Ready to Upgrade?

VisionX 6.6.601 is available in the download area!

Download the update to take advantage of the new web & mobile components and performance enhancements.

Our mobile app will be available in the stores within the next few weeks!

The version contains our latest libraries and bugfixes, especially react UI and flutter UI features. Both UIs are included in VisionX 6.6.521.

Our (native) app has many new customization features for your individual app experience.

! It's now built with Flutter 3.44.2 !

UI Customizing
No records available
General styling
Style the menu
Tabset
Menu options
Flutter 3.44 support

Our reactUI is based on latest standards and security fixes.

We don't have any known vulnerabilities. Especially the signature pad is important because we rewrote it from scratch.
The table got a small but nice update: The header is now sticky and doesn't scroll with records.

We offer a new WAR modification tool

WAR modification

We have new AddOns

Authentication AddOns
Security Protocol AddOn
Entra ID Integration for VisionX

An EA version is not intended for production use, but is great for development.

The release of VisionX 6.6 is planned for July

Have fun!

With it, you can change the database configuration in already created WAR files. Since the configuration is encrypted, changing the username or password usually requires you to replace the configuration or create a new WAR file altogether. While that isn't a massive effort, it is unnecessary.

That’s why we’ve created a small tool to save you a bit of time. You can use it either with a graphical user interface (GUI) or via command-line parameters without the GUI. The tool was developed as a desktop application using standard JVx and the Swing UI.

Here is what it looks like:

WAR modification tool

If you are interested in the tool, just let us know!

The core app and library flutter_jvx was successfully migrated to the new build system. We currently have some warnings about missing Swift Package Manager support for the packages:

• webview_cookie_manager_plus
• push
• open_filex
• flutter_tts

and missing AGP support for:

• device_info_plus
• file_picker
• file_saver
• flutter_device_platform_id
• flutter_timezone
• flutter_tts
• haptic_feedback
• mobile_scanner
• package_info_plus
• push
• screen_brightness_android
• speech_to_text
• wakelock_plus

But hopefully these will be solved by package developers in next few months.

• Perceptible performance gains

  The app is even smoother and faster than before. It looks absolutely amazing!

• Future ready

  Support for latest device features.

• Bugfixes

  Many bugs are only fixed in the latest version and won't be patched in older versions, like Keyboard toggle if you switch between input fields.

With latest core app, we fixed some smaller problems like table formatting and we introduced a nice feature:

Records available

The table shows if more records are available with two arrows in the right bottom corner. It's a small improvement but vey helpful

We also show a real checkbox in table edit dialog if you enable multi-line selection:

Real checkbox

In older versions the checkbox was a UTF-8 font:

UTF-8 Checkbox

And last but not least, we pimped the menu a little bit.
In previous versions, you couldn't scroll the last line of the menu up, which caused menu items to get cut off or overlapped on some devices. Now, you can pull the menu up a bit higher to prevent that from happening.

We'll be updating our app in the app stores soon.

Security protocol Add-On

This AddOn adds an additional layer to your application and makes it possible to see login failures, successful logins and logouts, with additional information:

Protocol screen

It's a must-have

Simply get in contact with us!

• Entra ID authentication (with user and group sync)

  The Entra ID authentication uses Azure AD/Entra ID for authentication and synchronizes user and group information from Azure to your application.

  This AddOn supports SLO with your browser.

• AD authentication (with user and group sync)

  The AD authentication uses Kerberos to authenticate against your active directory like Samba or Microsoft AD (Windows Server) and synchronizes user and group information to your application.

  This AddOn supports SSO with your browser.

  This AddOn is a more powerful version of our current AD authentication AddOn which doesn't synchronize user and group information.

• LDAP authentication (with user and group sync)

  This AddOn simply allows manual authentication against your LDAP server. It synchronizes user and group information from LDAP to your application.

All Add-Ons are available separately and can be purchased.
These are not free add-ons.

Simply get in contact with us.

The AddOn integrates seamlessly into your application, giving you the flexibility to choose your preferred login method. The authentication type is determined by the URL you access, for example:

• http://myapp.visionx.cloud/AzureADAuth/ (without Entra ID login)
• http://myapp.visionx.cloud/AzureADAuth/azauth (with Entra ID login)

If Entra ID login is selected, the Entra ID login mask will appear before the application loads:

EntraID login

After a successful login, you will be redirected straight to the application and signed in automatically. All available screens will be visible immediately, based on your specific permissions. During the login process, we automatically sync app roles and user groups from Entra ID to your application.

We support the following web technologies:

• vaadin UI
• react UI
• flutter UI (mobile mode)

On mobile devices, the login process works similarly to the browser, but the login mask is displayed directly within the app:

Entra ID (mobile)

In addition to signing in, you can also change your password or perform a secure logout from Entra ID.

All you need to get started is our Entra ID AddOn.

With our new compact mode for the header and/or footer, you can free up valuable space for your menu items - perfect for screen-heavy applications.
Whether you prefer a generous, information-rich layout or a sleek, space-saving design, the choice is now yours.

Here are the differences:

Have a nice weekend!

A tabset should feel effortless - fast, responsive, and intuitive. That's why we’ve taken this component back to the workshop and given it a serious upgrade.

Here’s a quick look at how the new version stacks up against the old one:

Tabset (new)

That makes using a tabset so much more fun

With just a few tweaks to spacing, corner radius, and colors, you can give your app an entirely new look. A couple of entries in mobile_style.mxl — and your app transforms instantly.

Look forward to more customization options
