Publishing a Database to SharePoint
3. LESSON 1: NOT A DB, BUT AN APP
• Design the application. Using UML.The concept
of precedents
• Application templates
• Issues of building user interface
4. ACCESS APPLICATION DESIGN
• Application = Data + User Interface
• Data structure design
• ER charts*
• Normalization
• User Interface Design
• UML
• Usability
7. NORMALIZATION
• The process of converting a database to a form that
meets normal forms
• Designed to bring the database structure to a form that
provides minimal redundancy
• Not intended
• decrease or increase in productivity
• decrease or increase in database size
• The ultimate goal is to reduce the potential
inconsistency of information stored in the database.
9. UML
• Unified Modeling Language
• Graphic notation for designing anything
• Data structure
• Class diagrams
• User interaction
• Use case diagrams
• Other diagrams
10. CLASS
• Category of things that have
common attributes and operations
• Class diagram
• The final result of the design and the
starting point of the development
process
• useful in analyzing the domain area
17. UI & UX
• The user interface (UI), in the industrial design field of
human–computer interaction, is the space where
interactions between humans and machines occur
• User experience (UX) refers to a person's emotions and
attitudes about using a particular product, system or
service. It includes the practical, experiential, affective,
meaningful and valuable aspects of human–computer
interaction and product ownership
18. UI DESIGN
• Forms for entering data
• Form for each task
• Effective menus
• Feeling of speed
• Process Information
• Smart borrowing
• Religion, art, not science☺
21. LESSON 2: SETTING UP
APPLICATIONS
• Configure application settings. Hiding unwanted
elements of the MS Access user interface
• Additional features. Connecting external data
sources. Publishing a Database to SharePoint
23. ADDITIONAL FEATURES
• Work with external data
• import and attach a DB
• SharePoint integration *
• Move data to server
• Data publication
• Opening SharePoint lists in Access
• ...
26. EXERCISE
1. Configure the start-up
database parameters so
that at the start it
behaves like a full-
fledged application
27. BOTTOM LINE
• Design the application. Using UML.The concept of
precedents
• Application templates
• Issues of building user interface
• Configure application settings. Hiding unwanted elements of
the MS Access user interface
• Additional features. Connecting external data sources.

29. SELF-TEST
• What is UML?
• What are classes and use cases?
• What opportunities to create applications
provides Access?
• How to configure application launch settings?
