Self-DESCRIBING BUSINESS OBJECTS

Structured data is the foundation of all business software. Business software is all about managing data. Searching, showing, editing, printing, deleting etc. 

Consider a system for a bank. Consider its feature to search for a specific transaction by amount, date or payee account reference. 

Also consider a an airline system. Consider its feature to search for a passenger by flight, date, name or passport reference. 

Two different search features. One for a financial transaction and one for a passenger. The difference is not in the method of searching. The only difference is in the data.

This is a key concept of CaseMaster®:

All systems have the same basic features. But they all operate on different data.

In CaseMaster® we offer a large library of modules. Proven and tested. These modules allow you to do useful things with data. Search, list, edit, delete, copy, etc.

We also allow you to describe your data. We call this Self-Describing Business Objects. 

And finally we offer you glue. To link the standard modules to your unique business objects.

Interaction between a self describing business object and a pageflow action.
