Introduction

OpenInsight for Web (O4W) is a rapid application development tool that lets you generate responsive forms, reports, and dashboards. Use our GUI drag-and-drop to lay out your forms and then test in both desktop and mobile browser mode. Or use our full-function API to create the most sophisticated web pages. O4W makes it possible for OpenInsight developers with limited or no HTML/XML/JavaScript experience to develop feature rich web pages. O4W is designed to work the way OpenInsight developers think, taking advantage of the skills and knowledge they already have. While users with more web development experience can use O4W’s advanced features, all developers can create modern web applications (using JavaScript, XHTML, and AJAX) through O4W’s APIs.
