Showroom > Records binding: user perspective
In Cloudia CMS, records can be bound together.
More precisely, it is possible to create an information structure, where for example an ordersheet record exists and is bound to an user. There can be other records, like ordersheet's items or comments, bound to this ordersheet, and so on. In technical speaking, Cloudia allows to create abstract 1:n and n:m bindings. How such a bindings are defined, is not to be discussed here, as it is a bit more complex. Please consult our web developer guide.
From the user perspective, the things are really simple. In the administration device, all the records in records list have a collumn which says how many other records are bound to this record, and just clicking the Bound records button leads to list of those records.
In illustrated example, there are 2 content types that can be bound to a gallery image — a commentary, and a rating. For example, just by rating an image, a new record (containing all the set-up details like user IP, rate value, login information — in case there is a logged user, etc.) is created and assigned to the gallery image record.
