Get an easy start with Qodly pages in the 4D explorer
4D Qodly Pro offers all the tools you need to design, build and run web forms for your 4D application and is fully integrated to 4D.
Since 4D 21 R2, you can now create your Qodly pages from the 4D explorer as you are used to for 4D forms. Moreover, you can also open Qodly pages from the 4D explorer also!
This makes 4D Qodly Pro easier to pick up.
4D 21 R2 Beta Starts Today
Beta testing for 4D 21 R2 starts today, introducing document-aware AI workflows, semantic result ranking, modern Windows UI rendering, and a series of focused improvements across the editor, components, and 4D View Pro, designed to reduce friction and keep intent closer to the code.
4D 21 LTS is Here
4D 21 LTS, the most feature-rich version of 4D to date, is now available.
Over the past two years, 4D has moved forward at an exceptional pace. Feature releases introduced major foundations across AI, networking, security, data modeling, web integration, and developer tooling. These innovations were not isolated improvements. They reshaped how applications are built, extended, and maintained over the long term.
Session handling in 4D Qodly Pro
Ever wanted full control over what happens when a user’s session expires, without wrestling with fixed behaviors or bolting on your own timeout logic? Not by maintaining custom timers, juggling tokens, or hoping the UI guesses what the backend is doing?
Session handling in 4D Qodly Pro gives you a pair of application events you can wire into your own UX. One warns the user before the cutoff, the other fires when the session is officially gone. You decide what they trigger.
Enhance your Desktop Interface with Web widgets using 4D Qodly Pro
Ever wanted to enrich your user interface with widgets known from websites, such as a navigation map? Not by learning JavaScript and dealing with CSS and HTML and fighting to pass data between these two worlds?
A new integration between Web Areas and 4D Qodly Pro allows you to deliver rich, dynamic interfaces within your 4D forms while keeping all your business logic inside 4D Server.
Embed Qodly pages in a 4D web area without extra cost
With 4D 21, a new opportunity opens up: seamlessly embed a Qodly page inside a web area on a 4D form with no additional 4D Client license required. Powered by 4D Qodly Pro, you now have full access to a new generation of modern, dynamic user interfaces. No need to choose between desktop and web forms anymore: combine both, and evolve at your own pace.
Happy New Year 2026 🎉
As the year comes to a close, we want to wish you a very Happy New Year 2026.
This moment between years carries a certain clarity. The pressure eases. Perspective returns. You can feel what worked, what flowed, and what is ready to move faster. It is a good place to stand. Calm. Focused. Looking ahead with intent.
A few things are already lining up for the year to come.
ORDA – Permissions – Restrict / allow web access to the resources in one click
Discover here, how, in web processes, you can protect your resources (data + business logic) from malicious accesses and from unauthorized users … in one click.
In development mode, set the Restrict access by default property to FALSE to concentrate on your code organization, data model, Qodly pages architecture, tests … without any restriction to use data or to call functions.
When ready to implement user profiles, just set the Restrict access by default property to TRUE to ensure nobody will access your data and business logic without being explicitly authorized.
Event Report in 4D Qodly Pro: See Every Interactions at a Glance
Creating browser based user interface with 4D Qodly Pro is very similar to use the 4D form editor. Clicking a button calls a 4D method, as you are used to work. And the method executes your (often already existing) business logic.
To do so, you define events, either for widgets or the whole page (form). Browsers work a little different than a desktop app, so there are additional events and the execution sequence might be different. Events Reports help you to better understand this.
