The Get Data from Database block enables apps to retrieve and display real-time data from external or organisational databases. This feature helps streamline workflows by dynamically fetching data based on user input.

Use it for tasks like auto-filling employee details, retrieving inventory stock levels, fetching asset inspection records, or preloading customer order details. Admins can define specific database queries, control which fields are displayed, and use the fetched data across other fields in the app. Click here to know more.

The Progress Bar block allows users to visually track form completion based on configured fields. It updates dynamically as fields are filled and can be used for field inspections, incident reporting, assessments, and feedback forms. Admins can define how progress is calculated using formulas and customize progress text for better clarity. Click here to know more.

The new viewer blocks in Design App allow you to display different types of content within your app:

• Image Viewer: Show images for guidelines, product references, or event announcements.

• Video Viewer: Embed videos for training, product demos, or event recaps.

• PDF Viewer: Provide direct access to company policies, manuals, or agreements.

Users can view these files without needing to download them, making information easily accessible within the app. Click the below help guide links to know how to set up these blocks:

Users can now configure a timer in the Button Block to control form actions. The timer can:

• Start when the button is clicked and expire after a set duration.

• Expire at a specific date and time, useful for timed tasks like exams.

• Trigger actions on expiry, such as auto-submitting the form or invalidating it.

This feature ensures precise time control for submissions and task completions. Click here to know more.

Clappia’s Code Workflow Node allows you to add custom JavaScript to handle advanced logic and data processing within workflows. Use it to perform complex calculations, process incoming data, or make API requests to bring in information, like location-based addresses or custom formats. Define your code’s output to use directly in other nodes, such as Email or Create Submission, creating automated actions based on the results of your code.

If you’re new to coding, you can start with the example provided in the Code Workflow Node, and with tools like ChatGPT, you can generate custom scripts tailored to your requirements. Click here to know more.
