VisionX 5.6.2016 is out
We're happy to announce that VisionX 5.6.2016 is available!
It's an update of 5.6.925 with bugfixes, but also has some new features:
- With VisionX 5.6.2016 it's possible to define dependent comboboxes. This means that the list of shown records can be restricted.
- Another big new feature is that it's possible to merge the database structure (currently, no data support) during database installation. Simply upgrade your production database instead of creating a new database. Sure, it's still possible to create a new database, but it's optional. The data import can be done with our CSV Import AddOn because your production system will have different data as your development system. So it's usually very difficult to merge data automatically.
- We have the experimental new charts and gauges integrated. The new charts are based on chartJS. To use the experimental feature, it's required to enable it manually.
- It's now possible to use our cloud PDF converter service if you don't need your own in-house converter service. The cloud PDF converter service is optional and not part of VisionX. It's a perfect match if you use our VisionX cloud and require PDF documents.
- Our new web UI (reactUI) is updated. It's already possible to clone the open source project, build it (create a bundle) and use your own build with VisionX.
The new release is available for all our customers. We'll release the next Early Access version in the next few days.
So, keep reading our News!

VisionX 5.6 bugfix update release
Yesterday, we released VisionX 5.6.458. It's a bugfix version with 3 changes:
- Application search
The application search bar will be shown if you have more than 5 applications in the list. Sometimes the search result was not correct.
- E-Mail Default Sender
We had a problem with old email configurations. If the old tag defaultsender was used, it wasn't possible to change the email settings. This was the case with installed Workflow AddOn.
- Deployment Exception
It wasn't possible to use the deployment wizard. It had an error, if you didn't use the VisionX cloud AddOn.
Simply get VisionX from your download area or register for a trial version.

VisionX 5.6 is available
I'm happy to announce that VisionX 5.6.457 is available.
It's one of this magic moments where everything is perfect.
VisionX 5.6 is the biggest update after 5.5. It contains many bugfixes but even more new features. The new features are described here. We still have so many ideas to improve the development process and to help people creating own (enterprise) applications, so be curious what else is to come.
After a release is before the next release, so our next release will focus on UX and Smart Bricks. A smart brick is a small unit with big features. Think about user management. Sounds simple, but can be complex if you think about user and roles. Such simple thing can be a smart brick in VisionX. Simply use the user management smart brick and get full support for user and roles management without additional thinking.
We're going to do a little update to our UI designer to save mouse clicks and make simple things even easier.
If you have a question or want to know more details, just leave a message.
The download area already contains links to the latest version of VisionX.
Have fun, creating your own applications.

