Subject:looking for a word... From:Becca Price <becca_price -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 22 Jan 2001 10:26:24 -0800 (PST)
You are all being so very helpful to me on my structure
problems, maybe you can help me find the right word...
We have an interface framework, from which you call various
mini-applications, each of which helps with some aspect of
managing, setting up, or designing your specific database
installation. In other situations, the mini-aps might be called
Tools, or Components, or some such. In our ap they're called
Objects, because apparently that's the technical term for them.
I've also heard them called Forms, but only internally.
Five of these are called from the Objects menu. The sixth one
is found under the Activities menu. There is a minor technical
and conceptual distinction between this one and the others, but
it looks and behaves just like all the others.
so, what would you call these thingies? components, tools,
mini-aps, forms, something else entirely? I need to address
some things that are common to all six of 'em.
There's no such thing as useless information, only information for which you haven't found a use yet.
