Paint and Alert

The new addition to the Cap-PHP-Library, Paint and Alert, was developed for Meteorological Forecast-Institutes without softwaredevelopement.

The Cap-PHP-Library was extended so that... a user which is logged in to the Meteoalarm webservice and has the permissions to warn a certain country via CAP-Import ... is shown an additional application called Paint and Alert in the menu. The visual interface eases the input and saves a lot of hassle with the necessities of the Cap-Standard.
We spare the user every setting that is not absolutely necessary. Paint and Alert was developed with a responsive design that is fully supported by tablets. The interface resembles a paint program.
