Just a small update to improve the performance of the backend used for online booking.
Deployed a small update that fixes an issue in FileMaker when using a map only source and enabling the “Limit to map bounds” option would result in all map events being fetched rather than properly limiting them to bounds.
Today’s update adds local caching for group settings, greatly speeding up how DayBack loads. (This is the change that was most recently in Beta.) Speed increases will be especially noticeable on mobile or slow internet connections. (Part 1 sped up online booking. Details are here.)
This change allows DayBack to asynchronously fetch all group settings at once and cache those settings locally in the browser using indexDB. This will make the speed at which DayBack loads more consistent, and testing shows up to a 200% speedup in loading group settings. DayBack now caches access tokens on the server to speed up reloads and navigation back to DayBack. Users will see this speed when they first open DayBack and when they arrive back at the calendar from other Salesforce pages or FileMaker layouts.
Pulled due slow refreshes when users were logged into different DayBack instances in the same browser. This is a big update with lots of under-the-hood improvements. This change allows DayBack to asynchronously fetch all group settings at once and cache those settings locally in the browser using indexDB. This will make the speed at which DayBack loads more consistent, and testing shows up to a 200% speedup in loading group settings. DayBack now caches access tokens on the server to speed up reloads and navigation back to DayBack. This release fixes an issue that could cause the DayBack logo to cover up modals on initial load on mobile. It also fixes an issue where leaving draft mode could leave a space at the top of the screen until navigating back to the calendar.
The latest beta deployment includes a big change to the way the app handles settings. This change allows DayBack to asynchronously fetch all group settings at once and cache those settings locally in the browser using indexDB. This will both speed up initial loading of DayBack as well as subsequent loads while making DayBack more resilient to slow networks. It will also now cache access tokens for all sources server-side to help speed up reloads and navigation back to DayBack. A new api endpoint has been added to update environment variables from an action or even outside DayBack. This deployment also includes a few bug fixes: preventing the DayBack loading image from covering the group selector on startup, and removing a potential gap at the top of the screen when disabling draft mode.
We have released a new version of DayBack’s online booking engine that is much faster. This applies to online booking deployments where folks manually manipulate their availability — it doesn’t really affect service-booking deployments where availability is more rule-based. Speed-ups for that are in QA! But for deployments like our own booking engine, this is a big boost. Huge thanks to Michael for the insightful refactor!!
This update fixes a bug that prevented the drag and drop highlight from appearing on some columns in the resource schedule view when dragging the new event plus button or unscheduled events into the calendar. It improves the appearance of dragged unscheduled events by making the background a bit transparent. It fixes an issue when a label in the event popover changes (for example, selecting a contact rather than a lead), which could cause the content in the popover to become misaligned. And it adds the admin “Tools” option to mobile so you can now use snapshots, enable draft mode, and perform settings migrations from the phone. Notably, you can now revert to a previous snapshot on mobile! It adds a new action callback method for On Click actions that can run when the popover is shown and rendered. Finally, this also improves load times when visiting the sign-up and sign-in pages by reducing the payload of the content in the right-hand side iframe.

The update we recently had in beta is now live. This update fixes a bug that would cause events to get queried twice when a calendar source was set to “Don’t show items unless the calendar is filtered” or when the option to only fetch events when the date range changes was set to “no” and either “Don’t show items unless the calendar is filtered” or “Include resource and status filters” was enabled for a source. Those two options are described here: https://docs.dayback.com/article/137-speed
