Board 9.1 Release Notes

What New in Board 9.1

• Data Connection: BOARD 9.1 provides an extended fully integrated and optimized ODBC Driver Library, that facilitates a rapid connection to three distinct Data Source Categories :

> Native BOARD ODBC Drivers

> Connector Adapters : for REST and OData

 

• Corporate Identity Designer :  Large Enterprise Companies need to apply severe brand regulations to Application Design. BOARD 9.1 provides the capability to narrow the Toolbox Object choices and their format options to some only.

  

• Concurrent Capsule Editing: Two or more Power User can now develop together on the same Capsule. The locking mechanism that prevents design overlaps and conflicts happens at Screen and Procedure Level.

Samples :

> Two Users can't develop together the same Screen or the Same Procedure

> If  User_1 tries to edit a Screen/Procedure that is already in design mode for User_2, he gets a Lock Message : it is enough that the  User_2 closes the Screen/Procedure to enable Screen Editing for User_1.

> Is User_1 creates the Screen_1 (without Saving it yet) and  User_1 creates the Screen_1 (same naming) they will be both able to edit Screen_1 and Save it with the Last Saved Screen_1 to prevail.

 

• Rules for Power Users: Power Users can now create , edit, export and import Rules from the Database Designer Ribbon Bar. This capability is available only for those Rules that have been created by a "Power" User. Rules that have been created by a "Developer" User can be visualized but not saved neither exported.

Attention ! This action even if performed by a Power User locks the Database in design mode.

 

 

• Fixing Relationship: An advanced  Top-Down and Bottom-Up relationship Scanner is available know with filling capabilities for missing relationship to prevent exceptions handling.

 

• Mobile Iron: Board Mobile Client is now integrated with Mobileiron the well known Platform of Mobile Application Management. Please visit Mobileiron Market Place for a full understanding of available features like Application Wrap-Up and  Login Management.
