APEX 20.1 First look

APEX 20.1 New Features

Page Designer Updates

• User Profile

• Browse by Facets : This is gonna great interface for developers to manage all the application components. Available filters in facets  "Search Application Pages" are below

•  Page Type
•  Template
•  Build Option
•  Authorization
•  Created By
•  Last Updated By
•  Locked
•  Page Group
•  Has Alias
•  Mode
•  Is Public
•  Month Created

• No more Component View by default

To add the component  view we have to add it from page setings

• Designer Error Message Prompt

There is no more message tab as in above screenshot of APEX 19.2. When i try to create a report region, it must ask for region source with error message. It prompts Error message next to shared component button, which is really cool to click and see the issue with the working area. It's nice not to show any message tab if there is no error.

• New Toggle Switches
