This Video will help the developer/ partner community to extract the required information from Web Database and push the required data into the Web Application/ Service using XML Request/ Response Approach.

Release 5.0 Enhancements This video highlights the Language enhancements in Release 5.0 of Tally.Developer 9

TallyPrime Developer

Release 5.0
  • Progress Bar Capability- The progress bar is a feature enhancement in TallyPrime Release 5.0 which caters to an enhanced progress bar, different operations in the product have progress bars with this enhancement it shows different kinds of information on what is the activity and progress made with respect to that activity. The video below will show how to use Progress Bar definition and its attributes in TDL

  • Stripe View Capability- The Stripe View is a new UI in TallyPrime Release 5.0 which allows users to clearly relate to the data available in columns that are far apart without needing to take the cursor to that line to read it. To bring this UI, we are adding an attribute within Report, Form, Part and Line Definitions. The video below will show how to use Stripes attribute in TDL

Release 6.0
  • MultiObjects Attribute Enhancement- This attribute MultiObjects is required to be specified in case multiple objects of the same collection are being added/modified in a Report. It is required specifically in case of multi master creation or alteration.

    Currently, if multiple external data objects are selected for creating vouchers, the system processes them one by one. If it encounters an error while processing any object, it stops and shows the report with an error message. Objects created before the error remain, while the remaining ones are not processed.

    The new requirement is to allow skipping objects with errors and continue processing the others without showing an error message. The video below will show how developers can use this attribute enhancement in TDL

  • Disable Period on Tile- Disable Period on Tile is a new capability in TallyPrime Release 6.0 which allows customers whether to display/not display period on particular tile in dashboard. To bring this UI, we are adding an attribute within the Report definition. The video below will show how developers can use this in TDL

 

  • Skip Forward at Part Level- This attribute skips the part while navigating forward using right/bottom arrow key. The focus comes back to the part when the left/up arrow key is pressed from the next part. We have introduced a skip-forward capability at the Part level in display mode. Similar to the skip-forward function at the Field level, this feature allows the specified Part to be bypassed during forward navigation while ensuring it is accessible when navigating backward. The video below will show how developers can use this in TDL
