add GLOBAL headers, footers and other sections
Right now, we have to add navigation menus, and header and footer code, to every data page, individually. When changes are made, we have to go through each of these data pages to apply changes.
When an application is as large as ours, this becomes too difficult and time-consuming to maintain, and makes the app prone to errors and inconsistencies.
Additionally, we would like to be able to have these GLOBAL areas controlled via authentication and other criteria. This way, we could achieve different navigation menus for different user types.
We find that this features is definitely a must for our needs.

This can be accomplished through an App Parameter of Text 64K that you include in your DataPage header or footer.

Good idea, I have the same need. Currently we use APP parameters for menus etc so that you can insert the app paramter once in your datapage header but then manage its content across the whole app by editing the one parameter.

Use iFrames for navBars

Please add also responsive to the whole app area, incl. headers, footers and content area.
Maybe you can use Bootstrap as the framework.

A WYSIWYG DataPage Editor in Design mode would be very productive, incl. Menu element.
