Make your Qodly applications dynamic and interactive with states
States play a crucial role in creating dynamic and responsive interfaces in 4D Qodly Pro. They allow you to control the display and behavior of widgets based on specific conditions, such as a user’s role, privileges, or data from your database.
This blog explores this concept, presents the different types of states, and illustrates their use through examples from the Performance Review application to help you understand how to leverage them effectively.
Qodly Studio for 4D: Dynamic User Interfaces with Page States
With 4D 20 R6, Qodly Studio for 4D introduced an exciting new feature: Page States. Perhaps you’ve already come across our previous post, but let’s explore what makes this feature so valuable for dynamic UIs.
Imagine UIs that adapt instantly to different user steps or contexts.
Here are some common use cases where Page States shine:
- Enable or disable components based on user actions (e.g., activate the “Save” button only when all mandatory fields are filled).
- Switch between light and dark modes with a simple toggle.
- Restrict access to actions (read, update, etc.) based on user privileges.
