Navigating within a screen type is something that was very common in mobile (cardlist to form, form to detail) but not in Windows or Web. What happens when this autosizing grid is in a detail? That’s what we try to tackle in this phase. Once this is completed, we can work towards autosizing components, for instance a grid or form that keeps growing vertically. The second step involves a concept called ‘ breakpoints‘ to ensure the screen type always fits, no matter the size of the device, browser window or application, or the room it has when shown as a detail. This is the first step of 5 phases when it comes to screen types. This still needs to pass QA but the development is mostly done. And a splitter which has a grid (supported) on one side, and a cube (not supported) on the other side gets replaced by only the grid. A tabpage will, for now, show the first component that is supported. The definition of the screen type needs to be converted into a definition which only includes supported components, since not all components are supported yet. Screen typesScreen types are now being loaded by Universal, components are placed according to the definition of the screen type. The filter and prefilter components are still in development, this is planned to be completed by the next update. Thanks to the Indicium team, filtering works blazingly fast and feels incredibly smooth in the Universal GUI. Overflow menu showing the control actions for a cardįilteringFiltering using the global filter and prefilters has seen great progress.
This menu allows you to execute the actions normally available on the control, such as URL navigation, calling a phone number, sending an e-mail or checking out the location on a map. Instead of implementing all control types for the card list, we’ve decided to add an overflow menu to each card. This was needed since we will be relying a lot more on the card list in the future, when the good old grids from master-details won’t display data to our satisfaction on small phone screens. Field width as a percentage of the width of the columnĪ form with one section containing 3 groups spread over 3 columnsĬard list improvementsTo finish up development on the card list, we’ve managed to surpass the features of the Mobile card list.There are some things that are not yet implemented: If you want a control (like a multiline) to span multiple columns, place it in its own section. The width of the controls is equal to the width of the column. So if you have three sections, it’s possible the first section has three columns, the second section two and the last only one column. The decision on how many columns are needed will be made for each section.

The fields which are placed in a tab by the Software Factory will be put in their own section. Tabs have been replaced by vertical scrolling. The form will now have at most three columns, but if the controls fit in only two columns, the third column will be dropped. Let’s say we want three columns as an example. Let’s talk more about setting the number of columns. If you don’t keep groups together, the group might be spread out over multiple columns. You might want fewer columns on a detail screen type, or even when the screen gets smaller (using a breakpoint).Ī new concept “keep groups together” is introduced to specify whether grouped controls are placed together in the same column or not. The “number of columns” setting in the Software Factory will be moved from subject to the screen type, so you can modify the number based on the available room on the screen. The form positions the fields according to the optimal placement over the suggested number of columns, so there is no space wasted. The controls for checkbox and radio buttons are in development as we speak. The basic controls have been implemented like the different text control for email, phone number, multi-line etc. The plan is to have something for you all to play around with by the time 2018.3 releases!įormA read-only version of the form has been completed for Universal.

Gather ’round, gather ’round, we got another Universal Development Update for you! We are closing in on a version which has most of the features covered to act as a read-only version of the current Mobile GUI.
