FAQ 1069

Q:

What are addedValue Entities?

A:

In a Manila website there are 3 collections of like objects

  • the discussion group contains a sequence of messages, distinguished by their msgnum
  • the membership group contains a set of member records, distinguished by their member key (typically an email address)
  • the GEMs, a sequence of uploaded files, distinguished by the gem number
In addition addedValues allows web developers to define their own glossaries - a set of short cuts with properties; user transactions, audit tables and more. Any item from these collections is an addedValues Entity, they are the atomic items that you work with.
