New Designtime User Interface for AgileApps

Overview

You now have a new and improved designtime user interface for AgileApps which is in sync with the new runtime user interface that was introduced earlier. The purpose of making designtime changes is to improve the user experience and make the platform or the application more visually appealing and user-friendly. These changes can include modifications to the layout, colors, font sizes, and other visual elements of the platform. You can expect to see a refreshed and updated look and feel of the platform. The changes may be subtle or more significant, depending on the nature of the modifications.

Here are a few points to be noted:

• All new users of AgileApps, will see the new runtime and designtime UI by default on tenant creation.
• Existing users of AgileApps have the option to switch to the new designtime UI using the Company Information settings.
• After they confirm that all their functionalities are working in the new UI, they can activate this new designtime UI for all their users.

With this new designtime UI, you have the following benefits:

• Accessibility - This interface conforms with the global accessibility standards.
• Browser support - This interface is supported on all the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer Edge browsers.
• Security - The new user interface is more secure than its predecessor.
• RTL support - Right to left support is included to support locales where a user reads from right to left.
• Responsive application - The new user interface is better equipped to support more devices and multiple screen resolutions.

Impact on its Usage: The design time changes should not affect the functionality or usability of the platform or applications. You should still be able to complete the same tasks and access the same features as before. If there are any changes to the functionality or usability, that will be documented and communicated to you well in advance.
