Additional HTML5 grids coming

AdaptableBlotter.JS extends popular HTML5 grid components - providing, out of the box, all the powerful functionality that financial users have come to expect and which in-house teams need to develop themselves. AdaptableBlotter.JS already supports many of the leading vendor and open source grids, as well as providing our own Adaptable Grid specially configured to work closely with the Adaptable Blotter. AdaptableBlotter.JS provides the same functionality regardless of which underlying grid is chosen. We have a list of grid controls that we plan to integrate with AdaptableBlotter.JS; we are currently implementing the powerful ag-Grid which offers excellent aggregation and server filtering capabilities. If you have a favourite HTML5 grid that you would like to see working with AdaptableBlotter.JS, get in touch and we'll take a look.

Multiple blotters working together

At Adaptable Tools we work hard to make your work easier. So one of the current projects heading your way soon will enable multiple browser-based blotters and other trading widgets to communicate and share data in the same workspace. We are working closely with Finsemble - an OpenFin application framework which provides infrastructure, services, and components for quickly building HTML5 multi-window desktop applications. So, for example, a trader could have multiple blotters (e.g. positions, trade and pricing) all sharing data, updates and even filters, while also accessing other vital applications like charts or trade capture screens - and all from within a single application.
