Map areas are a key feature of VertiGIS Studio Mobile, enabling users to work with a map in a completely disconnected state. But how can you help ensure your users have the data downloaded and updated before they go into the field? In this blog post we'll look at using VertiGIS Studio Workflow to notify users when their data may be stale, and even to automatically trigger a download or update as soon as they open their app.
VertiGIS Studio Mobile 5.22 includes an exciting new capability for working with commands, operations, and events. This capability allows app authors to execute custom, configured actions in response to events raised in Mobile. To opt in to this behavior, app authors register an event listener (subscriber) for any given Mobile event. When this event is raised in Mobile, the corresponding configured command or operation is invoked.
Workflow 5.21 includes a new TypeScript form element API that you can use for building custom form elements using the VertiGIS Studio Workflow TypeScript SDK. The existing patterns and APIs you've been using for years to build custom form elements will continue to work, but we encourage you to try the new API when building new form elements.
