Estel Tech


Disconnected Image Capture


A common requirement in many mobile business apps is the ability to capture images using the camera on the device and upload them to a remote database. But what happens when the app is disconnected (i.e. does not have an internet connection)? With Estel Tech Anywhere 3.1, we've added the ability to capture images using the device camera while disconnected, building on the robust offline feature set introduced with version 3.0!

Custom Data Sources in Reports


Previously, when you created a report in Estel Tech Anywhere you could choose to base the report on a SQL data source, or a native .dbf table. Now, you can specify that the report is based on a custom data source.


Estel Tech

By combining Estel Tech Anywhere, a unique mobile and web app development environment featuring offline capability, with Worldpay’s payment processing expertise, enterprises can now easily add premium payment processing services to mobile and web applications.

Apperian EASE Integration


While we introduced our partnership with the Apperian enterprise mobile app management platform and app store in version 3.0, the seamless inegration is now fully documented in the release notes.


Estel Tech


Built-in Video Player Control


Previously, to add video to a UX component, you had to first create a stand-alone Video Player component and then embed that into your UX. Now, the UX component includes a built-in video player control. The Video Player Control supports YouTube, Vimeo, Viddler and HTML5 video players.


Estel Tech


Alternative Login Using Microsoft Live Connect


With Estel Tech Anywhere 3.0, we introduced social login through Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Now, the Estel Tech Anywhere alternative login feature supports user authentication using Microsoft Live Connect.


Estel Tech


New Quick Start Mobile App Templates


Development of Estel Tech Anywhere is driven by a simple philosophy: Help developers be as productive as possible. With version 3.1 we've added two new quick start mobile templates that you can deploy with a single click.


Estel Tech


Command Line App Publishing


Typically when you publish your web application you do it using the user interface in Estel Tech Anywhere. However, there may be cases where you would like to automate the process. A new function, a5w_publish2() has been added to make command line publishing easier.


Estel Tech


Mark 'Dirty' Fields Before Synchronization


When you have a List with an associated Detail View and you edit the data in one of the List's rows, a customizable icon is shown to indicate that the row has been edited, but not synchronized to the database. You can now indicate the dirtyfields in a List row that has been edited by specifying a custom CSS class.


Estel Tech


Much More!


This is only a sampling over the over 20 new features and updates added with version 3.1. To see the full list, along with documentation and tutorial videos, check out the release notes.
