Progress Advisor

While assembling the SportsPro Order Tracking System, you receive helpful information and suggestions on creating SmartLinks from the Progress Advisor. SmartLinks provide a direct communication pathway between SmartObjects. The Progress Advisor is a dialog box that opens whenever you add a new SmartObject that could potentially serve as a source or target for a SmartLink.

The usefulness of the Progress Advisor’s suggestions depends on the way you plan your application’s development. The way to make the best use of the Advisor is to plan the application around a required workflow and to assemble the SmartObjects and other components in a way that reflects the workflow as closely as possible. For more information about SmartLinks and planning an application, see An Overview Of SmartObject Technology."
