Web Services provides an easy to use, simple to install, web service for posting authoritative content onto your web pages. It is a light-weight service that is server and browser independent. The service is called SACS. Each piece of authoritative content is called a SAC. The 2-step setup process takes minutes to get SACs appearing on your web pages. Once setup, SACs remain running until you remove them from your web page.
Basic HTML and copy & paste is all you need. Having additional CSS skills helps for formating your SACS data, but is not required.
No. Since it's based on javascript, it will run fine on any server.
You can contact Mark Greenfield or Doug Kozar.
Using this service is very simple. All you have to do is insert a javascript file in your html and place the tags under the corresponding div id. Please check Reference Implementation.
In SACS Version 1, the <div> wrapper (or container) is used to specify which Category is serving the label & value data pairs. The id="" attribute on the <div> tag is where you define the SACS Category.
In SACS Version 2, the <div> wrapper (or container) is used to specify which Categories are serving the label & value data pairs. The class="" attribute on the <div> tag is where you define the SACS Categories.
Note: the opening SACS <div> wrapper tag must be placed before any SACS Data Pairs are defined on your web page, and the closing </div> wrapper tag must be placed after all of your SACS Data Pairs. Otherwise, you will see the double curly bracket sets on your web page.
All the tags can be found in the Viewer.
Only authorized persons can edit the tags. If you know you have the permission, you can do so by going to the Editor.
If you are seeing something like {{A99-UB-ABCDEF-label}} on your web page, it's because you have either improperly coded and posted the key and/or the div id onto your web page. The div id and key are case sensitive and must be posted exactly as they appear on the SACS Viewer chart and by following the sample posting structure shown on the SACS Reference Implementation.
