The new Item Renderer feature is a powerful way to combine any graphical set of components (labels, images, bars, etc.) into an easily duplicated list. The Item Renderer is basically a graphical version of a summary that builds and updates automatically using a query. Imagine building a summary page for your VAVs or Fan Coils, once in your library, and never having to edit or change a summary page again. Once the summary page is built, all you do is duplicate the VAV/Equipment in Niagara, and the summary page is automatically done. Now imagine combining that functionality with some additional standard functions such as actions and popups, the result is a truly immersive user experience. Check out this video for a sample of how the Item Renderer works, and make your next equipment summary using this advanced combination of features.

You can try 2.5 today by ordering a start-up kit online or become a reseller through one of our Distributors – for existing customers simply launch FIN Builder and it will prompt you for an automatic upgrade! (If you're using the previous version FIN Builder 2.0 (Vampire) and you haven't received the update message, please contact support at: support@j2inn.com)

Our partners have been applying what they have learned in training and then taken their creativity to a whole new level. Check out how ControlCo has used FIN Builder to enable an incredible user experience.
