Based on limited usage of Mashzone (professional) I have come up with several items which I would like to see implemented (or learn how to do if they are already available)
1. NTLM authentication, this is almost a showstopper.
2. Spider charts-Someone in management found out about these and now we need to do lots of these. Having these available in MZ would be tremendous
3. Text Box, easy comments. Our current reporting (powerPoint format) is a combination of graphs and text. The text may be bullet points or paragraph style. Is there a recommended best practice on how to incorporate this into a mashapp? I was thinking of adding a 'comments' column in my excel and bringing it across as a table. This is ugly but could be a workaround. We want all information to come from the excel files.
4, Is there a best practice definition for each of the display components? I have gone through the manuals and there is some information there but for example I need to communicate to my process owners something like the following:
Line chart good for trending measurments
speedometer good for single value against a target
traffic light good for single value against thresholds
and so on. The issue is that with the easy tio implement 'cool' components like speedometers and so on the process owners will want to use the 'cool' features which may not be the best format for their measurement. Any guidance will be appreciated.
5. And finally, does anyone know if purchasing support would get us a named contact? I love the community forum but see that many posts die out without a solution. Do the posts get resolved offline or do people give up on solving the issue?
Thanks in advance
Donald
