Notes:
- Ideas for the “flex grid tie-in” – 10 x 10 (x 10)
- The word “flex grid” means that it is a dynamic user-maintained additional link and/or relationship. “Flex” is the 1-many part, “Grid” is the organized part. Basically, it is a multi-tie-in from any item to any other item(s) or as a standalone 1-many from a single main item.
- The 10 x 10 part deals with two different things. The first 10 deals with the Major players in the adilas system.
1. Deposits
2. Invoices
3. PO’s or Purchas Orders
4. Expense/Receipts
5. Balance Sheet Items
6. Stock Units
7. Part Id or Parts
8. Customer
9. Vendor
10. Employee/User
- Maybe it should be a 10 x 10 x 10 grid or cube
- The next 10 deals with possible fields to hold extra data and values. In the background we will keep the field names very basic. We will also allow the corporations to create their own naming conventions for the field names or titles. Basically, each of the 10 major players will have 10 custom fields to hold data in. Of those 10 data fields, they can each be named something completely different. All in all, we are allowing 100 custom fields, 10 per each main player, each with a custom name.
- Each record will also have notes, a date, an amount, history fields and flags, date/time stamp, who created it, and a tie-in to the main. A couple of other options might be status, show/hide, admin only, printable/non-printable, etc. Also what type of relationship is it and location.
- Along with the flex grid itself, I really want all of the other links and relationships to show up when a single item is selected. Basically, who is my brother, sister, parent, child, and who am I holding hands with. This is like duct-tape and bailing twine for all of the application pieces.
