Over the last 2 weeks, we have been working on improvements to the platform. In this blog post, you can see a simple list of what has been changed, updated, and/or what bugs have been fixed. Read more about the release notes of weeks 06 and 07 of 2022.
Enhancements
Page Builder
- When selecting data to be displayed within the Page Builder you can now see an alias you can configure yourself so that you know from what different sources within the page that data is coming.
- You can now use the arrow keys in your keyboard so that you can navigate through the components on your canvas faster. It is also possible to use the backspace and C key to delete and clone your component on the canvas.
Data model
- The new Data API Mutations now supports UpsertMany functionality. Use this mutation to update / sync some processed data to the database. Upsert functionally is quite similar to the create, except that you also need to supply the ids. When the item with the given id already exists it will update that item. If an item with the given id does not exist it will be created with the given input.
My Betty Blocks
- Now, it’s possible to filter on the application status in My Betty Blocks. This filtering gives the users insights into the number of Live and Development applications of an organization.
- The application status is removed from the application detail page for apps on the NL1 and US1 zones. The application status is not applicable for these zones due to the fact that they don’t make use of the Data API.
Fixes
Page Builder
- Selecting properties coming from the same model that has a different query no longer incorrectly always shows the properties of the first parent component that is providing the data.
- You are now able to select the menu items of the menu item component while designing your page within the Page Builder again.
- Updating your theme colors now correctly updates these values within the color picker of the theme editor.
Data model
- There is no delay in creating properties anymore. Sometimes when a property was created, it took a bit of time before it could be used in the Page Builder. With this fix, there shouldn't be any more delays.
Announcements
My Betty Blocks
- At the end of this month, the Private Data Mode (PDM) will be activated for all applications with the status Development in order to secure the runtime from public use.
- The login screen (and process) of My Betty Blocks will slightly change soon. We will no longer directly ask for email and password, but first only email and then in the next step the password field will appear. Functionality wise nothing will change. It is changing now to prepare for an upcoming Single Sign On (SSO) feature.
That was all for now. Your feedback allows us to continuously improve the Product. So please, let us know what you think about it!
