| In this article, I outline how to set up the ETC Shared Component Framework which was covered in my book, Xcelsius 2008 Dashboard Best Practices. After the book went to print, the Xcelsius 20008 product was modified. The versions of Xcelsius 2008 after Service Pack 1 introduced some behaviors that defeated features and benefits utilized by the original Shared Component Framework. This article corrects for the anomalies introducted by the product change and shows how to make effective use of sharing components. Sample files are included for both Xcelsius 2008 (with Service Pack 4) as well as Dashboard Design (6.0). |
