Organising your Business Objects

This Design tool as part of the Diamonds Studio environment allows you to organise the underlying information and data that is essential to your application. The structures can be viewed from a Business Object or Data Scheme perspective, depending on your own preference.

Both views in this designer environment allow organisations to describe the information in the business by grouping the relevant objects and their properties in an easily digestible format, along with establishing and describing the relationships that exist between those objects.

A view of the Object Extensions in the Object Folder List supports quick access to the additional elements and packages associated to each Business Object. These extensions include Object Components, such as any associated Business Objects, Business Processes, Forms, and Reports along with any Integration packs and Object Methods that also may be available.

Diamonds Studio offers a database scanning tool that can simply be pointed at your chosen Oracle database, from where your database tables can be selected for scanning into the Diamonds Meta-data repository. Once the scanning is completed these table objects will be available in the Design Environment, ready for you to inspect and add context to in relation to your planned or running application.

For the more technical user, it is possible to create and modify object columns and attributes, along with options to maintain your object relationships, constraints and indexes allowing full maintenance of your data.

Once the underlying foundation of your application has been described in this environment, you are ready to utilise the other tools within the Diamonds Studio toolset in order to design your workflows, linking them to your Business Objects and to auto-generate your screens - starting the process of constructing your applications User Interface.
