I have been reviewing Zoho Creator (www.zoho.com) recently and decided to create a quick prototype to illustrate how it could be used with our Toucan mapping tool to do something useful.
Here's a simple scenario taken from my college studies in Urban Planning - looking at the relationship between the location of Fast Food Franchises and major highways. My main objective was to accomplish this without a single line of code (no html, no javascript, no nothing) and yet provide enough functionality to answer some basic questions, hence making this potentially useful in the business world.
Specifically, I wanted to:
- Have more than one person enter,update or view Franchise data (i.e. collaborate)
- Dynamically filter the data (by Franchise or by State).
- Display thousands of records on a map.
In less than ten minutes I assembled this (I did have the data). The form below is used to capture data.
Toucan Navigate is used to display all or a partial list (i.e. filtered) of the records stored and maintained in ZC.
So here it is - a map clearly showing the concentration of Fast Food Places along the I-95 corridor.
You can check the ZC app here: Fast Food Tracker
And download a trial (full feature) version of Toucan Navigate.
