Ryan,

can you tell me - what location the SAVED files live in? Are they XML, Temp internet files? I've always tried to find the saved files with no sucess.

Regards

Daniel

Thanks for your contributions to the XCelsius community.

One question where does the SWF application "write" the local scenario information to on the user's machine.

Thanks for the article.

You can certainly 'rig' Xcelsius to communicate back with the server. Just pass in any relevant data though a web service entry point. You can even use a nice button to kick it off.

Thank you for very informative topic.

Is it possible to solve scenario 2 with crystal report and publicaion function in BOE?

My Cus ask me the feasibility of that solution.

My understanding is that this approach can't solve scenario 4 but sort out scenario 2.

There certainly is a method for writing to an XML file or CSV, which could then be loaded into a data base, or loaded into another Xcelsius dashboard. I would check out Xport Wizard at centigonsolutions.com

I am new to Xcelsius, but found some useful information in your article.

I would like to have you elaborate on a couple of points.

I need to be able to capture comments when viewing my dashboard.

It would be awesome to be able to write back to a database. I am not using Business Objects Enterprise, but I am using Crystal Reports 2008 as well as Xcelsius.

I know Business Objects Enterprise very well if I need to use it.

1) How do I create a dashboard and have the ability to add text comments?

2) How would I write that back to a database? I could even write it back to a spreadsheet or XML file.

3) I would like to automate this so I could give it to someone, let them review dashboard, make their comments
and hit some button that will save their comments to a database.
(Ultimate goal, but not sure if do-able).
