Jetveo Platform Roadmap

Application Backup Configuration

We have implemented configuration options for scheduling application database backups. Users can set individual schedules for backups on an hourly basis, by day of the week, or by day of the month. For on-premise deployments, users have the flexibility to define custom folders for storing the database backups.

Signature Component

We have added the Signature Component, which offers a straightforward interface for capturing handwritten signatures. This feature is particularly useful for sign-off forms

Document Preview Component

We have introduced the Document Preview Component, which allows developers to display previews of various document types, including images, PDFs, Word documents, and Excel spreadsheets.

Database Query Enhancements

As part of our efforts to provide an EF Core-like experience, we have introduced support for the Local collection on EntityTable. This collection contains entities that have been added to the dataset but have not yet been saved to the database.Furthermore, we have improved the Find() method on EntityTable to prioritize searches through the Local collection first, resulting in enhanced performance.

Database Query Enhancements

We have incorporated support for EF-like methods such as Include() and ThenInclude() for eager loading, as well as AsSplitQuery for query splitting. This enhancement brings you closer to a native Entity Framework Core experience.

Application Time-Zone Support

This feature enables users to specify a timezone for each individual application instance.

.NET 8

The entire Jetveo platform, along with all end-user applications, has been upgraded to the latest .NET 8.

Code Reviews

Added a new feature to review changes in the code prior to releasing and also between the different released versions.

API Improvements

Numerous enhancements have been made to the APIs, including the addition of custom authentication, the ability to handle custom request models, and the functionality to generate child entities via CRUDL API's Create methods.

Date range overlap filters

A new data grid filter has been introduced that allows for filtering date ranges based on their overlap.

Package Search Enhancements

The package search functionality is now enhanced to sift through custom code, templates, and commands for an improved search experience.

Rework of application logs

The application logs have undergone an overhaul to enhance the user experience in terms of better navigation, viewing, and searching capabilities within the logs.

Public Access for Documents

The feature allows developers to mark document attributes with a "Public Access" flag. This enables unauthenticated users accessing from public pages to view these documents.

App Menu Headings

The headings provide developers with the capability to segregate individual sections of the application's menu for enhanced navigation and organization.

Pdf Generation tool

Launched a new PDF generation API that allows developers to create PDF documents from HTML content.

Async Readonly execution mode for Commands

Implemented a new 'Async Readonly' configuration option for commands that enables them to execute independently of the standard command queue, avoiding blockages from other processes.

Client evaluation mode for Datagrids and List pages

Introduced a Client evaluation mode for DataGrids and List pages, which ensures column expressions can execute virtually any code without the risk of database query issues.

Introduced an enhanced Application Logs dialog

The upgraded Application Logs dialog now supports advanced filtering and full-text searches.

Support for custom OpenID Connect (OIDC) providers

Support for custom OpenID Connect (OIDC) providers has been added, broadening deployment options in on-premises settings.

Added Slovak as a new localization language.

The platform now includes Slovak as a new localization language, allowing developers to integrate Slovak translations into their applications.

Component exceptions logging

Enhanced error logging for exceptions occurring in UI Component expressions.

Hosted services

Added support for creating background services in apps

DI Container improvements

Added automatically registered services to the App.Services container to provide database access and logging for use with Hosted Services or other code.

New C# Code formatter

The platform has implemented a C# language formatter utilizing the Roslyn platform.

Global Usings import dialog

Introduced a new dialog that enables developers to quickly add multiple global usings by simply pasting the usings section from their existing code.

My profile dialog

A new interface has been introduced, enabling administrative users to modify their settings and change their passwords.

Command Invoke API

The new API for Invoking Commands enables you to initiate the execution of additional commands from within an existing command or workflow handler.

Filters on Kanban component

Now you can set up filters on Kanban components, similar to DataGrids.

Datagrid filters persistence

The Datagrid now retains filter settings when you leave a page and come back to it.

Logging

The addition of logging interface to help developers analyze their code and simplify debugging.

Application Debug Messages

As part of the Log Features, see above, automatic debugging messages can provide more access to the internal workings of an app. Command executions show results, the time in the queue, and the time it took to execute. API endpoints log incoming requests.

Test Command Interface

Developers can now test and run commands directly inside the administration interface. This allows a code-run loop, with defined input values, where the user can edit on-the-fly for immediate results.

Chart Components

Additional options for visual representations of data, including multiple graphs and charts.

Standalone Pages

Independent pages that can be placed throughout the app. They act like Dashboards, and they can include Data Grids, Attachments, Images, Text, Action Buttons.

Login Page Redesign

Redesign of the login page of end apps. Will allow users to customize background image within planned Branding feature.

Final App Redesign

Complete redesign for the end-app visuals and user experience

Layout Flexibility

Support for a new "free layout" to allow greater flexibility for the placement of components within page layouts

New Onboarding

Implementation of an introductory Boot Camp, which gives new users a tour of the App Builder while developing and releasing a simple app, and the publication of Advanced Topics, which provide additional step-by-step tutorials for more advanced features. The learning curve is short for senior programmers and empowers junior programmers to quickly develop the necessary skills.

Headless CMS Template for Gatbsy

Implementation of a headless CMS template to connect Jetveo apps to the Gatsby framework (https://www.gatsbyjs.com/) for a graphic boost to the user interface and additional flexibility for non-technical users to create and manage content.

Migration to Microsoft Azure Cloud

Entire infrastructure moved from a simple Docker solution to full Kubernetes in the Microsoft Azure cloud to provide the same level of security and performance used by many major international companies and Microsoft.

Overhaul of Administration

Redesign for the Platform: Consolidation of App Packages to include related instances; addition of diagnostics with donut graphs for Users, Data Storage, and API Calls; and implementation of traffic-light system for app instances. Redesign for the App Builder: Reordering of the sections in the sidebar menu to the following: Data, UI, Business, Code, Config, Security, and Integrations; establishment of a side panel for each section to show related subsections and the individual pages; implementation of an IDE-like tab system; adjustments to the layout of individual pages; and change of framework color to blue, from purple.

CRUDL APIs

Addition of an amazing new feature to implement simple and powerful CRUDL APIs in order to allow Create, Read, Update, Delete, and List operations on the entities through remote access to the app database.

Kanban Component

Implementation of a Kanban component to provide a quick graphic workflow for Dashboards and other parts of the User Interface.
