New search features in AppShore
Over the week end we have added two new features to the search form presents in each application. Both of these features were highly requested by customers.
Custom dates:
A user has already the opportunity to select a predefined date from a list that appears when he double clicks on a date field. He can also select a precise date from a popup calendar.
The new feature allows to set a custom period before or after a date or between two dates.
- Enter ..Mydate to search on all dates up to Mydate
- Enter Mydate.. to search on all dates from Mydate
- Enter Mydate1..Mydate2 to search on all dates between Mydate1 and Mydate2
Limits are included in the search range.
Mydate is a valid date within the date format set in the user's preferences. 12/06/2011.. will search from Dec 6th 2011 in the user set MM/DD/YYYY format or from June 12th 2011 is the format is DD/MM/YYYY.
Multi choices drop down lists:
It is now possible to select none, one or many items in a drop down list when running a search. While it is a quite simple feature from the user point of view, it has required some heavy updates on the server side to handle more complex requests that are in the case of AppShore build dynamically.
