Database Maintenance
A description of the database system for depo was given previously, here only discussion of the management of the database will be given via the groups private website.
Both the administrative and group functions allow manipulation of the database and are only accessible through the private group area. On selecting administration a list of all structures currently in the database is generated. Below this list is a manual data entry form allowing data to be added manually without submitting a structure via depo.
From the automatically generated list each structure can be viewed/updated or deleted. On clicking on a structure code the data is called up for viewing or editing.
These functions are mirrored in the group feature however, without the ability to delete an entry from the database. Access to the data is done by supervisor code from a drop down menu.
