App Platform

Introduction

The App Platform is one application center for all your mobile devices. It offers multiple functionalities for your transportation company, your customers and clients. It can serve as a scanp app for your warehouse employees, a POD app for your drivers, booking system for your clients or for timeslot booking. Because of the many functionalities, the platform is much more than a mobile application.

New major version v4

There is a new major version available for the AppPlatform: v4. This version is faster and more lightweight than the previous versions. Please note there are a few changes to the previous version v3.

Note

see AppPlatform v4 for a complete overview of all the changes.

Infrastructure

The App Platform is hosted in the Microsoft Azure Cloud to boost performance and security. It is also multi-region, so the App Platform is available everywhere. Below a list of the locations where App Platform is hosted:

• West Europe
• North Europe
• East US
• Australia East

How does it work?

To support multi region, every version of the App Platform has it's own unique url. The version is a version number in the format <major>.<minor>.<revision>. The corresponding url of that version would be https://app<version>.boltrics.com, where the dots are replaced with dashes. For example, the url of version 1.2.3 will be https://app1-2-3.boltrics.com.

Every time we release new versions, a new url will be available. And because of that, old versions will be deprecated if there are no customers using that version anymore.

Note

Don't create shortcuts or setup the scanners to a url with a specific version. Those urls will eventually be deprecated.

Which urls should be used?

The following urls should be used to access App Platform. These urls will always be available, and will automatically redirect you to a specific version:

• https://cXXX-app-prod.boltrics.com (in which XXX is your Customer No.) This is your customer specific url. This url will redirect to a specific stable version. When we update Business Central, we may update this url to let it redirect to a newer version.

• https://app-latest.boltrics.com This url will always redirect to the latest version. So if there is a new feature, and you want to test it for yourself? Easy: just update the appx-x-x.boltrics.com in your url to app-latest.boltrics.com, and you can test all you want.

• https://app<major>-latest.boltrics.com This url will always redirect to the latest version of that specific major.
