Happy Holidays from Team Alloy πŸŽ„πŸŽ

Congratulations everyone for making it to the finish line of 2023! 🏁

It's been another transformative year for Alloy. We've added several major new features over the past 12 months, providing you with new ways to manage your data and get stuff done. Additionally, there have been numerous quality-of-life improvements along the way, making it quicker and easier to perform day-to-day actions.

Here's the highlight reel:

  • Use the new Item Form Expressions Builder to create item forms that react to user input.
  • Create custom job work item designs that can be restricted to individual contractors.
  • Turn off all active map layers at once!
  • Data Explorer: show query results in a temporary map layer.
  • Data Explorer: add attribute columns more easily and see the design/interface they belong to.
  • Geometry Editor: see the dimensions of lines and polygons as you draw them.
  • Geometry Editor: your pointer can now "snap" to nearby geometry.
  • Reports: new streamlined toolbar design for adding controls to report document layouts.
  • Reports: new Join data source types that provide greater flexibility around matching data rows.
  • Workflows: parameter support that lets a manual workflow take input from a user.
  • Workflows: the ability to incorporate entire manual workflows within other workflows.
  • Mobile: edit job work items as you add them.
  • Mobile: see nearby items when editing geometry.
  • Mobile: add/remove links to parent items.

We've also continued to optimise Alloy's underlying engine, leading to greater performance and reliability, and the raising of several safety limits.

That's all from us this year. Monthly updates will resume in January, with some exciting new developments to follow. On behalf of the Alloy team, thank you for being with us in 2023. We hope you enjoy the winter holidays 🥳 🎉 and look forward to a cracking 2024!
