Running the Personnel Demo

Click here to run the Personnel Demo Application remote on the www.websydian.com web site.

The entry page in the Demo application lists the first 12 records from the Employee table sorted by Employee code.  From this page and all other overview pages it is possible to jump to other overview pages:

• List Employees sorted by Employee code.
• List Employees sorted by Employee name.
• List Departments sorted by Department code.

From each of these pages, it is possible to add new records to the database, and change or delete records.

The change/create pages are not very different from change/create panels in a 'normal' AllFusion Plex client/server application.

When erroneous values are entered, a page with error messages will be generated.  A normal AllFusion Plex application would have presented a dialog box with error messages.   Go back to the previous page with the Web Browser's Back button to correct the erroneous values.

The Change and Create pages for employees have a 'Select' push button.  When this button is pushed, a new browser window is opened, and a list of departments in the database is displayed.  From here a department can be selected, and the department code and department name will be transferred back to the original change/create page.

Looking at the AllFusion Plex Model

As a developer, you can use the demo application in several ways:

• You can open the local AllFusion Plex model of the Personnel Demo application and study the functions and triples that comprise the web application.
• You can generate and build the objects in the model, install them on a web server and get the Demo Application up and running with the default layout and behaviour.
• And you can run the Document Template Generator functions of the application in order to overwrite the delivered template HTML pages, edit them with a web authoring tool and design your own look-&-feel of the Personnel application
