System Architecture
Overview
SmartSimple is designed to be a highly-configurable platform to streamline business needs. We offer easily adaptable interface choices, data modelling, configurable applications, and reporting. The key features of the system are its use of a Model View Controller (MVC) design architecture combined with a dynamic data model that includes unique custom field types, with over 50 field types currently implemented.
Interfaces: There are two main types available within SmartSimple.
- An administrator's interface for System Administrators.
- A simplified icon- or text-driven portal interface for normal users.
- Depending on the roles assigned to different users, each user's interface functionality will vary - for example, users will their menu visibility and access to certain records.
Data Model - The base data model consists of many standard entities, but all entities are extendable.
- See Entity and Instance for more.
Applications - Built-in on-demand applications and custom applications can be created. These applications utilize the data from entities.
Reporting - An extensive reporting sub-system is a standard component of SmartSimple.
