We are excited to announce that we launched a new Omnis Studio release: Omnis Studio 11.1 Rev 37255 is now available for download from our website: www.omnis.net/developers/resources/download/index.jsp

It provides many new features and enhancements and focuses on:

  • Faster and easier development for you
  • More options for an appealing and accessible UI for your users.

New features to speed up your app development

Omnis Studio 11.1 provides some powerful enhancements in the Omnis development environment including:

  • Find and Replace Tool: updated with a new UI and enhanced with several new options, including a new Find Previous option and a new Modify Class option in the context menu.
  • SQL Browser: You can now import CSV or TSV files into a session.
  • Property Manager: You can now enter a calculation to change the value of the Location and Size properties for a group of selected objects.
  • Configuration Editor: Changes and additions to the config.json file made via the Configuration Editor are now saved in a separate userconfig.json file.

The new Studio release also includes new and enhanced Worker Objects:

  • Java Worker: This is a new Worker Object that allows you to invoke methods inside Java modules running on a background thread.
  • AWS Signature Version 4, a new authentication type in the HTTP Worker.
  • JavaScript Worker now supports ES Modules and CommonJS modules.

More power for your app development:

  • Remote Objects: You can now implement common code for both server and client methods.
  • SQL JavaScript Form Wizard: It now includes an option to create or open a database session and create the required schema classes (also available for Window and Report classes).
  • Markdown Object: This is a new control to render Markdown content in a JavaScript Remote Form or in Window classes as an HTML control.

Innovations for building attractive apps with improved usability and a better user experience

Omnis Studio 11.1 makes it even easier to build apps with a beautiful UI for any screen and device. It includes new features and enhancements that will enable you to build attractive, user-friendly apps:

  • Design Guides have been added to Remote Forms and Window classes to make your design and layout easier and more convenient.
  • Vertical Mode Tab Strip: You can arrange tabs in groups with enhanced appearance and behavior for tab groups and headings.
  • OBrowser: Support for content drag and drop has been added.
  • HTML Link: This is a new control to add links to a remote form.

Accessible Apps for Everyone

Digital accessibility means designing a product that can be used by all users – including not only people with physical disabilities, but also users with age-related limitations or temporary impairments (e.g. after sports injuries or accidents). Therefore accessibility in your applications is not a ‘nice to have’ but an important sales option and competitive advantage. And in large enterprises and public authorities it is simply a Must.

For several years Omnis Studio has supported WCAG 2.0 guidelines to fully support Accessibility. This has now been further enhanced by PDF Accessibility. PDF Universal Accessibility (PDF/UA) is supported to make it easy for you to create universally accessible PDF documents.

Upgrade to Omnis Studio 11.1 Today

Omnis Studio 11.1 Rev 37255 is now available for download from our website. Here’s the link again: www.omnis.net/developers/resources/download/index.jsp

Omnis Studio 11.1 requires new serial numbers. All customers currently supported under the ODPP or RMA can update to Studio 11.1 free of charge, and you should receive serial numbers and the latest downloads through the usual channels. Customers using Studio Now can use existing serial numbers and can download this latest revision from inside the Studio Browser.

We are excited to announce that a new Omnis Studio 11 Patch Release – Revision 36251 – is available, and it provides you with important bug fixes and also several feature enhancements augmenting your app development even further. Among the fixes and enhancements are the following:

  • Window Components: Screen Report Fields
    The $print() method has been enhanced allowing you to print from a Screen Report field to a PDF file.
  • JavaScript Components: JS Data Grid Custom Picklists
    A new client-executed method $getpicklist() has been added to the Data grid control to allow picklist columns to be specified per row.
  • JavaScript Remote Forms: Using a Promise with Client Commands
    Various “message” type client commands now return a JavaScript promise when the methods are executed on the client.
  • The Omnis Environment: Spell Checking
    Words can now be added or removed from the custom dictionary when using spell checking for window fields in end user apps, and when using the Code Editor during development.
  • Save Window Setup and Omnis Preferences
    The position information saved for various screens in the IDE has been moved from omnis.cfg to a new file called positions.cfg.
  • Debugging Methods: Method Stack Limit
    A new item ‘stackLimit’ has been added to the “default” section of the Omnis configuration file (config.json) that allows you to set the limit on the number of methods allowed on the method stack.
  • OW3 Worker Objects: Hash Worker Object
    The $initverifysignature() method has been added to the Hash Worker Object to allow you to verify the RSA signature from $initsignature
  • Functions: FileOps Workers
    Three new Worker Objects have been added to the FileOps external component to allow you to Copy, Move or Delete files asynchronously if required – in essence they work the same as their equivalent FileOps functions that can operate on a separate thread.

