Easiest Way to
Display Data in SharePoint
Just open the On-Board Designer,
point to a data source, select
your data, configure the view
and you are finished. Convenient
property lists let you set data
types, default grouping, column
sizes, and more. Gone is the
need for SharePoint Designer and
difficult code. You don't even
need to use the page's edit
mode.
-
Instantly Connect to Virtually Any
Data Source
Use the On-Board Designer to
point to SharePoint lists (even
on other sites), SQL Server,
Oracle, and Excel (you don't
need MOSS) and select the data
you want to display. You don't
need SharePoint's BDC, there is
no code required, and you don't
have to use Excel as a data
viewer. You just need the Web
Part and permission to access
your data.
-
Allow End-Users to Edit and Update
Data
Give your users the ability to
edit data, regardless of where
it comes from (lists, SQL
Server, Oracle, Excel). Adding,
removing and editing records is
easy and fluid. There are no
post-backs or lengthy page
refreshes.
-
View, Sort, Group, and Filter
without a Single Refresh
When viewing a typical
SharePoint page, you have to
wait for a refresh each time you
change the data view. Want to
sort a column? Wait for the page
to refresh. Want to apply a
filter? Wait for the page to
refresh. The ComponentOne
DataGrid for SharePoint performs
these functions instantly
without reloading the page. Also,
scroll the entire table. Gone is
the need to page through large
data sets.
-
Enjoy Complete Control Over the Data
View
Set presentation properties (e.g.,
column widths, data types,
headings), toggle visibility,
set default groups and filters,
and even configure master-detail
relationships with just a few
clicks. And you can allow your
users to customize the grid as
well!
-
Instant Master-Detail Relationships
Navigating related database
tables and lists is easy with
the ComponentOne DataGrid for
SharePoint. Use the On-Board
Designer to select tables and
related columns, then for any
data row you can quickly drill
down into the details.
-
Connect Web Parts for Rich
Interaction
Connect ComponentOne WebParts to
one another or SharePoint Web
Parts to your ComponentOne Web
Parts. This level of
interactivity will ensure that
you are always showing
meaningful data.
-
Coding Optional
The On-Board Designers make
creating and configuring
ComponentOne Web Parts a simple
matter of pointing-and-clicking.
But, if you need to go beyond
the designer options, feel free
to use code to customize the Web
Parts even further. Ease of use
and extensibility go very well
together.
-
Real ROI
In just a few minutes, insert
the DataGrid Web Part on your
page, connect to your data, and
configure your view. Changing
the view is just as easy. You
get a grid view that would take
developers weeks to code. The
DataGrid will pay for itself the
first time you use it on a
typical project.
How We Compare
When viewing data with SharePoint's
out-of-the box features, you have a few
choices in the way that you can display
data. You can enter data in a SharePoint
list, code a view in SharePoint designer,
use Excel as a data viewer, or set up
connections through the Business Data
Catalog (BDC). These methods are labor
intensive and feature limited. The
ComponentOne DataGrid for SharePoint
provides a non-technical way to connect to
data sources and configure views while
delivering a more useful feature set.
