i18n Internationalization
Figure 7: Advanced Tools - i18n Internationalization Labels defined in the builder will be automatically listed down here for internationalization purpose. We can define in as many languages as we want to. |
Diff Checker
Figure 8: Advanced Tools - Diff Checker
The Diff Checker capability makes collaborative works possible without losing the modifications done by other teammates who are working on the same entity at the same time. In this section, one can tell which are the changes have been made since the initial first load of his/her builder against the copy in the server. Click on Merge & Update button will ensure that all modifications are merged.
| Warning |
|---|
Upon pulling the latest changes from the server, clicking on Merge & Update will merge the changes, but will NOT automatically save the form, to allow users to continue editing. Take note that the Diff Checker does NOT pull changes from the server in real-time. To see new changes, click into the Diff Checker tab again. |
JSON Definition
Figure 9: Advanced Tools - JSON Definition
