Jannah,
My
sense of database management is that it's very important to do the detailed
records of modifications you make. To me, it's on the same level of
importance as making regular backups and regularly updating the find
fields.
When
you upgrade to (say) ebase 2.0, it'll have its own look (similar to unmodified
ebase .102/.103? I don't know, but would guess so). If you want to
re-add the customized features you had added to the earlier version (fields
you've added to screens, other custom layouts, additional fields you've added to
the database, new relationships, etc.), you'll need a careful record of what
these are.
I know
in the short time I've been working with ebase, I've already made more
modifications than my memory can track -- I'm already dependent on the detailed
records to reconstruct what I've done.
I hope
these thoughts are helpful.

Subject: [support] Likely ebase upgrades, implementing in my 'version' of ebase
We've just adopted ebase and I am planning to make a number of changes. To document them all in detail feels like a big task. What plans or revisions are likely to happen for ebase, how many changes and how difficult would it be for "a filmaker pro" to implement them in my 'version' from ebase's instructions? I certainly understand that I can only expect an educated guess here... Thanks, Jannah Riemer Data Manager Cornucopia Community Advocates Sedona, AZ
