Section 7: Developer Access (cont'd)

Section 7.4: Developer Access, Core.fp5


Core.fp5 (a.k.a. Core, Core module, Core file) - Core.fp5 is a single record file, whose purpose is storing global data for the Calendar Solution. It is a controlled environment in which preferences for all modules may be set and stored. Numerous scripts and calculations in various files in the solution access data in the Core module from time to time.

Fields - All fields in the Core file are developer fields; there are no user fields in this file. In addition, the Core file is used for more than just the Calendar Solution; there is a good deal of functionality in the Core file that is not necessarily relevant to the Calendar Solution. For these reasons, a full description of the purpose of every component of this file is not provided in this manual.

The developer should take the time to look at the scripts, layouts and fields in all of the files to which he has access, familiarizing himself with the programming and determining the intent behind the programming. Scripts are well commented, when needed, and all programming is well-organized for the benefit of developers who employ this solution.

Those fields which are integral to the solution, or whose components or usage may be complex for the moderately experienced developer, will be described in detail in this manual. For more information on developer fields and naming conventions, see the
Preface for Section 7.

Relationships - Each file in the solution (with the exception of the Core file itself) has a constant relationship to the Core module. These relationships are many-to-one relationships, all-to-one, in fact, meaning that every record in every file in the solution has access to the data in the Core file. Each of these relationships has the same name, which is
core~one.

Value Lists - There are a number of generic value lists in the Core file, but none are accessed from any of the Calendar Solution modules.

Navigation - There are no navigation scripts in Core.fp5 that are relevant to the Calendar Solution.
