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.

Hi Rick,

Are you still having difficulty? Here is the link to download the recording of InfoAssist webinar: http://www.informationbuilders.com/events/seminars/developers/?120

Please fill out the form and click on Submit. Then you should be able to download the recording.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
If you have registered for a webinar and then find you won't be able to attend, is there some way to cancel?

Hi Leo,

If you would like to cancel your registration, please email to focalpoint@ibi.com and we will make the update on our side.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Kerry

I am unable to download ANY of the recorded webcasts, either! When I fill the form and submit I get a save-as dialog box, which I answer. However, the download never starts.

What should I do?
