldn't export a report as HTML.

      2. timeBetween
      3. toWords
    • We have added support for the output type parameter for the Deluge encryption function - SHA256. This parameter decides if the hash needs to be returned in hex or binary format. And, when the output type parameter is specified as binary, the input data cannot be more than 1 MB.

    Changes and Bug Fixes

    • We are introducing an improvement in application backup. Earlier, when you download the backup file of your application, it contained a .zip file that included the Deluge script file of the application structure (.ds file) and a set of .csv files containing the application data. From now on, the downloaded backup file will contain only a .zip file. This change will help in effectively reducing the number of files and their subsequent storage.
    • The key and default message value for Print as Summary have been included inside the Default Messages files. You can now customize its value under Contextual messages.
    • We have updated an error message for V2 API w.r.t the API limitations on workflow looping. The corresponding message to the new codes is available here.
    • We have fixed a schedule execution issue related to application timezone change.
    • We've updated the behavior of the Blueprint_stages field when != or NOT IN operators are given in its criteria. Earlier, when the above-mentioned operators were specified in the stages field’s criteria, the respective records were returned along with null values. From now on, records with null values will not be returned.
    • The vulnerability caused by CVE-2022-1552 has been fixed.
