Therefore by nature it is very generic. It is built on the assumption that most data management applications have many common aspects such as: text/html 2022-09-13T18:15:12+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.awareim.com/dokuwiki/docs/2000_concepts/0200_basics?rev=1663092912&do=diff Basic Concepts text/html 2025-06-12T02:33:34+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.awareim.com/dokuwiki/docs/2000_concepts/0300_ui?rev=1749695614&do=diff User Interface We can now explain in greater detail how the generic aspects of a data management application are implemented in AwareIM. We will start with the User Interface. Applications configured by AwareIM have HTML-based user interface that can be viewed by any web browser such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Firefox.

The data in AwareIM is encapsulated in business objects (see Business Objects as Carriers of Data) and so AwareIM needs to store instances of business objects. In AwareIM most business objects are stored in a database. Database management systems (DBMS) are complex software and development of applications using traditional methods requires a lot of effort dedicated to the implementation of database-related issues, such as a tho… text/html 2025-06-12T02:33:34+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.awareim.com/dokuwiki/docs/2000_concepts/0600_data_retrieval?rev=1749695614&do=diff data data_retrieval concepts Data Retrieval Retrieval of data in AwareIM is achieved by means of a data query (or simply a query).

It is expressed in the form of business rules rather than in a more traditional programming or scripting language. Implementation of this business logic is based on the fact that business rules get evaluated and their actions are executed as soon as the rule conditions are met. text/html 2025-06-12T02:33:34+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.awareim.com/dokuwiki/docs/2000_concepts/0900_prod_feats?rev=1749695614&do=diff Productivity Features In the previous sections we described in detail how AwareIM implements the generic aspects of a data management application, such as data entry and editing, data storage, data retrieval, data processing and the user interface (see text/html 2022-09-13T18:15:12+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.awareim.com/dokuwiki/docs/2000_concepts/1000_config_proc?rev=1663092912&do=diff Configuration Process In the previous sections we have frequently mentioned configuration of different elements of an application such as business objects, business rules, processes etc. The following section provides an overview of the configuration process while the details are provided in the
