As we wrap up the fourth quarter of the year, it’s a great time to take stock of what we’ve accomplished with the Cost Calculator and look ahead to what’s coming next. In this post, we’ll highlight the progress we’ve made so far and give you a glimpse of the exciting updates and features we’re planning for the new Q1.
Here’s a list of what we’ve done in Q3-Q4:
- Order form manager. We’ve added a form manager and enhanced a basic order form with custom fields like dropdowns and radio buttons. This helps you collect detailed customer information and create personalized order forms.
- Customization for PDF entries. Before, you could only edit text and colors in PDF documents, but now you can fully design customized PDF invoices and quotes. Choose from new stylish templates and edit, or build your own from scratch by moving elements, adding blocks like QR codes and signatures, and tailoring every detail.
- AI formula generator. We’ve introduced this feature to make complex pricing simple. You can create any type of formulas for your calculator automatically without coding. It saves you time, reduces errors in estimations, and ensures accurate results.
- Updates in basic slider and multi-range fields. These elements allow you to change and control the slider scale, and select the desired slider size to match your design. For easier navigation, you can customize Jump Between Scale Points. You can show either the range value or the total value above the slider which makes your forms more user-friendly.
- Multilingual support. Our plugin supports new languages now as we’ve added translations in Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, and Italian. We want to make the tool accessible to more users around the world.
- Improvements related to accuracy and usability. These include phone field validation, sticky settings for better navigation, and product stock linking for WooCommerce. Moreover, scrolling and template management are now smoother so you can use and control the tool more easily.
- New elements in the Order form. In Q3 we’ve also introduced new Date Picker and Time Picker fields to the order form. Users are able to select accurate dates and times, reducing mistakes like incorrect scheduling.
