Key Improvements:

a. Enhanced Rule Structure: No more endless cascades of rules! Now, you can encapsulate many conditions within a single rule. Set If conditions, else if conditions, and more, all in one place. Grouping related conditions establish clear boundaries for your app's behavior.

b. Simplified Rule Creation: Our Natural Language Processing (NLP) capability has taken the convenience a step further. If manually defining rules feels time-consuming, express your condition and corresponding action in plain text within the NLP section. Our platform will automatically process the text and effortlessly set the conditions for you. Say goodbye to the hassle and hello to ease!

The enhanced business rules feature in the platform allows users to easily define rule-based behaviors in different parts of the system. Whether it's setting up triggers, connecting with external services, creating custom functions, managing data functions, configuring notifications, or automating workflows using Quick flows, the platform provides a unified solution for applying rules across these components.

10. Introducing Refresh & Update operations in Data Sync for accurate data replication and periodic data updates

The addition of Refresh and Update Operations in our Data Sync feature, designed to enhance the accuracy and timeliness of replicated data in Quixy data tables. These new functionalities provide significant benefits by ensuring your replicated data stays up-to-date and accurately reflects any modifications made to the master data.

Refresh Operation: With the Refresh Operation, you can effortlessly maintain a replica of the 3rd party master data in Quixy data tables, regardless of the modifications made to the master data. This includes actions such as deleting records or editing data within a record. The Refresh Operation clears all existing records in the Quixy data tables before syncing them with the master data. Doing so can make you confident that you are working with the most up-to-date and accurate data.

Update Operation: On the other hand, the Update Operation serves a more subtle purpose by periodically updating existing records. This feature ensures that your replicated data remains synchronized with the ever-changing nature of the master data. As changes occur in the master data, the Update Operation will apply those changes to the corresponding records (according to the configured mapping made in the Data Sync configuration page) in the Quixy data tables. By automating this process, you can save time and effort while keeping your data consistently accurate.

11. Quixy Platform welcomes Landscape Mode for Tablets and iPads

We're excited to announce that we've implemented JWT token authentication (Oauth 2 JWT) for App Integration in addition to the existing authentication types. Generate a unique token to authenticate your requests. Once verified, your application can securely access data, ensuring its safety. The token's validity duration should be at least one month and not exceed three years.
