  • 1.  Best Practices for Documenting Foundation/Composer Standards?

    Posted 09-21-2020 13:21
    Does anyone have any experience in documenting standards/rules for their Winshuttle scripts/Composer forms in Foundation 11+? We are currently on Foundation 12.1, but I'm seeking input from anyone who has experience on Winshuttle Foundation.

    We have a lot of "word of mouth" type standards established when it comes to how we operate in Foundation - looking to document some of it, but so far the only thing coming to mind is some type of word document placed in a SharePoint library. Wondering if anyone has any alternative ideas or found anything else that works?

    Things we're looking to document:
    - Naming convention for Winshuttle scripts and associated templates
    - Naming convention for Composer rules, buttons, fields, JavaScript functions, Web Services, etc.
    - Standard approval process for submitting new Transaction/Query scripts to Foundation

    Looking forward to any feedback that people may have - feel free to share any experience you may have had related to documenting your Foundation processes.

    I've been using a OneNote that I share on a Sharepoint site that our developers have access to; sections for Composer with various pages within (including a page for naming conventions, a page to track known issues, how to pages, etc), a section for Studio (and related pages), etc.

    Hi Ken

    Please continue to reach out to customers.   You might also find some tips looking through prior WUG presentations, located here: https://wug.winshuttle.com/presentations/ 

    In the documentation, there are some high level best practices
    Studio: https://docs.winshuttle.com/studio-en-20-0-online-help-studio-with-evolve-studio-manager/studio-best-practices.htm
    Foundation:  http://winshuttle-help.s3.amazonaws.com/test/foundation-beta/composer/solution-development-best-practice-support-maintain-solution.htm 

    Hope some of these ideas help.

    Best Regards,
    Sigrid
