Object Designer is the development layer for structuring and functionalizing data objects (forms, fields, tables, relationships) in software applications. In i-frame, each system component is defined as an object and meaningful relationships can be established between these objects.
In traditional systems, data structures are defined in code; relationships are modeled manually, changes affect the overall software and may require redevelopment. Data fields, forms, tables are created in separate code blocks.
The Object Designer component makes it possible not only to design forms, but also to logically model, associate and sustainably manage enterprise data structures. i-frame’s Object Designer component offers an object-based structure with drag-and-drop support.
- All forms and data structures are designed visually.
- Objects can be reused and hierarchically related.
- Validations, data types and relationships are parametrically defined.
- The developer and the business unit can work together on the same data architecture.
| Feature | Traditional Methods | i-frame |
|---|---|---|
| Form Creation | Written manually with HTML+JS | Designed visually with drag-and-drop |
| Data Fields | Manually defined with code | 20+ ready field types, dynamic validations |
| Tables | SQL-based manual setup | Visual table design and data preview |
| Relationships | Defined in code, complexity increases | Updated at code level |
| Integration | Manual connection with external systems | Objects accessible via REST API |
Transparency in Object Oriented Architecture
Each component (form, table, field, relationship) is defined as a separate object.
20+ Data Field Type
Text, drop-down box, checkbox, file upload, dynamic list, numeric field, etc.
Creativity in Form Design
HTML elements are placed with drag-and-drop. Customization is possible with JavaScript/C#.
Table Management
Special tables suitable for data organization are created, grid structure is controlled via UI.
Relationship Definitions
One-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many and hierarchical connections are supported.
Record Based Authorization
Object specific access can be defined; data security is under control at each layer.
