What are role-based applications?
Role-based applications are simplified applications built for user efficiency, presenting information and data entry organized by role or user function. Role-based applications leverage familiar desktop applications such as Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook and Bing Maps to securely view, update and share information over the Internet. Two types of role-based applications are OBAs and Prolog Desktop Applications: • An OBA is an application that uses a Microsoft Office application, such as Excel, to dynamically and securely interact with Prolog Manager data via the Internet. • A Prolog Desktop Application is a utility that allows users to query (or report) and view important Prolog project data either graphically though Microsoft Bing Maps or in Excel.
