Launching SL & Other Applications

You've been using a view that presents your SL data. Now you'd like to launch one of the SL applications with the data on one of your grid lines. This video uses the example of running a simple project list in FIDO, selecting one of the projects, and running Project Maintenance to make changes to the Project record...assuming you have security access to that program, of course!

Integrating Other Data 1

FIDO knows about any of the tables that are in your SQL database. This means that you can create views that incorporate custom tables and 3rd party software. This video shows you how to create a view that lists information from the Vendor table, along with information about the vendor from our eBanking Suite.

Integrating Other Data 2
