What’s New in vDesigner 2.0?
API at L1
Moving ahead with our aim of improving reusability in Designer 2.0, we are introducing APIs at the L1 option where users can configure an API and reuse it across different task groups. Previously, users had to configure the request/response in the Configure Service Task, which could not be duplicated. Additionally, we have renamed the “Invoke SDK” Task to “Invoke API Task”.
Key Features:
- Introduction of Scope Type in API
- Reusability of API
Please note that developers will need to define the request and response in a manner that makes the API reusable, i.e., keeping the parameters dynamic rather than static.
Array Functions Phase 2
We’re introducing a fresh set of functions designed to empower users in manipulating arrays. Presently, users are limited to implementing Search, Filter, and Sort functions in List.
Key Features :
- “Splice” function can change the contents of an array by removing or replacing existing elements and/or adding new elements in place. The format of the function would be:
Splice (*ListName, *StartIndex, *DeleteCount, Item1, Item2…)
The function would be available in Smart Selector.
- Array Manipulation Function would allow the user to add or delete a key in Json at runtime and also configure what value should be calculated under the key.
List Enhancement for Quick Filter Operation
We have received feedback from many developers that configuring filter and sort operations in Designer 2.0 is a cumbersome process. Hence, we have introduced a quicker route to complete these operations by simply configuring the rule in the property panel. This will save developers’ effort by eliminating the need to copy the list into a different list and reducing the number of steps involved.
Key Features:
- Configuration of BR Rule in List Property Panel
- Direct Configuration of Key for Sorting in List Property Panel
Customized Accordion
In vDesigner2.0, We have made enhancements in the Accordion component. This update brings improved functionality and versatility, catering to multiple use cases to better serve user’s design needs.
Key Features:
- New properties added to the accordion header allow users to enrich the alignment between the accordion title and the accordion icon.
- Border and box shadow properties are now available for the accordion component, accordion header, and accordion card, offering greater customization and visual enhancement.
- Users can choose the accordion icon from the material icon library.
- The icon will revolve 180 degrees to indicate the expandable and collapsible state

Fetch Media Task
In vDesigner2.0, we have introduced a new task, “Fetch Media”. This feature enhances the capabilities of our platform by enabling users to generate signed URLs for images uploaded to the DMS (Document Management System).
Key Features:
- The “Fetch Media” task allows users to generate a signed URL for an image uploaded to the server, ensuring secure and temporary access.
- Users can save the signed URL response directly into any path, facilitating seamless integration and real-time display of images.
- This task enables users to fetch the URL of uploaded media files, allowing for easy access, display, or download functionalities within the application.
