Configuration of the Library Application

This section will show you how to configure the library application in Aware IM in a sequence of relatively simple and straightforward steps. These steps are described in detail in the Configuration Guidelines section. However, the steps and the order in which they need to be performed are so important that it is worth re-iterating them here:

1. Identify business elements of your system (business objects) and their interrelationships.
2. Identify business rules according to which these business objects behave. Do not worry about the user interface at this stage - let Aware IM generate the default user interface.
3. Identify scenarios of user interaction with the system. Configure main system processes and operations.
4. Test the core application.
5. Fine tune the application:
   1. Add access control
   2. Add documents and reports
   3. Improve system operations
   4. Improve the user interface
   5. customize forms and application visual appearance.
6. Test the final application.

We will cover all these steps in detail in the following sections.