Please see the Whatsnew11.pdf accompanying the patch release for full details about the enhancements, and the Readme.txt file for details of bug fixes in rev 36251.

Upgrade Now and Unleash the Full Potential of Omnis Studio 11!

We’ve got some electrifying news to supercharge your development experience – introducing Omnis Studio Now!

What is Omnis Studio Now?

With Omnis Studio Now you can download the most recent revisions of Omnis Studio at any time rather than having to wait for general releases. So you can make use of new features and bug fixes earlier than being outside the program.

Picture this: Brand new features and enhancements will continuously become available for you – no waiting for general releases, no twiddling thumbs. With Omnis Studio Now, you’re the first to feast on the freshest revisions of Omnis Studio. It’s like getting VIP access to the code party! But that’s not all – our new service ensures you’re armed with the latest bug fixes, making your coding journey smoother than ever.

And here’s the cherry on top – zero extra cost! That’s right, Omnis Studio Now is our gift to you, bundled up with the Omnis Developer Program (ODPP) and Runtime Maintenance Service (RMA). We believe in giving you more bang for your buck without actually asking for more bucks!

How can you make use of Omnis Studio Now?

Now, let’s talk membership. To join the Studio Now service, you have to be in the club – Omnis Developer Partner Program (ODPP), that is – and you need to put your client licenses on Runtime Maintenance (RMA) if you haven’t done so already. It’s like having a backstage pass to the coolest coding environment!

What is Runtime Maintenance and how does it work?

The Omnis Studio Runtime Maintenance (RMA) is your key to an effortlessly streamlined, always-up-to-date environment for your Omnis applications. These are your RMA benefits in detail:

  • Update when it fits into your release cycle 
    Timing is everything. With RMA, you’re the maestro of your release orchestra. Update when it suits your rhythm, ensuring a smooth transition without missing a beat in your development process.
  • Stay always up-to-date and one step ahead of your competition
    In the fast-paced world of software development, staying ahead is not a luxury – it’s a must. RMA ensures you’re always up-to-date, giving you that competitive edge that makes all the difference.
  • Simply include the RMA costs in your maintenance charges to your clients 
    Billing shouldn’t be a headache. Seamlessly include the RMA costs in your maintenance charges to clients. It’s transparent, straightforward, and keeps everyone on the same page.
  • No need to explain Omnis technology and release information to your customers
    Why burden your customers with tech jargon? With RMA you don’t need to explain why they have to pay for an Omnis Studio client license upgrade while they just want to work with your application.
  • Migrate all customers at once as there are no extra costs
    Say goodbye to the headache and costs of managing multiple releases. RMA cuts costs and reduces your workload by consolidating support efforts. It’s efficient and cost-effective.
    As you don’t have to ask your clients for extra expenses, RMA lets you bring all your customers to the latest version simultaneously, without burning a hole in your pocket. It’s not just an update – it’s migration made easy.
  • Calculate and budget with a fixed RMA service amount each year 
    No surprises: with RMA, budgeting becomes a breeze. Calculate and plan with a fixed RMA service amount each year, giving you financial predictability and peace of mind.

And here is how RMA works: RMA is an exclusive benefit for our ODPP customers. If you put your deployment licenses on RMA (which is possible from Studio version 10.x onwards) you commit for a minimum term of three years, i.e. for our approx. major release cycle. After the initial period RMA will renew always for another 12 months period.

And in case you haven’t upgraded to our latest release Studio 11.0 by now, now is the perfect time to do so by purchasing RMA.

The RMA price is 20% of your individual license purchase price (i.e. inclusive of ODPP and, if applicable, volume discount) per year and RMA costs can be paid either annually or per quarter. Embrace it, and let the future begin!

Conclusion – don’t wait any longer

Omnis Studio Now is our way of saying thank you for being part of the family. If you have any questions or need help to calculate how you could best implement RMA, please contact your Omnis sales team: www.omnis.net/contact/

In a nutshell, Omnis Studio Now is not just a service; it’s a ticket to the fast lane of development. So why wait when you can code at the speed of NOW?

Upgrade your coding experience, unlock new possibilities, and stay ahead of the curve with Omnis Studio Now! Happy coding!

