Hi, all! Donald Hruska here, an engineering lead at Retool. Join us today at 9:00am – 10:00am PST for Retool’s latest Build Along - a hands-on session exploring Retool Mobile and its value in building all types of applications (link to register here!). We’ll be building two apps: we’ll take you into the (literal) field to build an app that records soil sample data, and another that demonstrates a variety of useful features for warehousing and inventory management.

Some of the Retool Mobile features we’re going to cover include:

  • Using Retool Database and Google Sheets as back-ends in Retool
  • Displaying maps and map markers
  • Opening links into other apps (deep linking)
  • Forms and auto form generation
  • Using the device camera and uploading files to Retool Storage
  • Scanning barcodes with the Scanner component, including embedded scanner mode
  • Running Retool Mobile apps on Zebra scanner devices
  • Building apps that work in areas with no or low signal coverage using Offline Mode
  • Building responsive mobile apps with Tablet Mode

I hope you can join us: register here!

Donald
