How to Use the Diagrams
The diagrams are organized alphabetically by functional modules. The most practical way to find information about a particular area is to turn to the diagram for that area. Find the entity (table) that you are interested in and trace out the relationships.
Not all relationships are shown in any one diagram; if you are interested in the other relationships, use the cross-reference table to find the other diagrams the tables appear in
Entity Cross-Reference.
When creating a report or browse, use the entity relationship diagrams to decide which table names you should use (and the join relationships). If no relationship exists between two tables, a report showing such a relationship is not possible.
For Progress Results users, these diagrams indicate the relationships that you can show. Progress Results shows the names of tables that have relationships with a specified table. These diagrams show those tables in graphic form and show the subsidiary relationships between tables.
