Using custom tabs with out using infomaker

Hello Tessitutians,

I wonder if anyone has any experience with creating custom tabs without using infomaker. 

I am looking to create a text field where our marketing or development departments can leave summary information about an appeal.  Stuff that wouldn't normally appear on a data report.

Is this something that could be executed through HTML?  Or is there a better way?   I read some of the Power point Presentation from OSF and Omaha performance center and it was a little above my head.  If there is a way to do it with HTML what are some good resources that I should start with?

 Thank you

  • Hi Jason,

    You can use asp,php or straight html to make calls to the web api. Depending on your needs you may need to create custom stored procedures that can be setup to be used in the web api's Execute local procedure method.  With php and asp you will be making calls to the web api on the server end. With the html method you will be making the calls on the client side using ajax and then rendering the results. 

    I have created several screens and web custom reports if you need any help or have any questions feel free to ask.  I have posted to foot prints a call log custom screen if you want to check out some of the code.  It is using asp.net.
