You've Got to See Expandable v9.0
Version 9.0 is a major release that includes monumental changes that will help you streamline your workflow to improve productivity and ease of use. Expandability 2010 is your opportunity to get a long first look at the upcoming release of Expandable v9.0 so you can prepare for all the major enhancements it brings.
A major change you’ll notice right away is the new way Expandable handles GUI Windows theme inheritance. With v9.0, Expandable will take on the look of the Windows themes you have set up on your workstation.
For instance, here is a sample of how Expandable v.9.0 will look using the standard Windows 7 theme versus the v8.4.1 display results.

Possibly the most exciting new feature in Expandable v9.0 is the Form Flow Designer that allows individual users to modify editor screens to customize the location, order and captions of data elements. You’ll be able to customize your editor screens to put the elements you access most often all together in one location.
In addition to the ability to consolidate items by moving them between the Expandable tabs, you’ll be able to change the fonts and colors of the labels that identify the different field elements. Here’s an example of how the SOEOE screen with the standard layout can be modified in a variety of ways to make the screen more useful to your own particular function.
Notice that fields were moved to new locations, removed from the tab, added,
fonts and colors were changed on the labels and field sizes were modified.
