I have an WO App that I am experimenting with. I am trying to use it to learn D2W.
I have had to replace a shared excel spread sheet with my app and it is working quite well. From the first day my users were impressed and happy to get off of excel. Of course I had to make it appear that they were viewing an excel spread sheet in a browser. and they had requirements. the main one being that rows are colored to indicate status. Green = AE needs to resolve issues. Red = Client must resolve text changes. and a few other colors. When the traffic person looks at the app, she sees multiple colored rows and she knows what to do. Of course she could ask for only the Gold colored rows (Objects that she must complete today). I am storing the status of each row and I use the CSS in my Wonder app to change the row colors (individual columns have colors also to indicate other stuff). How do I approach this in D2W? I can not argue that the design is either good nor bad. It is what it is. I had to match what was there or they would still be using the excel spread sheet. You have no idea how hard I had to work to get the users to understand the concept of a row being complete so it no longer shows up unless you ask for the completed rows or search including completed rows. I am redoing the app to allow log in with permissions to various functions (i.e. the client can view but not change meta data). I can continue as a Wonder app or keep plugging along in D2W. I want to learn the D2W. Ted _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
