New Views in the Data Diagrammer
The Data Dictionary holds a wealth of metadata, and its this metadata combined with the Templates that drives the code generation for most Clarion applications. The Data Dictionary is the starting point for development and it stores the Database Schema; your core Business Logic including constraints and validation rules, default User Interface controls, and a host of other information. Getting a good overview of the complex relationships between tables can be a daunting task in any Dictionary and especially in large Dictionaries -- that's why we developed the Data Diagrammer. The Diagrammer provides a very nice graphical representation of the entities defined in your Dictionary. But drilling down into the finer details can still be time consuming, and yet it can be critical to the development and maintenance of your application. Enter the new 'Reports View' module.
The new Reports View module provides an instant "drill-down view" of some of the most interesting details of your Dictionary metabase. There are views for Fields, Keys, Tables, Relations and Triggers. Each of the different views provide for multi-column sorting, so that you can sort to any order desired to quickly identify characteristics of your Dictionary.
Here are some images of the new views, they should give you a good idea on what you'll be able to do. We are looking for input from the community on anything else you'd like to see added. After you've had time to provide further requirements we'll refine the new views and then add the functionality for printed Reports.
