Certain advanced configuration features allow LearningBuilder to execute custom database procedures or obtain data from custom database views. These custom database objects must be registered within the system so that they are made available to the relevant configuration screens.

Designed for complex and enterprise use cases, Custom Database Objects require advanced technical support.

Overview

LearningBuilder is a very configurable system, and many features can be configured using in-app tools such as Comparison Rules.

In some use cases, however, the expected business rules are so complex or client-specific that in-app configuration is not feasible.

In other cases, especially with very large databases, custom queries or procedures can be used to improve performance over general-purpose queries.

LearningBuilder addresses these needs through client-specific database procedures that can “drop into” features that are designed to use them.

For example, the Member Attribute allows users to pick from a list of other people in the system. If the filter logic is complex, it can be written into a stored procedure that follows a specific format, and can then be selected through the UI as part of the Attribute configuration.

Sample procedures

There are pre-existing sample procedures for many of the features that can be extended this way. Those procedures often serve as examples of the input/output parameters expected in a give use case, and sometimes implement the standard/default logic (if relevant).