Attracting new developers with free Community Edition and the new CommunityPro Edition

In autumn last year we introduced the free Community Edition developer license which has been attracting a large number of developers to test and see how fast you can develop business apps with Omnis Studio. Now we are providing flexible licensing and pricing that allows developers to start free and scale as they grow:

  • We have introduced a new developer license called CommunityPro Edition. Like the free Community Edition it enables developers to build web and mobile apps with a PostgreSQL backend. It is the next step for developers who successfully created their first Omnis app(s) with the free Community Edition and deployed them to five users free of charge.
    With a CommunityPro Edition you can purchase as many client licenses as you want when your user base grows. This developer edition is available as a monthly subscription which includes updates and upgrades and basic support.
  • Another element of flexibility is the introduction of license subscription for the Professional Edition as an alternative option to the lifetime license. Just like with the Professional Edition lifetime license you can build desktop, web and mobile apps, make use the VCS and all DAMs to almost any database. You can chose between monthly payments and annual payments (with a discount of 20%) and there is no minimum term. Updates and upgrades and basic support (email only) are included.

Learn more about these plans and compare details at: omnis.net/store

Omnis Client License subscription

Equally important, we are now providing subscription models for client licenses – for runtimes, web and mobile licenses. It is our target to support all your different business models and deployment options. So for each of your existing or new projects and for each of your clients you can now choose between (monthly or annual) subscription or lifetime licenses. As explained above for the developer licenses, client license subscriptions include updates and upgrades (so no additional Runtime Maintenance Service purchase is required) and there is no minimum term.

These different licensing options both for developer and for client licenses allow developers and companies considerably more flexibility to decide the best option for each project and business case.

New Omnis Online Store

And we launched a new Omnis Online Store: omnis.net/store. Here, you can compare subscription plans, register for the free Community Edition, or purchase other Omnis Studio developer licenses. This is also the portal to access additional tech support and a comprehensive range of professional services including the Omnis Developer Partner Program (ODPP).

What does this mean for you as a long-term Omnis customer?

Because of the introduction of subscription models, we are also launching a new price list so everyone can choose between purchasing a perpetual license or monthly/annual subscriptions. These new subscription options can also be applied to existing developer and client licenses.

Nevertheless, your existing licensing models will be grandfathered. So there will be no need for changes to your purchase and retail prices.

However, if you want to experience the new licensing options and subscription prices, or wish to take advantage of some of these new options, you can of course switch to include them at any time. Please talk to us to determine the best-fit solution for your current requirements. We will be more than happy to provide you with a custom quote that matches your exact needs. Find your local sales team here: www.omnis.net/contact

We wish you lots of fun and success with Omnis Studio 11!

Omnis Studio is a great tool for building web & mobile apps for commercial distribution, as well as creating applications for many other uses & sectors, including not-for-profit and education – added to this, if you are new to application design, or following an IT or Programming course through school or college, then Omnis Studio provides a great environment in which to learn application building skills and coding. On the blog today, we’d like to bring you news of a great and timely project by Maurin Wannags, one of our Tech Support team in Germany and a college student in Hamburg, that shows how useful Omnis Studio can be in any educational setting – let Maurin explain the project and the highly functional app he and his fellow students created using Omnis Studio. 

My experiences using Omnis Studio

For the past year and a half, I have been an IT specialist application development trainee at Omnis Software Germany, while also taking IT lessons at a vocational college in Hamburg, the Berufliche Schule ITECH Elbinsel Wilhelmsburg. As part of a college project “Living with the virus”, we were asked to implement a solution to a problem related to the Covid pandemic.

Our student project team (Finn Stirnemann, Felix Malchau, Philipp Bangert and myself) found that during the pandemic the need for anti-bacterial or disinfectant “hand-gel”, and their dispensers (‘Desinfektionsmittel’ in German FYI), has increased dramatically, but that they can become empty all too quickly – those responsible for these dispensers may not even notice when the containers have become empty…

To solve this problem, our team created “AutoDessi”, an automated hand-gel dispenser that measures its hand-gel fill level automatically via a sensor and writes it to a database. Our solution also includes a web application that evaluates and graphically displays the data from the database.

The solution is designed to ensure that there is always enough hand-gel available by informing the staff responsible for the dispensers when the level in a dispenser falls below a certain minimum quantity. At the same time, this avoids unnecessary maintenance rounds, as staff only need to refill the dispensers that are actually almost empty!

