Release November 2024 (before christmas break)

We are happy to deliver the brandnew November 2024 release with major improvements on the table webpart and many more! Try it now!

Remember, the Web Client is the user friendly spreadsheet for your Collector Users to deliver their monthly/weekly/daily data. The Web App is the tool for the Power User to setup and control your organization’s collection workflows.

(1) Web App: Improvements for the table webpart

With this release, our focus is on improving the table webpart of the data1.io backend (“Web App”). This webpart is used in most of the menu items in the backend.

a) New Table Layout

The table webpart has been improved in the following areas:

• New light grey header
• Grid layout using light grey horicontal and vertical lines
• Reduction of line height by about 50 %
• 20 records as default setting

Compare the new layout …

… with the previous layout:

b) New Column Filter Experience

We have replaced the previous column filter with a modern filter experience:

• Select the elements from a list of distinct values of this column
• Sort ascending / descending
• Clear Filter function
• Customized Filter … function

Compare the new filter experience …

… with the previous filter dialog:

Of course it is also possible to define customized filters …

… with this popup dialog:

c) Single Record View vs. Table View

We removed the “single record view” from most menu items …

… and simply show single records in the normal table layout:

(2) Web Client: New parameter “data1_Write_AlwaysOn”

You can use this parameter to force the availability of the write button although otherwise the button would be deactivated. E.g. due to the presence of exclusively read-only cells, the presence of exclusively level queries, and so on. This parameter can have two values:

0 = normal behaviour

1 = write button will be forced

Please be aware that the write button is forced only on bottom level elements and within the valid period of the current workflow.

(3) API: New “Swagger” based REST-API

Additionally to our existing ODATA API, we deliver now the new Swagger based REST-API: https://data1-service.azurewebsites.net/swagger/ui/index

This Swagger based REST-API is easier to use than the more technical ODATA API and is relevant for the creation of “Azure Logic Apps”.

(4) API: New Blogpost “Automatize data1.io with Azure Logic Apps” (in german language)

Toni Kerschbaummayr, the core developer of data1.io, has written a fantastic blog post on how to use the “Azure Logic Apps” technology to automatize the data loading process in data1.io.

Get an impression of the solution that automatically loads an Excel based dimension table after every change into your data1.io application:

We hope you like the new features – we are very curious about your feedback!

Please let us know what you think about data1.io and what kind of planning and data collection processes you evaluate to automate.

We`ll be back after christmas break with the January Release!
