Refresh view / Force navigate on app update

General Q&A

Hi

I would like to either :

  1. Log the user out (which would force a view refresh); or preferably
  2. Refresh the view the user is on (effectively reload the view when updating the app).

This would on a number of views where display attributes are linked to variables where the value is set in the init() function.

Kind regards

When deploying changes to non-Testing backend instances i.e. Staging or Production instances the app will automatically close and reopen once the user selects the Update Now button. Because of this, there is no need to implement custom refresh logic for updates.
If users are in the process of capturing data, they can ignore the update notification and update once completed.

For Testing backend instances, updates are applied automatically, without restarting the app, for quick development testing.
