Quick Elementer 2.0

Updated version of Quick Elementer is now available.

Quick Elementer can now copy documents and have dependancies on other Quick Elementers in addition to Quick Elementer 1.1 features- copy elements and inherit elements on the same document. Each component that can make up a Quick Elementer will be displayed on a tab.


The Quick Elementer form

Inherit design Tab

Each of the design elements in the inherit list will have the design element's 'Master Template' field set to the master template name of the current database after it is copied to the destination database. You can sort the design elements base on the type of design or the design element name for each of the lists. There is also an option to limit the available design elements by type.

Copy design Tab

The copy is very similar to the Inherit tab, but when copied to the destination database the 'Master Template' field will not be set. You can sort the design elements base on the type of design or the design element name for each of the lists. There is also an option to limit the available design elements by type.

Elementer Dependancy Tab

Dependancies will reduced the number of design elements that need to be selected for each Quick Elementer. When implementing a Quick Elementer all elementer dependancies will also be implemented. Use the 'Select Elementer Dependancy' option to select Quick Elementers form the Quick Elementer view.

Documnets Tab

Any document should be allowed to be copied not just Quick Elementers so the selecting of documents will be generic. The first step is to select the view that contains the document that needs to be copied. The second step is to select 'Select Documents'. Then Quick Elementer will prompt for which field should be used to describe the document. The view and the document unique ID will also be appended to the document description.

The Quick Elementer view

The view lists the design elements that are apart of the module following the following codes:

  • I - Inherit design
  • C- Copy design
  • E- Elementer dependancy
  • D- Documents

The 'Copy Elementer to Database' will prompt for a destination database and will implement the Quick Elementer as defined along with all dependancies.
