Access Qodly Studio for 4D directly from your 4D server to test and debug your code
Qodly Studio for 4D allows you to extend your 4D applications with web pages. Development is integrated into 4D Developer Edition.
During the development phase, there are often times when specific features or bugs can only be replicated on a server or in a production environment. This poses a challenge for developers, who require direct access to debugging tools to efficiently resolve issues.
With the latest release of 4D 20 R7, Qodly Studio for 4D is now accessible directly from your 4D server, you can debug and test your Qodly application like never before.
Here’s a quick guide on how to make the most of this new feature.
