EDELOG 6.8
New Features and Non-Breaking Changes
Live Data Sync
With Edelog 6.8, data record changes are now synced in real-time with other users and devices. If you change a data record, all other users will see the changes immediately once you click on "Save".
Data Import Assistant
Edelog 6.8 includes a new data import assistant that allows you to quickly add lots of data to a Edelog database (e.g. using a CSV file). To get startet, simply open "Import Data" (located in the "More" menu) from any Edelog database.
Improved Data Editor
In Edelog 6.8 the Data Editor sheet can now be used in the main frame of a data record rather than only its sidebar. The improved Data Editor also allows to define subheadings and multiple columns.
Improved Visual Design
Edelog 6.8 introduces a new visual design "Colorful" that reflects the current app's color across the user interface. We will add more color options in a future release as well as introduce support for responsive UI to use Edelog on a mobile phone.
Edelog Forms 7 Beta
With Edelog 6.8, Edelog Forms 7 will be available as opt-in beta version. This will allow system and process administrators to get familiar with the new features ahead of the release of Edelog Forms 7 later this year.
