I am currently inverstigating some solution on how to extract data from RallyDev and present the data on a big screen in the office for the organization. The information I would like to display is "burndown chart pr. team" (we have 5 SCRUM teams); Top 5 tasks in progress by the indiviual teams and the iteration status ex "7 days remaning in the sprint (22/07/2013 to 02/08/2013).
We have presentation tool for our big sceens called "beats" which can display pictures from a network folder and the images are changed every 7 secound. The idea is to create a image with the information descriped above in one slide(image) pr. team.
My question is now have these images can be created, does any of you know or have expirences with a solution like this? or any recommendation for me:)
So far I have played around with Ruby to extract data into excel and created a macro in excel which created the burndown chart and list the tasks and the iteration status. But it's more at static solution, where have to do stuff manual every day. I was more looking for an automated solution with a windows schduler or somethink else.
Let me know if you have any thoughts on a solution and thanks for taking time to read this.
You may explore writing apps using Rally App SDKs. There are two SDKs: the older AppSDK 1 based on Dojo framework and the new AppSDK 2 based on ExtJS framework:
Rally WS API documentation and object model
Documentation on App SDK 1 and App SDK 2
How to run apps outside of Rally
LoginKey functionality which predates AppSDK2. You may use it with AppSDK 1. It allows displaying Rally standard reports and custom apps outside of Rally without having to login. It uses encoded read-only (viewer) user credentials.
Lookback API allows to see what any work item or collection of work items looked like in the past. This is different from using WS API directly, which can provide you with the current state of objects, but does not have historical data. LBAPI works with AppSDK 2

We have a similar platform to MailChimp and we want to create the same kind of integration. The integration creates custom tab and MC integration can be used on every page, even if your page only has 1 like, you can use it with no problems. Overall FB has a new policy that only pages with at least 2000 likes can create and use custom tab apps.
Did they have some special agreement to get past this or do you have to be partner or anything else?
It would be great to know if there are some ways to get past the requirement just as MC.
I have an idea for a web app project, however, due to not having any programming knowledge, I'm first asking here for directions. Essentially, I wonder if the idea is realistic and what the most effective way could be for me to tackle it.
I want to combine several open-data sources, some in the form of API's (e.g. Google maps), others in the form of statistics in Excel sheets. Like a Mashup of different sources? The idea is to use the data to perform some data crunching and in effect provide some insights from this data in an aggregated way. I have previously played around with dashboards during an internship and I am attracted by the idea to maybe produce a Single page application for my idea with some visualisation. Any thoughts on this?
I have looked at the following services online, but I have no idea if they can help me produce a web app which aggregates different data sources and that allows for nice presentation:
Zoho Creator,
QlikSense,
Sproutcore,
Caspio
Any thoughts on this are highly appreciated!
Best regards

How do I use the Rally UI or Excel "CA Agile Central" add-in to get the initiative, feature and user story? I need to know the features under each initiative. I also need the user stories under each feature. (Initiative -> Feature -> User Story). Once this data is in a .CSV I can use Excel to pivot and filter.
Also, I'd prefer not to write code and call the API since this should be an easy set of data to extract.
Thanks.
There are a handful of apps that already do most of this. Custom List, which is already in the app catalog should make it easy to set up lists of features under a specific initiative and stories under a specific feature (or even all stories under features under a specific initiative). You can also export directly from the app.
There is also a community app called Custom Chart that allows for some basic charting and uses the same filtering component as Custom List. You can also export from this app. It is available here: https://github.com/RallyCommunity/CustomChart and is installed using the Custom HTML app.
Does that get you closer?
I am newbie for iPhone application and I want to create iPhone application based on the website client have. What I want to do is show the Upcoming Courses from this website. Any idea how to do that?
Note that, the table that is there in section Upcoming Courses is static data and this site is created using Joomla. The web-developer do the changes in the Upcoming Courses section on a weekly basis depending on the courses.
Could anyone suggest me right path what needs to be done?
I also tried to search on google and found that RSS need to be created for that section. So I believe if I need to create RSS, then I would have to store this data in database. Isn't it? Is this only one way to deal with it?
My Client says, if they do the update in website, it should also get rectified in iPhone application too.
Look at the example right here:
https://github.com/greenisus/cocoa-rss
If you use Joomla, then you have a database already, of course.
I'm pretty sure that there are some sweet modules for RSS, which you can use.
Then you'd just have to parse them in your app.
There is no such thing as push in RSS, you'd have to consistently check and update your content.
I am thinking about app that will use google form and I need to create forms from that app. Is there a way how can I create form in google docs without using website but through some api or some other way?
I can offer an idea for a solution using Google App Script.
Since the beginning of 2013 you can create new forms using the App Script Forms Service API quite easily.
var form = FormApp.create(title)
.setDescription(description)
.setConfirmationMessage('Thanks for responding!')
;
The problem now is how to get that App Script running from your non App Script code.
You can use App Script to create a Web App that reacts to HTTP GET requests.
So putting it together, you may be able to create an App Script Web App that reacts to a GET request and when it gets the right URL parameters, it creates the form.
(Nov 2020) Yes, it is possible to programmatically create Google Forms. You can do it with Google Apps Script using its Forms service. You can also extend the code to read in the contents from Google Docs (with Apps Script's Document service) and use it for the creation of Google Forms.
I created a Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) Add-on, which you can think of as a Google Docs extension, called GFormIt. Its original purpose was intended for teachers to write exams/quizzes, possibly with answers, in Google Docs, then automatically convert them to Google Forms to distribute to students who submit their answers into Google Sheets (the destination for Google Forms submissions).
Furthermore, if you (the teacher) provided answers to your test questions, GFormIt would also auto-submit your answers to the Sheet as if you were a student. If you do that, and use a tool like Flubaroo to grade the exam, you could designate your row in the Sheet as “the answer key.” You can learn more about how it works, including viewing a short video, at the GFormIt page linked above.
This Google Docs add-on, along with others for Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, etc., are all certified/validated by Google and available for free to anyone from the Google Workspace Marketplace. (However, your admins may have to grant permissions for you to try to install them to your corporate Workspace account.) If interested in building your own add-on, please see the developer documentation and perhaps some of my introductory videos to get started, the most relevant being the one linked to at the top of this answer.
Apps Script is a serverless Google technology, meaning you write your code (using JavaScript) in the browser, and it is hosted by & executed on Google servers. If you wanted to create your own web app (and hosted anywhere), you would have to wait for a Google Forms REST API which does not exist at the time of this writing. (If we ever launch one, you'll find its documentation at https://developers.google.com/forms along with the others like Sheets https://developers.google.com/sheets, Gmail https://developers.google.com/gmail, Drive https://developers.google.com/drive, etc.)
Earlier this year (Mar 2022) the new Google Forms Api graduated from Beta. It is more powerful that the previous versions and caters for two main use cases:
Automated form creation and editing: Enables automated form creation
and editing. Enables rapid form generation from large volume question
banks or other data backends.
Reaction to Form responses: The API also enables developers to build
automations for acting on incoming responses. Examples include
developing real-time dashboards or visualizations and triggering
business workflows based on response data.
We have used it to build an integration that Creates documents and slides each time a form is completed: www.portant.co/google-forms-to-docs and it works really well.
I think the other key use case looks like it would be a good fit for you and others looking for a solution like this.
Cheers, James
Sorry, the API doesn't support programmatically creating forms.
