- Using the search by a specific field in a bloc it now autocompletes values, once clicked they trigger the filter/search immediately.
- Ability to edit Results Box Data and even apply rules, actions and other settings to the data you’re editing.
- Ability to trigger rules, actions and other settings when applying a Cross Bloc Manipulator field trigger. For example, when creating a record you could have it autogenerating a number and even sending a mail alert.
- Some Text Changes to remove the concept of Blocworx only for handling scanning, words like “Scan” changed to “Entry”.
- Issue resolved where using Delete All Data was not deleting files in those records on the server.
- Issue fixed where the red alert when a rule is broken was not disappearing in some cases.
- The ability has been added to move a bloc to another module
- A new field parameter where special characters can automatically be stripped from a string.
- The icon and pop up for the Results Box has now been removed. This was unused and unnecessary feature.
- UUIDs will now be used for all new urls for pages, blocs, modules and field IDs (field IDs are internally set on our side). So for example for any new bloc created the url will look something like this… https://domain.blocworx.com/module/sample-module/bloc/98fc1efe-6f05-49ba-8c39-b7616895dcb8 instead of https://domain.blocworx.com/module/sample-module/bloc/1234. This is a significant structural improvement that will make it very easy to move and copy modules in our next release. It also makes rules, fields and other IDs more secure and stable in the software.
- There is now the ability to download files in a bloc. This feature downloads a zip file of all files based on the data that was filtered (or not filtered).
- Legacy Features are now going to be hidden and can be turned back on again in App Settings
- Bug fix of issue where a large number of fields being added in the same element had problems with ordering.
- New ability to archive data automatically, as opposed to deleting, archiving disables from the live data thus giving better performance and cleaner data, but also provides the comfort of being able to revert easily.
- Bug fixed where the calendar was not loading the data for the date that was selected (if the date was a Primary Calendar field)
- Allow the ability to decide if checkbox data can be listed either by comma seperated (current default setting) or one line after the next.
Coming Soon in Version 3.6
- Ability to edit Results Box Data and even apply rules, actions and other settings to the data you’re editing
- Ability to trigger rules, actions and other settings when applying a Cross Bloc Manipulator field trigger. For example, when creating a record you could have it autogenerating a number and even sending a mail alert.
- Ability to export modules and files and import them into another system.
- Our Mail Alert section has been cleaned up with all the redundant options now removed when adding or editing mail alerts.
- For all new fields created from this version onwards, if a field is being used by any rule or field parameter it is not possible to delete it without first editing or changing the parameter or rule first. This adds more stability to your no-code builds and creates more predictable behaviour.
- Fixed a Maths field bug where an infinite loop was being caused by a red alert rule warning.
- Removed the pop up warning when editing blocs that already have data. This has proved unpopular and had been ignored by builders.
- Upgraded our main Framework and code language version.
- Resolved issue where an Auto Generate Reference field (the field that can be used to count against) was triggering a new autogeneration while editing a record
- Changed wording/typo in a field name
- Cleaned up the list of roles when there are multiples of 2 in the Manage Roles section
- New Maths field updates to allow min(), max(), round() and avg() and more to come soon
- Fixed bug where on new versions, any new text on the front end requires a log out and log back in for it to appear
- Fixed small issue issue where the same setting could be seen twice in the Edit Theme section
- Fixed a bug where when a rule breaks on the maths field it causes an infinite loop of the rule breaking over and over.
- Added new option to the Cross Bloc Data Manipulator field where you can unset the Condition section to “No Conditions Required”, thus reducing confusion and improving UX.
- It’s now possible to add multiple search filters/criteria for our Results Box field. Where previously the look up could only match one field, now you can search multiple fields in the other bloc that must match multiple fields in the bloc the Results Box is being created in.
- There is a new feature where you can disable a user, i.e. make them inactive, this will prevent them from being able to login. This is useful for staff leaving etc but where there is data associated with them.
- Fixed a small bug where when editing a page, the icon pop up was being visually blocked.
- A major new and useful update to our Mail Alert field, where you can now attach the .docx templates you may have built in that bloc.
- There is a new feature where blocs cannot be deleted if they are associated with field parameters or rules.
- A new feature where you can see all the schedules running in your system in the Manage Data section.
- A new field parameter that allows you to load data from other blocs based on a search criteria. The purpose of this is to allow master lists to always be loaded directly from those lists, as opposed to the data being copied in. This is similar to a JOIN statement in SQL and will allow users to build even cleaner sytems with just one source of truth for their data.
- Fixed a bug where the File field file name was still visible in the field after submitting. It now clears correctly.
- Major New Update: The Autogenerate field can now be a fully dynamic string with multiple dates in the string and any format of your choosing, not just pre-selected formats. It also now has the ability to include data from other fields, just like our Merge Field.
- Improvements to our Results Box field to handle various field types like images, file downloads and barcodes.

- New Feature: User can now control the actions that occur for any field. The feature is called Manage Field Actions. This feature allows the user to tidy up and control the flow of what happens for each field.
- New Feature: Ability to put in a custom url with generic parameter style, meaning urls that leave Blocworx can be dynamically generated.
- Introduction of the Flow Chart: The ability to view your bloc at a glance using a Flow Chart.
- Major New Feature: The Bloc Scheduler, this feature allows users to automatically run their blocs and all rules, conditions, actions, mail alerts, cross bloc actions can occur automatically on a schedule. There is an option to either loop through existing records, or even create new ones.
- Excel Uploader Automatic Processing: Using the work complete with the Bloc Scheduler we then added the ability to automatically process a bloc using the Excel Uploader, meaning values can be set, rules can be called and even mail alerts sent when data is getting uploaded.
