WOLF SaaS Designing Platform @ HeadStart Compute 2009...

Dear Friends,

We recently participated @ The Headstart Compute 2009 ... a Industry-StartUp collaboration event hosted by the HeadStart Foundation. HeadStart brought together all the stakeholders of the innovation ecosystem - entrepreneurs and startups, researchers from industry and academia, early adopters of new products like WOLF and investors with the oppurtunity to exchange ideas, discussions and share possibilities together.




We found the event to be a great success for us, the quality of people, ideas, conversations and connections we made with interesting Beta evaluators was phenomenal. Apart from the appreciation, you can see some interesting reviews/comments about us: WOLF have the potential to change the way computing is done, read more: http://www.deccanherald.com/Content/Jan142009/cyberspace20090113112337.asp ;

Using Categories in your Wolf Application

A useful feature in the Wolf Designer is the categorisation of the elements of your web application. By default, the "General" Category is available to the Wolf application designer. However, in addition to the "General" category you may create custom categories for grouping of related elements, logical seperation of different elements as well as for providing visual seperation of these elements in your end application.


Consider you are building an application for maintaining the data of a University. You would ideally define the following Entities:
- an Entity "Graduate Student" to hold the details of a graduate student
- an Entity "Post Graduate Student" to hold the details of a post graduate student
- an Entity "Professor" to hold the details of a professor
- an Entity "Other Staff" to hold the details about other staff in the college such as lab attendants, etc.
- additionally an Entity "Leave Details" may be used to store attendance details


Logically, we may assign these Entities and their related Navigation items to the following categories:
Category "Student": which will contain the Entities "Graduate Student" & "Post Graduate Student"
Category "Faculty": which will contain the Entities "Professor" & "Other Staff"
The Entity "Leave Details" may optionally be assigned to a custom Category or to the "General" category.


Lets take a look at how you can create Categories for your Wolf application.
To create a new Category, right click on the Application name --> Select "New" --> "New Category".

Assign an appropriate name to the new Category (Example- Student) and Publish your changes to start using this Category in your application.

Once you have created the Categories you can start assigning the Entities and their related Navigation Items to their appropriate Category.


Tip - Create a Category "Reports" and assign all the Navigation Menus linked to your application's reports to the "Reports" Category.

After configuring the security and access, the run enviroment of the application will appear as shown below:

An important point to remember is that the Category "Dashboard" is assigned to a Navigation item as a rule while creating Dashboard Items. More on this in a later post.
