| Working with Prescient Author is as easy as A B C ... |
|
| | |
| A for Author ... |
|
First step is to model database in Prescient Author.
Here we define different master tables and master-detail tables.
Prescient Author then automatically creates,
 Forms
Reports
Menus
Login
Dashboards
Prescient author cleverly creates form controls based on the data types of fields in the tables.
We can always override the defaults, change the order, layout of forms, control visibility of fields etc.
The standard reports can be customized to add/remove certain fields, apply filters etc. In many cases defaults simply work!!

| B for Backend ... |
|
The second step is to connect to the database and create tables in the database.
To accomplish this, all we need to do is to define the database server.
Prescient Author works behind the scenes, connects to the database and creates all the tables in the database.
Thats not all, after this, we may add a few more tables or change existing tables in our model,
Prescient Author's smart "DB Synch" detects this shows us the difference and on accepting the changes transfers
the changes to the database. (Isn't that Cool !)

| | |
| | |
| C for Code ... |
|
The third step is to generate code.
Prescient Author creates a dot NET project for us wth all the auto generated code neatly
arranged. All that needs to be done is build and run the application.
We can always develop the system incrementally, by following these steps A-B-C over and over again.
