Timeline Data Display is a very Powerful Data Evaluation tool that can process and display data in a Meaningful format on Invoices,
Inventory Items, appointments, etc. Any Data file with a
resource Id (Inventory Item, Employee, invoice, etc) and numerical field (QTY, Amount each, invoice
total, duration, etc) can be processed and present the
data in a format of your choosing. (average sales per invoice, total
sales for each inventory item, appointments for each employee, Time
utilization of Rental Equipment)
TimeLineGraph can graph
a project/task type file, any file with a
resource id, start date, and end date and present the
results in a easy to understand Gantt type listbox chart format.
The TimeLineGraph can further be limited to Active items in the time period and
limited to a Parent Resource Id. You can elect to skip every other line
for better visual results. The colors are configurable.
The BST List Boxes can all be dynamically driven
from the BCTCalendar Controls or to use a programmer provided Variable
with the NoBCTCal extension template.
Are you ready for an entirely different Paradigm for Dynamic List boxes and
Dynamic Calendars?
One that you have complete control over the look and feel? WYSIWYG? With
Runtime configuration Controls if you wish? Then Read on.
All the templates are controls, so you have complete control over the
properties, look, feel, color, etc. Just add them to a window, tab, wherever you
need them. There is one Extension template for use when you don't want a dynamic
calendar interface.
Large and Small Calendars, and now Bar Calendar Date Selectors that can also be used as lookups. Fully configurable
as they are on screen controls.
