Over 45+ new features were added in April. Version 4.5.4 offers important benefits in virtually every part of Alpha Anywhere, with special emphasis on data integration and security without ignoring key areas such as power, productivity and presentation. Check out some of the new features available now!
Salesforce Integration is a Snap
Alpha Anywhere has made it even easier to connect your applications to Salesforce, making Alpha Anywhere an ideal way to build applications using Salesforce as the system of record.
Enhanced Interoperability
Alpha Anywhere has made it easier than ever to create web services. With the new REST API Builder, you can expose logic in your web applications as services that can be consumed by other applications, including apps built with Alpha Anywhere.
Powerful and Easy Integration with Upcoming Alpha TransForm
Alpha TransForm is Alpha’s upcoming platform extension to Alpha Anywhere that lets anyone build enterprise grade data capture and dispatch forms/apps in minutes. These apps work offline, support rich media, can have complex multi-table data structures, and are optimized for smartphones.
Alpha Anywhere 4.5.4 includes major new features for integrating Alpha TransForm into Alpha Anywhere applications. Features include full CRUD support for TransForm in List Controls in the UX - without the need to code. Also, an API explorer tool to make it easy to write code against the TransForm API.
Security Features
Alpha Anywhere already has a robust security framework but this new version increases security for your business apps. As web browsers evolve, so does Alpha Anywhere. Effort was made to ensure apps conformed with the latest browser and server standards.
In addition, this release also includes integrated Audit Logging which allows you to track changes made to your SQL data source including who edited your data, when the data was changed, and what value were modified. Alpha Anywhere 4.5.4 also makes it easier than ever to integrate fingerprint or face recoginition in mobile applications using the new PhoneGap - TouchID/FaceID Action Javascript.
Instant Update for Mobile Apps
Save a ton of time and hassle with "Instant Update for Mobile Apps". Instant Update allows you to update your mobile applications on users devices without requiring you to submit your app to PhoneGap build, re-publish your application to the app stores, or requiring your users to look for and manually install updates. Updates are installed as soon as the user launches their device, eliminating the need to notify them that an update is available.
Enhanced Data Presentation, New App Templates, Server-side API Functionality, and more!
In addition to above, this release also includes improvements across the development environment, including:
- Genies for writing custom Xbasic SQL Queries
- Expanded Data Presentation features including new date and date/time formats and interactive dynamic popup windows (disclosures).
- New App Templates
- Significant IDE Improvements, including new tools for managing and testing your apps
