Last week when I blogged about transferring Notes view data into a spreadsheet, I was overwhelmed by your immediate requests to have this same functionality, but with Lotus Symphony. Well, here you go. The demo application has now been updated with a "Transfer Data To Symphony" action button. You can download the updated application here.
Update Jan 15/08: The "Transfer To Symphony" action button works in Lotus Notes 8.0.1 and above, but that does not mean that there are not ways to do this in earlier releases.
This makes for an extremely compelling demo, since the spreadsheet is opened inside Lotus Notes. This results in a very seamless process for the user, and that should certainly impress your boss, and drive those Notes 8 upgrades!
In case you did not notice, the demo application also has as a few views which use colour coding features to show how you can highlight data. If the value is below 25 it will be red, between 25 and 75 yellow, and above 75 green. In one of the views I just colour the text, in the other, the text and the background. I don't think enough customers use these simple and effective features in their Notes applications, so my hope is that this demo can help people appreciate what Notes is capable of! ;-)
