Quick Elementer
Updated version of Quick Elementer is now available.
Quick Elementer is a document based design element implementer. It is very much like the group objects in Teamstudio's Design Manager (formally Teamstudio Librarian). Elementer will perform the task of coping and pasting design elements form one database to another. I created this because I am a big believer in code reuse using templates and got tired of copying and pasting!
Some of my modules (groups of design elements that work together to perform a function) required more than just a script library or a view. Some required 2 script libraries, 3 views, a form and an agent. With my forgetfulness I would spend wasted time trying to figure out why my module would not work that wored in other applications.
The Quick Elementer form
A Quick Elementer allows the selecting of multiple design elements based on what is in the database. The inherit design field will set the design element's 'Master Template' field to the master template name of the current database. You can sort the design elements base on the type of design or the design element name. The 'Copy Elementer to Database' will prompt for a destination database and copy the design elements.
The Quick Elementer view
The view lists the design elements that are apart of the module and if the future design changes will be inherited. The 'Copy Elementer to Database' will prompt for a destination database and copy the design elements.
Copy Elementer to Database
When all the design elements have been copied to the destination database Elementer will ask if the destination database should be opened.
