Multi-Instance UDT Editor iPart

iMIS web views (casual and full) only allow editing of single-instance (SI) user defined tables (UDTs). This can be a big limitation for Casual users who may not have access to desktop iMIS. Without the ability to edit multi-instance (MI) user defined tables, an organization may not be able to use the features of iMIS effectively. We have found many of our clients are relunctant to move to iMIS 15 web views without the ability to access and edit all areas of data about a record.

We developed a solution to allow this capability, leveraging as much of standard iMIS as possible and imitating iMIS where we must. We considered the possible configurations a client may require and created iParts with both basic and advanced editing capabilities. Because they are iParts, iCreate Advanced or WCM is required to install and use these enhanced features.

To allow a user to perform the same functions on the web as from the desktop, we created the Multi-Instance UDT Editor. It consists of several iParts which can be combined in a variety of ways to allow access, organize information, and improve workflow. The configuration of these iParts are themselves stored in a multi-instance demographic table, as well as Gen_Tables and the System Setup area of iMIS.
