Continuing the discussion from Folders For Organising Projects:
I know this has been raised countless times.
It looks like it entered the Pipeline for Anvil in 2019, but hasn’t yet been realised.
We are looking at building our developer count for Anvil applications, but will encounter issues with separation of applications.
With a building list of applications, this is becoming very important.
Can Anvil please provide a time estimate when this feature will be available?
Kind Regards,
Grant
If you are talking about the subject of the link you mention, folders to organize forms in large apps, then they didn’t exist in 2018, but they do exist today.
If you are talking about organizing apps in folders, I wouldn’t count on them showing up any time soon. It’s unlikely for Anvil to say that they are adding a feature, more unlikely to give an ETA.
I have an easy workaround: in Chrome I have a bookmark for every app of mine. I find it more convenient than any page full of links organized in folders. I have the links organized my way and don’t even need to open that page.
Thanks Stefano.
It is indeed relating to organising apps.
It’s easy enough to create a separate method of organising the links to the applications.
However, the issue I am encountering is relating to permissions between developers and access to specific applications.
I understand there is a method of adding collaborators to an application.
Would the best method to govern this be to but invite them to be collaborators for the specific applications they are permissioned to develop?
This would be cumbersome for groups of applications, coming back to the original point of scalability as the applications list (and developers list) begins to grow.
Picture for example of problem at scale.
Kind regards,
Grant
On a separate note, if there was a method to list, add and remove collaborators programatically - this solution could easily be resolved with an Anvil application for managing access to application groups without a change to the existing Anvil UI.
This solution would go farther than it seems.
Ok, now we are talking!
This is not just organizing in folders, it’s also about permission management, and it definitely deserve a feature request.
I manage 100+ apps, and I find Anvil’s home page limited, which is why I rely on bookmarks as I mentioned earlier. My team occasionally includes other developers, but I usually work solo, so I’m not familiar with features about managing teams. I’ll leave that part to other forumers who have more experience.
We have multiple clients each with their own anvil account and on different plans with multiple apps within those. That means we also have multiple accounts - one for each client.
We use github to manage those - including permsissions. We automate the release of changes to production apps using github actions and none of us touches those unless absolutely necessary.
We often each have development copies of an app but we don’t share those except via a url for testing.
Thanks Owen.
That seems to be the most viable existing solution (managing changes through Git.) and maintaining multiple Anvil licenses.
Don’t get me started…
