Script Opening and Closing the Right-Hand Sidebar
Today’s update adds a new helper function for programmatically adjusting the right-hand sidebar. This includes the ability to show and hide it or change the tab being displayed if there is more than one available. (Currently, the only tab available is the unscheduled items list. Docs on the new method are here: https://docs.dayback.com/article/124-action-objects-methods#dbkupdateAltViewoptions-X9RL7
Better Picklists in Shared Views
This update improves the behavior of viewing custom field select lists in shares if the list options are dynamically populated. Previously, list contents might not appear if lists relied on code unavailable to a public share.
Improved Mini-Calendars and Unscheduled Hover
This update fixes an issue that could cause the calendar to become unresponsive in FileMaker when opening the quick date picker while the sidebar is showing the mini calendars tab. It also resolves an issue that could trigger a calendar resize when hovering over unscheduled items where the styling is changed with an action. This would not have been noticeable in most circumstances, but with a lot of events, it could have caused issues.
New Keyboard Shortcuts
DayBack’s latest extension adds a range of new keyboard shortcuts to navigate the calendar with arrows, toggle sidebar, quick refresh, and more. Find them here: https://dayback.com/listing/extended-keyboard-shortcuts/
DayBack BETA: Improvements to Custom Actions
We are excited to announce a planned update currently in beta that includes some major improvements to how app actions and event actions work. Previously, if any action was set to “Prevent Default,” all code for each trigger type had to be grouped together. So, if you had one “Before Event Save” action with “Prevent Default” set to yes and wanted to add a second one, you’d have to merge the JS for those into a single action. This was sometimes a lot of work and resulted in more complicated actions.
Repair to Logging Into Google/MS365 from FileMaker
Today’s update resolves an issue preventing 3rd party auth windows from displaying content, preventing users from authorizing Google and MS365 from within DayBack embedded in FileMaker files.
Quickly Jump to the Next/Prev Year
This update improves the quick date picker that opens when clicking on the calendar date. It now allows for quickly navigating to a different year: customers had asked about this when comparing date ranges in analytics.
Preview New DayBack Releases in Beta Mode
Today’s update adds a new feature in admin tools called “Beta Mode.” Switching to beta mode allows an admin to run DayBack using the current pre-release codebase. Beta Mode is only enabled on the device where it was turned on and is only enabled for the user(s) who activated it. This is helpful to preview new features before they are released and to test the compatibility of customizations with upcoming core codebase changes. Please learn more about Beta Mode here: https://docs.dayback.com/article/317-beta-mode
Better Looking Title Bar
This is a small update that changes the title bar color from white to black on mobile and when saving DayBack as a desktop app.
Improved Static Settings for Self Scheduling
Today’s update is an under-the-hood enhancement to the way Online Booking deployments access calendar configurations across our load balancers. This speeds up these sites while isolating them from Firebase disruptions.
