Attention DNN newbies, mavericks and mavens!
I’m getting very close to sharing some very exciting news with you…
But where would be the fun if I didn’t tease you a little first? Let me just say this: displaying responsive and touch-friendly tables of data in DNN won’t be anymore supernatural for all the DNN enthusiasts and developers out there.
Well, for some of you, the integration of powerful tables from multiple sources into DNN projects may seem like a no-brainer at this point. And for others, it may just seem like a confusing mess that you have to do, but would rather avoid.
No matter what stage you are in, you can't sit on your laurels for long. As a modern DNNizen, you must quickly (and smartly) evolve your data management strategy and harness its awesome power for the good of your business.
Ah Yes… The Moment You’ve Been Waiting For…
Folks, one of our long-waited and most-anticipated DNN module has finally arrived. The new hotness from DNN Sharp has been bottled up long enough, and now it’s time for all that sexy to hit the masses.
Action Grid is ready to ride the waves of DNN!
So, first of all, we must say that Action Grid couldn’t have happened without the insight and funding from our friends Richard and Kevin. Thanks guys, you rock!
What Is All About?
Well, Action Grid solves a wide array of problems that affect every DNNizen...
It enables the integration of powerful tables from multiple sources into DNN projects, providing a simple, yet flexible means of displaying data in a tabular format.
The table style of a data grid allows viewing data in a modern looking responsive table complete with headers, sorting, filtering, searching and more.
To help you hit the ground running with Action Grid, we’ve prepared a getting started video tutorial. Be sure to watch it and ask yourself if any other commercial DNN module even comes closet to this.
If I had to draw your attention to a few "important" highlights shipped with Action Grid, I'd encourage you to focus on:
- Data filtering
- Customizable pagination
- Touch experience
- Sorting capabilities
- Responsiveness
- Action Form data source
- Database table data source
- SQL Query data source
- Dozens of integrations available
- Events and actions
- Extensible framework
- Redirect actions
- User and roles action
- Send emails
- Execution context
- And way, way, more…
Not enough space to go over everything here… there are still tons of really cool features that you’ll discover once you play with it.
Perhaps it’s a little easier to understand when you see in action. So check out the Action Grid demo and try it for yourself.
Wait, What’s That! You Don’t Have Action Grid Yet?
Well don’t just stand there! Go get the trial version!
Honestly, if you haven’t started downloading it by now, you’re probably a masochist.
Closing...
In our adventures to create tools that help you kick ass, we could use some advice. What are you looking for that would make your DNN project better? What features do you want to see in Action Grid? Our forums are waiting for your feedback.
Posting has been a bit light here lately. We’ve had a jam-packed last several weeks and the exciting thing is that some cool stuff are in the home stretch. Can’t wait to share...
