Hi Folks!
You’ll notice a couple updates to the Community Categories that I wanted to comment on:
I am excited to bring back the Jobs Category - This is for those looking to hire folks with Tulip experience or for those looking to find a job within the Tulip ecosystem!
We have re-named the “Custom Widgets” category to the Developer Category . This category is now a place for Tulip Developers to ask more advanced questions about APIs, custom widgets, hardware and software integrations, and …
Knowledge Base
Update on this: we’ve reorganized the article navigation on the left side of the Knowledge Base. We’ve simplified folders to focus on the actions (adding Build, Run Apps, etc.) rather than have generic categories (removing Product Docs).
Additionally, the KB homepage now has quick links to these folders. You should be able to find and access content much easier now!

What would be the best practice use of Completion Records & Batch Tables to ensure that each action has the current user assigned and a new user can load the app and pick up where the other left off?
They are mainly using tablets to enter the EBR …
I used ChatGPT to help me create a more dynamic version of the ZPL Viewer widget so I could specify DPI and label size in the app.
The only problem is it doesn’t look like there’s a way to dynamically size the widget unless there’s a variable I can set in JS?
// Get values from the user input
let labelResolution = getValue("Label Resolution"); // Could be in DPI or dpmm
let labelWidth = getValue("Label Width"); // In inches
let labelHeight = getValue("Label Height"); // In inches
// Simple ch…
Hi everyone, I thought I would share this in case anyone needed the ability to lookup a machine id using a connector function and the name of the machine as input.
