We have been working very hard to get this latest beta release out, the response to BDC Meta Man Web Edition at the SharePoint Best Practices Conference in San Diego was fantastic, it’s such a great feeling to get the responses we did.

Associations was one of our biggest technical challenges with the solution so far, it has taken some great effort to get to where it is now and I hope people appreciate how much effort has gone in :)

I am still impressed when we use our latest product as it does make creating Application Definition File’s so much easier, the screen cast I recorded for this version is only about 5 minutes long and that includes, an intro, navigating to the application page, connecting to my data source, adding entities, drawing associations, importing into the Business Data Catalog and then joining a Business data and Business data related list with the LobSystem! Impressive I am sure you will agree!

We have recently started using UserVoice to allow our customers to leave feedback, add ideas and generally get

more involved in some of the direction our products take. you will notice a red tab on the left hand side of the pages on the Lightning Tools website when a product can have feedback left, please take the time to leave us a comment or two as it will be listened too.

Looking forward to the response to the latest release!
