DAP-5407 - Grouping/Categorization of apps

Existing System: Currently, there is no support for the categorization of apps on home page. 

Purpose: To improve the usability.

• Add categories and assign it to the apps.
• Assigning a category to an app can be done from either "Edit Layout" screen or by from "Form Properties" tab. 
• One app can be part of multiple categories. 
• User would be able to see the apps by their categories on the home page. 
• User can filter and sort the categories so that the apps appear as per his preference. 
• "Recent" category is a system-defined category that always shows the apps based on the recent activity of the user. 
• If an app is not categorized, then it would appear under "Uncategorized" system-defined category until the app is assigned a category. 

Impacts on existing forms: No

Purpose: Provide app usage information statistics to users without having to navigate to list screens.

• Administrators of the system would be able to turn on the toggle "Show data counts" option from the "Edit Layout".
• Once the toggle is on, users will be able to see the data count against each app in the home page. 
• This count is the total number of records user can access for a given app.
• There is no date range filter applied (It shows the data count since the app is published)

Impacts on existing forms: No impact.

DAP-4970 - Introduce data type selection and enhance data source filters based on the data type of the field

Existing System: Currently, every field in the data source is of data type "String"

Purpose: To provide more flexibility for filters and to ensure auto-populations are flawless 

Enhanced System: Changes include:  

• Option to select a data type for a column - this will be available only before saving the data source.
• No option to change the data type once the data source, with the newly added column, is saved.
• Supported data types - String, Date, Integer, Decimal, and Boolean. 
• Once a particular data type is selected, values entered will be validated against that data type.  For example: Data Type = Date, only Date values can be entered for that column. 
• Based on this data type, now the user would be able to auto-populate values to date fields, toggles, and numeric controls. 
• Also, the user can filter data sources effectively as we can see more options based on the data type. 

Impacts on existing forms: No impact 

Available in Mobile: Yes, supported in iOS and Android

 DAP-4598 - Ability to redirect to Mobile Pro app when a user opens the notification live link on a mobile device

Purpose: To improve usability and take the user to the respective record 

Enhanced System: The user would be able to: 

• Navigate to the respective record when clicking on the notification link. 
• In online mode, the app would download the record and then redirect the user to the record summary. 
• In offline mode, if the record is already available on the device, then the user would be redirected. Otherwise, the app would show a "No records found" error.  

Impacts to Existing Forms: NA

Available in Mobile: Yes on both iOS and Android
