Infragistics NetAdvantage for SharePoint released

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 11:36:00 GMT

Showing different gauge types in SharePoint.

Extend your SharePoint experience with easily configurable and scalable Web parts.

Infragistics NetAdvantage for SharePoint allows business users to visualize their data quickly and easily with a rewarding design experience. It includes a set of Web parts that you can deploy on your SharePoint servers for your team. These include interactive charts and gauges, maps that provide the right level of detail at the right zoom level, a content rotator that animates multimedia content, and a visually compelling version timeline with which you can quickly see relationships between documents and the people who manage them. Infragistics NetAdvantage for SharePoint allows business users to visualize their key business metrics in charts and gauges. Its rich user interface allows them to quickly bind data to the charts and gauges, whether from a SharePoint list, an Excel Services spreadsheet, or an external data source exposed through BCS. Infragistics NetAdvantage for SharePoint extends Microsoft SharePoint 2010 functionality with customizable Web parts that make it even easier to share information with others, manage documents from start to finish, and publish reports to help everyone make better decisions.

Features

Version Timeline - Totally manage your document library. Follow files created at specific times and apply author filters. You can even Un-publish major versions if required with the Version Timeline Web part. Ensure that your users have the most up to date information with the Version Timeline Web part. This Web part provides a graphic view of different versions of a document across a horizontal timeline so that your team has access to the latest revision of any document. You can track individuals' contributions so that when people collaborate on a document, you can quickly track each person's changes.
Content Rotator - Promote everything from company activities, announcements, news, products launches and more using the Content Rotator Web part. Point to banners and videos from multiple sources and create content with captivating animations, titles, and descriptions.
Data Chart - Enjoy a seamless design experience that allows you to spend your time interpreting your data rather than figuring out how to see it and present it. If your data is in a SharePoint list, or exposed through Microsoft BCS (Business Connectivity Services) you can point to your data and quickly define the axes of your chart. Customizing the look and feel of the chart is simple, as is overlaying multiple data sets onto the same chart.
Gauge - Create dashboards of Key Performance Indicators by binding your data to the Gauge Web part. You can customize both radial and linear gauges to demonstrate where trouble begins and ends, so that you can quickly spot business areas that require your attention. Use single display value radial or linear gauges to provide sales forecasts based on information regularly processed from your data warehouse. Engineering organizations can create sophisticated radial or linear gauges with multi-value displays to expose insights such as quality control information with near real-time defect rates.
Map - Using open data sources like Microsoft Bing, Open Street Map and Geographic Information Systems you can build interactive multi-layered maps in no time. It's straightforward to apply a data source with appropriate geographical information to a map and format the result to provide a visual representation of the data. For example, you could show population density by country and drill down to state, county and even deeper as needed. Energy companies could show the distribution of oil wells and other assets. Sales managers can display sales results by region and drill down to show local offices.
