This is Ben Langhinrichs of Genii Software
with Out Of Notes, part 2: Capsule Views.
In this, I show how Midas V5 extends the ability to create a snapshot of Notes data.
As I showed you in Part 1, the Curb Appeal database is here and there's a listing,
and we can export a snapshot of a single document,
and look at it as a single file form of one document showing all the data.
But what if we want to take a look at multiple documents at one time?
So, let's say we want to take these four documents... step through them,
and we want to send them to a customer but just as a single file.
For this, Midas introduces the idea of "capsule views".
We'll export these as a capsule Web Archive, so also a .MHT file.
If we open that up, what you'll see looks very similar except with a navigation bar.
If you click on the navigation bar,
you'll simply step through the different documents all put together.
This is still a single file so you can send it to a customer,
and they can get a snapshot of a group of data,
with generally not more than about 20 documents.
This is the code. As you can see, it's fairly simple.
So again, this is one of the ways Midas 5 is extending the
ability to create a snapshot of data and take it out of Notes. Thank you very much.
