You can now override object properties using the input fields.
In our latest update, we have improved the Input Field component by enhancing object handling, the user interface, and the save logic.
Input Field Builder - Automatically overriding object properties
- With a new option, it is possible to create input fields in the input field builder where upon saving, the selected object's selected value is automatically overridden. Use case: in an auto repair shop, associate the selected vehicle with the selected object's value such as the machine hours for a rented equipment, or the meter reading for a selected real estate object
- Provides a more concise, smaller appearance, allowing more content to fit on a screen without scrolling
- If adding just one input field, there is no need to separately add the input field and click Save - clicking Save is enough. The system will save automatically and thus save a click
Three point update
Our latest update improved five key aspects of our system. User import, cost and invoice list management, file uploader component, wiki, and the Settings menu were all enhanced.
User Import
- If there is an email address during import, the system tries to avoid duplications based on email
- If there is no email address during import, the system tries to avoid duplications based on last name and first name
Costs and Invoice List
- Improved display in the costs / invoice list
File Uploader Component
- You can rename the component section title, so you can provide instructions on what the user should upload in this file upload field
Wiki
- Fixed a bug where after reading a wiki post, the Back button did not go back to the Wiki but to the homepage of all entries
Settings / User List
- In settings, user lists now display user groups as well
Enhanced import feature in Applications
If you create an application, you may want to import data from your previous software. This feature now has received 7 new functionalities, making it possible to even work in parallel for short periods with Fryda and your previous software.
Enhanced Importing in Applications
- Improved appearance and a clearer interface with fewer potential errors when importing
- Input fields for objects can now be specified if the application includes an object selector component. The system automatically creates object elements if they don't exist yet, and does not duplicate them if they are already present
- The selected user (e.g., selected driver or operator) can now also be specified during importing
- Selected products can be imported during data import, and the system does not duplicate application elements even if the products are listed separately
- Linked application elements can be associated based on unique identifiers, and the system will create the application element in the linked application if the specified identifier does not exist during import. This means that importing works for linked application elements as well
- Import can be executed multiple times without duplicating application elements, so concurrent work with the Fryda system and previous corporate systems will not result in error-prone duplications during data import
- The manufacturing date can be overridden during import by selecting the manufacturing date when matching during the import process
Job object matcher
Our object pairing interface has received three new features, making the object pairing interface even more user-friendly, and the cost side has also been given a new look in this update.
Object Pairing
- New multiselect (selecting multiple items simultaneously) type of selection option
- When selecting a colleague in the table, the system shows who has been selected next, thus preventing the same colleague from being selected twice
- Handling predefined exceptions that provide unique background and description for the respective column in the table
Costs Page
- Adjusted the appearance of small-scale transformed cost main page, mainly optimized for use in dark mode
Improvements in today's update
In today's update, we have improved in 4 areas: new variables, better user management, a customer rating feature, and an even smarter automated invoice creation option.

Moreover, new automations have been added to the Quote Builder, enabling the sending of even better quotes to clients!
Product Selector Element
- Provides a more beautiful and clear appearance between the settings of the building element
- After adding a new product, it is possible to copy the data into input fields: With this option, the data of the currently added product (such as price or name) can be copied into input fields. Specify which data is copied into which input field by the system. This is useful, for example, when using several products in a quote, but there are unique cases where you want to use unique pricing or naming. The data pasted into the input fields can be edited later.
Quote Builder Element
- Option to send an offer without fixed products, it is advisable to set this when the price of the quote is included in the attached PDF text.
- In the case of the quote builder element, the system automatically converts the appearance and HTML content of the email templates to be email compatible, if they are not
API enhancement, downloadable QR code, and new customer data.

- Unlimited number of templates can be created.
- If no quotation template is set, the system sends out a default email.
The update that made our system even more universal.
Now you can create a calculated input field. Its value can depend on other input fields and you can use various mathematical expressions to determine its value. This allows for even more versatile use of our software.
Input Fields
- It is possible to create mathematical expressions for input fields. For example, if you want a third field to be filled based on two other fields. For instance, multiplying or adding together. It can be used for various things like daily running distance based on the starting and finishing kilometers, but also for reporting meter readings, daily progress, etc.
- It is worth using it together with the last field that is just readable, so you can create a calculated additional field.
