The Red Desert is a high-altitude desert and sagebrush steppe located in the south-central portion of the U.S. state of Wyoming, comprising approximately 9,320 square miles (24,100 square kilometers). Among the natural features in the Red Desert region are the Great Divide Basin, a unique endorheic drainage basin formed by a division in the Continental Divide, and the Killpecker Sand Dunes, the largest living dune system in the United States.


XERO Connector


At the forefront of this update is our latest integration with Xero, a top-tier cloud-based accounting platform.


With this Connector, you are able to:

  • Leverage the Accounting API to simplify invoicing, category monitoring, and contact organization.
  • Effortlessly manage and transfer documents using the Files API.
  • Utilize Payroll APIs to handle timesheets with ease.


We’re confident this integration will enable Xero users, both existing and new, to further automate their financial data processes—saving significant time and eliminating tedious manual tasks.



More Icons!


Up until now, you’ve had around 44 icons to work with, giving you a solid variety to enhance the visual appeal and usability of your forms. But we’ve raised the bar by adding 61 new, thoughtfully chosen icons, bringing the total to 105.


This means even more options to personalize your forms and make them uniquely yours.


With 105 icons at your disposal, you can now align your forms even more closely with their intended purpose.



Populate Gallery Field from Data Source


We’re excited to announce that the ability to link Gallery Fields to Data Sources for dynamic content updates!


Just like with Table Fields, you can showcase a range of images directly from a Data Source within your App.


In the past, adding or updating images required manual uploads and frequent adjustments to keep the content up to date. Now, your gallery will automatically refresh whenever your linked Data Source is updated—ensuring your App always displays the most current images without any additional work.


User Groups For Test Mode


Our platform already allows you to put your forms into test mode and assign individual users to ensure everything functions properly before going live. 


Now, we’ve enhanced this feature! You can now include entire user groups in your tests, making it even easier to involve multiple users in the testing process.


This update is ideal for clients who want a thorough review of their forms before launch. Start with an initial group of developers to test basic functionality. Once they approve, bring in a second group to identify any issues during regular tasks. Finally, involve a third, larger group to ensure a broad and complete testing phase.


This step-by-step approach helps identify potential issues early, leading to higher-quality forms that are fully ready for real-world use.



Zoom & Pan



We’ve added a Zoom & Pan feature that makes navigating large or detailed images during data collection much more convenient.


For instance, when handling intricate blueprints at a construction site or reviewing expansive farm maps, you can zoom in to focus on specific areas, such as structural details or boundary lines, without sacrificing clarity.



Screen Changes Reporting


We’ve rolled out a fantastic new enhancement to the Form Settings page, offering deeper insights into your form version history.


In addition to seeing the VersionStatusCreated Date, and Last Updated details, you can now view who made the changes with the new "Last Updated By" field, along with the exact timestamp of the update.


This update makes it easier to track not only when changes occurred, but also who made them, helping you stay on top of edits and boosting team accountability.



Paging Implemented for BigQuery


Google restricts the amount of data you can extract from a BigQuery Data Source Connector to 20 MB. To help you bypass this limitation, we’ve introduced Paging to the connector.


This feature allows you to retrieve larger data sets, ensuring more efficient data handling and reducing restrictions when accessing your information.



Update Specific Columns via Datasource API


We’ve introduced the ability to update specific columns in a row through the Datasource API without overwriting the entire row.


This enhancement lets you target particular fields for modification while keeping the rest of the data intact. Whether you're updating a status, assigning a task, or adjusting any other critical data point, the API allows you to make changes precisely where needed.



Retrieve Tasks by External ID via API


In addition, we’ve updated the Task API to allow you to retrieve tasks using the External ID. This provides faster access to the exact task you need without having to sift through your data.


For instance, if you’re managing multiple projects, you can quickly pull up a specific task by its External ID, ensuring smooth and efficient workflow management.



Maintenance & Bugs


Password Reset Improvements: We’ve updated the error messages for password resets to be easier to follow & navigate.


Example Form Import Template Update: Enhancements have been made to the Example Form Import Template, making the importation process much more straightforward.


MS Graph Connector Update: We’ve introduced a search feature that returns a list of available sites for your account, making it easier to find the correct site name for Excel Online and SharePoint connectors.


Background Uploads: We’ve made improvements to our App’s Background Upload feature to tackle issues mainly seen on Android devices.



Category Titles Fix: Titles in the Example Catalog categories have been fixed for consistency.
