Any application or project programmed on the Allegro Framework, including, for example, Subito.
Development platform for flexible cloud solutions of Allegro projects. It creates a unified user interface for all Allegro software modules. Applications are opened in the work area in tabs and have a standardized appearance and control. A number of settings are also built in to customize the work environment according to the user's preferences. Allegro Framework It is multilingual, not only at the level of the user interface, but also at the level of individual records taken in Allegro applications. Detailed description of Allegro Framework can be found in a separate manual, which also explains the capabilities of Allegro applications and how to work with them.
API
An application programming interface that serves to share data between applications in a standardized way. In principle, this is communication with third-party services, which can be one-way or two-way. In Allegro Framework, this involves, for example, retrieving information from the European VIES register based on the VAT number, marking the company's address on maps or communicating with banks, forwarding companies or e-shops.
Card
A work area tab into which applications open.
In Allegro Framework, this is the designation of a database entity assigned to a single customer or project. If the license allows, the user can access multiple clients and switch between them without having to log out and log in again.
Cloud
It is the sharing of services or applications stored on the provider's servers accessible from the Internet, which the customer (user) accesses remotely via a web browser or an email client and, in principle, from anywhere.. Cloud users typically do not pay for their own technology, i.e. for the purchase of hardware and software, but for its use. They pay only to the extent that they use the cloud technology. And unlike a traditional hard drive on a user's computer, the data is not physically stored on the device, but in the cloud.
Component
A user interface control such as a text box, combo box, check box, grid, and many others.
Filter
In the context of this manual, it is a grid column component that allows to specify selection criteria for populating grid rows according to the values of a given column (e.g. by initial letters of the name, from-to amounts, ...). Filters on multiple columns can be combined and the result is always the intersection of the corresponding evaluation of the selection conditions on all columns.
Focus
The state of the component that can receive commands from the keyboard. For example, if an application window has focus, it can be closed with the Esc key. If the focus has a text input, its value can be written into it. Simply put, the focus is where the cursor blinks in the application.
An application framework or development platform to support programming and facilitate the development of software projects. Contains libraries and functions to serve as a template for design patterns or development best practices. In addition, the Allegro Framework adds a unified user experience, unified control of Allegro applications and multilingualism.
Grid
An application component used to display a large amount of tabular data on the client side. It is a table composed of rows and columns and equipped with a header with captions of each column. In Allegro applications, the grid can be seen in lists, where it is supplemented with column filters line and is used to display existing records, or on forms, where filters are usually missing, but the individual cells of the table are editable.
Form component for entering input data (e.g. customer name, product description, invoice date, ...).
Mask
Semi-transparent overlay of all or part of the work area preventing interaction with all elements of the overlaid area. The mask is necessary, for example, when opening a modal window or in cases where it is necessary to prevent the user from accessing other parts of Allegro Framework and to force him to wait for some action or operation to complete.
Menu
In Allegro Framework it is a list of applications to launch.
Modal window
It is a window that blocks access to other parts of the Allegro Framework until it is closed. These windows are used in applications to display some information or process that the user must confirm or complete in order to continue. Basically, it is any element that is displayed in the foreground and disables (masks) other parts of the application or work area until the user services or closes the element. A typical example is a child form opened over a parent application or a dialogue box that the user must respond to by pressing Yes or No.
Translations of form data (dynamic texts). This is ensured by a unique component enabling the insertion of multilingual data directly into individual records taken by the application (e.g. product name and description in different languages). The default language is English, which is always used if no translation in the required language is available. For more information, see the separate manual for Allegro Framework - chapter Multilingualism.
Translation of the workspace and individual applications (static texts). There are currently four supported user interface languages - Czech, English, Flemish and French. Both the Allegro Framework and Subito user interface is completely translated into these languages. The language of the user interface is derived from the language of the data level (according to the user's preferences) and if no match is found (e.g. the language of the data level is German), English translations are used.
The entity using the Subito application for invoicing customers.
Source code
Designation of the notation of a computer program or part of it in some programming language, in the case of Allegro Framework in C# and JavaScript. It defines the fixed functionality and behaviour of applications, which can be changed or extended only by implementing a new version of the source code.
A short description or hint related to a particular user interface element. It is displayed after hovering the mouse over this element.
User
A natural person with a valid access authorization (username and password) allowing to work with applications in the Allegro Framework environment after logging in.
