Redesigned features for the mobile app on iOS and Android

We've redesigned the Ninox mobile app to automatically appear in its optimized form on all devices.
When starting the Ninox 3.5.0 app on your mobile device for the first time, you will be asked whether you want to use the classic or new look. Tap the New button to try out the new design.
The Ninox mobile app automatically reformats the view for all screen sizes so you can easily interact with Ninox no matter whether you're using an iPhone, iPad, or an Android phone or tablet.‌
  • New design for the following features for iOS and Android:
    • Seamlessly log in and out of the mobile app
    • View your team workspace from the main screen
    • Interact with the script editor, e.g., add new functions
    • Create different types of views
    • Switch between your views
    • Share views and files
    • Import files
    • Mark a table Hidden to hide sensitive data from view
    • Specify Readable if, and Writable if for fields
    • Set up Binding and Tooltip for fields
    • Add a Field, Formula, Layout element, Link to, Link from, and Sub-table from the toolbar at the bottom of the screen
    • Add View and Chart via Layout element​

Transactional scripts

  • A new construct do as transaction added to Ninox script
  • Behaves in the same way as do as server
  • Allows a set of code to run within the context of a transaction
  • On mobile apps, do as transaction executes on the client and thus allows for offline-capable transactions
  • Run the script within transactions to achieve faster execution and higher consistency
    • Either apply changes upon successful completion or discard changes if any of the code in the wrapped script fails

Smart caching

  • Improves the consequent loading time of table views and execution of select queries

Option to restart teams

  • Restart teams if they are slow due to a long-running script on the server

Fixed bugs

  • File upload endpoints accept tableName in URL
    • File upload endpoints and all other endpoints now accept tableName in addition to tableId in the URL
  • Trigger after update for memory-bound fields
    • Trigger after update now works for memory-bound fields, i.e., both Global variable in memory as well as Per record in memory
  • urlOf() function in Trigger after update
    • The urlOf() function used in Trigger after update now returns a valid link with a correct database ID
  • databaseId() function in Triggers
    • The databaseId() function used in Triggers now returns the correct database ID instead of random integers
  • Selection in Date field and calendar pop-up functionality
    • The date in the Date field can now be selected and the calendar pop-up remains visible
  • Dynamic choice fields show 0 (zero) value
    • Dynamic choice fields (Single and Multiple) now support absolute 0 (zero) values
    • Instead of record IDs, 0 can be selected in Dynamic choice fields
  • shareFile() function in Triggers
    • When using the shareFile() function in Triggers, some fields were either loading or not returning any values
    • This error has been addressed and the shareFile() function now returns correct values when used in Triggers
