Blue Storm Expands AppControl with Smarter Dashboards and Flexible Releases

This release focuses on making AppControl more accessible and responsive to the way teams work—providing quicker access to critical insights, enabling more flexible deployment roles, and supporting richer communication around feedback and support. The result is a smoother, more connected experience for everyone involved in managing Mendix applications.

“We’re making it easier for teams to stay in sync and take action faster,” said Andrew Whalen, Founder of Blue Storm. “These updates help reduce bottlenecks, clarify responsibilities, and keep everyone focused on what matters most—delivering high-quality apps.”

This release continues to build on AppControl’s commitment to supporting the full Mendix app lifecycle: Develop, Deploy, Monitor, and Control.

Highlights of the April AppControl Update

More Flexible Release Permissions
Team members without administrative access can now be granted permission to perform releases. This makes it easier to share operational responsibilities while maintaining control and oversight.

New Platform Dashboard as Default Home
Users now land on a redesigned dashboard that offers a dynamic, real-time overview of the apps they manage. This centralized view helps surface key status information and recent activity, improving awareness across the platform.

Improved Feedback Handling
Support and feedback tickets can now include multiple attachments, making it easier to provide full context and streamline communication with the Blue Storm support team.

Clearer App Notifications
App status notifications now include key identifiers—such as app name and environment—directly in the subject line, making alerts easier to scan, sort, and act on.

Easier Revision Selection for Releases
The release process has been refined with an improved revision selector, helping users quickly identify the version they want to deploy and reducing friction during rollout.
