Hello Kathleen,

Do you have the recorded presentation of Updated: Tips and Techniques from the FOCWizards?

Thanks

When will Relational Efficiencies Part I be available online?

Also, a suggestion for future Web seminar. Would it be possible to have the presentation/powerpoint available prior to the broadcast so we could print it off to facilitate note taking?

Thanks.

Hello - The recording can be found under the Tips and Techniques section here http://www.informationbuilders.com/support/developers/webcasts.html

We can certainly try to post the PPT before hand but sometimes the presenter is still making tweaks.

Thanks
Kathleen

Hi Michael and all,

FYI, we are looking into this problem with internals and will keep everyone posted.

Hi Michael,

I was told that the problem is fixed and you should be able to download the file. Please re-try WebFOCUS 7.6.4 & 7.6.5 Update, fill out the form, and let me know if you still experience any difficulties. Thank you.

Cheers,
Kerry

Can you add the recording date to the List of presentations?

Hello - Sure, I don't see why not. It will take some back tracking but we can do that. Most of them have the date on the first slide.

Kathleen

Can't get to the Infoassist demo either - looks like a server connection error.
