Release Zegeba V 4.0

New Features and Enhancements In Version 4.0

We are very happy to finally present Zegeba v 4.0 to our customers after a long time of preparation. This new version brings a lot of technical innovation and updates to the Zegeba platform, but most of the new functionality is not visible to the users. The most noticeable change for you at this stage is that we have integrated the Forms app into the Zegeba app. Users of the Forms app must now download the Zegeba app and log in, and will find their familiar folders and forms under the Zegeba app menu option Forms. Version 4.0 opens up new opportunities for the Zegeba app, and you will for instance in upcoming versions be able to style the app with your own colors and logos and with your preferred views of data and tasks.

In the App

New Forms Menu with Enhanced Functionality

There is now a new menu option Forms containing all the functionality of the former Forms app plus the extra abilities inherent in the more modern Next app.

Flexible Data Download Options in Settings

In Settings you can now set the maximum number of days you want to download older data for. If you have set data more than 100 days old to be excluded from normal sync, you can download individual reports older than this whenever you need them by pressing the report’s cloud icon. There is also a setting for preventing just media files older than a certain number of days from being downloaded, so you can see still older reports but without their pictures. See Using:
5.1 Settings.

Sync Only Your Data for Efficient Use

In Settings you can also choose to only sync your own data. This is helpful for users who dont’ want to download much data they don’t need. See Using:
5.1 Settings.

Expanded Search for Titles and Reports

The Search function has been expanded and will now search in all titles and reports. See Using:
4.1 Finding a task form.

Custom Search Settings: Exact or Approximate

In Settings you can decide if you want exact search or just approximate search (default) when you search for titles and data in the app. See Using:
5.1 Settings.

Outbox Shows More Conflict Details

The Outbox will now show more information on conflicting reports. See Using:
5.2 The Outbox and conflicting uploads.

Server-Defined Report Conflict Resolution

And, if you do not want the users to decide individually which version to keep when the server version of a report is more recent than the version stored locally on the users device, we can set the Zegeba server to always use the local version, or always the server version. See Using:
5.2 The Outbox and conflicting uploads.

In the Designer

Customize Number and Decimal Display

You can choose to remove the + and – buttons from Number and Decimal elements. This can be done for each individual element in the Other tab, or for the entire form in the form element’s Other tab. See Designing:
6.1 Creating and naming a new task template.

Updated Email Notification Layout

In the Form elements’ Other tab, the email notification settings have now been placed in a more logical order, see pictures in Designing:
8.2 Automatic email notifications with PDF reports and form links.

Action Element Button Removed

The Action element’s Settings button is no longer available, as this button only worked for the now discontinued Forms app.

New iif Function for Conditional Emails

A new function in the Rule Editor, iif, will allow you to send email notifications to different recipients for different form states. Contact Zegeba Support for information on how to do this.

In Tasks

Draft Forms Hidden in Task Template Editor

When selecting forms in the Task Template editor’s Forms tab, draft forms will no longer be listed. You must have published a form at least once to see it here. See Managing:
6.5 Adding Forms to a task template.

Link Form States to Task States

We can now link Form States to Task States so a change to a specific Form State automatically triggers change to a specific Task State. This must be implemented by our staff, so contact Zegeba Support if you wish to use this.

Other Improvements

• NEW! When recovering data captures in the Dashboard through the menu option Recover, added pictures and attachments will now also be recovered.
• Border width set in the Designer is now displayed in forms and printed on PDFs.
• The various border styles in the Designer are now printed on the PDF.
• Auto-scaling of images in the Designer now works for all types of images, including Multimedia Label and Text Label.
• The elements in the bottom end of the form screen will no longer seem to be spilling over the Navigation bar.
• The {§formId} function now works as it should.
• Link elements can now be hidden in repeat listings.

… and we have also implemented many other technical and performance improvements boosting the power of the Zegeba platform!
