What’s new in Appspace 5.7

Improved Signs application creation workflow

The Signs app creation workflow has been improved, allowing users to create an app by immediately entering a name, and selecting the application type in a single step.

Please refer to the Creating Applications section in the Managing Applications article in Signs.

An updated UI for Signs

The dashboard in Signs has a new look with an updated user interface that includes an additional ‘Type’ column, and a ‘View’ drop-down menu with options such as All, Signage, or Data Only, to sort application types.

Longer names for Signs applications

Signs app names can now fit up to 255 characters, allowing users to define much longer names.