VisionX 5.5 with more features than ever
Our latest release is now available, just in time for the holidays. Our elves… ahem, our developers... have been very busy this year building the functionality you’ve been asking for. With this release you should be able to build amazing applications with even more functions, faster and easier!
Native mobile client
We’ve put our existing native clients on completely new technological footing. The mobile client is developed with Google’s Flutter framework, which makes it possible to develop truly native mobile apps for iOS and Android with a single code base. This means that apps can look identical on both platforms or iOS apps can have the typical Apple look (Cupertino Controls) while Android apps appear in Google Material Design.
The user interfaces of VisionX mobile applications are now 1:1 identical with the web applications, so any mobile application can be implemented according to the customer’s individual requirements. If very specific UI elements or features are needed, the mobile app can be extended at the Dart code level in the Flutter framework, or even with native Object C or Android SDK code. Customizing examples are provided, as well as an API. With all of these changes, visual designability in VisionX is still preserved. And while we’re talking about mobile, the new comprehensive responsive functionality of VisionX is very helpful - see below.
Previously you could only preview mobile views directly on a device. Now you can look at a live preview in your browser with the mobile simulator. This makes designing for mobile much faster and more intuitive.
And if all of this is Greek to you, don’t worry. It simply translates to easier design and testing of mobile apps with better user interfaces.
Platform responsive design
Responsive design refers to a flexible web design approach that “responds” to the size and capabilities of the device. For example, on a phone users would see content shown in a single column view; a tablet might show the same content in two columns. Images may be resized and menus might be displayed in a completely different form.
We have made our existing responsive design designable through the VisionX User Interface Designer. You can now determine which group of elements are automatically wrapped on smartphones, or if you should determine yourself how the elements should be arranged. The frequently used editing panel already contains the typical default settings, and so all new screens are automatically responsive, including detail view. This applies immediately not only to web apps but also to mobile and desktop applications. So you can be sure your apps look great, no matter what device the user has or what size the window is.
CRUD REST service control
Most apps don’t stand on their own; they connect with internal or third-party apps and databases to send or retrieve information, most often through REST APIs. VisionX support for REST services just got easier.
In addition to REST support in the workflow engine, we’ve now added powerful CRUD REST support. This makes working with REST services as easy as working with database tables, with just a few clicks. Out of the box we support more than 50 REST services from various standard software and SaaS services. Through Zapier (an amazing web app that allows you to automate actions between different web apps) we can actually support over 2000 apps with countless services.
Just a few of the many popular applications we directly support: SAP, Salesforce, Sharepoint, Zapier, OData, Asana, ClickSend, Google, Jira, OneSignal, Slack, Stripe, Trello, Twitter and Cronetwork.
You can also configure CRUD REST services yourself for other REST services more easily than with other vendors, in order to integrate any system with your VisionX applications.
Query editor
With the new Query Editor, even business users / citizen developers can easily query data and use it in screens, dashboards or reports. Links between tables are automatically taken into account and group functions such as sum, average, etc. can be used. This makes it much easier to develop advanced automation for report generation and much more.
210+ actions and improved action editor
We provide a huge library of built-in actions, like sending an email or getting approval, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. With a total of more than 210 actions, business users can add a lot more functions and logic to their applications. For this purpose, we have also greatly improved the function of the Action Editor. This includes action categories, intuitive action search function and action documentation. Many new visual entry helpers are available for selecting action parameters to make it very easy to use, for instance color selection, moving actions and much more.
Here is a selection of new functions:
- Parameters to pass to screens or to save temporary values
- Duplicate record
- Make values in columns unique
- Set all kinds of UI properties
- Set style and more
User Profiles Add On - Improved:
- Save filters by name
- AND / OR support
- More filter operators
- Exclude columns from full-text filters
Usability improvement and more features:
- Preview function in the new Screen Wizard to preview the results of the selected screen layout
- Improved screen layout
- User interface designer usability improved (especially with the Advanced FormLayout)
- Performance improvements in the User Interface Designer
- Performance improvements with big data models at Postrges and Oracle
- Comboboxes have been extended with a new Master Data Edit Screen, so that the selectable values of the combobox can be edited immediately
- Installer provided with trusted Windows Certificate
And last but not least, more than 150 bugs were fixed.
The download area already contains links to the latest version of VisionX.
Please report any problems as usual and have fun turning your vision into reality!

VisionX 5.4 Update release is available
VisionX 5.4.2450 is available!
It's a small update release with following improvements:
- MySql database support
We fixed a problem with app export (from embedded PostgreSql) and re-import into a MySql database. It wasn't possible to configure combobox columns.
- Popup Menu button click
Sometimes, a click on the arrow of a popup menu button, didn't show the popup and triggered the button action instead.
- Screen generation
A new screen with only one table was generated with an additional "white" panel.
- Filter AddOn update
We improved the Filter AddOn and now support And/Or grouping. It's also possible to save and load filter settings.
Some impressions:
Filter AddOn
Load settings
- Filter Editor API
We improved our Filter Editor API. It's now possible to define the Full-text Filter column names and also which column names can be filtered in general. It's possible to group filter editors by condition (or, and, ...). This enhancement is relevant for developers.
