So, your design is like this (correct me if I am wrong): Business objects: Company -- CompanyProject -- Project Attributes: Company.Projects (multiple) -- matching to -- CompanyProject.Company (single) Project.Companies (multiple) -- matching to -- CompanyProject.Project (single) If this is correct,...

Denis, Based on your requirements I would suggest you to consider a design that in addition to objects Client and Product has an intermediary object called, say, ProductAction. This new object would have attribute Status to register the nature of the action (i.e. 'Interested', 'Not Interested', 'Pur...

All you need to do is to add some shortcut attributes to Inspection object that point to Project attributes. This way the project details will appear to be a part of Inspection object and can be used in query results and other parts of the system as if they were actual Inspection attributes. For exa...

Not at the moment. With Aware IM Developer Edition you can specify the name of your application and your own copyright message that will be displayed in the About box. This is useful when distributing your applications to your customers for installation on their computers. However, the 'Powered By A...

Denis, Almost certainly this can be easily done. Before I can give you the details though, could you please describe a more specific example to ensure I understand your task correctly? For example, what do you want to happen when you add a Product with attributes Name 'ABC', Code '123' and Category ...

All our users I know of to use Derby are small companies. My rough estimate is that they may have several tens of thousands of records in a single table and a few concurrent users (probably less than 5). We did not get reports of any database or multi-user related issues. In our own tests we success...

Derby is a very capable database and should be sufficient for most small business applications. There may be a number of considerations that can affect the decision on which database to choose. Organizations with existing IT infrastructure that already have MySQL or MS SQL Server running may prefer ...

Yes, you are right. You do need a separate business object to represent a relationship between two objects that, in addition to linking the objects, also has to capture some additional information. In your case it would be the role of the company on the project and the company representative. Anothe...

Richard, If you want the ID to be unique across records of a particular object, you can add a rule like the one below to the object. For example, if the object is called Account and the ID attribute is called AccountID, the rule would look like this: If Account IS NEW Then Account.AccountID = MAX Ac...

> Can you select information from complete independant objects in the same report?

Yes. You can configure a report containing sub-reports. Each sub-report will have a separate query that can search for objects not related to objects in the main report or other sub-reports.

Jolee, The contents of a document template for your document may look something like this: IPU Name: <<IPU.Name>> Device Name: <<IPU.IPU_D.Name>> License: <<IPU.Lic.version>> Client Name: <<IPU.Property.System.Client.Name>> PropertyName: <<IPU.Property.Name>> System Name: <<IPU.Property.System.Name>...

Jolee, Generally, if an object is logically related to other objects it is a good idea to have attributes on the object that represent these relationships. Usually, but not necessarily, such attributes should have matching attributes on the related objects so the relationship can be traversed from e...

Aware IM Help in the Configuration Tool and the User Guide document (located in 'docs' directory under the AwareIM installation directory) have plenty of information on configuring and running queries.

Jolee, You can take advantage of Aware IM feature known as 'matching attribute' to establish visibility from Lic all the way back to Client. For example, you can add attribute Client of type Client to object R_System that will be a matching attribute of attribute System on object Client. The matchin...

Try splitting this into two elements positioned next to each other. The first should be a Text element containing 'Total amount:'. The second should be a Tag element containing 'SUM PurchaseOrder.TotalCost,$#,##0.00' (without the angle brackets).
