We're happy to announce an expansion for application management in My Betty Blocks: application types and states. Soon, we're providing a more tailored environment related to the purpose of creating and developing applications. Each application type has its unique purpose, to help you create better and more efficient applications. Next to this, it will give you a better overall overview of all existing applications within the platform.
Below you can find an overview of the three application types we will introduce. Soon, you will be asked to choose one of these types when creating a new application. Currently, all apps are assigned to the Default type.
To strengthen governance and lower the risk of a data leak, we fully connected the Private Data Mode (PDM) feature to the application status. This means that for every application with a status Live, PDM is turned off. For all other applications with the status Development and for all sandbox applications, the PDM is always enabled. From now on, it’s not possible to switch the PDM toggle in your application settings anymore. Meaning that every tester or end user should be invited to the app or sandbox.
| What is the Private Data Mode? This feature restricts the visibility of runtime pages and the data API to users without builder rights. It prevents runtime data from being publicly accessible. |
That was all for now, your feedback allows us to continuously improve our product. Please, let us know what you think about it. Happy building! 😃
