Altamira Recruiting allows you to create different types of views using the designer. Using a single designer with a common user interface metaphor ensures that the steps and process that you learn to create one type of view is reusable when you create other types of views.

Relationship between tables in the data model

The data model determines how tables are connected together. This influences the way the tables can be used when designing views. These are the ways that tables can be related to each other:

• One to one relationship: There is one row of table A that is referred to in each row of table B and vice versa
• One to many relationship: There is one row of table A that is referred to by many rows of table B
• Many to one relationship: There are many rows of table A that refer to one row of table B
• Many to many: There are many rows of table A referred to by many rows of table B

When you create new view you must decide what table you wish to start from. This table determines what other data you can use in the designer for each type of view:

• Find: Support data in any relationship with the starting table
• Form: Support using data from tables in a one to one relationships and many to one relationship with the starting table
• Print: Support using data from tables in a one to one relationships and many to one relationship with the starting table but can use sub views (see Using sub views)
• Reports: Support data in any relationship with the starting table
