      Easily build drill-down apps with the Navigation Designer

      Get applications built in a snap using the Navigation Designer. This new panel in the Studio helps you develop drill-down applications by visualizing the navigation paths between views and widgets in your app. Easily generate new views by dropping them from the palette onto the designer, configure navigations through the Properties panel, and customize default settings for the Navigation Designer that best fit your development needs.

      Enable your end-users to create customizable, dynamic dashboards

      Not sure which layout is best for your end-users? Let them decide! Developers may now create dynamic dashboards in DataFlex WebApps or Windows applications using FlexTron® that end-users can customize themselves. The Studio’s WebApp Designer can model widgets, and templates are available for the dashboard and widgets.

      Simplify your app development with Composite Classes

      Empower your coding by taking advantage of the new Composite class, a new object-oriented class type that allows for creating compositions of multiple objects to make developing in DataFlex easier and more flexible. Composite combines the nesting syntax of objects with reusability of classes, all fully supported in the Studio.
