Maddox Ford at Brio 2002 - A Brio Developer's JavaScript Toolkit

David Eastwood of Maddox Ford gave a presentation at the annual Brio user conference – Brio 2002 – held November 7-9 2002. The presentation discussed some of the JavaScript utilities used by Maddox Ford when developing Brio applications.

David described a variety of JavaScript functions that have proved useful when developing large-scale Brio Intelligence reporting applications. As well as being useful in their own right, the code presented illustrates a number of important principles that should be followed when developing JavaScript within Brio Intelligence as well as the coding standards we have used when working in JavaScript

A selection of sample code was shown, including:

• Functions to assist automatic logon and reconnection
• Setting data defaults in limits
• Copying limits
• Basic dashboard utilities
• Showing EIS settings on reports
• Checking results sets
• Export to Excel via OLE
