Nucleus operates on a framework of:
- Development and Maintenance utilities
- Rules, Standards, Methods and Procedures
- Commands
- Properties
- Files
- Functions
- Change and Version control
Nucleus follows a three-tier model, on an extended relational database such as Universe/Unidata as well as well as other Pick style Databases in a hybrid, host based environment.
Standard methods are followed for:
- Audit controls
- Application Development
- Application Run-time
- Security controls
- Input methods
- Output methods
- Run-time controls
- User interface options
Standard development facilities:
- Visual Interface
- Print Interface
- Data Interface
Standards enable organizations to be more effective and accomplish more in a given amount of time. Bringing new hires 'up to speed' happens quickly.
A rule-set (which may be a screen, report or process) inherits a definition layer comprised of:
- Audit Control
- Centralized File control and cross-references
- Field controls and properties
- Generalized subroutine
- Help and field prompts
- "Hot areas" and special menus
- Links and drill-down methods
- Process controls and procedures
- Modifiers
- Search methods and lookups
- Security and access rules
- Special commands and options
- Storage and retrieval methods
- Triggers and events
- Update rules
- Validations
- Visual interface
