Windows 7 Our preliminary testing has shown that OpenInsight 9.x performs nicely with the Windows 7 operating system. Only OpenInsight 9.x and above will be certified to run on Windows 7.
In Development We are already in the process of developing a web reporting tool and development toolkit to go "hand in hand" with WebOI. The OpenInsight for Web (O4W) Development Toolkit makes it possible for OpenInsight developers with limited or no HTML/XML/javascript experience to develop feature rich web pages. O4W is designed to work the way OpenInsight developers think, taking advantage of the skills and knowledge they already have. While users with more web development experience can use O4W's advanced features, all developers can create modern web applications (using javascript, XHTML, and AJAX) through O4W's APIs. Below is an example of a web page generated using the O4W Reporting tool. With the Reporting tool, developers can create reports that contain menus, collector Windows, drill down to details, sortable columns and export to PDF or CSV.
The OpenInsight for Web (O4W) Development Toolkit is scheduled to be included in OpenInsight Release 9.2.
