Master Application Scenario
If multiple developers are working on an application, they can develop portions of the application independently. Then they can use iiimport and iiexport to copy frames and other components into a master application as they are developed.
In this example, the master application is the "orders" application. The development team designs the overall structure of the application with the application flow diagram.
The application flow diagram for the "orders" application is shown in the following figure:
Now the developers are assigned to different pieces of the application. Developer A is assigned to modify "neworders," an Append frame called by the "orders" Menu frame.
Developer A makes the following changes to the application:
• Modifies the "neworders" frame
• Adds the called procedure "calctax"
• Adds the child frame "addbooks"
• Passes some parameters from neworders to changeinfo
• Passes parameters from neworders to "addbooks"
• Adds escape code to "changeinfo"
The application flow diagram in Developer A's version of the application looks like the one in the following figure:
