Our development team is constantly striving to improve the Grexx Platform for our customers. Every three weeks, we make updates and enhancements to our platform to make it more user-friendly, intuitive and efficient. Additionally, we are continuously developing new features and solutions to keep our customers ahead of the game. In this tech blog, we want to take you behind the scenes of our development team and let you know about our latest update.

A highly anticipated update is on the horizon and will benefit all Grexx developers. The Form Designer has undergone a significant upgrade, greatly improving its usability and efficiency.

‍

The Form Designer is one of the most frequently used features on the Grexx Platform, as almost every application includes a significant number of forms:

‍

• It's clear why: forms are essential for manual data entry by end users, such as inputting customer information.

• Additionally, automated data entry can also be achieved through forms by integrating with external systems and applications.

• Forms can be used in various other ways, such as creating widgets to display organized customer data. In this case, the end user only sees a simplified view of the data while the backend is built from a form.

‍

Essentially, the Form Designer is a critical component of the Grexx Platform.

Time for an update

‍

The original Form Designer was created in 2014, which seems like ages ago in the fast-paced world of software development. While it delivered results at the time, we now look back on it with a sense of nostalgia. The version that most of our users are currently using is v2 from 2020, although we have made continuous updates since then. However, we recognised it could use some modernizing touches to keep up with current standards.

‍

So, for the past few months, our development team has been hard at work on a brand new version. Our focus has been to make it more user-friendly and intuitive, with a seamless experience of what you see is what you get. And it worked!
