Data Structure Components

The data structure is composed of:

Data Definition (DD):

Data definition describes how data is entered and stored. The definition consists of the Data Type, Data Size, and Input method. Data Definitions govern the behavior of Data Elements.

Data Element (DE):

Data Elements is the field that the users see on the forms in Unifier, such as a text box or menu. The behavior of a Data Element is governed by the Data Definition on which it is built.

Status:

A status indicates the condition or state of a record, line item, or asset. Every record, line item, and asset must have a status indication at every step.

Dynamic Data Sets:

Dynamic Data Sets are a way of narrowing the number of possible choices a user can make. Narrowing the choices makes entering data faster and more efficient for users. Dynamic Data Sets dictate how fields behave when the user has multiple-choice options.

Tags:

Tags work with linked elements to connect Schedule Sheet Activities with Business Processes, Shells, and Configurable Manager. Tags allow a one-to-many relationship between a Data Element on the master Schedule Sheet and multiple Data Elements on a form.