Our experience in programming Omnis Studio

We only had three and a half weeks for the entire project. In addition to assembling and testing the hardware (hand-gel dispenser, sensors, Raspberry Pi board), programming the database (PostgreSQL) and the project documentation, there was only one week to develop the web application including the UI.

Therefore, we decided to develop the app in Omnis Studio using the current version 10.2. Since Omnis has fast prototyping features, and is very productive and powerful, we were able to program the required functionality and to create a comprehensive and graphically appealing interface within only a few days.

Project Success

The resulting integrated Omnis Web application created has several functions:

  • A minimum level can be defined for each hand-gel dispenser.
  • When the minimum level is reached in a dispenser, the maintenance team receive an email notification automatically.
  • The web app also provides usage statistics, programmed and visualized using the JavaScript components in Omnis Studio.

Even though we did not have a lot of time, our web app is quite powerful and innovative: it evaluates the data from the database and displays it graphically using JavaScript Remote forms and JS components. The notification function can be customized and an SMTP Worker Object in Omnis Studio takes care of sending the notifications by email.

We run all the courses in the Omnis Academy at regular intervals, including the “Omnis Studio Basics in Developing Web and Mobile Apps” course, and they are all free of charge – here are the dates for the “Basics” course in February for North America and Europe:

February 1 English 4:00pm EST (EN-USA) Omnis Studio Basics in Developing Web and Mobile Apps
15 February German 10:30 Uhr (DE)
English 3:00pm CET (EN-EU)
Omnis Studio Basics in der Entwicklung von Web- und Mobile Apps / Omnis Studio Basics in Developing Web and Mobile Apps

You can download Omnis Studio before you attend the “Basics” course (see below), and then work through the topics live in the online session, or you can sit back and watch the trainer – we will send you a recording of the session so you can complete the tasks at your own pace if you wish.

There are several other courses available in the Omnis Academy, running throughout February and March 2022, so please go to the Omnis website to check the dates and to signup. To register, please select your language / location (either English EN-EU or EN-USA, or German DE), then click on the course title, and select a date, from the following page: www.omnis.net/developers/online-training/

We are delighted to let you know that Omnis Software has released an important new White Paper: “Choosing the right App Development Software for Start-ups”. The choice of the right development tool probably won’t steal the credit for a project’s success, yet it could certainly prove to be a crucial reason for its failure.

The right software as a key factor for success

Therefore this objective white paper proceeds to walk pioneer entrepreneurs step-by-step through the logic of making a smart choice of app development software and certainly has what it takes to become a standard handbook for the start-up industry.

With an incredible number of development tools out there, there’s a real temptation to just pick the current go-to market favorite, stick with the package the team is most familiar with, or buy into something which worked great for a friend of a friend. But unless a developer or start-up can identify the best tool for their particular project, they could find themselves making a costly mistake – maybe ruining not only their project but also their professional reputation.

Key decision-making criteria

While locating the optimal development tool for any project is never easy, having a comprehensive checklist of key decision-making criteria will speed the task, help everyone to establish their own priorities, and ensure nothing significant gets overlooked. Key questions are addressed in the white paper:

  • Does it support rapid prototyping?
  • How much system flexibility will you require?
  • How important is speed?
  • Have you thought about scalability?
  • And does your project criteria imply (or demand) some level of system integration?
  • Should you go for an all-in-one package, or source a collection of state-of-the-art custom tools and components?

While some of these criteria may be obvious when starting a new project, other factors are often underrated as they affect later phases of the application life cycle:

  • How easy are maintenance and further development?
  • Does the software support technological changes?
  • What about the quality and accessibility of tech support and services?
  • How experienced and reliable is the vendor?

Test, check & verify

The Omnis white paper offers an in-depth solution for professionals gearing up to create reliable enterprise, web and mobile applications. But how much weight should be given to each of the listed factors is, of course, still down to an individual judgement based on the context of the envisaged project.

Any fledgling start-up faced with a profusion of development tool options must still meet that challenge logically with a clear open mind, a steady nerve, and perhaps even an element of luck. But having this new, impartial Omnis guide in your corner too is one sure way to streamline your decision making, reduce your stress levels, and swing the odds decisively in your favor.

The new Omnis white paper is an unbiased, authoritative guide which distils more than four decades of market-leading experience across all sectors in the creation of sophisticated business applications.

Please download the white paper from our website: www.omnis.net/white-paper
