If a user returns to edit the system after some time, it is challenging to remember all the details and dependencies. It can easily happen that deleting, for example, one form (which no one remembers the purpose of) fundamentally disrupts the functioning of the entire system.
Systembaker includes a useful add-on that simplifies and clarifies subsequent modifications to the system.
Systembaker Detective - Monitoring Links and Dependencies
- Therefore, Systembaker includes automated monitoring of dependencies between individual parts of the system.
- Specifically, for tables with data, forms, screens, and processes, it lists all the places where a particular item is used.
- The user thus gets an instant overview of where the change will take effect.
- For example, the user wants to delete a form they believe is no longer needed. Thanks to automated dependency monitoring, they find that the form is used on the system's home screen, and without submitting it, users cannot proceed further in using the system.
