Kiptr is using the "upside-down" Tree analogy to describe the structure of data.


Project = Tree Trunk

  • The Project is the tree. Multiple Projects are a forest.
  • A Project is the representation of all the data required for a certain scope.
  • A Project can grow or cut back based on phase its in.


Element Type = Tree Branch

  • The Element is usually a tree branch (the trunk is an Element that is only used once).
  • The Type describes the tree branch.
  • The entire Project is based on the concept of Elements.
  • An Element has a Type that describes its function.


Field = Leave

  • The Field or Fields are the leaves on a branch.
  • Each Element is of a specific Type has pre-defined and user-defined Fields.
  • The Fields describe the Type of Element by providing Field-Properties with values.


Tip:  Consider Elements as "Parents" or "Children" in a Family Tree Structure.
