APPX Source Code Control System

This page describes the Source Code Control System feature of APPX Application Design.

Suites

Suite ID

Each Suite is uniquely identified by a 10-character Suite ID.

Suite Description

Each suite has a 30-character description.

Design Access

Design access controls what level of access is allowed for the applications within a suite.  Design access must be specified for each suite and is inherited by each application in the suite in the event that design access is not specified for the application or the application's version.  The following design access levels are allowed:

• NO ACCESS - Does not allow design objects to be viewed or edited.
• VIEW ONLY - Allows design objects to be viewed but not edited.
• NOT TRACKED - Allows design objects to be viewed and edited.
• TRACKED - Requires that a Project/Job/Task be identified before a design object can be viewed or edited.

Default Scope

Each Suite must include a default scope specification indicating that all processes are to be automatically included or excluded.

Scope records defined at the suite level cannot be overridden by project scope records.  In other words, a project manager cannot define a project that is outside of the scope defined for the suite.

The scope default values in the suite record define the equivalent of a default scope record.  They are not values that are inherited by individual scope records when the fields are null (The fields should not be null in individual scope records.)

Versions

A Suite may have one or more Versions.  For example, a suite may have a Production version, a Development version, and a Test version.  Versions are identified by a two-character code.

Applications

Each Version of a Suite may have one or more Applications.  The same Application may exist in more than one Version.

Bugs:

1. Suite Version count is not correct when two suites have been entered.
2. Suite Scope count should display "None" when no scope records have been entered.
3. Suite maintenance needs optional child to go to Versions.
4. Version maintenance needs optional child to go to Applications.
