Mobile App Development Toolkit

Convert model-driven app into a Woodford app project

Showcase Resco mobile experience without Woodford knowledge. You can now convert model-driven apps from your Power Platform or Dynamics organizations into Resco app projects in a few easy clicks. Whether you are a partner who wants to prepare a quick demo in the customer environment or a Power Platform admin who wants to try Resco without deep-diving into our app project designer tools...

  1. Install Resco Suite in your Power Platform or Dynamics organization.
  2. Start the Resco Suite app and go to Woodford.
  3. TBD.

Use MSAL for SharePoint and Exchange

If you are SharePoint and Exchange integration in the Resco Mobile CRM app, you can now use MSAL for connecting to these services.

Connect your app to Exchange using MSAL.

Woodford: new project wizard

The New Project Wizard in Woodford is even newer than before. For "Standard Users", the changes are primarily cosmetic. For "External Users", you can now select from multiple default project templates as your starting point. See also the next feature.

Auth0 support

Resco Mobile CRM now supports Auth0 as the identity provider for authenticating users of external projects.

Expanding/collapsing of cards

Users of the mobile app can now tap anywhere in the card header to collapse or expand the card. They no longer have to aim for a tiny expand/collapse zone.

Views with horizontal scrolling

Traditionally, lists and views for the mobile app are designed as narrow as possible to fit on the screen of a mobile device. However, some use cases warrant large lists with many columns, particularly when working with the Windows versions of the Resco app. For these scenarios, Woodford admins can enable horizontal scrollbars for some of their views.

Filter fetches and AI

When editing filter fetches in Woodfoord (for example, in view filter or Sync Filter), you can now ask the AI to summarize an existing filter fetch, or even ask it to generate a filter fetch based on your text prompt. Standard disclaimers regarding the competence of AI apply.

AI-enhanced filter editing

Export project customization

For troubleshooting, Resco support may occasionally ask for your app project. Until now, the best option has been to Export the project from Woodford. Such export includes your custom images and offline HTML content but may be incomplete if you use project hierarchy. In this release, we offer an alternative export function called Dump. It exports the project in a format similar to what's consumed by Resco Mobile CRM during synchronization/customization update. The dump does not include images or offline HTML content; however, information from the parent project is included.

Save Woodford projects in Azure DevOps

Woodford administrators can now store their work in Azure DevOps. This works just like the existing GitHub integration, except you select a different provider.

Modern editor for custom home screen design

The editor for custom home screen row design now offers the same look and feel as the modern view editor. You can set up the design for standard rows and section rows.

New welcome screen and demo app

The welcome screen for new users who have not yet connected the app to their online business platforms has been redesigned. Users who stick to demo data see a modernized project showcasing newer Resco features.

Redesigned login experience

TBD

InspConverter: new UI and conversion options

Our tool for converting questionnaire answers to a modern format, InspConverter, offers new features:

  • A new graphical user interface is available.
  • You can switch questionnaires to template-dependent without converting the answer storage to JSON.

The questionnaire conversion tool is available on demand; contact Resco support. See InspConverter for more details about this tool.

JSBridge: update drop-down options in editable lists

On forms, if you want to limit the options users can select in a drop-down list, you can use a rather simple rule. On editable views, this can be trickier. To allow a more focused click handling, the MobileCRM.UI.EntityList object now supports a new function onCellClick.

// This example demonstrates how to handle a click on a specific clickable/editable cell on the entity list. It works only from an iframe placed on the entity view.
function () {
    MobileCRM.UI.EntityList.onCellClick("new_service_operation", function (entityList) {
        var rowIndex = entityList.context.event.row;
        var popup = new MobileCRM.UI.MessageBox("Service Operation");
        // Add the buttons for message box
        popup.defaultText = "Cancel";
        popup.items = [
            "Installation",
            "Maintenance",
            "Repair",
            "Training"
        ];
        // If the title is too long, set the 'multi-line' to true
        popup.multiLine = true;
        popup.show(function (button) {
            // update entity property
            MobileCRM.UI.EntityList.setEntityProperty(rowIndex, "new_service_operation", popup.items.indexOf(button), false, function (error) {
                MobileCRM.bridge.alert("An error occurred: " + error);
            });
        });
    }, true);       
};
