Hi

Up to now I've only seen 2 (generic) representations/views of data in Openbravo:

1. form representing one record,
2. grid representing a collection of records.

I some cases people want to see data represented differently.

Some examples:

• a calendar representation of e.g. sales records,
• a map (like Google Maps) representing locations of customers,
• a 2D representation of a warehouse,
• a Gantt chart like interface for production planning,
• etc.

Hovering over a "record" in the representation could show a popup with some kernel data of the record.

Of course these representations should be interactive. Drag 'n drop, click 'n resize, ...

Examples:

• moving a product from one storage bin to another by dragging 'n dropping in the 2D representation of your warehouse,
• moving an order to another date in calendar representations,
• etc.

Every collection of data could have one or more alternative representations.

It should of course be possible for the community to create and plug in new representations easily into Openbravo. :-)

Does anyone think this is a concept worth further exploring?

Best regards

Frédéric
