How to use this training material?
The learning objective of this Foundational Training course is to instill confidence among System Builders with reference to Rapid Platform operations.
This course is structured across several sections.
-
Customising an Existing Table - In this section we will examine how to customise and extend a table that is packaged with Rapid Standard's Assets module. Here, we will explore how new columns can be built into tables, as well as how to enter data into these columns.
-
Creating New Tables and Subtype Tables - How to build new tables and table subtypes, and how to implement large changes to a Rapid module.
-
A Challenge - The training material will conclude with a challenge that will test everything you have learned.
Across these modules, you will also find smaller challeneges which are based on the knowledge acquired in the lessons prior to it.
We have provided a test environment for you to carry out these tasks and actually get a feel of how system elements are built in Rapid Platform.

Scenario
Imagine you are the system builder for a manufacturing company called Stationary Inc. This company produces writing materials, school supplies, and office supplies. Its product line includes envelops, writing notepads, pens, pencils, erasers, letterheads, etc.
The clients for Stationary Inc. are segmented into three groups - primary and secondary education institutions, small businesses, and corporations. Stationary Inc. has also recently forayed into Publishing.
Keep this scenario in your mind moving forward, as the modules are based on this context.
