The MobiForms HTML5 client now supports the manual refresh of Table syncs from the MSS to the device instigated from the device, rather than being instigated from the MSS. A new MobiScript command called manual_sync has been creatred that can be placed in a button trigger to fire this. The MSS has been updated to handle the new command. The new form property of Manual Sync available in MobiForms Developer version 8.0 onwards must also be set to True. In this mode the Sync Status window is disabled.
The latest release of the MobiForms Developer mobile development tool version 8.0 now supports the creation of Native or HTML5 offline apps with chart report objects including Bar Charts, Line Charts, Pie Charts and Dials.

Supported back office databases include Oracle, SQL Server, Access, Sybase, IBM DB2, SQLite, HSQLDB, Firebird and MySQL.
The reporting features include:
Build professional dashboards and reports with a mixture of objects on one screen including bar charts, line charts, pie charts and dials.
Comma separated strings or dynamic SQL queries for labels and data.
Variable X axis text angle.
Variable X axis position - bottom, centre or top depending on whether values are all positive, mixed or negative.

The latest version of the revolutionary mobile development tool MobiForms 6.0 now offers support for Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
Up until now developing for Apple iOS devices required in depth professional programming skills with mandatory learning of Apple's obscure version of C called Objective-C and the Apple iOS/iPhone SDK (Software Development Kit). MobiForms replaces these tools with one simple, intuitive, drag and drop interface. No Objective-C programming is required.
The major advantage of MobiForms is that unlike the Apple iOS/iPhone SDK you do not need to own an Apple Mac to run it. The MobiForms Developer will run on both a Windows PC or an Apple Mac. With MobiForms you avoid paying the expensive yearly membership of the iPhone Developer Program. The MobiForms adhoc deployment approach also avoids the Apple App Store and the Apple app approval process which alone can take weeks.
MobiForms now makes it possible for novice or experienced programmers alike to quickly create mobile business applications for Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Additionally, the same app can be run on other platforms like Windows Mobile and Android smartphones and tablets.
MobiForms supports the native Apple iOS camera, GPS integration and SQLite database connectivity for off-line mobile database storage.
MobiForms offers all the tools in one "box" for the creation and deployment of any type of mobile application - from surveys to field service, from signature capture to bar coding.
One MobiForms application supports multiple device types including Tablet PC, Pocket PC, Windows CE, Windows Mobile, Symbian, Google Android and now Apple iOS devices.
MobiForms with Apple iOS support can be downloaded from the MobiForms web site at: http://www.mobiforms.com.
