Version 1.5 of the Smartabase Kiosk app includes some performance improvements, along with resolutions for a few issues people were experiencing with previous versions of the app.

Improvements to slider fields

We’ve made some improvements to how slider fields display and respond within the Kiosk app. First, sliders displaying longer options will wrap to a new line, like in the example below.

Second, you can now click directly on the slider bar to choose a particular value. Previously you could only change the slider’s value by clicking and dragging its toggle. These new features will speed up and improve the experience for people using the app to fill out questions like wellness metrics, intensity ratings and other similar questions

Support for role-restricted editing

In this release, you’ll find support for restriction policies. We introduced this feature to Smartabase version 6.7 so that administrators could designate which parts of event forms and profile forms people can edit. Any fields or sections that have restriction policies applied to them are now compatible with event forms on the Kiosk app.

Calculations now run after entering data

In previous versions of the Kiosk app, calculations were processed immediately, including while data was being entered into fields. Since this can reduce performance, we’ve made a change so calculations are processed after you’ve finished interacting with fields. This will boost performance and give you a faster data entry experience.
