Differences Between the Old and New Versions of the "Embedded Database Form"

For a better user experience across devices, Ragic has released a new version of the web embed tool for Database Form. Due to significant layout changes, a "Switch to old version" option is available. Previously created embedded forms using the old version remain unaffected.

The Main Difference

The main difference between the new and old versions is the layout of columns. In the old version of the Database Form, you could place more than one column in the same row, similar to how it works in a Ragic sheet. However, the layout of the new version resembles Ragic's mobile app Form Page, which only allows a single column per row.

Other adjustments in the new version include adding new theme colors and banner images, increasing the default font size, and changing the aspect ratio of the banner (the new ratio is 1500 x 300).

How to Switch to Old Version

After picking "Database Form" as your web embed type, you can preview and configure the layout of your new version form. After finishing all the settings, Ragic will give you an HTML code snippet, a URL for this form, and a WordPress shortcode.

If you still need to use the old version, you'll need to click on the "Switch to old version" button on the top. This will take you to the old version configuration page and give you the URL and codes for the old version.

If you previously created an old version of "Database Form" and now want to switch to the new version, simply click on "Tools" > "Embed this sheet" in the sheet, and go through the process on the new version's settings page to obtain the new form URL.

The URL/codes Ragic provides in the new version will contain different parameters from those in the old version, even if they are embedded from the same sheet.

For example, if the URL of an old version embedded database form is: "https://www.ragic.com/databaseaccount/tab/form?webview&webaction=form", the new version web form will be: "https://www.ragic.com/databaseaccount/tab/form?webview&webaction=form&ver=new". The difference between the URLs is that the new version includes an additional "&ver=new" at the end.

Note: Although Ragic offers the option to "Switch to the old version," we will no longer maintain the old version of the embedded Database Form. We strongly recommend updating to the new version.
