With JEvolution™ you can create applications that will present your corporate information to your in-house users, customers, vendors, business partners and others. These applications are accessed via a browser, either locally or thru the web.
Technical and non-technical persons as well, can point and click their way thru a series of predefined building block templates, each containing all the programming requirements for data selection, flowcharting, design and project composition.
JEvolution™ does the rest. It puts it all together for you - building block by building block simplifying the entire process.
JEvolution™ offers a wide range of building blocks with Templates including menu development, security and control features. These templates handle 100% of the processing of database records and the programming code. This building block technology provides the developer with an organized approach for application development that removes the complex issues with programming and communications.
There are seven major building block templates for accessing data and building secured applications:
Login Template
A Login template controls the authorized access to the application, security can be validated against a security file or the network security that is in place.
A Query Constant template displays all database records within a file. The user does not have the option to alter which records s/b displayed. However, the developer can reduce the number records being displayed by incorporating a select feature within the SQL.
For example, when the developer creates the application the SQL can be modified to select and display only employees that are in the sales department instead of all departments.
A Drill Down template is used to display additional information respective to data displayed in one or more columns, additional data can be accessed from a different database system if you are accessing data from multiple systems in your application.
For example, a list of all pending payments is displayed with the Purchase order number column as a drill down. The user has clicked on purchase order 30664. The program then finds and displays all the order details for that order.
The Update Delete Template is used to modify the content of data records in a file. A series of components are supplied to ensure the validity of the updates to be performed.
For example, if you want to change the shipping date of a purchase order, you can use the calendar feature to ensure that only valid data is entered.
