Released: Nov 7, 2017

Updates in 4.0

Features

• Support for Push Notifications - MobileTogether 4.0 introduces the ability to send push notifications to one or multiple devices running MobileTogether apps. MobileTogether push notifications can include a short message, a “big” message, and a payload consisting of data structured as key-value pairs. Messages can have buttons that allow the user to determine what action to take when the message is received.
• Support for Embedding a MobileTogether Solution in a Web Application - This functionality allows developers to embed one or more MobileTogether solutions directly in a web page to, for example, enable web-based form applications. Once the solution is embedded, data can be exchanged easily between the web page and its embedded MobileTogether solution using JavaScript.
• New Action: Load/Save String - This new action pair is particularly applicable for use when embedding MobileTogether app solutions in other web applications. The Load from String action can take the XML or JSON string and generate a page source. Conversely, an XML/JSON page source can be serialized to a string with the Save to String action and stored in a page source node.
• New Action: Read Folder - This new action makes it possible to retrieve a list of files and sub folders from a folder on the MobileTogether Server or client at runtime. This is important when the folder structure is not known to the app.
• New Action: Set Language - When a MobileTogether app is available in multiple languages, the language selection is set based on the default language of the device operating system. This new action makes it possible for the language of the app to be manually changed by the user.
• New Action: MapForce Transfer - With this new action, it is now possible to call MapForce Server directly from MobileTogether Server to perform data transformations required by an app.
• Server Usage Statistics App - Display various statistics about individual solutions running on that server. The Statistics app presents stats and charts on numbers of users, devices, app starts, server requests, and more, in a selected time frame. Granular filters allow you to view these stats per operating system, device type, or manufacturer; per app; and so on. You can also see stats on request counts and app starts.
