The Lightning Conductor Web Part from Lightning Tools is a rollup web part that can aggregate your SharePoint List Items and Documents from across different SharePoint Sites, Site Collections and Web Applications into a single view. The view can be styled including conditional formatting without needing to write any code.
Rather than having developers write hundreds of lines of XSLT code to aggregate documents and list items such as tasks from across SharePoint in a single view, the Lightning Conductor Web Part enables your Power and End Users to drop a web part on a page and configure what data they want to be displayed. A simple wizard based approach is used to configure which sites to roll up from and which columns to be displayed.
Key Features
Rollup from all areas of SharePoint
The Lightning Conductor can rollup up SharePoint items from anywhere within your SharePoint Farms. Documents and List Items can be rolled up from within the same Site Collection, from across Site Collections, and from different Web Applications.
Easy configuration
A wizard based approach allows users to select the sources of the rollup and which columns to be displayed.
Powerful views
Out of the box views allow library and list items to be displayed, and a powerful Calendar XSL view can render items in a calendar format. For users comfortable editing XSL and javascript templates, the Lightning Conductor has the ability to utilize user created views meaning the display options are limitless.
Caching
If you are rolling up from a large set of data or from a huge number of sites, caching is available to speed up the display of information. The cache is completely configurable to allow you to get the best performance for your rollup views.
Conditional Formatting
Conditional formatting can be applied to entire rows and columns based upon aggregated content conditions.
