Flowfactory 3.7.0 Technical Release Notes

FF-9010 Tooltip workflow for other controls

We are excited to introduce a new feature that enhances the functionality of tooltips across various controls in FlowFactory. As a FlowFactory developer, you can now create dynamic tooltips that can present variable values, elevating the user experience.

Key Enhancements:

• Workflow Integration for Tooltips: You can now connect a workflow that generates the text to be displayed in the tooltip. This improves the adaptability of tooltips to reflect real-time data and states.
• HTML and CSS Formatting: You can fully format tooltips with HTML tags and CSS styles, allowing for more visually engaging and informative tooltips.

Supported Controls

1. Text Edit Control - Add meaningful context directly next to your input fields.
2. Label Control - Enhance labeling with dynamic information presentation.
3. Multiline Text Control - Support complex data outputs in a concise manner.
4. Radio Button Control - Provide clarifying information for choice options.
5. Lookup Control - Offer insights into selected or search results dynamically.
6. Image Control - Describe image contents or functions with rich tooltips.
7. Rich Text Edit Control - Present formatted content to users via tooltips.

Added support for deleting assemblies from applications. It is also possible to delete other types of files that have previously been uploaded as application files.
