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!
