Data Dictionary |
The data dictionary is
a valuable tool to allow system administrators to add simple customizations to an
application without the need for the source code. Via the Data Dictionary, a system
administrator can add new user defined fields and modify existing ones to comply
with the business� needs.
The data dictionary also provides options for customization of the text elements
that appears in the user interfaces allowing system administrators to change form
labels to more accurately reflect the terminology of their business. This can be
used, for example to change the label "Sales Rep" to "Salesperson" through the application.
For additional security, security levels can be assigned "per field". This can be
used to restrict users from viewing fields that they do not have access for - i.e.
product cost.*
When time comes,
and there will be a need for a major upgrade or modifications to the database or
shifting into a new technology, the data dictionary will save developers an enormous
effort in specifying the detailed requirements of the new system for Interprise
Suite.
