Business Elements Relationships:
In LogixPath system, business elements are related to each other, these relationships enable users to find related data efficiently, they also provide overarching views to your entire operations. For example, in a sales order detail view, a user can see purchase orders and job orders related to a specific sales order line item. Another example is that a project detail view displays all associated sales orders, purchase orders, inventories, invoices, and payments.

Data Export:
System provides capability of exporting data to .csv files or .xml files for external file backup. A CSV file is a Comma Separated Values file, it is a plain text file containing a list of data. Microsoft Excel application and any text editor can read CSV files. An XML file is an Extensible Markup Language file containing structured and hierarchical data. It is actually just a plain text file, so you can open it in any text editor to view its contents. If you open an XML file in the web browser window, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, you can view hierarchical data, such as a sales order and its containing sub line items.
Every entity list page provides "Export to CSV" and/or "Export to XML" capabilities. We also provide one consolidated Export Data master page for site administrator to export all types of site data efficiently for the purpose of periodical data backup.

LogixPath system provides tools for you to import data contained in the .csv or .xml files. Data in the file can be previously exported from the LogixPath application or manually input by users.
