Cleaning up CRM with Ajax Grids – Screencast | May 16th, 2007
DataForce is using Nitobi’s Ajax Grid to improve the usability and the work flow for salespeople using their web based CRM product, LeadNET. They were looking for true “Excel-like” functionality right in the browser with no client side install, so Ajax was the obvious choice.
Some of the features they benefited from most:
- Inline editing of cells
- Select boxes in grid cells
- Live scrolling
- Re-sizable columns
- Frozen columns
- Copy/paste between grids and excel
- Master detail linking between grids
To see all these features in action watch the screencast Jim Romano of DataForce put together . I should add that even major CRM players like Salesforce don’t have anywhere near this type of rich interaction, especially the inline editin, copy and paste and live scrolling. I love it towards the end when he says “this has become the heart of the system”. Just let us know what else you need Jim:)
If you have a cool use of a Nitobi Ajax Component or our Toolkit just let me know and we’ll profile. Not a screencast expert no worries, we’ll help you out!
