module

Andromeda organizes tables into modules. All tables must belong to a module and therefore all databases must define at least one module.

The default menu system is built on modules and tables. Each module becomes a menu pad at the top of the page, and the tables within it become the "dropdown" menu items.

module module_id:
   # Required
   description: string
   # Optional
   uisort: number
   nomenu: Y/N
   # Optional group security definitions:
   group group_id:
      #...module.group property/value assignments

Properties

module module_id. The first line of a module definition begins with the keyword 'module', a space, and then the unique module name (module_id) followed by a colon.

description. The friendly name. Will be used on the menu system.

uisort. Determines the sequence of this module on the menu.

nomenu. A Y/N flag to suppress this entire module from the menu.

A module definition can contain a nested module.grup definition which will assign security priveleges to a group for this module.
