Excel/Groove

[Brice]

I would like to know if it is possible to link a template with an Excel
sheet: for example, that the Groove template and an excel sheet are linked so
that if someone changes something to the template it will change in my linked
Excel sheet the data as well???
And it is possible also to make some calculations on a template?

Thank you

Hi Brice -

If by "template", you mean a Groove Forms tool, then yes it is doable but
requires some (rather a lot, actually) programming to achieve.

We about to start a similar integration job for a customer right now with
one of their engineering applications.

Thank you Mark but i have other questions for you:
If someone fills a form all the data will go where???
Is ti possible like in excel to make calculations in Groove ?
is it possible to link several pages like for example if someone fills 3
forms i can have one copy of what he copied?


Thank you for your answer again

Hi Brice -

Given there's no existing tools to do this for Groove Forms, your questions
are a bit academic.

The basic gist of integrating collaboration into applications using Groove
is to modify the application to store (a copy of) its data in a Groove Forms
tool, and to watch the Groove Forms tool for changes from other users.
