Record Trees

Introduction

By defining properties on Record Typessuch as the allowed children, the record types are organised into a tree of record types. By enforcing those rules when creating records, the records are organised into a tree of records.

Record Trees

Our applications MediaHaven and DigiHaven each have their own trees

• Record Trees MediaHaven

• Record Trees DigiHaven

Use Cases provide some hypothetical record trees that could be configured.

Rules

• Examples of records with no parent are the records at the top of the tree such as the Series or Classification

• Because no loops are allowed within the tree

  • A record cannot be a parent or child of itself

  • A record cannot be adopted by one of its (grand)children or (grand)parents
