For even a moderately sized application the complete navigation graph quickly
becomes difficult to use.
It would be extremely useful to be able to right-click an object and select something
like “Show navigation from here” and/or “Show navigation to here”, perhaps with an option for one level, two levels or all.



The designer is very useful in a small application, but once there are a lot of views and navigation paths, showing everything at once becomes overwhelming.
Is anything like this planned? ]]> Chris Spencer https://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/showthread.php?73640-Navigation-Designer Claude or ??? https://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/showthread.php?73622-Claude-or&goto=newpost Tue, 29 Sep 2026 17:57:58 GMT Hi Everyone, I have inherrited a fairly large DF 19.1 application that I will eventually be responsible for maintaining, updating and ongoing... Hi Everyone,

I have inherrited a fairly large DF 19.1 application that I will eventually be responsible for maintaining, updating and ongoing development. There is not much internal documentation about the database structure or the application design or data flow etc.

I do have human assistence in the form of the previous developers but I'd like to have some kind of resource that I can query to ask things like "what does this view do?" or "which view is used to manage the inventory?" or questions like that (but more subtle ot sophisticated probably).

I'm thinking that this is a job for AI

Any of you out there have any advice on which AI system to use, how to train it to know about this application, or any advice really to get started with that. It would be good if the agent also understands DataFlex of course....

I don't feel comfortable with the process, and I don't want to create a mess in the official env.

and if yes, a how-to guide would be very welcome.

I remember something from the FlexRoads trainning, that we configured studio to a diff env, but we don't have the slides and the procedure used as a reference.
and not sure if that env was setup just for the training or not..

anyway... a test env would be very welcome in my opinion to make user more confortable with the process.. ]]> Samuel Pizarro https://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/showthread.php?73606-Package-Manager-Playground-Test-Area <![CDATA[DF 26 - Pkg Mgr - Allow select & copy text]]> https://support.dataaccess.com/Forums/showthread.php?73600-DF-26-Pkg-Mgr-Allow-select-amp-copy-text&goto=newpost Mon, 21 Sep 2026 23:52:53 GMT 3rd party packages, will place urls at description tab, and at the right-side deck, to instruct developers to the main documentation, or how to use... 3rd party packages, will place urls at description tab, and at the right-side deck, to instruct developers to the main documentation, or how to use their packages.


We can't select & copy such urls today.

Even better, if the description supports markdown, so we could add real and clickable links out there.

This is the case for the WEBAPIS package from Kruse-Net publisher for example.

Has DAW created any guide or how to approach in this sense to instruct us (the community) on best way to start creating public server packages ?

What would be the best approach ?

Create 2 independent packages ? I think mingling the sample inside the main package seems messy, as it won't be used at long term and it will definitely not be needed in most of target workspaces..

Any naming convention ?

Or keep the sample ws outside of packages scope, like in a public github only ?
