Aware IM Tutorials

Getting Started

This video tutorial is a brief introduction to the application development cycle in Aware IM. It shows how to design, test, make changes and deploy Aware IM applications. It also shows how to use sample applications supplied with Aware IM.

Creating Applications

This video tutorial walks through the steps of designing an Aware IM application. It covers topics such as business objects and their attributes, business rules, business processes, user login and access control, reports and document templates, outgoing emails and visual perspectives.

Relationships

This video tutorial explains how Aware IM handles relationships between business objects. It explains how to create relationships, types of relationships (one-to-many, many-to-many etc), matching attributes and parent/child relationships

Forms

This video tutorial describes how Aware IM works with business object forms. It explains how default forms are created, how to customise forms, how to create different type of form cells (attributes, HTML, Google Map etc).

Business Rules

This video tutorial covers the concept of Aware IM business rules. It explains how business rules implement business logic of an application, how to create business rules, when they are executed and what they consist of.

Processes

This video tutorial explains the concept of Aware IM processes. It explains why processes are necessary, the difference between processes and business rules, as well as when and how to create procesess.

Queries

This video tutorial explains the concept of Aware IM queries. It shows how to specify conditions for queries to retrieve particular information from the system as well as how queries present the retrieved data in the form of a grid of records.

Visual Perspectives

This video tutorial describes how Aware IM works with screen layouts (called visual perspectives). It explains how to create screen layouts, how to use them in an application and how to customise them.

Access Control

This video tutorial explains how to implement data access control in Aware IM. It explains the concept of Aware IM access levels to implement static access restrictions and also explains how to define protection rules to implement access restrictions based on particular conditions.

Documents

This video tutorial explains how Aware IM works with documents. It describes how Aware IM performs 'mail merge' of different document types (MS Word, Excel, HTML etc). It also explains how Aware IM stores documents in the system

Emails

This video tutorial describes how to get Aware IM to send e-mails in your application.

Calendar and Scheduler

This video tutorial explains how to get Aware IM to display a calendar where the users can define their events and tasks. It also shows how to get Aware IM to display a scheduler where users can schedule events for a particular list of resources.

Trees

This video tutorial explains how to configure trees in Aware IM

Charts

This video tutorial explains how to configure charts in Aware IM

Mobile Applications

This video tutorial explains how to configure applications for mobile devices in Aware IM. It walks through steps required to create such an application
