Details

In an ideal world we would create the perfect view when we create a new database, then use this layout as the basis for new views. However, we're not dealing with a perfect world, we're dealing with databases that still have the R4 look. Or we inherit the work of a developer with no design skills whatsoever. Or we changed our minds on how the ideal view should look like. Or the company colors change. Or...

Now, in a not so ideal world, wouldn't it be nice if we can configure the design of the perfect view for a database in a configuration document, then run an agent et voilą, every view in the database looks the same? And tomorrow, another developer arrives, makes views in it that don't look that way, so we run our agent agent and everything looks fine once again?

This is the purpose of "Viewnify": manage all design aspects of all views in an unified way by using configuration documents. There may even be created fancy templates that can be distributed in the future.

Project News
01/03/2008 - [Warning for the 7.0 to 7.02 users out there: upgrade to 7.03! An explanation on the "why" can be found here: http://www.bizzybee.be/2008/01/03/viewnify-and-notes-70-701-702-please-upgrade-to-703/ (Viewnify)</a>]
11/21/2007 - A note about the [import feature: not all design properties are imported, because some features are too specific to just import and spread them over all views of a database. An example: "Extend last column to (Viewnify)</a>]
09/03/2007 - The Next Big Thing I want to add in the application is an "import" function: this will make it possible to import the design from an existing view, so you don't have to lookup and fill out all values manually. So stay tuned! (Viewnify)
