Hey there, this is Darragh from Noloco with some of the latest updates to the Noloco platform. This will be the last update of 2024! It’s been a year of some amazing updates, and this is no different.
Let’s dive in!
Format emails with Markdown
Automated workflow emails in Noloco now support markdown formatting. When configuring your Email workflow actions, you can use markdown to:
- Add headings for better structure
- Create bullet lists for clarity
- Include links for easy navigation
- Apply text formatting like bold or italics
Control your Duration Fields
You now have greater flexibility when using duration fields in your Noloco app. While the default format remains hours, minutes and seconds, you can now customize it to suit your specific needs:
- Hours and minutes (hh:mm)
- Minutes and seconds (mm:ss)
This update allows you to better match the format to your workflows, whether you’re measuring the duration of work in hours, or timings of tests in minutes.
QR Codes
Turn any text or number field in your Noloco app into a scannable QR code. Simply change the display type of the field to ‘QR Code,’ and it will generate a scannable code.
Your new QR codes can also be easily downloaded for printing or attaching to equipment, inventory, or assets, making it easier to integrate with your workflows.
Device Type Visibility Rules
You can now manage the visibility of any page, tab, component, or action button in your Noloco app based on the device being used. Choose whether elements are visible on mobile or desktop to streamline mobile experiences by hiding unnecessary options on smaller screens or enhance desktop workflows with additional controls for larger displays.
