Filter Access to your Data with a Complete System of Permissions
Filter access to data is a must-have feature to prevent malicious access to your application.
So far, you could expose or not expose as a REST resource a dataclass and some of its attributes. It was already a convenient means to restrict access to your data. Still, we’re thrilled to deliver in the v19R8 a powerful and fully customizable system to protect your data from unauthorized users. A system to protect your data depends on who is accessing it and which data is accessed.
Sections are Coming to 4D for Android
In a data list, the results are usually sorted on a relevant field to help the user find the desired data quickly and easily. Another trick to make the reading clearer is to group the results by adding sections.
Something that is possible since 4D v19 R8. Let’s delve into the details!
Microsoft 365: Copy, Move, Reply and Delete emails with the Microsoft Graph API
To access the data in Microsoft 365 like emails, Microsoft is deprecating Basic authentication for IMAP and POP3 and is increasingly promoting the Graph API.
From v19 R8, you now have new built-in commands in 4D NetKit to natively automate Microsoft 365 emails operations, such as copy, move, reply and delete emails.
4D View Pro: Customize the Style of your Tables
Tables are an integral part of 4D View Pro documents, so we have provided many table-related features over the releases of 4D. 4D v19 R8 adds a new one related to styles so that the table fits perfectly with the rest of your document.
From now on, the VP Set table theme provides a way to apply by programming one of the predefined table styles. If none of these styles meet your need, you can define your own theme and apply it to your table.
Test your Windows SDI Application
It’s been a long time since you could provide your customers with merged applications in SDI mode.
We know that testing an SDI application can be challenging, so with 4D v19 R8, you can view the result of your application without the need to build your standalone or client application.
Keep reading for all the details.
4D Write Pro : Say Welcome to Floating Text Boxes!
4D Write Pro is an essential product for creating business documents. That’s why with every feature release, we give you more features to nail your work, and this time, 4D v19 R8 is bringing floating text boxes to 4D Write Pro.
So if you are required to use text boxes, let’s say, to create company letters in compliance with the company identity, you are free to get started right away.
Microsoft 365: Receive Emails with the Microsoft Graph API
To access the data in Microsoft 365 like emails, Microsoft is deprecating Basic authentication for IMAP and POP3 and is increasingly promoting the Graph API.
4D v19 R3 brought the 4D Netkit component to manage the OAuth 2.0 connection and the mail sending through the Graph API.
In the v19 R8, we add new commands to receive emails and list your mailbox folders.
Automatic Row Heights in Collection Based List Boxes
List boxes are the most versatile and customizable form objects. Automatic row heights were already possible for array-based list boxes. With the arrival of 4D v19 R8, this possibility is now extended to list boxes based on collections… and entity selections!
