Trade Show Management on the Mapper

Trade Show Mapping on the SharePoint Bing Mapper

This webcast demonstrates an application added of the SharePoint Bing Mapper platform.  In this scenario I will demonstrate reserving spaces for a trade show on the mapper.

To keep the video moving I have omitted some detail as well as repetitive actions like switching users.

Points to remember:

  1. Registering trade show participants is only a small part of what can be accomplished with this tool.  The map and data created can also be used for payment tracking, setup instructions for facilities and as a public map for attendees to navigate around the grounds.
  2.  It is completely extensible.  The base configuration can be added to or taken away from.  If there are additional data points that need to be collected it is a simple matter of configuration.  In the event that a new feature is required but isn't available through configuration (such as data transfer to an external system) custom code can be added with minimal effort.
  3. It is easily styled.  I know, shame on me for not taking the time to do some extra UI customization, but I only have so much time.  The application can be customized through the use of CSS and JQuery giving complete control over the look and feel.

Thanks for viewing!
