Any integration to Windows based software such as Excel?

[Profound Logic]

Question:
Any integration to Windows based software such as Excel?

Answer:
Yes, we provide a capable PC integration API and Applet. Here is a technical explanation of how this works…

Browsers make it so that Web-based applications cannot call programs or retrieve data on the PC under normal security settings. And this makes it challenging to integrate your browser-based screens with other PC applications in your environment.

However, our PC Integration applet provides a solution for this. The applet is packaged as a “trusted’ applet, meaning that it is digitally signed so the end-users PC can trust the applet to call programs on the PC. The applet is a piece of Java code, but no Java programming is required to use it. The applet is packaged into a JAR file that is placed on your server’s file system, and downloaded by the user’s browser through. There are JavaScript API's provided that you can use to easily load the applet in your browser page. This would be placed onto the Onload Event property of your Record Format. Once this is done, you can access the applet’s functionality using simple JavaScript APIs that you can attach to any Profound UI widget. For example, once the user clicks a button, the onclick event can fire off some code to call a PC program, like Word or Excel, and pass information to it.
