The "Dashboard" allows users to work with panels in the same place. This feature can help you to access records and to update them without switching between pages. You can see below an example about how to add Articles, Contacts and Newsletter Subscribers in the Dashboard.
You can set up a default value for each field except the FILE type fields. This feature helps you when you add records that are having one or more fields with the same values (ex. the records with the same category)
You can easily hide fields in the Record window. This feature helps you to focus on the most important fields. The hidden fields are available until you refresh the entire page.
The "Keep Window Active" feature allows you to add records without clicking on the Add New Record icon each time. Please take a look at the following video to see how it works with and without this feature.
The "Search" feature works with the main column only (the main column is next to Record #). For the rest of the fields you must open the Advanced Filter feature.
The "Advanced Filter" feature works will all fields except the Status field and the FILE type fields. "Rec.Date" means "Recording Date" field and you can filter by this field very easy as you can see below.
You can order the records list by Status, Record Number or by the main field by clicking on the column header. For the rest of the fields you should use the "Advanced Filter" section.
The "Extra Column(s)" allows you to see the content of the other fields in the records list panel. You can display one extra column or multiple extra columns with more than three fields. The old versions (1.X & 2.X) has "Additional Fields" label instead of "Extra Columns(s)".
You can use "Hidden Sections" in order to have displayed only the important fields in your panel. You can see how it works a hidden section in the following video.
This feature allows you to update the relating tables when you update the related table by opening a new panel. These relating tables can be also updated by accessing their own menu options.
The Triggers feature allows you to open an information window, to update records in a table or to send an email. You can see below how this feature works.
The default "Page Navigation" works with a list of available pages, and the "Simplified Page Navigation" works with a field instead. This feature is very useful for large databases, as you can see in the video below.
The Inline SysPanel allows you to edit web pages with a useful WYSIWYG editor. This new feature works with 6 Elements (Text, Image, Video, File, Table and Space) and helps you to add new sections into the website pages.
