Day 16

A Few Issues

So I went back to IT today. They were able to upload my database to the server but we ran into a few problems.

1. If I want to view or edit the database I can't be on the Lovett network since the firewall blocks student access to the server. It works fine on any other wifi though. Mr. Hamrick says he should grant students the ability to access it by Friday.
2. The server Lovett has is running FileMaker Server 12. The IOS app only works with Server 13 and 14. The school has plans to update over the summer so the IOS app component cannot be integrated until next year.
3. I am rapidly running out of time.

In good news. The functionality behind the database is there. I built a data entry. I need to build the record viewer and corresponding Iphone and Ipad versions of each sheet.

The database is broken down into New Inventory Record, View Inventory Records, New Student Record, View Student Records, New Checkout, View current checkouts, View all checkouts.

I have built most of those pages for PC, now I have to do it for Iphone and for Ipad. It should be a lot of copy and paste but it will just take a lot of time. I will sit down over the weekend and hammer it out. I have to be done with the database by Sunday.
