  • ahh straight HTML code... coming to the resuce again. yes that makes a lot of sense. Should be able to get together something just fine from that custom object stuff. excellent! Thanks chris
  • i get the impression that reading up on the DB schema's and such may be a big benefit to see what i could make it do for me... we need to be able to present happy face / sad face level details for a site for sub 1st-line IT and high level management, and there's not anythign i can see in orion currently able to do that,…
  •  it could be messy if done wrong, but as a generic thing, to be able to take absolutely any object from type of page and insert it anywhere else you want as long as you manually provide that implicitly provided information in it's original context, you'd get a lot better flexibility. i guess i'm seeing things in a…

Thanks!…
  • Do you feel confident that this will keep your system able to be easily updated and maintained? Last thing i'd want is a personalised system that's been tweaked too much to be able to update easily. the general structure looks simple but it could easily be a slippery slope i guess... i don't *think* that with the normal…
  •  ok thanks, if we become a customer i'll be heading that way fairly quickly. seems like a very odd thing to hav enot had since day one... maybe i just don't have enough experience of this sort of monitoring.
  • OK, well that's really very dissapointing. this module would have been a critical part of the overall solution, but it looks largely useless if it can't even aggregate data.
