Overview
In this document, we are going to review how Wayfast offers a documentation section to analyze all the objects from DB associated to the Project. This is a very helpful for visibility and traceability at the development application.
How to analyze the documentation from DB?
As precondition, make sure that we have an active requirement in our project. Turn to Database section at the Header menu. Then click “Documentation” tab
...
A grid view is displayed with the elements associated to our project. You can filter by “All” in the “Lines Q” dropdown field to view the entire list. Also you can find two checkboxes:
Only Modified by Me
Only Used (Last 60 Days)
Depending on the selection, Wayfast will return the details on each object’s database, # of lines, modified by and last modified date.
Click on “Loopkup” icon under “Edit Script” column
...
A new tab is displayed on screen with the script lines that we made in SQL. Also there are some dropdown fields to navigate through the different databases in the project and the corresponding tables. Also there are 2 options to execute or synchronize the script.

NOTE: This options are available depending on the credential's security settings. |
Returning to the “Documentation” tab, click “Lookup” icon under “References” column
...
A popup is displayed in order to analyze the relationship between the DB object and the different elements in Wayfast: Datasets, Controls and Actions. This window cannot be edited, it’s only informative.
If click on “Lookup” icon related to the “Versioning” column, we can observed the popup that display the scrip and all the listed versions that Wayfast synchronize in DB.
This is an important feature to analyze and track possible problems between the versions that we developed in Wayfast. Clicking on “View Script” lookup icon, we can verify the scripts and the changes made by each developer user.
Recap
In the first part of the document, we learnt how to filter the documentation associated to our Database and depending on these filters, we can observed which scripts were developed and synchronized. In the second part, we learnt how to analyze this information in detail by checking the versioning on each of the elements available in Wayfast. This is an important tool to keep the project in order and brings clarity on project’s development.
