Customizing SeedCode

March 23, 2016

Do it yourself Most of our customers integrate and customize SeedCode on their own: they integrate DayBack Calendar into their files, skin it to look like their layouts, and create new fields and layouts in the SeedCode Complete starter solution.

Based on a customer’s request we’ve put together a neat example to show you how to convert the filters in ProMaps from drop-down lists to checkboxes so you can select multiple items at once.

This first mod was done by Lisette Wilson of Informing Designs; she’s linked ProMaps to SeedCode Calendar so that the contents of the map change as users navigate the […]
