Employee Directory V2 Released on Adobe
NOTE: Updated URL’s to adobe.com
Just thought I would announce the re-release of the Employee Directory AIR application on Labs. I am excited to show off what I think is a very useful corporate directory application that provides a better experience for finding fellow employees and conference rooms.
Technically, the application is probably not the best place for pure beginners to learn Flex and AIR, as it was built using best practices for extensible medium to large applications. That said, it is a great starting point for building your own corporate directory application - its very similar to what we’re using internally at Adobe.
Some of the AIR features demonstrated:
- Offline data storage using SQL API’s
- Resizable, transparent windows with automatic position management
- Data synchronization and automatic application updates
Check out the sample application here.
Hi,
I browsed the source code, it seems really neat and will definitely be inspiring for us..
If you have time (and if you are @Max) come by our stand (Business Objects, #37), I would be really pleased to talk to you (and I have some demo too :p)

I’d love to add into this our help desk/asset tracking list of who has which equipment.
Numara Track-It uses a SQL db, this oughta be possible…

Well, now I see the reference to DSML XML schema being how Adobe used it internally, and we use Active Directory…

Hi, Daniel,
What a great program! I have been studying your program for a while and I am always impressed by its elegance. I am just wondering, how long does it take you to write such a program?

Heya Daniel, do you have any tutorial for your Employee Directory?
I kinda messed around with SQL statement in your code, i did uncomment create table and all that stuff, but it still executing it.
If you have any pointers that would be great.

Daniel,
The App has been removed from Labs. Where can we find it now?

How do you get it to refresh the data? In your post about the older version you said there was a ? icon. I dont see it in this version.

I remember this being demo’d at FlexCamp London - there was an office map feature included in that version, and there’s not one in the online demo. I don’t suppose we could see the source for that feature, could we? - cheeky, I know.
