31 building blocks for everything that has to do with databases: making them operable, using them as Make the picture understandable, calculate from it, manage it and draw connections.

The five types are

Type	What for	Examples
Operable stocks	structured quantities to work with	Table, tree, grid, task board
Image instead of number column	when a course, a proportion or a comparison is understood as an image more quickly	Line, bar, area, pie chart
Calculation	if a result is obtained from inputs and the calculation rule belongs to it	Computer, calculation module
Manage	when an inventory is created, searched, modified and deleted	Management Area
** Draw relationships **	if not numbers, but relationships are displayed	Flow, relationship, time diagram

An operable stock: sorting via the column headers, filtering via the search field, as a CSV — without having to request anything specifically.

Same numbers as image. The display form can be toggled at the bottom without the Area.

Where the data come from

A data building block is filled in three ways, and it's worth knowing the difference:

1. Directly stored — the values belong to the area itself. Good for the fixed.
2. From another building block — an inherited file fills the table, a selection in of the table fills the chart next to it. This is the rule for multi-part surfaces.
3. From a source — file, interface, mailbox.

In the module directory, each module contains what it accepts and what he passes on. This results in which ones can be meaningfully linked.

Where your data stays

What you put in an area remains on your computer. The platform does not provide a service to which data would be transferred. Where an area reaches out — a search, a Interface, a translation service — this is the task of this area and named.

Calculation with stored rule

Computing modules execute a stored rule. They do this in a shielded Limited language environment — no access to files, no reloading of any Components. See Security for details.

What is honestly open here

• Charts are designed for manageable quantities. For very large stocks, this is Drawing is noticeable because the values are fully processed.
• Drawing contexts creates fixed images — they can be viewed, but do not reshape by dragging the nodes.
• There is no own query language across several modules. It is linked via Transfer from one module to the next, not via a query.
