Shore is a flexible and also complex data management application. The entire application is web based and all a user needs to use it is a browser. IWA collects limited personal information (first & last name, company, and email address) because it relates to the user accounts. However corporate data such as files, folders, and forms is made available to other Shore users based on security settings set by administrative users.

Terms such as click, click and drag, etc. are used frequently in this manual as it is written from the perspective of using Shore on a laptop or desktop computer. These actions on a mobile device are subtly different:

Left Click => Tap
Left Click & Drag => Tap & drag
Right Click => Tap & Hold

After reading this guide the user will know how to effectively navigate and confidently use all Shore has to offer.

The DOCX data view requires the users to have a template for the information to be rendered. Users can create their own DOCX file to return data in their own customizable way. The user could use MS Word or another DOCX editing software.

Syntax used in the Doc X template builder is inspired by Mustache. Users add {#results} at the top of the document and at the end of the document the user will add {/results}. This creates an opening and closing loop for the data. Users will also use the curly braces when they need to reference data from a form on the database. Example below is “name” right under the “results” opening loop. The “name” tag is referenced from the Registration Form in the Registration repository.
