ATiM Project Outline

Customization Process

All forms (structures), fields, validation rules, and value domains are stored in the ATiM database. When you are making changes to your system we recommend you keep all changes in a local .SQL script file. This will allow you to easily re-generate your changes if something happens to your database while customizing. We encourage you to use our template file available here.

Analysis

• Map your data to existing ATiM fields where possible. Note any differences in the lookup values, validation rules, or appearance.
• Determine any new fields that must be added. In some cases entirely new form types may be required. For example, a custom lab report or screening event.

Implementation

• Begin to make your changes to ATiM forms saving all SQL updates to your customization script.
