Our next release enables you to remove panels without also removing
the panels that follow them. As a result, you can now do things like
removing the first panel of an app without touching the rest of the
app.
Use our new copy and paste feature to copy fields and other items
from one panel to another or to copy entire panels. This is a great
way to copy data from one app to another.
The new Panels sidebar allows you to quickly move to individual
panels. You can also reorganize panels by dragging and dropping them.
For better control of your panel structure, copy and paste panels
instead.
Our next release will allow you to insert panels anywhere in your
app. You will also be able to copy and paste panels and fields and
other items. A new sidebar will give you an overview of your panels
and enable you to reorder them.
Spreadsheet formulas usually use position-based references like A2 to
refer to cells while Calcapp formulas use names. Rewriting formulas
manually when you're converting a spreadsheet to an app is tedious
and error-prone. This post explains how you can make Calcapp Creator
do the work for you.
Calcapp Creator will soon be much faster when editing large apps.
Changing a field name or caption will be up to 30 times faster and
memory usage is expected to drop to half of what we currently use. We
realized these gains by embracing modern web standards.
By maintaining multiple versions of your app, you can refer back to a
prior incarnation at a later date. It also enables you to share your
progress on a new app version with beta testers, without disturbing
the main version used by your regular users. Learn to duplicate your
app to access these features.
Can you convert a spreadsheet with lots of data to a great app with
Calcapp today? Sagger asked us this question and received a reply
from our co-founder David.
Do you have a spreadsheet you'd like to convert to an app? Get in
touch with us and we'd be happy to assess whether Calcapp is a good
fit at no charge. If you need us to do the conversion work, we'll
give you an estimate of the work involved and charge you an hourly
fee for our time.
You can use data validation to present an error message alongside an
output number field. Sometimes you want to display the message in the
field itself, though. This blog post shows you two ways to accomplish
this.
