What's New in November 2020?

December is here!

Over this last month the team has worked on finishing the year strong by fixing crucial bugs and starting on some new initiatives to deliver in early 2021. Read below to learn more:

In Development: Public Links

Development has officially started on our Public Links offering! We’re excited to get this developed and rolled out. This will be a great way to improve existing workflows or expand your use cases where unique usernames and passwords are not a requirement.
Follow along here to stay up-to-date on the development and roll out or reach out to us directly to start discussing how you are looking to use Public Links for Webforms.

iForm for iOS issue with iOS 9

We have identified and fixed an issue with version 9.4 and higher of iForm for the iOS where devices running iOS 9 would not be able to open the application. This has been resolved in the latest iForm app on the App Store. If you have users experiencing this issue, please instruct them to download the updated version of the iForm app.

Android API Post Processing Issues

We introduced a setting in version 8.4 that allowed devices to utilize our API for a portion of the sync process. Starting in version 9.3, that setting became the default setting for new app installations. We've recently identified that it is possible to lose subform records when the setting is enabled and a sync is interrupted. We've since released a new version (9.5.4) that disables this setting while we develop a long term solution. Please ensure any users download the latest version of the iForm App on the Google Play Store.

Changes to JSON v10 Post Data Endpoints

We will be making changes to the way numeric elements (Number, Counter, Range, Timer) are reported through endpoints that are set to JSON v10. Currently, null values are passed as a zero. In our first server release of 2021, this behavior will be changed to correctly report null when the field is empty.

Bug Fixes

iForm Admin Portal: Editing a record in the admin portal will no longer cut off data in Read-Only elements greater than 50 characters.
Form Builder: Form Builder will experience fewer 500 internal server errors due to some performance improvements.
Android: Fixed an issue where lookup records would download every sync.
Webforms: Fixed an issue where the Location element would not populate on Webforms.
Dataflow: Decimal values will no longer get rounded when using the SQL Server Action.
