Appcelerator Arrow - KPI and Totals Row Example

In addition to being able to easily create integrations to back end data sources, Arrow provides several facilitates for moving data manipulation and processing operations from the client application to the Arrow server. This results in a mobile application that is more highly performant since data manipulations and computations do not need to be performed in the application. Implementing business logic and computations in the server, instead of in the mobile application, makes changes simpler, since a new mobile application does not need to be published when business logic/rules change.

#Appcelerator Arrow Builder - Multiple Post Blocks Salesforce/Geocode/Foursquare Example

In a prior post, I described how Arrow’s Block feature can be leveraged to enhance data retrieved from Salesforce to geocode the data. The sales reps that are using the mobile application are now able to map their accounts as part of their prospecting get turn-by-turn directions without having to copy and paste or manually switching between apps. Many of the sales reps asked if there was a way to see restaurants or coffee shops near the account they are visiting so that when they plan their client visit they can suggest a local coffee shop to meet at. In this blog post, we add on from our last example and add a second block that will take the Salesforce account data that now has geocode information and use the Foursquare API to get coffee shops that are near the Account. This is commonly refferred to as a data mashup. The d
