Out-of-the Box Modular Architecture
DIRIGO has an MVC architecture that is proven, modularized and support distributed scenarios (N-tier) out of the box.
The placement of every piece of custom functionality is clear. With DIRIGO, we can easily customize applications that run on both Windows and the Web with a common code base, which means less work to evolve and maintain it over time. Extensibility is guaranteed because DIRIGO is a highly customizable modularized framework.
As you can see in the following diagram, DIRIGO is built on a standard three tier architecture.
- ORM Layer (Entity Framework or XPO)
The ability to use object-based data handling, instead of direct interaction with databases, leads to a layer that provides mapping of objects into database tables (Object-Relational Mapping tool).
Business Class Library
The Framework comes with a Business Class Library - a set of business classes that will need most frequently. We can use these classes directly, modify our implementation or create your own replacements.
Application Specific Business Classes
These are the business classes that are written specifically for a given application. They can reuse the Business Class Library functionality or be implemented stand-alone.
Controller Library
Controllers are objects that manage your application's flow. They are also responsible for end-user interaction. These default Controllers are primarily responsible for data management. With their help, you can add new records, delete existing ones, perform a full text search, etc.
Application Specific Controllers - These are the Controllers that are written to provide a custom functionality in your application. They can reuse or modify Controllers from the Controller Library or be implemented stand-alone.
- Views / Reports
Views are the user interface representations of (potentially editable) data, while reports are representations for the purpose of reporting to screen, paper, web or export formats.
Application Model
The Application Model is a collection of information on which the automatic mechanisms in the DIRIGO Framework, including UI generation, are based. Sources of model data include metadata queried from business classes and Controllers, default information from standard or custom modules included in a given application, and configuration files on various levels. An important part of the development work for a DIRIGO application is to modify the Application Model specifying options and parameters for the automatic mechanisms.
WinForms / ASP.NET
Windows Forms and ASP.NET are the two user interface platforms that are currently supported.
Built-in Data Validation
DIRIGO provides an elegant solution to determine whether end-user data manipulations satisfy predefined rules. Predefined validation rules cover multiple use-case scenarios. For utmost flexibility, you can create custom rules to fit any business requirement. All of this extends productivity because you can leverage a single declarative approach which is abstracted from platform complexities.
Elegant Data Representation
With DIRIGO, we design your business model and then allow the application to handle all data management tasks. The User Interface provides a highly customizable navigation and menu system - you can set one option to switch from tree-based navigation to an Outlook style NavBar. The same goes for switching from a classic menu system to Outlook Ribbon or switching from SDI to a tabbed MDI. If you need a calendar, you simply check the scheduler.
Customize Print Reports at runtime
DIRIGO integrates the award-winning XtraReports Suite and allows end-users to create and share reports at runtime. This module allows you to save reports in your database and display it for end-users on all supported platforms with little or no effort. DIRIGO also includes a runtime designer which is fully integrated with the business model and allows end users to design custom reports and share them as needed. Generated reports can also be filtered based on security permissions.
And DIRIGO allows you to automatically export and print data displayed in the UI controls within your app - no need to write any unnecessary code.
Managing Business Processes
DIRIGO simplifies the use of the Workflow Foundation platform. A built-in module facilitates creation, execution and deployment of workflows. All you'll need to know are general concepts associated with workflow design. You can create workflow activities at both design and run time using a visual designer. A set of pre-built workflow activities for addressing mundane business tasks are available. A built-in State Machine module can be used for lightweight scenarios, like managing a business entity's status ("in progress", "completed", "paused", etc.). End-users have a rich set of options to create, share and customize state machines. The State Machine module allows you to easily manage a business object's status. A good example of a stateful object is a task - with the following states: not started, in progress, completed, paused, etc. Until a task is started, it cannot be completed. By using the State Machine module, you can define this logic by specifying valid state transitions. You can also specify appearance rules for different states so they will be applied when a state changes. The State Machine module automatically creates status change Actions and puts them into a Detail View.
Notifications and Alerts
Keep on top of everything, all the time. Need to know when an inventory level drops? Set up an alert and get notified immediately. Every system user can set up a series of notifications to provide them with the real time information of their choice, allowing users to keep up with the real-time speed of business.
Straightforward Security
DIRIGO includes standard role-based security that supports Active Directory authentication and permissions at the Type, Instance and Field level. These permissions can be configured via an easy-to-use UI at runtime or in code. End-users can create roles, users and permissions without any intervention.
It’s like having a security guard for every user. DIRIGO allows you to customize user access to critical information and functionality by roles and responsibilities. Easy to customize by user, our system ensures that your data and functionality are secured for use by only those critical to specific operations. The system also includes an audit trail for tracking purposes to make it easy to follow users throughout the system.
