This db contains reusable views (and code) for exposing a database's design.

As a reference*, it started with $Flags, but I realized many other design settings could be viewed from these views. (There are too many to list here, you'll just have to see for yourself.)

Also, since your design is now exposed as documents, it is more easily manipulated. Including writing to custom $Fields (See #2 and #4 below.).

For example, I have included various views here which allow you to (all code works on selected docs/elements):

1. Set / Clear the "Prohibit Design refresh..."
2. Set / Clear element level Inheritance ( or Backup if you need to temporarily disable)
3. Export and Import design elements between databases
4. Group designs and documents together as Design Packages
- There is a stand alone agent which can set regular documents to be included into your Design Package, for instance, config or lookup docs.
5. Read / Edit the $Comments
6. View
- All elements. This is the one to use if you want to see all the settings.
- by Design Package
- by Template Inheritance
- by Security (design elements which have Who Can Read or View settings)
- by Subforms used (by which forms)

* I have exposed most of the values and what they do in the "All Objects" view. There are, however, many that I have not yet sussed out. I'd love some help figuring out other $Field values / meanings. Leave them here or here (http://www.andrewbarker.com/home/htmDocs/Elemental) as comments and I'll add them into the next release.
