Our Weather Control is built based on a .Net User Control. The control runs out of a Compiled .Net Assembly and Integrates gracefully into SalesLogix. Since the Control is data bound, it displays weather related information based on the Current Record on the Screen. For instance, as we navigate through a list of Accounts, it will display the Local Weather based on each Account’s Zip Code. Additionally, the Control has a Weather Alert Icon. When the Flag is set it can be clicked and will open up a Web Page showing the Current Alerts.
Our control displays several Key Weather Points: An Image Representation of the Current Weather Conditions, the Current Temperature, the Projected Low and High as well as an Alert Indicator.
Our control is tightly integrated with the Application Architect. It is databound, allowing it to show Data based on the Zip Code of each Record as you navigate through the Application. It can be added directly into any Quick Forms, and then databound the same way as any of the SalesLogix Controls. Additionally, it can be added to any Custom Forms if necessary (see our Deployment Instructions for further information).
