http://mydigitalstructure.com/gettingstarted_build_options lists the 6 different common options you can use to build apps on mydigitalstructure - from doing nothing through to a fully architected app.

Also, all these options are highly compatible with existing classic mydigitalspace applications - so you can incrementally add this functionality to any application built on the ibCom framework over the last 12 years!

We've just made some more updates to the financial endpoint.

Making it even easier to integrate financial functionality into your application or to build an accounting app.

Let your imagination go wild.. no comprising on the user interface! :-)

Cassie has just completed some great work in regards to using the new generic functionality that allows the results of an advanced search to create a custom email that is personally sent to each person using the data returned in the results.

This gives incredible power to the designer/developer when creating work flow alerts and also user created bulk communications.

eg

1. User defines search
2. Search results returned
3. User uses document editor to insert the "tags" based on the other data returned
4. User then clicks Send
5. The mydigitalstructure.com messaging engine then sends to each person in the original search.
